First of all, I believe these are arguable points in that they are not accepted as facts, which is why I brought them up. Its a good set of things to take apart and discuss. And to figure out what has merit and what is plain made up or unrealistic.
1. Well I also agree with all the other writers in that the first sentence is incorrect logic. Even transsexuals or crossdressers do not change gender either. In fact cross dressers dont change gender. As far as I know only fluid persons change gender. And that the term Transgender refers to those that cross the sex/gender/gender role boundaries somehow. Not all genderqueer are transgender, but androgyne most of the time refers to non polar transgendered persons.
2. For the second point, sometimes I feel that dressing very masculine (like when I have worn a suit) is just as much cross dressing as when I wear a dress. Yes I agree that there has been Unisex items of clothing that have been around for ages. And although I do wear both extreme clothing from time to time, more androgynous items are more the norm for my comfort level. I can however wear both at different times for special occasions or to balance my emotions / personality.
3. Even if the percentage is an even 50 50, (I myself am little fluid and feel my percentage is made up differently then the 50 50). I have posted more of a 75F25M. More realistically it is more a 50F 25M 25N (N meaning Neutral/Androgynous). I am somewhat fluid in that the percentage changes slowly depending on the situation and as time goes by. After all, as I have stated before, when I was young I knew no gender. I still am at my best when I allow myself to explore the Male, female, and neutral/androgynous , to be able express and live as that which is in me. I know in my heart I will never be all male or all female, because that has never been what I desired. I am psychologically intersexed.
And the last sentence the writer wrote is a bit too much also to me. In that androgynes have been revered in many cultures for many centuries tells me the writer was trying to overkill a bit too much. Certainly some of the gods have a dual gender/sex roles. That may be what they are refering to. Having said that, the writer almost infers that androgynes should be revered just because some gods have also been androgyne. Now I may wish that I be revered in my own love relationship , but I dont think that includes any more than common respect from others.
