A
Rose,
by any
other name,
would
still smell
as sweet.
~
The smell,
doesn’t
Change
with
the Name.
~
So,
~
Why
should
People?
~
Smells
aside,
~
A Gender,
is
a Label.
~
A
Person
stays
a
Person.
~
As
a
Rose
stays
a
Rose.
~
Nothing
has
Changed.
~
Inside.
~
Where
It matters.
The
smell,
remains
Unchanged.
~
A body,
may
change.
~
Morphing,
over
time.
~
Someone’s
Name
may change.
Maybe,
more than
once.
~
But,
~
A
Rose,
remains,
a
Rose.
