Transition, transend, transgress...

At the heart of the condition lies a disonace betwee what is readily apparant. Discomfort at being perceved as somthing one is inherantly not, be that male or female, forces one to look at the essential humanity we all share, but that differes in each of us. naturaly this has far reaching consiquences to ones world view.

Strictly speaking, ones gender is fixed. It can be refined and explored but it does not change, save in becoming more apparant, although aspects of made may become more or less prominent over time be that hours or years. A sharp contrast to sex, which can be altered with nothing more than scalples and potions.

But there is a transitory aspect to the process. We have become aware of how artificaly enforced the gender-binary is. Beyond this we have also learnt to properly balance and incorperate the masculine and feminine influences that define us. And so yes, we have to some degree outgrown the concept of gender, even as we become increasingly aware of its impact on us, both as an internal and extrnal factor.;

And what is left? We have begun the process of becoming both more and less male and female at once. If this makes us more or less "human", I can not say.

Greeks can be nightmarish. I refer of course to the thinkers of old who can and will argue both sides of the coin. Morality is difficult.

Is it, my little deviants, a greater sin to allow one to suffer needlessly, or to undermine the foundations of human will?

Naturaly we must all walk this fine line, and it is in the nature of the kinkster to interperate "will" and "suffering" in unconventional ways. Alas this perspective does not clarify the matter away from the saftey of our dungeons and pagents. Seldom can real life be negotiated in advance.
