What is gender?
Women are pink and destined to serve men.
Men are blue, work, and provide money for the family.
Why would that ever have to be the way?

Women are strong.
Women are powerful.
Women create men.
Yet it's WoMEN.

Men have emotions.
Men can stay at home.
Men are caring.
Yet they are told they don’t cry.

Why does gender exist?
Women and men are both humans.
They both feel the same things.
They both can do the same things.

Why put labels on humans?
All it does is create divides.
The world does not need dividing. 
We are all human no matter what label we use.
Human, no matter if you're women, men, nonbinary, genderfuild, or more.
We are just humans.
