My Ascent

The woman that I am makes me by position supposedly into a man. 

The hand that I take is male.

Sport is for the doing of it, not for the fastest times. 

Born a male means being born with the need to think and accept, whereas being born female means being born with the need to act. 

Carers are far too often female.
