Frustrated that I even hesitated
as I halted before the door,
my eyes reading the sign,
illustrating society's core
values in gender delineation.
Why must we fear humiliation
for basic human rights?
People constantly putting up a fight.
Both bathrooms the same,
but we assign them a gender,
constantly trying to register
the different hormones in our brains.
Each containing one toilet, sink and waste can,
but one is marked only for man.
As a woman, waiting in line to pee,
Does it matter when in a single stall no one will see
what's in between my legs?
False claims of violence plague our society,
villainizing those who cry silently,
overlooked, misunderstood, asking for basic acceptance
as rapists in office serve no penance
for their heinous crimes.
Sick and tired of seeing the signs
a man in pants, a woman in a dress--
Why can't they just be genderless?
If everyone has to shit,
what's the difference?
In my opinion, it's none
of the government's fucking business.
