There is evidence to suugest that the Androgyne is the oldest archetype that we humans have access too. It comes up in Plato's Symposium and later Greek characters like Dionysus. Ancient Matriarchal societies like the native Americans and Daoists all make reference ot the 2-Spirit, balanced individual who has fused their opposing gender associatiated forces to become a unified, of in Jung's words, self-actualised person.
With so many new variations of gender roles and genderlessness, transexuals, polysexuals, metrosexuals, transgendered, pomosexuals, gay men practicing homo-masculinity and hyper-masculinity, straight men calling themselves ubersexuals, the lines are becoming increasingly blurred and i want to know what people think about the idea that in order to fully liberate the human condition from the shackles imposed by the divisive materialist dominant culutre that insists we adhere to a dyadic representation of gender identification. What is it to be male or female
