Our experiences don't seem to translate into one another, unless ending up with a nonsensical translation. To give an idea: being part-time male or female sounds like being both alive and dead at the same time, or neither, or more the one than the other at different times.
Alive and dead at the same time? Or neither as in not existing at all?
It's obvious to society, but not to cisciety that gender is very diverse and that this concept of only two genders and nothing between is false and borders on ignorance.
From my viewpoint, it is the binary cis that seem to be only one dimension in their thinking, as if they are dead on one side in their world view.
I would rather be dead than to be confined to such a small empty box of thought that only allows me to think in one imaginary term of gender.
The binary gender is imaginary to a large degree, studies have shown the most cis people consider themselves to fall in a 80/20 kind of gender.
At the very least. Yet you deny even the small 20% part of yourself.
How do you even get through life thinking in only one dimension when your mind is trying to tell you your not?
It must be horribly frustrating to live behind this mask of false expectations of who you are, it is no wonder you find some kind of connection.
But your description of it has to be taken as false itself, by your own inability.
Your own refusal to even try and think in terms of more than two imaginary genders that you can only be one of.
Everything in life is somewhere on a middle ground and not at the very ends, an imaginary place you have bought into...
You aren't as binary as you have all fooled yourselves into thinking you are, by this mass buying into of the idea of binary gender.
It must be very limiting in thinking, which seems apparent to me that you do.
I can't even begin to imagine how utterly sad it must be to go through life as denying that you indeed do have traits of more than this imaginary belief that you are only this or that and not a part of all that there is to offer a person.
It's like saying you will and can only eat vanilla ice cream when there is obviously chocolate and so many other flavors available to you.
That you have to make a choice for life that you can only have either vanilla or chocolate and that the other flavors don't exist.
Because you have bought into this imaginary idea that you can only eat the flavor assigned to you at birth.
These concepts of gender as a strict binary are nothing more than opinions that have been handed down over countless generations.
To the point that cisciety today is comprised of mostly gender bigots, people who look down on anyone who is different.
Cisciety even determines that one of those binary genders is superior over the other, an off shoot of this bigotry, or maybe the root of it.
I don't know, I wasn't raised by bigots in my life, I was taught that they are limited in their abilities to think in broader terms like the rest of society..
I refer to your kind as the cisciety as opposed to the more enlighten people who make up the majority of people we all think of as society, which we are a part of.
Yet you and your kind who fail so grandly at the concept of gender, you have your own place, cisciety, a dimensionless way of thinking.
I can see by your writing, I can sense that you are indeed hiding your own gender and refuse to acknowledge that you do have traits of your other so called gender in you.
I meet people, I see people, I interact with people all day long like you, and trust me, I can see the different side of this so called binary in every single one of you.
I see it, I feel it, I sense it.
It isn't hard to do, everyone has multiple components of this so called binary gender in them.
Open your eyes, your mind if you possibly can and you'll see it too, if you can manage to crawl out of the binary box you confine yourself to.
If you wish to consider yourself binary, I don't care.
A lot of people do because of the self imposed bigotry that cisciety has bought into and now own and have to declare it true.
You are after all, ignorant enough about gender, even your own that you have to refer to us alive and dead at the same time?
You are typical of those who latch onto an idea that has no merit and is disproved over and over.
Yet you cling to the ideas that if it was good enough for daddy and his daddy it is good enough to you.
Your closed minds that there is only a black and white world of gender, yet there never has been.
It's a misconception you bought into and cling to because you own it.
The very large portion of society that does indeed have the capacity to understand that being able to think in far more diverse terms than vanilla or chocolate,
is really thinking in reality, as every person has the capacity to do.
I can't imagine the sadness and loneliness of forcing oneself into believing they are only able to think in a single dimension.
This is a universe of diversity that far more people than you could possibly know, do think in terms of more than one pitiful way that gender has to be.
It never existed as male or female, that is a construct that cisciety bought and clings to and denies that anything but their own bigoted thinking will allow.
Cisciety is ruining the ability of the rest of society to move on to bigger and better things by your limited ways of thinking...
Yah we are strong, but we have to be in the face of such narrow minded thinking.
We aren't inherently strong, we are the artists, the writers, the musicians, the poets and troubadours that you all admire so much, we aren't strong, we are real.
I don't know whether to be sad for you and your condescending attitude, or simply disgusted by your inability to see the truth in front of you.
Alive or dead? No, no no, that is ciscietal thinking, a zombie existence of a sort, to resign yourself to thinking in only one dimension of gender.
No, it is you who are either alive or dead by those standards of thinking, in that singular way of thinking, in a world that has many dimensions.
No, No, No,... it isn't us who are alive or dead, that belongs to cisciety and it's limited capability to think outside it's box it's afraid to step out of.
