in the blur of nonbinary newness
and gender ideological mudslinging,
it seems we’ve forgotten there’s always been
both he-males and she-males,
both he-shes and they/thems,
butches, bitches and femmes.
biological definitions of gender
are just part of our current cultural mythology
that rates science over soul
the exterior over the interior
and hides the sacred fact,
known to wise cultures since time began,
that each one of us is born Whole
born with the key insides us to the Kingdom,
to the Glory, to the Soul.
The ancients knew the gates to Heaven
open through the inner marriage of yang and yin.
Jesus said the Kingdom can be entered
when male and female became one.
The power of shakti and shiva
exist in everyone.
In the great diverse rainbow family of humanity
there’s always been mannish-women
and womanish-men
and those who walk a path beyond gender
– the androgyne is the sacred divine child in us all,
the non-binary soul reality is the sacred door.
Suppression of transgender and all queer expression is suppression of the human spirit.
It has been going on for centuries – after the rise of Christianity brought suppression of trans Goddess priestesses and same sex relationships the Roman Empire collapsed! In medieval Europe heretical groups that opposed the oppressive power of the church were so known for their acceptance of gay sex that buggery, a term referring to Bogomil heretics from Bulgaria whose faith spread west, entered the language. The Catholic Church ensured such groups, including the Knights Templar, were wiped out.
In the Americas, the Pacific, Africa and Asia the invading Europeans found gender-variant people and same sex relationships were accepted and common. To destroy the spirit of the people the Europeans attacked the Native American gender-bending shamans – calling them ‘berdache’, a Persian word common in early modern Europe meaning a gay bottom. Do I need to mention 1930s Germany, or what is happening in the USA now?
Plato said back in the 4th century BCE:
“Taking a male lover is regarded as shameful by barbarians and by those who live under despotic governments just as philosophy is regarded as shameful by them, because it is apparently not in the interest of such rulers to have great ideas engendered in their subjects, or powerful friendships or passionate love-all of which male-male love is particularly apt to produce.”
all forms of love are sacred
gender expression is a personal thing
why do people care so much about what other people do with their bodies?
straight people been trying to punish same sex attracted people for many centuries
and some binary people can’t bear that others experience the world differently to them.
