Do you feel like a man or like a woman? What is a certain gender supposed to feel like? How do you know? I realize that most cisgender people have not considered these questions, but for a transgender or transsexual individual it is of constant concern. Gender incongruency is something that ~98% of the population can’t even fathom. What if the concept of gender as taught in the schools the last 100 years is inaccurate?
First understand the difference between sex and gender. Sex is determined by the parts between the legs and gender is determined by the parts between the ears. At least this is the modern or current understanding by science. Consider the possibility that each person is here in this reality for a purpose and they have chosen the roles they are to live before they are even born.
What if in fact gender is determined by consciousness, the field which surrounds the body and everything in creation. What if no one is born with a gender and instead they acquire it. Much like sexual orientation must be discovered by the individual. I cannot tell my brother that he is gay or straight or if he is man or woman. These are things he must discover. Life is a discovery! And we are explorers.
The prevalent teaching about God or Great Spirit or Universal Mind or Infinite Intelligence (or whatever you choose to call this energy) is that it has no sex or gender. Eastern philosophies have known this for centuries and in the past few centuries the western philosophies are accepting that God is not a man sitting on a throne up in heaven, some people more than others. I do not have actual statistics on this, but from what I gather this concept is changing.
The idea I present here today is that God is all there is and since God is all, so are we. This means that no one has a gender or a sex in reality! Those things only exist in this reality we call life on earth. We are indeed all androgynous beings of light! You may have seen this image presented before as alien life, for instance in the movie Cocoon (1985) or in episodes of Star Trek and in multiple instances in the media. Everything is energy.
I mention the idea of androgyny here because I feel this is the truth of nature. I believe that hetero and homo sexuality are creations of the human mind or the mind of man. This goes for what makes up a man or woman, male or female also. How do you know what a man or woman feels like? You do not, anymore than anyone else does. Just because you seem to have been born male or female does not mean you know what a man or woman feels like. It is what you say it is.
In the end you feel like YOU. Accept this feeling and get comfortable with it; it is all you will ever have in this lifetime. No matter what you change on the outside, the inner core remains the same. The experience will change and this is the point of the material world anyway. Enjoy the ride and only act with authenticity in your life. Live with pride! This is your role in life and it is mine.
