Genderless Future

Times are a changing
Some changes are bizarre 
Like a baby’s anatomy at birth
Does not define the sex they are??!!

A baby is not born a boy or girl
Just known as “Them or They“
Until the child chooses 
When they decide… they will say?

I will never call a human a “Them or They”
Let alone a child
I find it completely wrong and disrespectful 
And that’s putting it mild!!

Total confusion for a poor child
To not know who they are
Asking a child  to make such a major decision 
In my eyes Is just taking it too far!!

Now, I’m not saying what I think is right
It’s just my opinion and “ how I personally feel”
Each to their own in this world
Though I think we need to keep it real!!

Down the track chaos will reign
With this new age way of thought
Complications and issues will arise
Humans completely overwrought!

We all have the right to be who we are 
Free to choose and make a stand
I believe and respect we are all equal
Yet this pattern of thought “I find hard to understand”

Filling out a form for a genderless person in the future 
Will be quite the task
Some humans will be offended….why would you even ask??

The Question: Male or female?

The persons response:

Oh ,how very predictable 
To ask a question so despicable
It’s totally inexplicable

The Answer: Not Applicable!!!
 
If I have offended anyone I apologise 
I’m not saying I’m right or wrong
Completely just my opinion
On an issue I feel quite strong!
