Gender


Who are you to define what a man is and what a women is? You brag about our diversity You say it’s important for a well-rounded community And I agree but a kid shows up and you can’t tell if they’re a man or women and you panic because suddenly its your responsibility to determine what they are who they are Does it matter? You jump to conclusions about sexuality gender how they live their life Can we only have differences if they’re obvious to the eye? he paints his nails so he must want to be a girl and she sags her pants so she is clearly transgender they must have bad parents a drug problem STDs Because your uneducated mind tells you so but it’s none of your concern. and from birth we have a gender given to us but some of us have to correct what is right while others are fortunate not to you so suddenly categorize each person you see as though they’re a genre of music a type of wine a colored crayon but we’re humans
