On Trans…
First a simple reminder of what we all are… It’s okay if you need a dictionary. I needed one my first time also…
First: The Spiritual – Mercury
The Holy Spirit, the Akasa, or Apsu. The omnipresent divine breath, the vital life force of existence, is all but one. An androgynous water of life and death, male and female, it is neither this nor that but is. It cannot be named, yet all names arise from it. It has no fixed definition, yet it defines everything that follows. At this level, distinction has not yet occurred; polarity exists only as potential. Thus, the spiritual nature of all things is whole, unified, and contains both male and female without separation.
Second: The Mental – Sulfur
The Logos, the Son, the animating fire of consciousness. If Mercury is the undivided sea, Sulfur is the flame that rises from it the will to be, to know, and to become. This is the realm of meaning, identity, and intention, where unity begins to reflect upon itself. Here polarity emerges not as flesh, but as concept: active and receptive, projecting and containing, asserting and yielding. Sulfur gives direction to the formless life force, shaping it into thought, belief, and self-awareness. It is neither fully unified nor fully divided, but the bridge between spirit and matter. At the mental level, gender exists as archetype and symbol masculine and feminine as modes of expression rather than biological facts.
Third: The Physical – Salt
The Body of Christ, Rupa of Prithvi, the crystallization of what was once fluid and fiery. Salt is spirit and mind made dense, fixed, and measurable. Where Mercury is potential and Sulfur is intention, Salt is manifestation. At this level, existence becomes bounded by form, limitation, and survival. Polarity collapses into structure, and archetype becomes anatomy. Sex is no longer symbolic but functional primarily deduced into two biological forms for the continuation of life. The body does not contain the whole truth of the spirit or the mind, but it bears their imprint. It is the vessel through which unity experiences division and returns again through death to the waters of Apsu.
Gender…
Gender, like all fundamental principles, permeates existence itself. It is a duality arising from the One, not a contradiction but a necessary tension through which being becomes knowable. Without one, the other could not exist, without contrast, there is no recognition. Yet this duality expresses itself differently across the spiritual, mental, and physical realms whole and undivided in spirit, symbolic and archetypal in mind, and fixed and functional in body. Confusion arises when these levels are collapsed into one another, when metaphor is treated as matter or belief as biology. Wisdom lies not in denying any level, but in honoring their distinctions and the harmony that emerges when each is allowed its proper place.
Recognition of Self…
When a fully formed individual chooses to express the nature of their inner identity so that it aligns with their outward form, it lies beyond my authority to grant or deny permission. The recognition of another’s self-understanding neither diminishes nor reshapes my own being, for identity is not a finite resource to be contested. Each person’s individuality carries meaning first to themselves and acknowledging that meaning in another does not require the surrender of one’s own truth. In this way, coexistence is not achieved through domination or erasure, but through the quiet acceptance that many paths may unfold without canceling one another.
In Sport…
Despite all of this, a society rooted in reason must still recognize boundaries and limitations where they materially exist. The masculine and feminine principles may intertwine in spirit and mind, but the body remains governed by nature, not intention. In domains where physical capacity is the measure such as sport honesty is not exclusion but clarity. Male and female bodies are not interchangeable, and their differences confer real, measurable advantages that cannot be wished away without undermining fairness itself. An equal playing field does not arise from pretending all bodies are the same, but from structuring spaces where each can compete without disadvantage. To preserve the dignity and achievements of women, their arenas must remain their own, just as men’s do. Justice, in this sense, is not sameness, but balance grounded in reality.
At the same time, a society bears a duty of care toward its children, whose minds and identities are still forming. Childhood and adolescence are periods governed as much by biology as by culture, where hormonal shifts naturally produce uncertainty, exploration, and self-doubt. To overlay these fragile stages with rigid ideological narratives risks mistaking development for destiny and confusion for conclusion.
Growth requires time, patience, and space free from premature social pressure, especially the pressure to define oneself before one has fully emerged. Education, at its foundation, should be oriented toward cultivating reason, literacy, and an understanding of the natural world. We should be giving them tools that empower young people to think clearly and independently. Guidance ought to serve as a light rather than a command, offering protection rather than urgency, and granting maturity the time it needs to unfold before burdening the young with the abstractions of adulthood.
PERIOD!
