Hi! I’m Ameer Chambers, but I prefer to be called Meer. I go by He/him/His, She/Her/Hers, and They/Them/Theirs. I don’t really care what you refer to me as, as long as you’re being respectful. I would prefer not to label myself with gender because I know gender is a social construct, but because society likes labels I say i’m non-binary. The more I learn about myself in regards to gender, sexuality, and who I am in general, the more I question why society is the way it is. I’m a music major and this is my 4th semester. I graduate in the summer. For school, I play the clarinet, but I can play other instruments. I can sing too, but I prefer not to, although I am slowly getting back into it for fun. I like to create instrumental arrangements of songs I like. I want to perform and eventually settle down and be a teacher. I can see myself starting out as a high school band teacher then eventually being a professor after I’ve gained more wisdom in life. Outside of the music world, I like to draw and I’m also getting into acting. I am working on a comic that will be on webtoons. I also like wrestling and one day in the nearish future outside of my music career, i’d like to be a pro-wrestler in WWE, but I want to do more than just be a wrestler. I want to make and change history, not just with wrestling, but in music, acting, and wrestling. I believe more queer and POC representation is needed in the classical music world, mainstream acting, and mainstream wrestling and I want to help add to the representation and open doors for kids of future generations. I’m taking this course this semester for two reasons. The first reason is; because I find the topics interesting and I want to further my knowledge in gender, feminism, and queer studies. The second reason is because I wanted to take this last semester, but life got in the way, so I’m retaking it this semester, with a better mindset!
