From what I’m getting these days from media outlets, many believe (and claim science proves) that there is no gender - it just something made up.
Thank goodness! It comes just at the time when "Trans-Gender" people are becoming more vocal and attended to.
Almost like what some people think of as God, they say of themselves at times (some, not all, as people who identify as Trans-Gender certainly have a variety of personal philosophies that differ among those who identify as such), that inside this thing you see, this container or vessel, is some certain entity which is what one might consider a male or a female. So of God they may similarly say, this abstract box or vessel (which for many is not deemed truly unseeable and like nothing, not made of information such as visual information or anything like things of any sort) has inside it a male, or a female, or both. Some may even go so far as to say "Man is made in the image of God, and God made male and female, then separated the m female from the male".
Whatever they say, their thinking is often rather alien to me or even in some way seeming primitive or unsophisticated or premature in its formation and formulation. In other words, sort of really stupid sounding and unclear.
The way I almost seem to see things is that if we're forced into some form, like the form of a worm, we have to deal with it, like air blown into a balloon or water filling some shaped sack in whatever shape.
I'm very glad that gender might be a concept being questioned and discarded by people.
I think the Trans-Gendered people might have to re-evaluate their claims and instead say "We want to be treated no different than the others of such category, we wish to pursue some certain form and stereotypical status model and don't want to be questioned or obstructed from doing so". I think it might end up being more clear than the suggestion that "I have a ghost inside me which differs from how I look". What they say in a sense may be true, an ideal or wish or desire for their form or appearance and how they want to be treated, is not meshing with the external until they really work on it and try to obey that ideal they wish for in the pursuit of being seen a certain way, and so they have to chip and chizzle.
They say God is a spirit or a ghost too, and many also say, in the image of mankind. Taken in reverse, its also frequently thought that people invest in the notion of God their interests and ideals, the box which they favor and place the things they prize.
Some people think of themselves as women while they have been born men, and likewise say that God too, like them, is a female ghost afterall. Others felt uncomfortable in their youth playing video games as a female figure, it didn't match up to something they thought they could be or appear as or wanted to appear as, and so they played games where they remotely posessed a male form or one more agreeable to them, and shudder at the thought that God be in any way unlike them, and that they ultimately can not be like God.
What does that say about someone like me?
I am disturbed by tattoos because they seem so permanent or long lasting.
I dislike choices which are final and irreversible.
Is it any great coincidence then that my God is unbound and imageless, controlling all images?
I concluded that the best position is that of utter freedom and power, to generate and possess freely and never be trapped by any act or decision, and that Best Position, that Highest Seat, that Treasure I said belongs to whatever at all is truly victorious, and gave it the shorter nickname of "God".
When they ask, if you could have any super power, what would you have? I tend to go towards transformation and generating experiences or information, the power over experience or illusion reception and the mind or reception of everything. The qualities which give most freedom and power, the qualities of God.
Sometimes I wonder if tattoos make people feel safe, if categories make people feel stable, and if a God that is like what they love to be or think is best or better is preferable to them, but they seem rather short sighted overall in their magnification of this particular animal.
In the New Testament book called Romans, Paul says those who think of a God in the visible form of a man are given over or basically cursed to become homosexuals.
Even though I might have many reasons for why God mustn't be a form or have borders and limitations of that sort or be bound, I also don't very much approve of or admire humanity, and that can also underlie my passionate hatred of any sort of true Man-God (including Women-Gods). That the thing which irritates me most and causes me the most distress in life among the things this world seems to visibly include, humanity, also be what rules over me and my life? What a hideous proposition! Its so bad that I would have to lie to myself even if it were somehow impossibly true seeming. Never, Never, NEVER!!!!!
