You force us
Jump multiple hurdles
Semblance of acceptance.
Taking risks
Endangering health
Appeasing dated beliefs
Others never accept.
What point
Society realize
No definitive definition
What's female/male
Only generalities.
Regardless
Cis/trans/intersex label
Society applies.
Whatever criteria used
Always be someone
Outside gender definition
One uses.
Get over it
Move on.
