I had to read this twice, but I think I got it on the second read...is this implying that a gingerbread man can also be a gingerbread woman? Just teasing!
I like the coined word GENDERATION gap. Makes a clever satori-esque witty pun.
Good alliteration of the CH sounds in check and choice.
Good word economy.
Fine post, with apt artwork.
Love,

Thanks, rama. I wonder if the day will come when forms recognize different wiring.

Thanks for the great review, kiwi. The world is certainly changing. Normal may go out of style. LOL

hhhahahahha, how fun was this, and so fitting for the times, more and more young children are coming forward with this condition, i feel it is a cross mix up in their hormones, did you notice any of this when you were teaching?

I know I had one who confided in me--just the lesbian bit though. She ended up marrying a man however. Thanks for the exceptional review.

Well, you know where I stand on this issue. I check the brain...that's what determines the gender. Absolutely great work with this one. I think you did a terrific job with this and I just love the illustration too.

That story touched me deeply and I am so pleased with the positive responses I got for it. I was worried about getting a lot of flack for it, but didn't.

Hi Shari, you've penned a clever poem about gender identification issues and the often incommensurable views of the older generation with the younger ones on these issues. Good word economy and a biting social commentary.

I do hope the new generation is more informed than ours.
