Boxes

The form has two boxes: Male Female Select one
There is no other box- No way for me to say I am not an extra piece, but the puzzle completed
by missing pieces- what was left over after they took out the ones
putting me into a box. There is only one way
that the rest will fit. But ashes don’t have a gender:
Why is it the world won’t let me be neither until I am dead?
