You are not your bank account, you are not the clothes you wear, you are not the contents of your wallet.
You are not your bowel cancer, you are not your grande latte, you are not the car you drive.
You are not your fvcking khakis.

Elaborate.

I dunno. I thought about it, and they seem completely interchangeable in my mind. I cannot elaborate. I just couldn't choose one or the other.

I think it sounds and looks better to have the contraction first. Grammatically, I don't think it matters, but I think it rolls off the toungue better to say "You're not" because you can pronounce it like "Yer Not"... but maybe that's just because I'm lazy.

thats what i was going to say as well.. I've used you're not and you aren't interchangeably. It just goes with the flow of what im saying.

I think if I were a contraction I'd want to be 2 minutes apart. Because then I could say I was pregnant and everyone would stop and say OMG wow you're pregnant congratulations you freakish goul how could you be male and pregnant!?. And then I'd bludgeon them because the S word was banned on ATOT.
