We can’t love he then she?

Then, perhaps, both in one?

Or the nonbinary?

Who says?

Where is this rule written?

In some fool’s walled-off brain?

In some researcher’s skewed case study?

In an obsolete text intent on control?

Were we pans even consulted?

The answer doesn’t matter

Love, as they say, is love

Opinions, studies, and texts have no bearing

The heart must decide for itself
