they told me that i was a girl
for i was wearing mascara and blush
they told me that i was a boy
for i was playing with trucks
they badgered me about my gender
they asked me where I fit in
i told them with wisdom that it was none of their business
my gender is not my identity
my gender is not who i am
they demanded to know what i am
i am a truck-loving, makeup-wearing human
