I'm going to have to ask you to work with me here, and not fall asleep, as I point this out. The tradtional approach toward looking at gender, identity and sexual idenity has been to view it along the lines of a linear spectrum, which is a two dimensionlal approach!
Human beings are much more complicated than that. We are three dimesnional beings living in in a three dimesnional experience, ( I could get much more complicated mathematically and with physics than this in saying that mathematically, and in phyics there is the possibility of higer dimesnional beings {this has nothing to do with spiriturality nor religion ~ this is pure mathematics and physics} that is to say mathematiclally and in phyicss there exsist the possibility of a fourth dimensional or even an eight dimensionial being ~ who if they found themselves in a three dimesional universe ~ could literally walk through solid matter, because as eight dimensional beings ~ this would be no more an obstacle to them than walking through a wall!
With that said, think not of a linear straight line when thinking about human exsistence, to include gender idenity and sexual idenity, think more of a cube!
It has height, width and depth!
To navigate anywhere in a three dimesnional universe, you must have at least three known reference points. A longitude and a latitude, and the location of where you exsist, that is to say your location within any given point within the the three dimenssional cube!
Within this cube, the cube is divided into every smaller and smaller and smaller cubes.
Thus enters the mathematical law of permutations which states that 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 = 120! You say, "Yea, so what, Dana!" Bear with me!
Let say you invited six people over to your house, but guest No.#1 does't like guest No.#2, and Guest No. #4 doesn't like GUest No# 6. Well you certainly wouldn't want to sit them next to one another, and so you would want to sit down, and give consideration to all of the possible seating combinations, right? Well the first thing you would need to know, is how many different possible seating combinations are there? The answer can be obtained through the mathematical law of permutations! You take the total number of guest, (I'm factoring out the host to keep this simple), Which is 6! So again 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 = 120! Therefore of the six guest involved, there are 120 different possible seating combinations!
"OK! Dana? What does this have to do with being TG?"
Simply this! There are approximately 6 Billion people on the planet called Earth! Thus, mathematically, and statiscally there are literally an almost infinite number of different possible combinations of gender idenity and sexual idenity combinations!
Mathematically, the exsistence of the human race, without the possiblity of male to female transvestites, female to male transvestite, male to female transexuals, female to male transexuals, lesbians, male homosexuals, male bixseuals, female bisexuals, male to female tranvesistites that are straight, or gay, or bisexual, female to male transvestities that are striaght, gay or biseauls, or any other possible comibation of gender or sexual idenity is a MATHEMATICAL improperablity! Indeed a mathematical IMPOSSIBLITY!
Thus, again relying upon mathematics, (a given absolute discipline) specifically the mathematical field of Statistics, we arrive at the "bell curve"
While it is ture that the vast magority fall under the center of the "bell" There are are general samples that fall to either side of the "bell" In strict statisical terms, these are refered to in statisics as deviations from the norm, (Thus the slang term "deviants"
The "norm" are straight heterosexual men and women, who enter into "normal"
relations with other "straight hetersexual" relations with men and women of the oppossite sex!
As an individual, as a person, as a human being, you're going to fall somewhere to the left, right, or in the middle of any given "bell" curve! It depends upon what the subject is under study!
What I'm saying with this post is that mathematically! Yea! You're normal! Just because you're not under any particular "bell" on every given subject, doesn't make abnormal, it makes you different!
People need to understand, YOU need to understand, that the reason the God, evolution, whatever created two differesnt sexes, was to create diversity, and to increase our surviorablity as a species!
Back during the Stone Age, muscle and brawn was necessary for the surviorval of the species! That is not necessary the case anymore! A 110 pound woman with a .44 can just as effectively kill as a 230 man with his bare hands!
Given the high rate of divorce in this country, I would say that the traditional male, needs to adapt at least the atttitudes. persectives, of the traditional woman! That is to say that men need to become more attuned to the perspectives and attitudes of women! That is to say, that men need to think more like women and see things through women's perspective!
The problem there is that a lot of women, still want a man to be and act as though they were living in the Stone Age! And then they don't!
On one hand they want us to be like John Waynes' and on the other they want us to think, perceive, and believe like them! To see the world like they do, and to understand the world like they do, and when we do, they run for the Hills!
I know! I know! I've put myself "OUT THERE!"
I'd like some input on this "thought" of mine!
