Re: Random thoughts on Gender...

Well… 

…slicing and dicing does seem to be a coping mechanism of the chaotically challenged.  I agree.  And I've spent more than a little energy bitching about that now and then. 

And also, hermaphrodism (sp?) seems to be a characteristic of lower life-forms.  Not higher.  Even some plants have male and females specimens of each, which makes them vulnerable in case only one survives in an area from, say, a fire - then they all die.  That's usually a sign of complexification, which is advanced.  So, yes, we are human first, m or f/m second.  And there also needs to be a way for gender to not be a curse as well - we need to rise to the challenge, not submerge below it. 

Is there a type of Trans-gender that is clearly above and different than Pre-gender? 

If so, how would we express that?

And if we express that, does that change our relationship to gender?

Wonderful thoughts, Mike.
