GENDER BENDER <\/p>\n

Friend, please forgive my intrusion,
\nBut I am worried about your delusion.
\nI find it odd your pronoun infusion,
\nSuch as that “non-binary” inclusion.<\/p>\n

We hear this talk of gender confusion,
\nBut surely it is just devilish collusion.
\nDon’t leave male\/female in seclusion,
\nThey’re what we’ve always been usin’.<\/p>\n

Calling you “they” is such an illusion,
\nSo forget all of this he\/she exclusion.
\nOr I will just come to one conclusion,
\nDid you suffer some brain contusion?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
