C is gendered

but that's something I can't say anymore;

it's become a hate crime

so we'll call him AMAB

and my dogs are barking at his dog

on the other side of the road

and he's berating me for letting them bark

(not that I can stop them)

while his remains silent, and so do I.

He continues to berate me, my gender, my place of birth

and I can hear is his barking

in Sun newspaper idioms

and the old idiom: "Why have a dog and bark yourself?"
