She's just following the American tradition:
"I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good as
belongs to you....
I am of old and young, of the foolish as
much of the wise ...
Maternal as well as paternal, a child as well
as a man ...
A Southerner soon as a Northerner ...
A farmer, mechanic, artist, gentleman,
sailor, quaker,
Prisoner, fancy-man, rowdy, lawyer,
physician, priest.
I resist anything better than my own
diversity,
Breathe the air but leave plenty after me,
And am not stuck up, and am in my place."
-- gay icon Walt Whitman.
