As Male As Male Could Be

Identity is free flowing
    when you're young and growing
      at least, it was for me

  Yet somehow when I ripened
    my anxiety never heightened
  I was male, as male as male could be
    ~ two ears under straw hat, 'twas me

Life was so much simpler back when Gershon how did this all start and who is pushing this agenda. We should always remember to love those that do not have our ideology they have feelings too. Sometimes we forget to do so. I just pray for them to realize their gender. I hope I am not being biased but I have to be honest with myself and how I feel based on my faith...

I’m busily biting my tongue, GW. All this ‘fifteen zillion genders plus dog, cat or moose’ makes me seethe. Male, female… that’s your choice. Take it or leave it… Mr Platypus! I suppose, before I forget, I should say, ‘Smart write, Sir or Madam.’ Terry

Call me 'Sir Wolf.' lol... All this fun stuff going on five to six decades under me. I'm missing out on all the good times. ~ Green with Envy Male-man

And the man of the hour is the male, as male as male can be…

Actually, I'm for sure 49.9% female. After all, I was an English teacher and an ESL teacher. Almost all of my 'colleagues' were female... And I typed 85 wpm at age 12 on an old Smith-Corona upright manual typewriter... Hate to let you down there, Kim. If being a female were more fun, I'd probably have been one! But, nah! I was a pretty fair athlete in three sports. We males had so much more fun, at least 'back in the day!'
