Think of which gender you find yourself working the most easily with, understanding easier in communication, and share if you choose.

Male. You are cognitively male.
Female. You are cognitively female.
What if you have problems with both, or it depends on the person? You can be neuter, or trans.

Cognitive gender neuters tend to have a complication when it comes to empathy. They have a neural “itch” when dealing with just about anyone, and this relates to animals as well. Cognitively, transgender individuals are either going through a psychological shift or are actually cognitively hermaphroditic. Generally the latter are high empathy and generally are very comfortable with any life form.

They don’t identify with anyone well, so they have a hard time with all to an extent? Yes, if your mirror nervous system can’t translate another, it can be a test of patience to just try simple reasoning.

When in mixed company, I always fall into conversation with men far easier. This of course has nothing to do with sexual preference, but it will shape your habits to some degree. You would be gratified most if you can allow that identification a full body role.

These types aren’t behavioural rules. If I’m not wasting your time, you will just notice feelings and inclinations that may have affected you some. It‘s a very abstract topic, funny perhaps. People take it very literally and there is no basis in fact for such a purist view.

Too literally. It is easy to distort. I counsel transgendered individuals and I see a pattern in the “purist view” so many adopt. They are struggling with a brainwashing that all people are subject to. It’s a virulent and toxic meme.

And it leads them into intense and confusing feelings they often misconstrue as sexual in nature. Yes. They feel they have to dramatize everything. It’s what most of us are taught. “It isn’t real if you won’t act it out“, or so common thinking goes and you supposedly have no choice. You have choice.

In the context of your individual biological facts, self affirmation is what I strongly recommend.

Your thoughts are welcome. Be well friends.

I know this topic well because of my own genetic abnormalities. I will share my facts and how they manifest psychologically. The gene responsible for controlling cell reproduction is glitched in me, so it affected this whole developmental process since conception. My neurons and my hormonal levels and hormone sensitivities differ from the average male. I am less sensitive to many hormones and only normally sensitive to others, so the “male aggression” doesn’t show in me.

What does this mean for my sense of gender identity? Well, another aspect is necessary to explain. I have a nervous system that imitates other peoples behaviours too much. They used to think this system didn’t do anything, but now they realize that it allows for identification of behaviour in other people. If someone, say, frowns … this nervous system creates a phantom frown in you so you can recognize the meaning of frowning.

Mirror nervous system. Mine does this too much so I mirror both genders to the same degree. In the company of women, I act feminine. In the company of men, I act masculine.

It’s like how someone’s laughter can trigger yours? That’s exactly how that’s possible, but as for gender identification, I identify with neither gender. I have no sense of myself as masculine or feminine. See how this stems from my biological data? In fact, I have no sense even of species identification, but that is not today’s topic.

Lower sensitivity to the hormonal factor and higher sensitivity to others states, so yes.

Ok, the biological gender differentiation process, like cell division itself is not perfect. It’s not uniform or mechanical. In fact, no one is purely one gender biologically nor in their neural development. There is a behaviour that manifests in all mammalian species where some males react to male pheromone in a “female” way. It is pacifying, soothing, and makes them seek emotional bonds. This does not mean they develop a sexual preference for males, but in biology they call this type the “gamma” male. It is actually very natural, but our society twists things around so a gamma male develops unnecessary psychological complications.

Gender development is so variable that they only look for functional development of one genders traits to classify this persons gender biologically. All other factors carry so much gender it is more like handedness than any reflection of your essence. A right handed person still has a left hand, and some people are very close to the middle. Women with high incidence of “male” traits, and males with high incidence of “female” traits. How many of you know at least one man who you could mistake for female on the phone?

Some women have such a low alto register it could be tenor, and some men so high a tenor it could be soprano. Young boys are very often literally sopranos, as are some men. Their voices are considered quite beautiful and they make a lot of money off of them. So even if we started selective treatment to “purify” ones developmental gender traits, we could not produce a pure male or pure female. It would actually be unhealthy if they engineered such a creature. A pure males tissues would lack so much flexibility that their heart just couldn’t work, and a pure female would have little resistance to injury as well as insufficient ability to generate body heat.

Now could someone be one gender and have a brain more like the opposite gender? The answer is yes. You could be a male and have an extensively lateral cerebral nerve architecture, and demonstrate many characteristics people judge as feminine. You can be a female and have a brain with reduced lateral connection and demonstrate the right brain / left brain style of cognitive switching.

Is there a case where there is a toxic conflict between the body traits and the other gender traits that’s it’s not healthy, or is the conflict more society induced? That is a good question and the answer is: It’s a mix. People often have to deal with psychological stresses that are toxic to their general health. In some cases there does seem to be a conflict between portions of the endocrine system, the brain toned one way and the body toned another. This would create an internal sense of frustration as your body wants and feels what your brain rejects.

I will add a third element here. I have noticed that there seems to be a third factor that pushes for coherency in awareness and that is unexplained by any biological process. I call this push for internal connection and synergy the “mind” as opposed to the brain. Your brain is in your head, mind behaviour is all throughout your body including your brain.

The mind seems to try to balance everything going on inside of you, keep it functional. The brain is just a synthesizing sense organ and what it senses it relays to the endocrine system. So if you hear a loud noise near by, you experience an adrenaline release. That’s really all the brain does. It’s an important organic computer, but it isn’t your mind.

You likely have a sense of order though you don’t like human rules, and can sense when this order is off. When it seems something is making the world “unhappy”, and this connection is very important to you. It doesn’t really have anything to do with your personal “thinking”. It is more of a sense.

When you aren’t distracted do you get a feeling like the natural world loves you? Yes, I think so.

Ok, I mean no offence, but I conclude you are light oriented. I was not describing my own workings. Do you feel like this light oriented idea is something you could work with?

Yes, though I need to find a starting point. Actually your concern for the world, so basically this is the starting point. Realizing this is true about yourself and intentionally tuning in.

There is something you could do, but maybe didn’t know you could. You have a green thumb, yes? Good with plants? Notice you feel something whenever you interact with them?

I feel their energy for sure. Ok, it’s not just their energy. It’s a mix of theirs and yours, and it meshes really well, no?

I do talk to them. And feel an acknowledgment from them? Yes, though I am still learning about how to best care for them. Naturally, you are human and they plant, but this is my point. You sense signals from the world. You can feel and create that energy you have with the plants, and heal / take care of the place you sense the signal from. Make it stronger so the harm will be less.

If I put it this way, I feel cold in a space with no plants or grass or anything. Yes, and disoriented no? You can get confused?

But if you stick a pot of pansies on the ground I feel much more grounded myself. You read the light coming off those things. It guides or can guide you. Do you feel the truth of my words and see the use in these suggestions? Would want to claim this way as your own?

They are things I have had swimming around in my head for a long time. I think it already is my own. Perhaps I confirm a truth of yours then. Identifying it, you just have to choose to use it.

Soft light. Never harsh or forceful. This is light. Darkness mirrors it and operates the other side of creation.

I see what you mean, like a druid? They have one very strong element, so basically yes, fits. It’s appropriate.

Now consider this. Our very real world has three parts. Three very basic levels, spirit, mind and body. Everything you experience is one or more of these things. Light and dark are spirit forces.

Now consider this. The four elements, earth, air, fire and water, are ordered differently based on the force of either light or darkness. Earth in darkness is not apparently the same as earth in light. What about mind as an element?

Would that be like empathic abilities? Sensing would be sensing the mind element like seeing is sensing the light element, and noticing absence is sensing the dark element.

Would consciousness be a third force between light and darkness? Basically the equation is this;

• Earth, air, fire, water, mind / light = good world, the ideal world, the world oriented in such a way that it would be heaven.
• Earth, air, fire, water, mind / darkness = scary world, chaotic, the world ordered in such a way as to limit stability and security, people might call that hell.

Maybe it is down to what you perceive as heaven and or hell? True, but consider a third equation.

• Earth, air, fire, water, mind / consciousness = creative world, a world of potential and shifting form, essences more than stable, ordered, but form more than decay.

The desired Buddhist state of mindfulness is neither dark or light, but conscious. Yes, and the world as it behaves in mindfulness would be that world. None of them are bad or insulting in my book. I think some people belong in the first and some in the second. Their temperament and instincts suit them best for dealing with light or darkness.

Mother Theresa was certainly in the light. She was, and not unenlightened.

Mindful, meaning not trying to preach your ways to others? Mindful meaning the realization of the role of mind in the perception of balance, and perhaps including orienting on it first.

Giving place to? Everyone needs to give place to it, but some people work with that element best. There is dark mind, and light mind, and consciousness oriented mind. None are better than the other.

I can make friends on both dark and light sides so I think I’m in the middle. I think all three can befriend each other. The middle is shared by all three. I have met people who were zealots about mind, and hostile to light and dark.

Dark doesn’t mean evil. I think that is where people get confused. Nope, it doesn’t, and I agree that is the point of confusion.

Do you have extra sensory perception? Extra-sensory perception is ill defined. For me, my orientation is more metacognitive. For I guess the normal person, sensory information is more attention getting. For me, internal processes are more attention getting.

Example: Taste is weaker for me, but anger feels like physical injury, and I have no “subconscious” partition so I can’t ignore things.

Does the problem of pain caused by anger bring the frustration of anger? No. No frustration. People comment that I seem non-reactive to distress. Here is the counter balance. The check on any frustration and the deeper horror. I relate to anyone. You or anyone else, first by something I sense in my head. As a kid, I would just share what I sensed in my head. I didn’t know there was anything wrong with it, but I was always met with the negative reaction. But not only that, I would sense what was in my head change from whatever normal pattern I felt to fear, confusion, disgust. It was overwhelming, very intimidating, so I was and have been too afraid to be frustrated.

For me, I sense a persons presence by something that could be metaphorically compared to breathing, and well… I guess I do have a deep seated frustration, but it has grown to an outrage.

I’d resent not being allowed to resent, and be angry for being denied the right to be angry. I know this, because this is the midway point where my emotions dangle from. I went to a chiropractor this week. I relaxed enough for him to really click the cracking crap out of me. In my humbled state, I admitted I’d been pretending to be ok my whole life and it just wasn’t generating enough endorphins. Endorphin generation can get exhausted. Those glands need rest.

I feel I don’t work them enough. This is also possible. Your neural patterns are conditioned. Neural anagrams follow cognitive forms and they are not serial. It isn’t a single path to a single destination. Any series of neural cascades can have the same meta-effect.

Neural plasticity is one of the aberrations of my condition. I can’t form “routines”, so I can’t do anything on auto pilot. This can be very fatiguing. The closest I can get to those “habits” is active continuous cognitive training. Sort of mental forms I have to reinforce to act like I have habits, psychological katas. This is why I ask my wife from time to time for “rule” information. It isn’t because I am obsessed with rules, but I can’t keep up with her patterns sometimes. So if I can get any idea of what informs her decisions, I can set myself up to fake like I’m on the same page.

How I resolved my frustration… Can you allow fire? Does allowance make fire come into being?

Making fire requires tools. Or natural processes of which tools could be said to be an agent. Anger is like fire. If you are stuck in what’s allowed, the fire will burn you, because it is a force of nature. If you accept that the frustration/anger is a force of nature, then you don’t need anyone’s permission nor do you need to allow anything. You can instead focus on choosing your preferred way of relating to it. Letting it be and letting yourself be aware of it without trying to “be” it. Is being angry necessary? Is feeling angry enough? If you feel angry instead of be angry, then you can make intelligent choices about the anger. Like watching a fire burn, it has a healthy level, but if you see it’s gone too far you can put it out. But you have to be able to sense it to control it.

Can you feel angry without having your body react to it? Your body will react to anger always, but you don’t have to react to your body.

It comes too quick for me. Hmm, well emotions has a physics to it. Can you get angry between outbursts?

My outbursts are the anger. I would say your anger outlasts the outburst. This is why they would be chronic. Can you feel the anger now?

Yes, but it’s ok. I’m not angry about it. That’s another stumbling block. People think anger is about things. Anger is a force, no object necessary. But like fire it exists in relationship to other forces and can be rebalanced by these other forces. This is why people don’t effectively control anger.

I shall look for the rebalancing effect in the people it latches itself to. You look for it in you. They will always seem like objects. Objects to love or be angry at, to understand or to ignore. You can’t draw action from them.

Each emotion has a “weight”, a degree of force. We don’t choose this quality. It’s innate, even maybe biological, but like dropping a stone into water the behaviour is predictable.

But seeing other people quicker will give me the tools I need. Ah true. Yes, being mindful of what they are doing that might trigger you. This is necessary, yes.
