XXY

If Larry the Cable Guy fans get their way, and this gay marriage ban is put into place, there are gonna be some awfully tricky definitions to be made. What makes someone a specific gender?* What if they cut off their pee-pee and trade it for a foo-foo? Hermaphrodites? Etc. etc.?

Here comes Dick, he's wearing a skirt
Here comes Jane, y'know she's sporting a chain
Same hair, revolution
Same build, evolution
Tomorrow who's gonna fuss

And they love each other so
Androgynous
Closer than you know, love each other so
Androgynous

Don't get him wrong and don't get him mad
He might be a father, but he sure ain't a dad
And she don't need advice that'll center her
She's happy with the way she looks
She's happy with her gender

Mirror image, see no damage
See no evil at all
Kewpie dolls and urine stalls
Will be laughed at
The way you're laughed at now

Now, something meets Boy, and something meets Girl
They both look the same
They're overjoyed in this world
Same hair, revolution
Unisex, evolution
Tomorrow who's gonna fuss
And tomorrow Dick is wearing pants
And tomorrow Janie's wearing a dress
Future outcasts and they don't last
And today, the people dress the way that they please
The way they tried to do in the last centuries

And they love each other so
Androgynous
Closer than you know, love each other so
Androgynous

*Determination of sex occurs early in fetal development. Female is the default setting, the "on" switch for man-making being the SRY gene located on the Y chromosome. Research has shown that even a translocated SRY gene can in fact be sufficient for normal male development.
