Born as a Male
So i was told
Educated later about gender
Aware of only 2
Later a third in Transgender
My growing up years
Was kept as simple
Difference between the two
Adolescence brought to my notice
Even AIDS was made aware
When i was already sixteen
Different reasons given
On how it spread
Theories and understanding
And the lack of it
Made it very confusing
I am able to understand
But unable to share
The emotional reactions
To bring gender fluid
It is a new word
Let alone a concept or a fact
I respect those
Who describe themselves as such
Inspite of my learning and hearing
About this daily
I have no confusion
That i am what i was born as
Will remain the same
Not a conviction
Because there is no doubt
In the first place
For me to fight it
I don't think any gender
Is more superior than the other
All are equal and only
Missing word in the equation
Is respect alone
Enjoy being a male
Don't envy the others
Fluidity being new
I know that equality
Is what they expect
Not as a gift but as a right
The right thing to do
Is to do it right
