THE GREAT DEBATE

I believe sex is Binary (with rare exception) but I disagree that gender is a mental construct. It is a social construct and like all social constructs it is an illusion, a veneer that covers what lies beneath the surface - the true human condition. That idea is based in human mortality and the desire to "matter" in this short time we each have. It is a drive to find meaning, to stand out, to be different. But humans are also very social and so we live in packs and tribes. Evolutionarally this was for comfort, protection and the sharing of work and resources that allowed us to survive.

Were it not for our amazing minds we would never have become an apex predator on this planet. But the bi-product of that evolution is that sort of desire to survive is still programmed into us and the idea that we must matter emerged with our sapience. I think the two are in conflict. We have seen each generation struggle to define themself. And within each generation there have been tribes that were created to further define groups within the generations. I remember when I was young it was the thing to be Goth. It was designed as a way to stand out, be different and make a statement. I see this gender spectrum idea as just a new version of this idea.

Women and minorities have fought hard, tooth and nail, to gain the rights they enjoy today. Our society has always based its social constructs on biological sex. Men went to war, women cooked etc. That is evolving and in a good way. Now women fly fighter Jets and some of the greatest chefs are men. This is a good thing. But somewhere along the way people started to feel left out. And so this new idea emerged called gender spectrum. And it is eroding these long hard fought for rights. And I agree with Kaitlin Jenner on this. Because I do people like she and I are called a transpobe. Even though we suffer the same weird feelings! It is wrong.

I posted this in another section- Be not who you want to be, Be who you were meant to be.

I was a goth growing up. It was a way to be androgynous and do things like wear weird clothes and makeup etc. I was also into punk rock scene. I was not trying to be anything but myself, find my identity, who I was. And I explored that through a ton of drugs and rock and roll and alcohol. I consciously leave sex out of that combo because I never knew who I was sexually... still trying to figure that out, but I would rather fix something that may be broken inside rather than put a bandaid on it with hormones and surgery just so i can get a pat on the back. I think people don't know who they are and gender roles are changing so fast its confusing many young people and they feel that in order to be normal they have to step out of normalcy and begin to see who they were born to be as the enemy. It's another form of radicalization that is sweeping this nation. Finally people are starting to fight back and say.... wtf is going on! Bud Lights boycott is an example of this. Mullaney is a fucking joke, a product of a society gone insane. We need to find center again.

It is no doctrine or dogma that is driving such things. It is their own narcissism and that is expanded to radicalization and groupthink. There is now also a group that is supporting pedophilia and trying to get it added to the alphabet soup of LGBT. It's getting insane my friend! I mean some people think they are cats. How long will it be before trans-cat rights start to become a thing? It's not a normal part of the human psychie when it's taken to these extremes. Kurai and I would run around this place and pretend like we were unicorns and wolfs... but it's a game. And even though I identify, I can still tell the difference between fantasy and reality. These people have lost that perspective or they never had it. This makes them mentally unstable. I see transgenderism the same way. Not something to celebrate, but something that needs much greater understanding and better mechanisms of coping with it.

And the worst part is I have been terrified to speak out about such things because the backlash from the radical woke left and the ultra christian conservative is enormous. People like me are shouted down from both sides of the fence - called names, abused verbally and physically, our property destroyed. Who are the real fucking victims here? Yea those few rational and reasonable of us that just want to talk but are caught in the middle.

And any of you fuckers that call me less than a Sith Lourdes after I take such a radical stance can kiss my androgynous Darkside nether region.

There is a world of difference between porn and natural sexuality. It is judeo-christian ideas that have demonized sexuality and made it taboo. Porn is only a logical response to such illogical and controlling moral suppression. Sex and lust are natural. Society has made it a shameful feeling and things are beginning to come back to center. Sex and sexuality should be openly discussed and expressed. It's not anything to keep in the darkness but brought into the light and celebrated.

I celebrate Beltane every spring. And part of that celebration is the crowning of a God and Goddess that then participate in an open and public sexual union in a rutual designed to celebrate life and fertility and sexuality. The God is then sacrificed by the Goddess as she remains supreme and is empowered with giving birth to the next "God". I wish the rest of the world could understand the beauty in this physical yet symbolic act.

Peaceful warriors are not peaceful because they have made peace with the world. They are peaceful because they have made peace with themselves... Peace in knowing and accepting that sometimes violence is necessary.

Give everything in the world a chance to do the right thing. And if they fail that, have no mercy.
