I'm in kind of a weird position where I actually have very nuanced views when it comes to this topic, because I also would like to learn "glamour magic" but I actually do believe there is a primordial and fundamental difference between masculine and feminine energy, which is absolutely pivotal and essential to the dynamic of the entire cosmos down to protons and electrons. Your physical manifestation, like all physical manifestations, is symbolic of something more profound, mysterious, and eternal, that exists "beyond" this world of sensation, which us mortals can only do our best to imagine and try to comprehend.
All that being said, I'm not saying segregation SHOULD be forced, I'm saying that it just is. It's not a choice you get to make. You can, of course, alter your appearance. You can change your physical body, you can even alter your mind. You can PRESENT whatever you want. And people will believe whatever they believe. And for all intents and purposes, as far as "objectivity" in this physical world goes, if you can manifest something, then it IS very "real", as "real" as it needs to be to be a cause and have effects in physical reality. But that is a separate thing from an eternal, transcendent, immortal essence that goes beyond physical representation and cannot even be encapsulated in language or ideas - an archetype, a truly impossible concept, like a god, something that cannot be contained within a thought, a word, a label, or even a series of simple expressions and symbols. A GOD is so much more than anything so simple, and yet, all those simple things combine to suggest the various aspects of it, without ever revealing the entire picture. There's always more.
I am saying this is what "male" and "female" are actually like. They are actually transcendental archetypes which go beyond our comprehension. They are so primordial and vast, so cosmic, so powerful, that we simply cannot begin to fathom how deep the concept of "gender" really goes. So we superficially try to have these discussions about what we IMAGINE gender to be, as it manifests for us, in our species, right now, in our society, right now, at this moment of history, on this planet, etc etc. But "GENDER" itself is so much more VAST than just US and right NOW or what anyone, or even any group of people think and have to say about it.
It's like arguing over what TRUE BLUE is. Like, "no that's purple" or "no that's green" and then we argue and argue forever, because there really is "green" and there really is "blue", but it's subjective and always will be. So there's no point in arguing about definitions. Everyone has their own definitions of everything, including other things, people define everything for themselves, not just gender. They define happiness for themselves, they define injustice for themselves. It's just that, most people do this unconsciously, and they do it out of obedience to what they perceive to be "the right way" to think or act or be, some moral high ground they can virtue signal to everyone from, look at me, I'm doing "the right thing", I'm saying "the right words", you know, the things you're SUPPOSED to say about gender, and I'm not saying "the bad things", you know, the things you're NOT supposed to say about gender. That's the kind of mentality most people have about everything. They're thralls, enthralled by the volition and demands of others, so they have no volition of their own. They live in fear of consequences, and that fear is how they make their choices, they don't base their choices on hope or love or freedom, they base them on restriction and avoidance and repression, they very OPPOSITE of what LGBT+ is supposed to represent.
Anyway, I find it quite ironic that's all. Inflating anything that is happening in this physical world beyond and above being merely symbolic or suggestive, and taking anything you are seeing, smelling, touching, tasting, or hearing... way too seriously, and being hyper attached to it... that's just not for me anymore. I kind of grew out of that at some point I guess. I have no skin in that game anymore. I don't even care what my apparent gender is, I just see it as clay to mold into whatever I want. My body is like paint or clay in the hands of my spirit. I can do whatever I want with my body. Indeed, I can do whatever I want in this world, full stop, unless something stops me or I find reason not to do it. I follow my own moral code, which these days is mostly neopagan or heathen, and certainly I don't just obey something written in a book or threats and warnings I was given by some person with a white collar. Which is what has led me to being really interested in "glamour magic", because I already vibe with the idea that everything is a matter of appearances anyway.
