When “just in recent times”
Or “born this way” aligns,
When I control
Some part or whole,
My differences still aren’t crimes.
I think the obsession with having been “born this way” largely stems from the idea that you need to be “innocent” to be guiltless.
If something is weird then you need to have no control over it, otherwise it would be mandatory to fix it. If I said that I had control over my stimming and could stop it at any time, people would request I do so. Not for my comfort but for theirs. If I said that I had control over my gender and could be something binary or maybe even cis, people would request I do so. If I said that I have control over my sexuality and could make myself heterosexual, people would request I do so. If I said I could control my attraction and could make myself monogamous, people would request I do so. If I said that I could control my disability and could choose to stop a flair up in its tracks, people would request I do so. They would never ask out of the goodness of their hearts, they would always be asking because I was annoying, concerning, distracting, or inconveniencing them.
Diversity is sometimes only tolerated if you have no control. If you have control, rules will be made to stop it. Hair will be straightened, clothes will be standardized, languages will be shushed, interests will be squashed, weight will be lost, and so on and so on and so on. Proving that we were born this way replaces the more obvious, that we’re okay this way. I don’t need to be a helpless victim of my differences to be forgiven for them. My differences aren’t crimes.

What's a limerick?
Well, first let me structure portray -
Five lines in a strict rhyme scheme stay
The first two and last
With third-fourth do contrast
This rhyme scheme’s AABBA!
So each line should always have three
Of it’s syllables stressed, let’s agree.
It’s trimeter form
And quite a strict norm
For the first two and last line you see.
The couplet meanwhile has two
Of it’s syllables stressed, as you knew.
But harder is matching
And moving and patching
The number of unstressed parts too.
When you write a good lim’rick, it’s best
To have syllable “feet” not be messed,
But have unstressed parts match
Like in this one you’ll catch
I have two quiet ‘fore the ones stressed.
While two unstressed each time
Is common, I will chime
Just one works too
The goal’s that you
Can match within each rhyme.
I hope I answered your question!
I’ve got to admit, in confession,
I clearly don’t always
Do all that in all these,
But I hope it’s a helpful suggestion! :)

can you write one about the mars reconnaissance orbiter
The MRO spacecraft’s designed
To search and to try hard to find
Some water on Mars
And support from the stars
The missions of NASA in kind.
‘Twas launched by US in ‘05,
A year plus for it to arrive
And do science orbits
‘Fore moving to core bits
Of science phase data archive.
Its mission objectives include:
Observing the climate that’s viewed,
Geology inspection,
Some land site detection,
And sending Earth data accrued.
To meet all those goals, it does use
Three cameras through which it finds views,
Spectrometers, and
To see under sand,
A subsurface radar can’t lose.
At 18 years old, it exceeds
Intended design life and speeds
Through data relaying
For ground missions staying -
It’s long-lived and still it proceeds.

An excellent question, for sure!
On mobile, I just will endure.
And I'm no inventor
But shift and then enter
Should get you the wide spacing cure!

I would love to read a limerick about my cat named Alfredo
here she is, for inspiration:
For Honey, a cat owner’s credo:
This fuzzy soft feline tornado
Is beauty and grace
With cuddly face -
The cutest of all is Alfredo!

So sometimes in all of my zest
(For limericks, as you have guessed)
I end up with more
Than one option for
A lim’rick, so which is the best?
A:
I want invented caps
To pain that heals all scraps
Of wounds without
A long time out -
A vitamin perhaps
B:
I want things to collapse
All wounds without time-lapse.
A healing, yummy
Type of gummy
Vitamin perhaps..

If you've been feeling droop
Or stuck on boring loop
Perhaps it's time
To try and mime
A simple little Boop!
boops you

I thought that my limerick tools
I’d use for the date’s prankish rules
But all I could think
Was “yeah like this link
Needs days set aside to be fools”

The series by Tolkien does shine a
Light on the Ring and the kinda
Things you should know -
Discomfort might grow
When ousting it from your vagina
There's just so much I don't know about Tolkien's work
