@Clarence You have overcame one of the most toughest battles in life. Great! 

As it was one of the quotes of Socrates (I don't know weather Socrates said it or not):  Respect everyone because everyone you meet is fighting a tough battle. - I think this need to be understood by me and the forum members since it's a self-improvement forum.

Yes, indeed.

That's true, respect is crucial. We know so little about each other that we should remember to act as respectfully as humanly possible, even when we don't understand something. That requires a lot of awareness and growth, but we can all improve ourselves.

I don't think you'd want to be a crocodile. Imagine feeling no emotions but fight or flight.

I meant to post this here:

Maybe your role is not who you are, and so it isn't something fixed or set.

No, in everything. You seem to think changing one's gender is not permitted. What else is not permitted?

@Adrian colby Thank you for sharing. I've read other posts from you, too. Your contribution is very valuable. I'm also working toward fully integrating the masculine and the feminine, and especially understanding why I was born female but felt the pressing need to be male.

yes, my need to know was quite prevalent back then too. I approached my questioning from anything in biological makeup to psychological disorders. I went through discussing many possibilities with the very small support group/trans community and was met with allot of anger and dismissal. It later occured to me that the level of survival these people were in, had shut them down to any level of open mindedness or curiosity about themselves whatsoever. 
I love that you can openly contemplate and bounce ideas off people in this forum but you wouldn’t find a curious mind loose enough from its bias back then. It just left me dissolutioned and distancing myself from the lgbt as just another conforming culture with a narrative to follow. I was hard line atheist/science aligned so despite that, my recognition of conceptual constructs meant I was always in the pipeline for truth seeking or spirituality. If someone had said that to me five years ago I would have walked out and slammed the door in their face.

I think there are deep reasons beneath both, but it is a long process to uncover them as they play out in dimensions of myself I have no easy access to.

It requires sincere dedication to get to that kind of information, as well as meeting with the right people. But working to gain that understanding is highly beneficial to me, as I have a deep need for answers.

From a biological standpoint I would say we are the result of a genetic mosaic ( as is everyone else) but our combination of factors and how they express themselves into the final human structure ( while it is an obvious part of reality) is at odds with the cultural conditioning of traditional scientific definitions that no longer stand up to what is presenting more frequently in our reality. The continuing study and updating members understand it better where the traditionalists are having a tantrum being asked to let go of outdated findings that weren’t comprehensive due to a lack of data. 
 

understanding the human body as a symbolic representation of the ‘one’ and how it separates can open a deeper meaning to the cosmos. For example:

the one is a mentation/mind/idea and in its perfection has no form only the potential to become anything/something. 

the body is a blueprint: one, and from it can come infinite variations.

For sexual organs, all we have to look at is the clitoris and penis ( there are others). While they look like distinctly opposing sexes, they are in fact the same fundamental organ that is at differing stages of development. If you lack 5 alpha reductase enzyme from your genetic makeup even if you have XY chromosomes with SRY on the Y, that organ cannot develop into the penis version of the form. You could be born ‘looking’ female when the rest of your unseen genetics have made the other structures in your body male. 
 

male and female is what we label the surface appearance of things without realizing that male and female are components that combine to make up an overall appearance.
Any one of them cannot solely be used as a determining factor, hence mosaic. 
Deciding you are born female claims to be one going to the other when it’s more likely you are a combination of both ( we all are just most of us are predominantly more one side of that dimorphism) 

male and female are a binary just as the masculine and femanine are aspects of the infinite mind. What manifests out of that combination is infinite diversity of form. 
logos is a perfected idea of a form and manifest is the exploration through variation of that form which is infinite. 
( I do think that there is religious confusion over this description taking it as a literal description of biological sex and forgetting it is symbolic of the mechanism of the mind)

all the minds(gods) imagined ( creation) experience is the appearance of everything as it is here and now. 

splitting it appart and studying is just an attempt at justification for its existence. It already exists as it is and doesn’t need further investigation. You can blend a frog and look into smaller and smaller parts to see how it is made up and how it works ( which goes on infinitely) but you loose the essence of what the frog was in that process. The frog in its totality was the experience and ‘knowing’ ‘what’ it is as opposed to knowing ‘how’ it is put together and works (science or the justification for its existence when it already clearly exists)  it would be an eternal mystery. That is what the great mystery is. That nothing of the manifest world can truly be known rather experienced from its own existence. 
 

You are the embodiment of that experience. it’s completely up to you how you want to interpret the meaning for yourself and how that creates a life story for yourself. I can only advise going with what feels authentic for your own unique version of existence as you won’t find or be able to correlate it to anyone else’s. When your mind becomes sovereign and creative. You don’t need to justify your existence, just live it with an open heart and keep exploring and enjoying the best you can while you learn and grow from it. 
 

i’m here for you if you ever want to bounce ideas.

It must have been so hard.

You really look, talk and operate in a masculine way.

I didn't say ducks are above crocodiles. 

You said ducks didn't get enough "upgrades" to be crocodiles.

So, yes... clearly you see crocodiles as better than ducks and are projecting some kind of hierarchical understanding that isn't actually there in nature.

You have a lot of assumptions about reality that are getting in the way of you accepting human expressions that deviate from these assumptions and that mess with your belief framework. 

But just like the "crocodiles are better than ducks" assumption... it doesn't have anything to do with actual reality. It's just a reflection of your own belief framework.

If you want to see the truth, then you're going to need to question your beliefs about reality and to accept what actually exists there.

@Emerald you go girl!! just when things were getting messy I love how you come with a broom of logic to sweep this fool of the floor and clean the confusion with a clean mop of question's.

As none of those things, I’m curious what you mean.

I don't think crocodiles are inherently above than any other life. But I believe it's fair to say ducks don't have what it takes to survive in crocodile environment. That's not what a duck is geared for. The point of that analogy was to tell that people should do what they were built to do, rather than try to be what they are not built to be. Not that one role is better than the other. All roles are important.

Everything is permitted. Not everything is wise tho.
