How very interesting, I just hope they do not allow transgender into sports unless they play in a league of their own, I did notice some years ago that a transgender was allowed to compete in the weightlifting women event at the Olympics, and it was so off-putting, very well written****kahpot

Thank you, kahpot. The next five years will tell the tale.
Comment from Pam (respa)
-You did a good job with this, Bill,
and make this terminology more clear.
-You manage to do that with
good description and rhyming couplets.
-I have heard many of these terms
but didn't always understand them well.
-I like your closing verse and appreciated the poem.

Thanks, Pam. Certainly confusing for adults and for the poor kids coming up.

You are welcome, Bill. It certainly is. I assume you researched this or had a good site that explained it all.

Omigosh! How does one keep up with what is the proper thing these days? So hard to keep up, but as far as I'm concerned, what you were born with is what you are. ð???

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Today gender is a minefield and there are so many varieties and I have a hard time with some people's identities but I do believe in 'live and let live' and it does not bother me how someone presents themselves, it is up to them. Your write made me smile Bill, you brought some humour into this write, love Dolly x

Thank you, Dolly. Tough stuff to grasp.
Comment from Mary Vigasin
A very witty take on how things have gotten out of control. What is wrong with people? This creative and clever poem pokes fun at how foolishness has overtaken sensibility.
Well-done Bill.
Best wishes,
Mary

Thanks, Mary. Just keeping track rather than poking fun, I hope.
Comment from Ulla
Hahaha, you make me laugh, Bill. You take the Mickey and I liked that. The world has simply gone stark raving mad, and I refuse to be on that wagon. There's either a female or a male and the there are the gays and the lesbians, and in my book that's where it stops. Loved your poem. Ulla:)))

Thanks, Ulla. Guess it is more a mental than physical thing.

Yeah, but then the whole world's gone mental. This has to stop, and I'm no prude. I'm going to write a story about a horse I once had, and that will put it all into perspective. lol. :)))
Comment from nomi338
No I am not. As a matter of fact, I now have a huge headache as I try to figure out how I can remove myself from a society that has gone stark raving made. Tell oh mighty oracle, What do you call an old man who has had enough of this madness and just wants to retire from modern society as it has now become known.

This is world of neither hot nor cold. Let us be one or the other.
Comment from BethShelby
This is an excellent poem that was fun to read, but sad that there is so much truth to these definitions. It was a lot easier when there was only male, female and queer and until the 60's I thought all queers were males.
Females were tomboys but not necessarily in the sexual sense.

Our lives begin with black or white, day or night, and hot or cold, until we eventually notice the gray, warm twilight. Man, I will need to write that down.
-
Yeah! That is insightful and inspiring. Write it down. You a philosopher as well as a poet.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
What is wrong with people? If you have one, you're male, if you haven't, you're female! So simple, why does everyone want to complicate it? You're poem made me smile, we are now at a place where we can't say 'him or her' anymore. Suddenly, I'm glad I'm old. We're allowed to make mistakes, because we're feeble minded!! Lol. This is a fabulous poem, my friend, you've taught me a new language. I take it we are still on planet Earth? Lol. Well done, loved having a giggle. :)) Sandra xx

Comment from Jumbo J
Hi Bill,
what an entertaining write... I would class this as a great rhyming poem in a chapter of information... and relevant I must say. I heard genderfluid the other day and didn't have a glue what it meant, and of course you have answered much more than I thought I never knew, or even need to know.... hmmmmm?
Ah, it just all so complicated when it come to sexual orientation, or how one presents, or identifies.
I've got to be honest, it spin my head a tad... where are the days when everything was so less complicated.
But now because of you I have an armoury of terminology to help me negotiate this mind-field... thank you Bill!
Enjoyed your wit and attention to detail... a great chapter.
With our thoughts we create...
labeled accessories.
Kind regards,
James.

Thanks, James, for the great review. I heard there were several labels now, but this just scratches the surface.

My pleasure Bill.
Scratches the surface? I can feel another chapter brewing:)
