Some say people are sometimes born into the wrong body for their spiritual Gender. Does this mean they have lived before and switched gender through biological accident of re-incarnation. The Native Americans had a tribally accepted term for this. Two spirit, or Berdache´. The two spirit member of the tribe was known as a person with two spirits inside of them. One male. One female. If Native American culture had not been overshadowed by the imperialist U.S.A. then there would be widely accepted wisdom about the transexual. After all, it is difficult , when you feel your body changing, and your spirit shifting, to know how to express your sudden explosion of intersexed feelings. Many people remain shamefaced and in denial, undercover from a society they know does not accept them. This is tragic. It could, like everything have once been different, if not for the great mistakes of patriachal brutality. Such as the ten or so centuries where they burned nine million European women to death at the stake, in the name of christianity. Sometimes for doing little more than owning ointment. If youve ever rubbed body lotion on your lover, then you know, how would you feel if madmen burst through the door and promised you a painful death in the name of the father and son. Imagine how painful that is. When you singe yourself on a fire, the smarting pain makes you withdraw with a sharp reaction. But they couldnt withdraw. They were bound there, in ropes. Nine million of them. They don´t tell you that in church.
Condemnation of ignorant cultures is, on the flipside, accepted celebration of so called heathen or savage cultures. We live in a shitty world. What do you think`?
