First I have to say is Im sorry for the barbarity snd fascism you faced cause of your autism 🫂
Also I read this from you and it made me think of something . I find it odd that we have advanced how complex our understanding of human beings and gender are and yet....we STILL have caveman days levels of designatiin when it comes to determining a person's gender ? Why?
We literslly have technologies that we can use to help a person transition from one gender to another or even to help them become more like the non-binary person they really are with different hormones! And different sugeries!...and yet....we still have this binary caveman designation when it comes to understanding gender!?
Back im the neolithic days a person would burn at the stake the suggestion that such a tjing as 'hormones' exist or even at the suggestion of a mosaic model of gender, gender expression , and sexuality...and yet....most humans stilll drag on this neolithic barbaric format when it comes to understanding modern gender, gender expressions and sexuality?!
We outnumber the capitalists, we always have and we always will, so I dont see why WE aent the ones who are dictating jow we define , format , understand, and deeper research things like gender, gender expressions, sexuality, and even other concepts relating the mosaic models of human categorization that we havent begun to even imagine yet!
And I say this as a cis-male who was rsised with that very binary, caveman, oooga boooga 'oNlY mAlE AnD fEmAle' model of gender. I was actually somewhat shocked when I was presented this mosaic model relating to the mosaic model of gender and sexuality and human categorization. And this is only thr SURFACE! We can go deeper!
Cause like think about it : With the mosaic model of gende r, sexuality, and human expression w e are merely scratching the SURFACE of things relating to gender snd sexuality and human expression . We have learned more about the human brain in the last 30 years alone than we have in the last like 500 or 1000 or whatever millenia....what is to say that we are not going to do the same when it comes to gender, sxuality and human expression in the next 30 years? Heck there could be like a 3D or even 4D Mosaic Model that finally accurately , undeniably, falsifiably defines ALL of human gender, sexuality and expression!
Maybe Im getting a bit too ahead of myself with the 4D model lol but I do think we can all agree that our current understanding of gender, sexuality and human expression and even social relations betwween different people of different genders is being held back by letting ourselves be controlled by capitalists who only want to research new weapoms to more effectively vaporize Palestinians, Colombians, Cubans , and Sudanese .... 😐 We gotta end that!
I think its funny that you mention us still having cavemen levels of designated gender, I've seen references to neolithic and Neanderthal people as being less rigid, example skeletons buried with weapons or hunting equipment designated male until DNA shows they're female, also bodies of tattooed female shamans. I can't point you in the direction of any links yet (I'm in a hospital right now) but I think its assumed that child care, "womens work" keeping the home fire burning and the food cooking was more of a joint community effort with both male/female involvement
Perhaps our ancestors were more accepting of the natural mosiac of gender and sexuality than we are now?
I think the dogma of the Church has destroyed a lot of natural rhythms of human nature, the whole "its Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" strict gender roles/rules and misogyny, which is ironic as Jesus was always about love your neighbour, do unto others, let he who is without sin etc And let's face it he probably had a wife and female disciples
Its always about power and control to stop the majority overthrowing the rich minority, then as now
So fucking sad
