several years ago now i recognized that if i wanted to improve the world
i first needed to tell a new story of hope
and gain an audience of like-minded folk
for i could not do this on my own
i thought kids might be the best target audience
for their minds have not yet developed the full skepticism that comes with age & maturity
i wanted a theme that they might relate to easier
i ended up landing on a superheroes theme
for i saw that any person could easily imagine themselves as a real-world superhero
fighting for an improved future world
i kind of used the x-men as a template
both male & female superheroes
i immediately thought of goodguys as a name
but hated the guys term
i wanted something less male & more all inclusive of all gender identity types
so i created a whole new term geyes
meaning all gender identities
used much the same way others use you guys
now just you geyes - to underscore the inclusion of everyone
i needed to tell a simple story of hope
and my aim was to gather together other like-minded geyes to co-create this story
anyone could become a goodgeye & be a goodgeyes superhero
and there is still an open invitation to do so too
