Love is the Most American Thing

Grandpa's on Facebook yelling, "Only two sexes." Got a G.E.D. in Google facts

and Sunday school, Texas. He quotes Leviticus like it's peer-reviewed. Bless his heart,

science class was missed or misconstrued. Says bathrooms need guarding from them gender sneaks.

Meanwhile, cousin Earl's been stealing copper for weeks. Worried about pronouns,

buddy, be for real. Your truck ain't paid off and you think gender's

the hill. Oh, ain't that science something? Fourth grade worksheet

got your engines running. You shout up, "Six X Y," like a honky-tonk

hymn. But intersex folks been here. It ain't a hidden gem.
