To be funded the vulnerables
must expunge all entitlements
Of course transgender is a no-go
Evidence-based diversity
is not a thing & science-based is
a science fiction fetus never wrote
A fetus never wrote
in support of the vulnerables
The thing about science-based
is not to expunge the entitlements
Evidently diversity
functions to make transgender a no-go
If transgender is a no-go
then what the fetus wrote
in evident diversity
of fundamental vulnerables
is expunged with the entitlement
& not a thing is science-based
If not a thing is science-based
can transgender be a no-go
& who will sponge on the entitlements
a science fiction never wrote
Not the foundlings of the vulnerables
in evident diversity
Despite evidence of diversity
no thing that is science-based
can be funded for the vulnerables
& transgender stays a no-go
in the science fiction that is wrote
to stay the funding of entitlements
Sponging foundling entitlements
is endemic to diversity
Of the fetus what can be wrote
to make a thing so science-based
evidentially erased, a no-go
defunded of transgressions, & of vulnerables
No unwrote erodes entitlement
What is vulnerable in fathomless diversity
is not science-based & transcendence, but no
