Why Are Androgynes of Such a Mild Temperament?

I totally had something to add to the theory, but I still can't remember it.

This thread is not long enough. It is required to be longer.

[Jaimey]

Are you a thread necromancer, Pica? 

hehe...so how should we make it longer?

We could talk about the controversial breast feeding baby doll 

[RebeccaFog]

I keep offering my breasts for people to suckle upon, but all they do is hand back a razor to me.

The look in your eyes says you need one

That doll is just wrong 

[darkenedcorridor]

ok so I realize that dolls are suppose to teach little kids how to nurture, but this seems to be a bit much...or maybe that's just the remnants of the ingrained puritanical ethics talking....

Yeah, I hear they have a version for big girls too. It weighs 265 lbs. and comes complete with three days stubble, whiskey breath and a plaid leisure suit.

Sadly, this post addresses the topic of the thread.

I'm generally mild, but when I saw 'District 9', I came out angry and wanting to wreak destruction upon the puny humans.

Yuck. Thanks. And I thought I already had trouble sleeping at night...

I've changed my mind. I don't think I have a mild temperament. Sure, I can be nice, I can be 'path of least resistance', I'm pretty tolerant and patient. But I am also a stubborn grumpy bastard. I might be long tempered, but I have plenty of rage potential.

It's just easier to be evil when you are clear headed.

Being out of place tends to knock your confidence, makes you quiet and prone to observation rather than participation. Maybe this is the root of the mild temperament stuff. It is a result of lack of place rather than actual personality?

Now that is an interesting idea.

Gender socialisation might have a part to play too. Anyone that crosses gender boundaries tends to be knocked inline. To avoid this maybe it is easier to not make waves, not cause a fuss, avoid attracting too much attention, live under the radar...

Ha! Living under the radar is what I strive for. I prefer to be invisible. Maybe this is why.

I'm on a roll now... perhaps a lot of human conflict stems from gender politics - cat-fights, male dominance, social gender rights etc... When you don't buy into that you can see that almost immediately there is much less to get into conflict about - hence the appearance of being mild.

Personally I tend not to want to have conflict as a result of growing up with a manic depressive father who could snap at any instant and become violent without any apparant cause. My older brother is a great negotiator and peace maker, probably as a result of our upbringing too. As a childhood abuse survivor I think I carry scars, the desire to avoid conflict, to take a passive approach. But as I have grown more confident in myself I have overcome some of this. Resolving much of my gender stuff has changed me for the better I think.

I tended to avoid conflicts when I was younger. I wasn't strong or fast enough. As I got older, it seemed to me that I rarely was served well by being confrontational. Maybe it's due to my history of avoiding conflict, and so I'm lousy at it now?

Furthermore, persons who are confrontational rarely win me over to their way of thinking, even when their logic is good. If I end up siding with their cause, it's because someone else was able to plead the case in a more mature and professional manner to me. Brow-beating just doesn't do it for me.

I noticed this too...I'm incredibly calm, and not at all judgmental, and am very able to dissociate from my own reality and accept others. Especially recently. Even if I am deeply offended by someones viewpoint or actions, I can still remain very civil with them. Some of my best friends are very, very "different" from me, and I can still be around them and be okay. What I mean by this is a lot of my friends are not very accepting of those who don't fit the typical gender/sexuality scheme and they voice this, but I don't take it personally. As long as they aren't over the top, I can deal with them. I've noticed that many LGBT can't be friends with someone that doesn't accept them fully, but this was never the case with me. I've been friends with people that doesn't really make "sense" (neo-nazis, gay bashing red necks, gang members), because I realize that they are not the label. I really am incapable of hating people, no matter what. It's always been a gift of my to see past the bullsh*t of people and get to know the real person. I was in a Juvenille lockup facility with a kid named Diego, who killed two people in a botched robbery. No one would have anything to do with him (except his fellow gang members). But once you got past the rough outside, he was the sweetest guy ever. He was very concerned about me it seemed, always asking how I was doing. I'm beginning to think a sense of universal acceptance may be very consistant with being truly (don't get to riled up for me saying I know what a "true" androgyne is...that's just my little perspective. What I mean is more than someone who gender-blends on the outside, more of a "internal" androgyne) androgynous in nature, because most androgynes seem to be this way naturally (even if they are aggressive). But hey, that's just what I see.
