The Gender Construct

Hoo Ha or pee pee Trouser or skirt Football or Barbie What can it hurt Pink or blue Stiletto or flat Pantie or brief Where are you at? Sugar and spice Snips and snails Flip it over Always comes up tails Tough Tom Nelly Nancy All made up But never fancy Child of love Love my child Take it as it comes Mild or wild Understanding construct And legislating depravity Don't always side With what we can see Jane maybe John And John maybe Jane But knowing how to love Is what keeps me sane. General contractors For gender construct Put up drywall Based on duct But I want my house Different from constraint One that welcomes all Free from social restraint.

There seems to be a lot more tolerance these days... nothing wrong in kids playing with toys for the opposite sex. We have a friend whose son is now living as a female and they are very accepting of it:-) hugs Jan xx
