A foot in Two worlds? Indeed you have stumbled upon a great truth that lies before us like one of those Escher paaintings, wherein you look at it once and it’s a boy and you blink and look again and it’s a girl. Now we must blink a third time, to see the whole. For it is the unified duality…of life of nature, of thought, gender, religion, politics that represents the whole of humankind. The problem we all must deal with is one of perception as opposed to awareness. Perception focuses, categorizes, pigeonholes. That is the purpose of perception.

The ‘perception’ of appropriate gender roles [whatever that means and it means something different to everyone] is strictly a conditioned view, persistently propped up by a, hierarchical, male dominated, religiously indoctrinated, self-appointed authoritarian society where the rules of engagement are determined in advance. This fixation on rigid gender roles is no more than a desperate grab at a societal control mechanism designed to keep the serfs in place.

Awareness on the other hand, spreads ut like waves in the ocean engulfing, including embracing WHAT IS. Awareness cannot be manipulated the conscious perception has been for centuriess. Aware is the purest state existence for it precedes the judgment that causes suffering.

On being male or female, what precedes these gendered determinations is the word BEING. It is the act of being that precedes gender. And what do we know about being? That from a quantum perspective WE ARE ALL LIGHT BEINGS. This is our essence, not the stuff of sex and gender that is constantly being levied against usa all. To me this is the universal truth and we must remember it lest we continue as individuals, locked into a dualistic paradigm, to become convince that all we must do to be free is decorate the walls of our cells in an appropriate, politically correct manner.

Outside the walls of the little cubicle is the vast airy, expansive realm of human diversity in all of its glory. Sure it’s scary out here in the wide open field of life, where the endless permutations of size, shape and color of beautiful wildflowers are looked upon with reverence by the same people who are threatened by gender expression.

Sorry I rambled on a bit intellectually, but I am warming up using you as a guinea pig for a treatise on Global Human Rights using the duality of gender as the theoretical springboard.

Also I am struggling as a BLONDE Brain with my new website [TRANSGENDERLIFESUPPORTSERVICES.COM] not yet published in which I will offer myself as a speaker and consultant for all things trans…except for the challenge of raising a TransKid that you have so readily embraced. Whew, you got GRIT!

Okay wait, I’m rambling on your blog…guess I should go to mine.

Thanks Mommy Jen. You remain my hero. Rosie

Added you to my blogroll, etc. What a wonderful, trying, frightening, loving, inspiring journey. I am so glad to witness it.
