Whenever the basics are forgotten, chaos an insanity ensues. It's just a cosmic law.
What basics do I mean? Well, basics like 'I HAVE a body' instead of 'I AM a body'.
Body is temporary, energy ( = soul, self, etc.) is eternal, even Einstein knew this. Energy can't be destroyed, a body can. Body has birth and death,
beginning and end, a soul doesn't, because it's pure energy.
Soul has no gender - and I don't really make a distinction between 'gender' and 'sex', except that 'gender' refers to body's shape and attributes, and
'sex' is an activity people and animals can practice.
When we put all these basics together, we get an entity that's a combination of body and spirit (or soul). The spirit enters the physical body by
connecting the silver cord to its chakra system. Chakras are like 'etheric bolts' that keep soul (and astral body) connected to the physical body,
just like you'd staple, bolt or nail curtains to a wooden board, or a calendar to a wall. Something has to keep it there.
From this, we can realize, only the BODY has a gender and genitalia. It's irreversible - once you have been incarnated to a body that has certain
gender's brain and other qualities, no matter how much you mutilate that body later, you can't change the gender until your next incarnation (and not
always then, either, because people have so much karma, they have to sometimes incarnate to the same gender's body multiple times in a row, which also
explains twisted things, like homosexuality - nothing morally wrong, it's just a natural consequence for multiple incarnations in the body of the same
gender before switching - so you feel 'uncomfortable', and your sexual preferences take some time to synchronize with the new gender - people are not
patience, though, so insted of waiting, they do other things).
Therefore, these 'gender issues' are not YOUR issues, only the BODY's issues that you are temporarily visiting and using right now. You are probably
right now in a physical body that has genitalia of a specific gender. It's irrelevant what YOU identify as, it won't change what the body is and will
be no matter what you do, until the body dies.
Having said that, we can look at this from the other perspective just as validly (if this is a word).
It's also irrelevant what people with your genitals are SUPPOSED to think, do or identify as. The truth is, you are human being first, you are a soul,
energy entity. Absolutely nothing in existence has lawful power to make you have certain values, viewpoints or self-identity, regardless of what
gender the body you are using has or 'is'.
Just because you have male genitalia, for example, doesn't mean you _HAVE_ to identify as 'man' or 'male entity' or anything like that. You can still
identify as human being, energy, soul, vibration, or whatever you truly feel and think you really are. A body has no power to dictate your identity
any more than someone outside of your body that probably doesn't even know your true, core self at all, or at least very well.
(Most people don't know themselves anyway)
It also doesn't mean that you WILL become a woman, girl, attack helicopter or Shiva just because you decide to identify as such. You may internally
experience being anything you want, but it's not going to change the physical body you are using. As most people around you will see the physical body
first, it would be insane of you to expect the other people to think of you as something contradictory to what they see when they look at you (which
is the physical body).
It's here that things get a bit tricky. It's going to be very difficult, if not impossible, to convince anyone else to truthfully see you as attack
helicopter, if you are a human being, energy entity, a soul living in a physical, male body with male characteristics and brain.
In today's crazy world, people don't understand ANY of these basics, so many insane people ARE able to make people HUMOR THEM (no one REALLY thinks a
man becomes a woman just by mutilating their physical body and eating hormones), and claim they do see them as attack helicopter. No one _really_
thinks this, though.
You can change your gender identity in 'official papers' (this is already a bit crazy, but it wouldn't be, if the basics were included - but the
system looks at people as bodies, so a man is 100% male, when the system is concerned, no matter what they feel internally as their identity (I don't
identify as anything temporary or unreal, for example, thus the temporary body I use has nothing to do with what _I_ really am, any more than the car
you drive has to do with what YOU really are).
So basically the system is saying the physical body is malleable, and a matter of 'identifying'.
Of course, to the system, it is, because system _really_ deals with 'artificial persons' that don't even _have_ a physical body. Therefore, any
'gender' marked on official papers can be easily changed - the 'gender' of a legal fiction is easy to change, unlike the gender of a physical bipedal
body.
By the way, do the 'transformers-people' think that you can change a male tiger to female tiger (or vice versa) by just putting a knife to their body
and feeding them hormones?
