I am one of many kinds

Some say my opposite are all the same

For that others say I'm cray

I can like my kin

I can like their kin

I can be a former them

And they a former me

Kids ask why I'm hurt

For I bleed 48 times every leap

But my role no longer is to sweep

Who are I, and who are they?

  • $\begingroup$ This was my first thought as well. My thought on the last clue: Eggs are gender-less until conception (ie both). $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Yes, I thought the leap was gonna be a dead giveaway =) As per the last hint, it wasn't anything special, just that rather than a woman/men I meant women/men. Feminism was a nice one, but I was expecting equal rights ;P $\endgroup$
