Census 2000 undercounted the total number of gay or lesbian households, for the purposes of this study, we estimate the gay and lesbian population at 5 percent of the total U.S. population over 18 years of age, (209,128,094). This results in an estimated total gay and lesbian population of 10,456,405. A recent study of gay and lesbian voting habits conducted by Harris Interactive determined that 30 percent of gay and lesbian people are living in a committed relationship in the same residence. Using that figure, we suggest that 3,136,921 gay or lesbian people are living in the United States in committed relationships in the same residence. '4

How ridiculous is that claim, if they had truly delved into themselves they would have find out that a soul is genderless, it is the only thing which can't be divided.

Not to diverge from your original point but.... you're making a claim here that could equally be labeled "ridiculous". First, define "soul", then establish its existence, then prove it's genderless, then prove it's "the only thing which cannot be divided".

Regarding the existence of soul, do you have ever seen the body of a dead person or animal, if so you wouldn't have asked that question. I think You will know when that invisible energy field which is fueling you would left you.Did you have ever wondered why science cant cure death of old age because they dont know what causes it.
Soul is genderless, but based on your desires and your past karma you can mould it and have your experience the you want, based on what you chose the possibility waves generated from soul would localize on your brain and would give you that experience.
Soul is immortal, non-localised, and not in the realm of space-time and it cannot be burned, shattered, divided thats what i have learnt from my ancient hindu scriptures, which does not tell me to worship any god but makes one realize that they themselves are gods.

I'm sorry, but this does not establish existence of a soul. This is, at best, an extension of your definition of a "soul".

And these are more assertions unbacked by evidence. Can you prove any of this without relying on the claims of religious texts?

Open your eyes my friend there is more to humans than just being physical.

I completely agree. In fact, I believe that the physical aspect of myself is the LEAST important part of who I am. My physical body is a vehicle which holds and transports the 'real' being that I am through this physical experience. Can I prove it? Of course not! Beliefs are a matter of faith, not fact. I believe that I am a spirit which has a mind and a body, not the other way around.
I'm an atheist, too, but that doesn't interfere with my beliefs that there is more to this existence than the physical. In fact, I believe that there is MUCH more - and that the physical is a minor aspect of our experience.

The number of gay and lesbian people are increasing day by day, the following snippet shows what was their number in US during census 2000:

And not only US, UK and the world are also seeing an increase in that, So if you ask me what is causing that i would say people are distancing themselves more and more with their true essence i.e. soul, so they are searching themselves in those roles.

You're saying people are searching for themselves... by sleeping with other people... sorry that's probably the dumbest and most illogical thing I have ever heard anyone say. The fact that you just pooped out that "non-fact" and expected everyone to gobble it up as if it were the truth is just sad at best.

Presume much? Your title is misleading, Androgynous asexual human's of the past and future, has very little to nothing to do with Sexist Female Oppression in Workplaces. All that you describe above has a lot more to do with bigotry, violence, tyrany, and plain weakness and stupidity, that can happen whenever you put any creatures together in any environment, regardless if they can reproduce asexually and are androgynous, or are male and female. Look to the top and bottom and even middle of the pyramid, of whatever developing nation you are from, to find the cause and effect of your problems. As for if the division into male and female is one of the worse thing to happen to humanity, that still remains to be seen.

Sadly, that's about as far as his journey went. The forces of oppression from without slowly consumed any spiritual progress, and atheism prevailed. *snort* there is no God. *smack* there, that's better...eyes like pins and worshiping the cellular. I think you're right. Pretty sure this is something the modern Christian has no interest in hearing of.

I have visited your threads and now i know you are atheist and physicalist, you believe human being is just a machine like a robot, but machines have no free will, ability to think or reason, beliefs and desires, machines move in a programmed fashion, machines are physical so they can't feel emotions - love, happiness, sadness etc.Now can you say the same things for a human being, can you debunk this argument.
Open your eyes my friend there is more to humans than just being physical.
