Man

In English, lower case man (pl. men) refers to an adult human male (the term boy is the usual term for a human male child or adolescent). Although men typically have a male reproductive system, some intersex people with ambiguous genitals, and biologically female transgender people, may also be classified or self-identify as a "man".

    Life is too short to be little. Man is never so manly as when he feels deeply, acts boldly, and expresses himself with frankness and with fervour.

    And was a poure persoun of a toun,
    But riche he was of hooly thoght and werk.
    He was also a lerned man, a clerk,
    That Cristes gospel trewely wolde preche.
    His parisshens devoutly wolde he teche.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    And again: No more gods! no more gods! Man is King, Man is God!— But the great Faith is Love!
