I find great comfort in reading your Substack. It’s a purification experience for my mind. Thank you also for bringing Jacqueline Hobbs into the conversation. Just relaxing…….
Beautiful - so satisfying to read as you cover all the points...” No clear-cut absolute opposites “ in our world...”Expressing ourselves is a matter of almost infinite shades of gray.” Young people today most definitely understand that their parents have been locked in a binary gender box & they’re creative spirits are expressing these frustrations. We as parents, grandparents, aunts & uncles need to lend them a compassionate ear, they need us. Thank you once again Cate, excellent series!
Brilliant Cate! Absolutely Brilliant! Best one of the series. Your yin/yang of the trees reminds me we were once happy to be them. Now we are no longer happy to be us. So sad.
You are so right about the power of gender issues in our world! I love that you affirm and validate that gender can be relative (while biological sex is set in the yin/yang electromagnetic binary), and acknowledge the contribution of young people of the past couple of decades for bringing this into the mainstream. If it were socially acceptable for children, teens, and adults to express their gender from the infinity of points between 100% yin and 100% yang, diverging from the narrow definition of what is male and what is female would not be defined as "disorder," and there would be no need to change one's body to conform with that expression in an effort to become "normal." The lucrative industry that has sprung up to mutilate bodies and prescribe heavy-duty drugs to young people who think there's something wrong with them would not exist, nor would the "war between the sexes" have become the tool of division that it is. And we all could not be manipulated into accepting transhumanism and the destruction of the sacred principles of masculine and feminine.
