What Do They Call 'Him?'

Please Don't Ask Again.

What Do They Call 'Him?'

"What do they call him?"

I hear you ask;

But there is a problem with your nouns,

You should have said "Her."

"But he's male. I know him,"

You said,

You ignored me when I said,

"That was then and this is now,"

You already knew my friend well,

And she has told you it's "she" or "her"

So many times.

Now,

You won't accept it,

But that doesn't matter,

My friend is female,

And not male,

Whether you like it or not,

Your acceptance has nothing to do with it,

But my friend deserves to be respected,

Even if you don't agree;

My friend does not need your approval

to be referred to as 'she.'
