Quote from: Virginia WoolfA great mind is androgynous. It is when this fusion takes place that the mind is fully fertilized and uses all of its facilities. The androgynous mind is resonant and porous; it transmits emotion without impediment.

l'll translate Virginias words:

"It is when this car crash takes place that mind is full of ->-bleeped-<- and likes to play with itself. The androgynous mind is a bit shakey and full of holes; it leaks things as there are no walls."  ;)

LOL, I like your translation Nicky!  :laugh:

I have a theory . . .
Apparently others agree with you too ;)

I wonder what kind of fertilizer was used?  :D

hi... mild .... not a fighter .not  angry . do get frustrated . even when provoked . . yet some times been worked up .  i think as you get older you see theres no point  to that . you just do your sellf harm ...so ill walk away . even when bullied at school . yet i was strong enough to hit.   once to get respect . i only ever did that once at school . he never tryed it again . so is it a part of us as people or do we have that part of us that makes us different as andro . i know being this way we see things from both sides . & have a understanding that most people dont on an other forum i tryed to explane to them i think both as male & female . i have not meet any others like my self . so can you tell me how i explane this part of us how we see our selfs how we think & may be do things i dont allways get the words right so thats part of my problem plus dyslicsa i know how i am wired just getting the right words to explane whats in side . thats frustrating for me .

Hi Noeleena,

   One argument you might make is that every mind contains masculine and feminine traits.  For most people, one trait is much greater than the other.  For us, there is more of an equality in these traits.  At times, one trait overwhelms the other and, at other times, both traits are equal, and there are times when each trait cancels each other out.
   It is different per individual.  For each person, it is different at different times.

   Tell them you are gifted.

   I know I didn't account for every circumstance and I am not speaking for everyone.  This is my own thought at this time. We are each an individual and so you will need to apply your own perspective to your explanation.

Just a thought.  Someone else may have a better way of saying it.

Well, Pica has a theory that our gender growth kind of stops early in life.  Sometimes we use the word 'pregendered'.  I believe the idea is that we are sort of stuck at about the age of your grandchild, more or less.  Maybe that would work as an explanation. 

You can say that the part of your mind that handles gender is stuck at the level of a young child.

That's what I've been saying. In fact, I don't know why I didn't write this earlier.

I probably didn't say it too well, either.

hi...Rebis well thats right on .  never thought of that . yet thats so right stuck in my tracks not going any where  . for me it would have been age 10 . i knew yet that door was locked . i  know this has been the case in my life for 40 years ..many doors have beeb shut . 11 years ago that all changed for me . just so much has been changed . it certainlly has made a big difference to how i do things & see things .
    thats not to say every thing in my life has been a total loss  there are many nice things . still thats life ...
     I have strggeled in many ways .  ill say it this  way i would not wont to go back to most of that part of me as a male , the female . or women side of me is so much better . yet i still retain the male ness . well some of it .
     how do you find it trying to balance it knowing you can not run from this part of your life yet allowing the women or female to  come to the front . not so much with other people just with in your self . i dont get this from the other trans . they just wont to be females yet a lot are just so male .
    i find it hard going back in to the male world if you like . having hated most of it . funny as it is i am getting better at acceopting ((( males )))
     well you know the ones i mean t v c d t s . i am not saying any thing aganst them i really do get on well with them . it was just me . hated being around males . full stop ...  just 40 years of trying . knowing it was not working .
      as i am going through this i am thinking . hey . this sounds like a t s ...... i am not i never was or will be .. heck ......    i have thought about this 3 rd gender side of it how do think on that . i have thought about it just not sure   yet ... oh well time to stop . ill catch ya

Or are the unicorns just not listening well?  Most of us do live in lala-land, after all.  ;D

I've totally heard you say that before.  In fact, I think we've had discussions about it. :laugh:

I've been writing when I'm tired and unfocused. Plus, I've been trying to be serious but it's bringing me down.

   Everybody probably finds their balance in different ways.  In my case, I've done it within my mind and my soul.  You can't tell from looking at me.

   I hated being around men for a long time, but I'm okay with that now that I know who i am better than I did before.
