Revelation!: Ah-ha moments for the Androgynous

Life is not made up of good and bad, or even a mixture of both.
It's an endless stream of positives and negatives.
There can be no healing without first the struggle.
There can be no acceptance without at first resentment.
There can be no courage without at first fear and no strength without at first weakness.
People are people, there's no denying that, but to dream a  dream of overcoming what you are faced with externally and internally is masterful, and the feeling is close to heaven on Earth, that feeling of contentedness and seeing the polarity of our blessed world. 

The Meaning of Androgynous

1. Biologically having the same characteristics as a male and female, hermaphroditic.

2. Being neither distinguishably masculine or feminine, as in dress, appearance or behavior.

I can't think of anything more fun than being androgynous. I'm not a hermaphrodite, but I love my boy hips as my mom calls them. I like having my hair cut short (I recently went to a barber shop and like it a lot). I also like wearing pants opposed to dresses, but often I wear both. In this day and age anyone can be androgynous. More and more people are blurring the gender and even sexuality lines. The info pamphlet for the queer youth group I attend once a week puts the entire acronym for the gay community which should more than ever be called the queer community. I once looked upon it with dumbfoundedness and then understanding. Instead of just LGBT or LGBTQ it looked like this: LGBTQQIAP. Now, since I filled out the anonymous questionnaire every time, where we check each box we identify ourselves by (along with our gender if we want), I now know what all of these stand for. There's more!

Lesbian

Gay

Bisexual

(Gender) Queer 

Ouestioning

Intersex

Asexual

Pansexual (my personal favorite sexuality)

Also: Gender Fluid

I find all these sexual identities extemely refreshing. I end up checking almost every box every time! I usually check both male and female boxes, because I belief we have both feminine and masculine qualities in us. I love the freedom of these boxes, because I remember filling out a survey, and having to check "Gay", "Lesbian" or "Straight". I blanked. Then I checked "Gay", because it was sort of an umbrella term in my eyes. Freedom to identify however one may wish is a definite privelage in my eyes.
