Title: Culture and Tradition.....
Post by: Pica Pica on October 30, 2008, 03:41:09 PM
Nick pointed out the wish to have something of an androgyne culture and tradition, things to share and pass on to the next lot of andro-tykes. What culture shall we build?  ;D

I shudder to think... >:-)


Well, the definition of culture (simplified anyway) is language, beliefs, arts, instutions, etc., of a group of people...

so perhaps neutral pronouns (language)?  books/movies with androgynous characters?  music/musicians that are androgynous?  this forum (and others) could be our instituions. 

???  Along the right lines?

I was thinking about this today too. I thought we should start our own religion based on an ideology rather than a divine being. A religion based on peace, acceptance and tolerance and blind faith to the cause.

....it sounded better in my head :embarrassed:. :D

In all seriousness I think ours should be a culture of healers, councilors, advisors, diplomats, spiritual guides, dreamers and leaders.

the arts, music, writing, theater, movies, healers, teachers, ministers, activists, farmers, community organizers, building contractors, plumbers, etc... We're already everywhere and doing all of these things. Be visible!
