B. S. Mardhekar, Gender self-identification & Gender fluidity...दखवितिल ते भोंक रिकामें, जिथें असावें मांसल लिंग?

  Wikipedia :

"Gender self-identification is the concept that a person's legal sex or gender should be determined by their gender identity without any medical requirements, such as via statutory declaration." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_self-identification)

"Gender fluidity is a non-fixed gender identity that shifts over time or depending on the situation. These fluctuations can occur at the level of gender identity or gender expression. A genderfluid person may fluctuate among different gender expressions over their lifetime, or express multiple aspects of various gender markers simultaneously. Genderfluid individuals may identify as non-binary or transgender, or also identify with their assigned gender." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_fluidity)

ह्या वोक जमान्यात बिचार मर्ढेकर तोंडावरच पडले...

"...
पहा विचारूनि त्यांना कसली
मैथुनांत रे असते झिंग;
दखवितिल ते भोंक रिकामें
जिथें असावें मांसल लिंग.
..."

त्या हाडाच्या सापळ्याला जिवंत करून विचारायला लागेल- तुझे लिंग काय होते?
