ONE OR THE OTHER<\/p>\n

Why are you in denial,
\nOf the body you possess,
\nWe are all male or female,
\nYes, no more and no less.<\/p>\n

Now, when I look at you,
\nI see only a guy or a gal,
\nSo all of your confusion,
\nIt surely comes from Hell.<\/p>\n

Our God made no mistake,
\nIn the body that He gave,
\nWhether you like it or not,
\nYou’ll take it to the grave.<\/p>\n

You’re clearly not a “we”,
\nNor a “they” or even an “it”,
\nSo please accept your gender,
\nAnd all this nonsense quit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
