Oboznachit’ gender – eto nastoyashchii gemor
Labeling your gender is a real pain in the *ss
Menya beret tremor, kogda putayut moi gender
I get the shakes when people get my gender wrong
Ya sobral komandu, chtobi poreshat’ problemi
I put a crew together to sort things out
Yedem obizhat’sya, yedem nagibat’ sistemu
We're off to get offended, off to bend the system over
S nami lesbiyanka i panseksual
We've got a lesbian and a pansexual
Bi, persona kvir, poliamor, aseksual
A bisexual, a queer person, a polyamorist, an asexual
Interseksual, transgender, gei i natural
An intersex person, a trans person, a gay guy and a straight one
Nu i ya, konechno – doublesexual
And me, of course, I'm doublesexual
S nami grudnichok rumyanii, molodaya mat’
We've got a rosy-cheeked baby and a young mom
Bol’she ne beryom yego – on zaebal orat’
We're leaving him behind, we're f*cking sick of his screaming
S nami chernokozhii paren’, chto chernee net
We've got a black guy, as black as they come
S nami rosgvardeets, vozhd’ indeets, dazhe ment
We've got a National Guard trooper, an Indian chief, even a cop

Yeah, I'm legendary, like a myth
Ya snimayu bodi i daryu vam pozitiv
I take off my bodysuit and give you good vibes
Ya vsegda na vzvode, oskorbitel’no krasiv
I'm always revved up and offensively hot

When I whisper a brand-new feminine job title in your ear

Etot lyod vse ton’she-ton’she-ton’she
This ice is getting thinner, thinner, thinner
Smotrim seriali Ietflikh s chyornim Eminemom
We're watching Netflix shows with a Black Eminem
Genderno-neitral’nii mul’tik pro poiski Nemo
A gender-neutral cartoon about finding Nemo
Tam, gde Dzhet Li negr, tam, gde Denni Trekho – vegan
Where Jet Li's a Black guy and Danny Trejo's a vegan
A gospozha Femida boretsya za prava femok
And Lady Justice is fighting for the feminists' rights
Svoboda plamennikh rechei likho techyot budto ruchei
The freedom of fiery speeches flows boldly like a stream
Davai k nam u nas pechen’ki i okhuitel’no vashche
Come join us, we've got cookies and it's f*cking awesome
So mnoi te, na kogo vam, uvi, nel’zya mandet’ v Twitsh'e
I roll with people you, sadly, aren't allowed to diss on Twitch
Znayu, chto ya podogrel tvoi zad kak budto svch
I know I got your *ss all heated up like a microwave

GENDER is SQWOZ BAB poking fun at culture-war arguments, and he does it with a straight face and a grin. He opens by saying that "Обозначить гендер – это настоящий гемор" (stating your gender is a real hassle). Гемор is slang, short for the word for hemorrhoids, and it means a pain in the neck. Then he assembles a "team" to go "обижаться" (get offended) and "нагибать систему" (bend the system over), and rattles off a whole roll call of identities before adding himself as a made-up "doublesexual".

The chorus is the joke in grammar form: "Я обиделся / Я обиделась / Я обиделось" (I got offended) in masculine, feminine and neuter past tense. Russian verbs change ending by gender in the past, so he just runs through all three. The second verse throws in pop references: a "чёрным Эминемом" (Black Eminem), a gender-neutral cartoon about finding Nemo, Jet Li and a vegan Danny Trejo, and "Фемида" (Themis, the goddess of justice) fighting for "фемок" (feminists, a dismissive slang word). СВЧ is a microwave, as in he "warmed up your butt" like one.

It ends on "Тебя аж трясёт и это потрясающе!" (You're literally shaking and it's amazing!), a pun on трясти (to shake) and потрясающе (amazing), and the line "Обнули контракты, отмени меня" (Void the contracts, cancel me) shows he knows exactly what kind of reaction he's after. Heads up: there's some strong swearing (заебал, охуительно), so it's a bit much for the classroom.
