Male Or Female? Poem by Freeyad Ibrahim

by Freeyad Ibrahim

She -average- wears as he wears
She walks as he walks
She works as he works
She works where he works
ٍShe cuts her hair short as he cuts his hair short
He puts on makeup as she puts on makeup
She is graceful and slim as he is graceful and slim
She has flatback as he has flatback
He does not have a beard, as she does not have a beard
He has got a smooth face, as she has got a smooth face
He has no mustaches, just as she has no mustaches
He struts and shakes his body when walking
Just as she shakes and rocks her body when walking
She practices bodybuilding as he practises bodybuilding

The difference is here in the West -almost-disappeared
between male and female
After the woman is hardened
and the man is effeminated, Softened

I still remember and will never forget
On the first day of my arrival
I was walking behind a smooth person
tender, long hair, no beard, no mustache,
flatback, slim and thin figure
in lady's clothing, blue jeans, transparent T-shirt
Revealing a smooth white skin
Strutting and rocking on street
When I passed her, I greeted her:
Hello ‘Madam'
She replied me laughing
Sorry, say: Sir!
