When America Was Queer

When Europeans arrived in the Americas they found communities that accepted and respected gender diversity and same sex relationships. As with every other continent that the Europeans invaded, they imported their Christian homophobia and eradicated the memory of what once was – especially of the sacred roles that genderfluid people had long played in tribalContinue reading “When America Was Queer”

Trans Pride: 1000 years of British of Gender-Bending

On the occasion of the 7th London Trans Pride march I would like to present a guide to a millennium of gender-bending in the British Isles. Trans roots are deep! They go way back into ancient times – as demonstrated by the gender fluidity of certain deities and the existence of genderqueer priesthoods who hadContinue reading “Trans Pride: 1000 years of British of Gender-Bending”

He-Males, She-Males, He-Shes and They/Thems

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 sacredContinue reading “He-Males, She-Males, He-Shes and They/Thems”

in queerness it began…

The Long War on Trans and Gay People

As Spring approaches and a UK General Election looms, the debased and immoral Tories continue their cultural war against so-called ‘gender ideology’, with the vitriol directed mainly at born males who embody a strong feminine energy – transgender, effeminate, epicene, androgyne, mollie, intermediate type, woman-ish man: there have always been terms, in societies across theContinue reading “The Long War on Trans and Gay People”

The Rise of the Sacred Androgyne

The sacred androgyne is the archetype of the Divine Self within us, sitting there both as the eternal Magical Child of the Gods and as the Adult who has achieved maturity, peace, wisdom and lightness, through experience of both joy and pain, and through the inner union of their ‘feminine’ and ‘masculine’ components. The sacredContinue reading “The Rise of the Sacred Androgyne”

Sunak’s Disgrace

“This is a great move from a world leader,” says a pundit on Fox News in the USA about the UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s comment that “we shouldn’t get bullied into believing that people can be any sex they want to be – they can’t. A man is a man and a woman isContinue reading “Sunak’s Disgrace”

Modern society seems to have got itself into a place of utter confusion about gender identity – and this will likely not clear until the fundamental flaw in the culturally dominant scientific material paradigm is corrected.
