I don't know anyone from the Hearsay Hills, but I do know how to find some relevant data on the internet.
As far as I know it's not an actual place. I was going for a colourful way to say "hearsay, according to others, through the grapevine..." (although, after replying further down where you use it again, I think you understood my meaning).
I was going along with your colourful speech. My point here was that I value statistics over rumours, although I do realise they can be flawed depending on the circumstances of how the data was collected. Even so, I do like numbers; I'm a mathematician after all.
With it becoming more accepted and even turning into a bit of a trend, that also draws in a lot of people who would regret actually going through with it, and based on the data, they were properly detected and sent away.
I just wish the jew would hurry up and get someone else to dig-up a "new discovery" of a rich archive of our Vikings, etc., "proving" that they also had "sex changes", but due to one thing or another, the time capsule was lost in... well... time.
I don't understand why you keep bringing up vikings. As far as I'm aware, metoidioplasty, phalloplasty and penile inversion surgery were all invented in the past century. I don't see what vikings have to do with it. They are new technologies; new possibilities, for better or worse.
It would be surprising if people who wished they could be the opposite sex did not exist at all in the past, considering how restrictive gender roles have always been in societies on our planet. The restrictions shuffle around and change, yet they remain, and cause problems for some unusual individuals who don't know how to fit into such a society. Whether they feel lost or are murdered, they might blame it on their sex, and a complex may develop that way. However, having a means to change one's body to such an extent is an entirely different matter, and saying recent "advancements" in that regard were already made in the past and then lost, seems utterly ridiculous to me. Honestly, what are you even talking about?
According to a survey in the US, the regret rate for transgender surgeries was between 4-11%. That is about 1600% more regret than in the Netherlands. Due to the sample of such a survey being very baised for multiple reasons (those who committed suicide cannot fill out a survey, and some who regret it might attempt to detransition and no longer identify as transgender and therefore not fill out the survey), the actual difference is likely to be much higher still.
Does it also go per country? America is much larger than the Netherlands, so that percentage would be different.
Do you mean per state? As far as I'm aware, this particular survey was done across the whole US and did not record which states the correspondents were from.
In the end they have to realise it for themselves, or they won't want to change change their ways.
I don't think they do, though. It is, or is becoming, "accepted" or "normal" or "OK" or whatever. In other words, such people need to seek acceptance, permission, validation from strangers so that they think that they can be happy with themselves. 50 years ago, if someone "felt" the opposite sex, would they have had a "sex change" or would they have been happy and proud with their sex and got on with their lives?
If you're talking about 50 years ago, then at least a thousand or so individuals did opt for the recently invented "sex change". See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Burou and
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3901910/. Before that? They probably tried to cope with their complex/desire to change their body in another way, for example keeping it repressed or overcoming it completely.
Personally, I know of a few individuals who considered themselves transgender, but then turned back on it after doing more self-reflection and self-searching, coming to the conclusion that they were just confused and were thinking about things wrong, and became proud and happy with their sex. I've also heard of a group of people who call themselves "repressors", who seek to forcibly repress those feelings even if it causes depression and other mental problems, because they don't want to upset or disappoint their friends or family because they feel ashamed of their desire to be the opposite sex; some of these people become unable to repress it anymore when they have a mid life crisis in their 40s or so, and opt for a "sex change" anyway even after already having married and having children. I've also heard that some of such people attempt suicide because they feel like their situation is completely hopeless.
I'll give people my flavour of common sense if I think they lack it, but beyond that I don't see a point in trying to "convert" someone.
By the point you, and anyone, might manage to be able to share your/their thoughts on a subject with them, they'd have made up their minds a long time ago already - maybe for better, maybe for worse.
That's not always the case. I've met some people who were still on the fence, as well as people who thought they were sure but changed their mind anyway after having a life-changing experience. But I think in the end it's still up to them to make up their mind.
I've heard of Uvall who is said to be unisex, although it's unclear what that means. It could mean intersex, or it could be an allegory, or maybe Uvall just likes being mysterious like that. I don't think I've ever met Him(?) so I wouldn't know.
I don't know either, but a fourth possibility is that He/She was a hermaphrodite and hasn't managed to reallign that to the correct sex yet. That's just a wild speculation.
I'd say that's among what I meant by intersex, although I suppose "hermaphrodite" is considerably more specific, as intersex usually means in-between rather than both. But as you say, it's only speculation. I have no idea what unisex really means here.
On the other hand, I've heard it's common for transgender people to regret not starting hormone treatment earlier, due to the permanent nature of some changes during puberty.
Puberty is very big Physical and Biological changes, and such amount of changes also affects the Mind/Psychology and the Soul. Doing pre-puberty hormone...well... interference surely is not healthy for any of the Physical and Spiritual Bodies. I wonder how some Children are seemingly born autistic and with other deformities. Speculation is for those born deformed, they were perhaps kidnapped during (((special holidays))) and... things happened, which scarred their Souls deeply, causing massive damage in the next life. For those autistic, they learned certain ways and behaviours and ways of thinking in previous lives, and they carried over into next lives, all with people not catering to their needs, so they were more 'in themselves', and it reiterated again and again... as perhaps an oversimplification.
Having such changes for "corrective surgery" would be so huge. That would also cause major problems in any possible future lives. I think it's like a way to influence the Soul quicker is to do a Physical Body modification, and enjoy, support, encourage, grow... this so that the Mind and Psychology are intoxicated with it, which then feeds the Soul. (Consider the energy of the Soul as like another resource for healing after the Physical Body becomes ill.) The damage from being changed "to another sex" is so immense, and the attention and love given to it helps to increase the speed.
Don't you think such a permanent alteration of even their mind and Soul may be what some of these people long for? They may be foolish to feel that way, but I think there's a considerable possibility that they would not consider the consequences you mention not a problem, but rather a bonus. To destroy and damage their original sex even on a spiritual level so that they can never go back and have no choice but to continue in their desire to change. With no way back, the only options are to go forward or stagnate.
Personally, I tend to think rather long-term. Even now, I'm already coming up with ways to meet my current partner again my next life if I don't find a way to become immortal in this one. To engrave your desires upon yourself to ensure that you will achieve them
eventually, is that what they call "being persistent" or "having a big ego"?
That kind of thing is what I meant when I said I wonder if I'm a slave to my past. But after thinking about it more, I realise it's not like that. I'm only me. I'm only doing what I always wanted; what I still want. To make my dreams come true, even those from past lives, is incredibly fulfilling for me. To ensure I'll do something in the future is only to give myself all the courage and blessings I need to eventually succeed, when otherwise I might have given up. It frees me from moments of weakness and the shackles of the amnesia that otherwise come with reincarnation. If I were any less determined to achieve my goals, I wouldn't be true to myself.
However, I think that is their own fault and that they shouldn't use that as an excuse to push this kind of thing onto children and teenagers.
How many people, and sheeple, live vicariously, in whichever different ways?! Some Parents, for example, couldn't do things, so they feel the need to "live" that life through their Children.
That's true; I think it's likely for that reason that they decide to do such despicable things. The worst part is that they feel like it's "right".
[If they were really so sure then they would've acted like some kind of possessed monster and made it happen no matter what, but I believe the truth is that they needed all that time in order to make sure it was really what they wanted.
People often say X time in the past was simpler. These days, there are so many different things to do, to be distracted by, the enjoy, to keep up with, to focus upon... It's like divide and conquer - the more things there are, the more people and sheeple split-off into their own groups, and those in any particular in-group are like; like attracts like; anyone else, in the out-groups, are not wanted, and in any in-group, things are reiterated and reinforced so much that it feeds the Physical Body (e.g. tattoos, piercings, clothes worn, foods eaten, exercise done, etc., etc., etc.) which then feeds the Mind and Psychology and the Soul, which then, with it being so deeply within them, they believe it is them. With all of these many different in-groups, these things to be distracted by and focus upon, etc., people become disjointed and disconnected, more lonely, more dejected, perhaps even in their own in-group; then "need" to find solace and acceptance in "normalisation" of things and (((things))).
Someone on these forums talked about something like that; how the way feminists these days shun and insult men and boys made him feel like it was bad to be male and think that he needed to be the opposite sex. But eventually he broke out of that mentality and became proud of who he is regardless. Even so, peer pressure and normalisation of absurd things can be a scary thing. People can start to lose sight of reality, what's right and wrong, and even who they are. However, I believe inner strength has the potential to make someone immune to such a thing. The therapist I spoke to 8 years ago said that I was autistic for thinking that way; that normal people give in to the pressure and act in accordance with the group. Truly spoken like a weak fool. If the "group" you're a part of is full of delusional people who accept insanity as "reality", it's time to look for different friends. That's what I think.
Wishing in hindsight that they could've made up their mind sooner makes sense, but coping with that frustration by pushing other children and teenagers in such a direction, even going as far as to claim they're "saving" them, is outright insane.
How very christian-like is that?! They think that they are helping and "saving", etc.
They are truly depraved fools, just like any self-righteous xian out there.
What goes around comes around; or so I believe, because when I see what I believe to be injustice, I'm quick to take action to make it that way. I believe that the greatest injustice is to harm an innocent person for personal gain; based on that, perhaps you can see why I hate jews and parasites in general more than anything.
Currently, the jew - who wAnTs PeACe (I have a thread I want to make soon, but I am waiting to do it...) - reckons it has a right to exist. Should we love (corona)viruses and bacteria, who "have a right to (also) exist"?!
You should only love that which is good for you. No one would be sad if viruses suddenly stopped existing. No one would be sad if... well, you know. Someone can pretend to want "peace" and "harmony" but still harm you. That's what one calls a toxic relationship. Toxic relationships are to be cut off as soon as possible to minimise the total amount of harm done.
In perhaps an off-topic context, this is something which I came to realise. Certain types of bright people who have academic learning or other big influences have been focussed with blinkers, that all they can think and consider is in the way in which they have been taught (or brainwashed). I think this might be a reason why no commoner (allegedly) is capable of inventing a machine or device which gives decent energy, so instead we all have to pay too much to big energy companies, for example.
Spiritual Satanists are different in that regard. Unlike those who are without, we are expected to think for ourselves.
Does that make sense to you?
The more you do things, the more you get used to it and can make sense of it, and - depending on what it is - overcome it. you might get cuts and scrapes sometimes, but that can be learning opportunities.
Does that make sense to you? Going "against" nature is a futile endeavour that only leads to detriment as the laws of nature are absolute. But if you understand more deeply how nature really works, then you can squeeze your way past common sense to make the rules work in your favour, doing things that would make those with a less deep understanding unable to believe their eyes.
...
When I coded things that put others in disbelief, I did not work against the engine or bend its rules in any way. I simply used its rules in ways no one else thought of before to achieve results that were unheard of.
In a Physical way, and regarding what I said about energy creation for powering devices and things, I have thought about a device which, in my limited understanding due to not being a mechanic, electrician nor inventor, I wonder might work. The more one thinks about things, or a thing, the more they can learn more about it (with the very real possibility of having interfering ideas and problems, which can also be part of the growth and learning, I suppose sort of like the knots in the Soul which need to be overcome).
It seems you that you understand my point. "X is impossible"; such thinking will only hold one back. When you think about possibilities rather than limitations, knowledge expands. Then the next step is to discern truth from falsehood, and relevance from irrelevance. What remains is inspiration, which is essential for advancing to higher levels.
In any system, when you look past what is normal, you may see a world of counter-intuitive possibilities that could be achieved through methods that in turn seem impossible themselves; but if you look yet further, you may see even more counter-intuitive ways to make even those methods possible.
Quantum Physics, as according to the highly educated, seems to defy other laws and rules - and Quantum Physics is part of a way to explain exactly what we, JoSM members, go on about. One argument I like, and have used, is to opposers (which might actually be j00z, of course) is to disprove it, to prove it all wrong. I am thinking in the past that for any advancement, or perhaps any level of achievement, in Society and Technology, it was met with opposition. We know of at least some cases, but I wonder if it was more common than that; until the Industrial Revolution and then now the Digital Age and soon to be Space Age where things are more accepted or less unaccepted, previously "god" hated "adam" and "eve" for using the Brains it gave them.
Then thinking similarly to what I said above about Technological and Spiritual advancement and what there possibly could be - further on than that, if a society were to advance Technologically-only, or with limited Spiritual advancement, either by choice or as an experiment or something - what possible Technology, as an equivalent to Spiritual abilities, might exist? In other words - any possible Spiritual thing or ability, do or have that but in a purely Technological manner. What could there be?! It would be rather more difficult to power such devices, perhaps, and I don't mean WMDs, necessarily. I also wonder if, advancing in Technology only, that after a certain point, it not just turns into but actually
becomes, actually
is Spiritual
inevitably, so that such single-minded Technological advancement would actually turn into Spiritual advancement eventually, even if attempts were made to sway away from Spirituality.
Technology is science of the material, whereas spirituality is science of the astral. Although I don't understand the way it works yet, the two are connected; surely you've seen it for yourself before as well. I believe that when technology approaches its limits, it inevitably starts to reach into astral to achieve its goals; likewise, when spirituality approaches its limits, it begins to go hand in hand with the material world to accelerate and solidify itself.
Both sides have their distractions. Virtual reality made with technology is hardly different from delusions that can exist in spirituality, for example due to enemy programs. Things that distract from reality can lead to stagnation and the downfall of a society. But so long as a technological society stays focused on reality and practicality, in time it will advance so far that it will begin to unravel even parts of spirituality. And as long as a spiritual society stays focused on reality and practicality, it will guide them to highly efficient material ways to achieve what they want. Both are science, only a different focus. For the best results, they should go hand in hand.
I used to think such people were damaged forever, but that if they could still be happy despite that, then that's what matters.
I don't know... Today, (((media and education, including therapy/similar things))) are to force anyone to believe that being disabled is a superpower and should be embraced instead of healed. This is, of course, a distraction away from Spiritual powers - if they love the lowness, then they might not care about healing and if/when they are informed about being healed, and that they can do it themselves, they might be upset and offended because they fell in-love with the disabilities.
That doesn't apply only to people with disabilities, but also to those with harmful addictions such as smoking. They fall in love with their weakness in order to cope with it. I think they are utterly pathetic.
I've been acquainted with a pathological liar before, as well as a smoker who suffered from depression and was very open about it because he liked the pity he received from others. For years I was kind to them, thinking that those were things they could overcome. But they never changed. Even to this day, years after I stopped talking to them, I've heard they still haven't changed. Just the other day I heard the smoker got covid and had to go to the hospital because he had a punctured lung, and the doctor told him to stop smoking. He continued regardless, saying he doesn't care if he dies anyway. He's too in love with his mentality to ever want to overcome it. Most people who are depressed, deep down, just want to be happy; I feel for them. This guy? He only makes an insulting mockery of it. Deep down, he wants to stay like that until the day he dies. People like that disgust me so much.
When I was 14 year old, two ex-disabled people gave a speech at my school. Both of them were standing upright and walking on their own, even though one of them couldn't feel his left leg. Both of them were told by doctors that they would never be able to walk again as the accidents they got into damaged their spine and paralysed most of their bodies; one of them even completely from the neck down when he was only 7 years old. And yet both of them refused to accept it. Through sheer determination, over the years they slowly became able to move their bodies again; and the more they became able to do, the more they trained to become able to do even more. Running was still difficult for them, but even so, it was inspiring. Their message was: "you only truly lose when you give up."
If someone, let's say someone who wants to have a "sex change" or already did, would not want to befriend you for your opinion, is that not only because they're insecure?
I am of the opinion that, for most people, the in-group/out-group mechanism takes precedence. A person could be "friends" with their barman or hairdresser and tell them things, but not really. If they really don't care what others think or say or do, and they are proud in good ways or proud in bad ways about themselves, then I think that should possibly make it more likely for them to befriend you regardless of your own opinion.
You're right, most people do seem to prefer to stick with like-minded people. Tsk tsk, neurotypicals... Just kidding.
I've never met a person I'd consider like-minded to myself, let alone a group of such people. I form my own opinions after thinking about topics for a very long time and talking to many different people with many different perspectives. How can I absorb the opinions of a group when it would clash with some of the things I believe in? That's why I just stay myself and true to what I believe in, and don't really care if others don't see things the way I do, since I'm used to it anyway. No matter where I am, that remains true. When it comes to people on the forums, I care more about the fact that we're fighting for a common cause than differences in opinion.
If they know for sure that their decision was right, then your opposing opinion would be meaningless to them and therefore not an issue, I suppose. It is only when they're uncertain but desperate to believe that it was right that the opinions of others on something like that carry weight.
How often do people make properly-informed decisions about things, though? We've been living in a world where we have had incomplete information, that we have had to surmise, presume, suppose and extrapolate for such a long time that it has nearly become second-nature to us. Then we've wondered how and why things were not as advertised or promised, which we've had to pay for.
Then it's up to people to look into things more deeply and identify and ignore the lies and misinformation, I think.
If you would befriend someone who had a "sex change" and doesn't regret it despite your opinion, then I do not see why they would not befriend you just because their experiences contradict your opinion. As long as there is a reason to be friends, it's perfectly possible to look past some differences.
Whether trans-person or other, I think these people, these types of people, are very few and very far between. I do hope I am wrong, though.
You'd be surprised. I know people who are friends with leftists and rightists alike because they care more if someone is fun to spend time with than politics. While it's true that it's easier to befriend people with more overlapping opinions as some people are really aggressive about their opinions, for some people that isn't necessary. Personally, the only thing I can't tolerate is bullshit. And if someone does other things to gain my respect (such as doing RTRs), I'll tolerate even that to some extent; I'll just ignore it.
Based on my experiences in those dreams, I think you would feel the sensations fully, even if you were in an opposite sex body.
To be graphic - did you feel a clitoral orgasm on your real-life non-Female-clitoris, or was it on your real-life Male-urethra? A G-spot one on your P-Spot? I can't see how it would
feel correct as it should if one doesn't have the parts.
Those comparisons don't make sense to me. Each felt very distinct, both the sensations leading up to it and the resulting orgasms.
I feel the body parts I have in the dream... does that make sense?
To be slightly graphic in my reply as well: orgasms during vaginal intercourse, from clitoral stimulation, ejaculation due to penile stimulation, prostate orgasms during anal intercourse, orgasms from a particularly skilled breast massage, or from absorbing the sexual energy of someone I love; none of them are similar to each other in my experience. They each feel unique and there are major differences in the sensations and the amount of energy generated and released, as well as side effects. I'm starting to feel a bit self-conscious for exposing so much about the extent of my experiences, but if you insist that I go into more detail, I might consider it.
I wonder if it was unfair to use myself as an example, as I know deep down that my experiences are not normal. I wasn't joking when I said that perhaps I'm just weird and you would be unable to experience it; I genuinely have no idea if just anyone could or if it's due to some circumstances of mine. Even so, since we're talking about limitations, of which the opposite is possibilities, I think I count.
Although perhaps it would feel a bit unnatural and confusing mentally, but that's besides the point here.
Sorry, that made me lol - but while it might be beside your point - was it unnatural and confusing? Perhaps my point is made; it cannot 'translate' properly due to not having the parts.
For me it wasn't; it didn't feel weird at all and I enjoyed it. But I imagine that if you, who cannot even fathom the possibility of it, experienced such a thing, it might be a bewildering experience on a psychological level. That's what I meant.
Once again, that's just based on my own experiences though. Perhaps I'm just weird, and unlike me, you would be unable to feel such sensations. Even so, I think my experiences contradict your assumption here about the limitations.
So far, I have only others' experiences to go on. It sort of does help build a bit of a picture.
I think experiences to go on when it comes to this may be rather rare, so I don't blame you for jumping to conclusions about the limitations. I might've done the same if I hadn't experienced it for myself; in fact, I did consider it impossible until then, leaving my curious mind dissatisfied. But now, my curiosity is dissatisfied no more.
I was wondering a few days ago: what is freedom? Is freedom to defy the expectations of others and do what you believe in? Is freedom the courage to let go of your beliefs and walk in a new direction? Is freedom to be unbiased in your decisions, to not be influenced by your past? But is freedom not also to retaliate against the wrongs of the past and right them?
To the poor jew, it was not free until it stole and raped Palestine off the Palestinians, but to this day it is still not free (notice the contradictions in the jew and its "thinking") because it is persecuted. To the christian, it is not free because it is persecuted every day but is free because jewsus died for it (notice the jewish contradictions again). To the muslim, it is free because it has "allah" on its side, but if Female then lives in a misogynistic world (again - contradictions in jew-ness). To the backslider leaving christianity or islam, they are free from all of that and they might go and be free in another in-group to which they actually are not free, but they might feel and believe that they are. To the person who left an abusive relationship, they are free from the control and abuse and things, but not really free because of the memories and things which remind them about it. To the Spiritual Satanist, they are free from anything and everything they set their Mind to and put work into, and to heal themselves of... I would say that there isn't a "definition", but once we reach the heights of Spirituality, then that is freedom - but work has to be done; again to repeat what Führer Lord Hitler said - it's a struggle.
In other words, we are free from that which we free ourselves from. I think I understand what freedom is to me now. Thank you.
If I'm always doing what I want and what I believe in, does that mean I am free? Or am I a slave to my past, which determined what I would want and believe? As of yet, I've not found an answer.
I was going to say "unfortunately" and "regrettably"; however, it is actually a good thing...that I don't know you and your things. (I don't expect that you are actually asking
me these things, though). What I was going to say is that I can't see your life and previous lives, so I don't think it can be answered by anyone except for you - the Gods and Goddesses have Their own lives and are busy with things, so it really is only you who can truly answer that properly.
You're right. When it comes down to it, it's up to me to understand myself. That also makes sense if I consider my interactions with my Guardian, who guided me to relevant memories, but left it up to me to draw my own conclusions from it rather than telling me how to think or feel about it. These are my lives; my memories; my past; my self. That is not up to anyone but myself to determine.

Freeing the Soul first before that, as well, I would say. Perhaps for anyone individually, learning and knowing oneself does not come all at once; rather, in bits and pieces or in levels.
Do you happen to know of any examples of generic workings for freeing the Soul? As I do not know of anything that is currently binding me against my will, I don't think I could come up with a specific one myself.
Confusion about the definition of freedom aside (since you mentioned Freeing the Soul), I strongly agree with you that willignness is key in achieving any kind of change.
The more I think about things, the more I am thinking that the Brain is a conduit, which 'has' or creates the Mind, between Physicality and Spirituality. We can try to do something, but if we are stubborn and unwilling, then our Brain and Mind will not project this into the Astral, which carries its own weight and powers. It seems Spirituality is more powerful than Physicality, so if we are unwilling, then we are basically fighting a losing battle. We have to attempt and be willing, which - again as above - feeds one Body and another Body and another Body, and with the Physical and Spiritual things working together, that makes things happen, manifests things. I could be incorrect or wrong entirely, of course, but it makes sense to me. If there are any posts or sermons which allude to this, or mention it directly, then I don't think I have seen them. (That has happened quite a lot with me; it seems mere coincidence, but surely -
surely - after 1, 2, 3, 10, 20, 100... coincidences...maybe they're not coincidences anymore.)
That makes perfect sense to me as well. The material, the spiritual and the mind all have to work together to achieve something. Only when all are aligned, is success is truly guaranteed. Otherwise, one aspect will inevitably sabotage the others.
Regarding that: what decides whether or not a species of plant is a weed? Or rather, who decides?
Yeah, they're all nature - so is the jew! Even some or all(?) weeds still have buds or flowers, though. I know I have seen one species of weed which grew tall before it sprouted a more flower-like bud. Maybe things like RHS Chelsea Flower Show hypes-up the prettiness of things, but weeds tend to choke flowers so I think that reason alone (as well as Japanese knotweed!!) is why they are so disliked. Maybe 'lower' people,
untermensch, are weeds, but they still can show flower-like prettiness - can a weed be healed into a flower? A Human might be able to, but that is up to the individual.
Plants that are prone to choking out others will always do so when they thrive; parasites stay parasites. But while a flower that is sick might infect others around it, if it is healed then it can become harmless and pretty again. It all depends on the flower's true nature.
That aside, I agree on what sex change should actually mean: to go as far as to change even the primary sex characteristics (including internal genitalia) in such a way that even reproduction as the resulting sex would be possible.
That, I think, is a major factor. For now, most, if not all, would ignore it; if "sex changes" were to continue for decades or centuries, then those in the future would forget, so conveniently, that these current ones couldn't bare Children now. I don't know of any actual case of any post-transition egg/sperm production and successful pregnancy.
I don't know of any such cases either, so I assume there haven't been any yet. But who knows how that might change in the future?
On that note, do you think a future where true sex change is possible is a bad one? Just curious. I haven't formed an opinion yet.
a birth of a healthy human baby from a transplanted womb in 2014
Like any transplanted organ or bit or piece, it is not their own, so it is like a bionic arm or prosthetic leg - not actual. Some species of Animal can change sex if they need to, in order to propagate their offspring. They are much simpler than Humans. Humans should be proud to be themselves, instead of having to "change sex". While cats seem to be proud and arrogant creatures all full of themselves and stuck-up - are Humans the only species who has a self-of pride and self-worth and self-esteem? I know Animals can be depressed and sad, etc.
Yeah, I agree. I do think transplantation is a bit icky, especially for a purpose like this. I think it's still a positive thing overall when done to save a life, though. But this is admittedly rather different.
As for pride and wanting to change, I think it's difficult to be proud of something that brings you unhappiness. Should disabled people be proud of being disabled? In this case however, it's likely not truly their sex that makes them unhappy, but rather the interactions between their sex and their circumstances; for example, expectations others have of them or force on them for being a man or a woman. It could be specific people like their parents or some toxic feminist activists, or something wider like a muslim community or society as a whole, or perhaps even within human nature itself (for example that the vast majority of people is or leans towards being heterosexual). If it's just a few individuals then overcoming it may be as simple as detaching from them; but the wider the scope of such a clash, the more difficult it might be to overcome such feelings of unhappiness; at a certain level it might even feel inescapable. How can you be proud of something that haunts you wherever you go?
It was a trick question, and that is the correct answer. There is no genetic material in humans that allows an adult to change into the opposite sex; the only thing similar to that is the SRY gene which allows an otherwise female fetus to develop into a male baby, but as you said, that is something that happens in an earlier stage of development... Usually.
I think there will be a major influx of cases of grasping-at-straws-itis regarding your "usually" there. "Well, these changes
do happen, however rarely, so that's why we should continue on with sex-changes!"
I don't think that reasoning makes any sense. Surgery and delayed development due to an intersex condition are entirely different things. Not to mention, the case of Guevedoces is not a case of sex change; they are boys from the start (genetically, neurologically, and because they have fully functioning testicles), mistaken for girls because they lack a penis until puberty. But based on what information I could find, if you look at their behaviour and self-image, it's common for them to behave more typically like boys than girls even before puberty, so I think it's safe to assume they were really boys from the start anyway, just underdeveloped down there, a problem which fixes itself during puberty.
My curiosity about such specifics aside, the point still stands: whether a person's body is male or female is the result of whether or not they had the SRY gene prenatally and their hormone levels at different stages of the development of their body. Changing the hormones or genetics at a later point might change some things, but it wouldn't change everything because some things are only prone to change during specific stages, and some changes that happened naturally before are permanent.
If Uvall is the only One to apparently be intersex, with lack of more information and adding to what I speculated above, perhaps He/She is a rare case of wanting to do such things, as an experiment - or perhaps even as a God/Goddess like a patron of trans-persons, as a special case for trans-persons, similarly to how Hitler is our patron Saviour and Lady Lilith is a patron for Women's rights.
That's an interesting idea. On that note, someone on the forums did recently mention having a transgender friend who claims to have Uvall as his/her GD. However, that could be a delusion. It's hard to judge without actually meeting Uvall, and I wouldn't want to be rude by contacting Him/Her just to ask a bunch of potentially rude questions, so it doesn't seem very likely that I'll find out soon. Although I did hear an update with new information on some of our Gods is coming, so perhaps it could be in there?
On a potentially related note, a month or so after I dedicated, I went on a trip to Japan with my family and visited a shrine to the Shinto deity Inari Okami. I don't want things to get too long-winded so I'll skip some parts, but the next few weeks after that, I regularly communicated with a Demon(ess) I thought of as "Inari", who taught me some things about telepathy as well as some other useful skills. I even overcame my doubts about whether or not spirituality was actually real, as I received accurate answers to questions I could physically verify (I did some extra RTRs in return to express my gratitude). However, during this time "Inari" sometimes appeared male to me, and sometimes female. Even after asking Him/Her about it, I was unable to figure it out and concluded that perhaps "Inari" is just free-spirited and enjoys shapeshifting astrally. I don't know if the "Inari" I interacted with back then has any other names.
Considering how new I was to spirituality at the time, I realise in hindsight that it's very possible that I misunderstood or perceived some things incorrectly, despite my positive experiences with the interaction. Even so, I thought it might be interesting.
It's a little odd; in so many ways men and women are the same, and there is so much variation and so much overlap, and yet somehow they are still different, and I don't mean just their bodies. It's hard to pinpoint exactly. But I do think bisexuality may be more common than people think, and people just don't realise it because they haven't found themselves in a situation where they would have such feelings.
Apparently, gay Men's armpits smell differently than straight Men's armpits, and in a blind body odour test people are attracted to the smell of armpits who matched their own sexuality. Maybe there are study references, but it was supposed to have been an American study. Likewise, gay Men's penises are supposed to be a bit longer on average than straight Men's penises.
I've heard of the former before, it has to do with pheromones apparently.
As for a correlation between penis length and sexual preference, I've not heard of that before. What's the deal with penis length anyway? Isn't it only inconvenient if it's too long since it won't be able to go all the way in? Most vaginas aren't really that deep. Isn't girth way more important anyway, so long as it's "long enough"? Even then, too much can be a bad thing. HPS Maxine even mentioned in one of her sermons that she knew someone who was unhappy with her marriage because her husband was too big down there, causing sex to be painful. I don't really get why some men brag about it. What do you think? I wonder if it's different for guys.
Although it could also be entertaining and turn it into an insightful debate perhaps, so maybe how I deal with the situation just depends on my mood.
I CBA at the moment, but maybe in the future I will antagonise you playfully.
If you believe I've said or done anything worth antagonising, then feel free.
Regarding haters: I've noticed a bit of a trend of masculine-looking non-heterosexual men making fun of less masculine non-heterosexual men. I've been wondering, is that specifically directed towards those who stand out too much, like those who wear rather unsightly clothes with bright neon colours, or also men who enjoy dressing femininely or braiding their hair or wearing some light makeup or whatever? I'm not accusing you of making fun of such people, but I've seen another user who identifies as homosexual do it, calling them something along the lines of a disgrace, and I've also seen another user who mentioned being comfortable with his sex but enjoying such things. Unless it's only directed towards those who make fools out of themselves at parades, I wonder where the animosity comes from.
I am not that, like I said, but if others are feminine or masculine homosexuals, then that's up to them. I just meant I don't do a thing; it doesn't bother me if others do do that thing. I think it might be too many steroids, by the sounds of it. Maybe that's a stereotype, but I think it is real.
I also thought it was only a stereotype, but I did hear a lot of masculine gay men like to hit the gym, and I also heard that some people who hit the gym use steroids. Maybe it really is real then.
The example I was thinking of was when some guy tried to make a thread recommending to others the horrendous idea he had of imbuing his sex doll with a "soul", then asked HPHC why his post about sex dolls was disapproved, and HPHC explained the reason. I suppose some delusions are so vile that it's better if people aren't exposed to them.
Although the intention may not have been to gaslight if the person was genuinely that confused, the effect would still be the same
Aww, I didn't see that. I want to see it! Lol. As for giving a sex doll a... erm... soul... that would... not quite work for reasons that the doll not haz brayn, for one thing.
Here's the post where HPHC addresses it if you wanna see it:

I'll go looking sometime to satisfy your whim of making me go on a goose hunt. "I've just been a bit busy lately", I say as I write the longest post so far on these forums. I took breaks, I promise. I just thought the topic was rather interesting and wanted to reply in full.
Lol. Yeah, maybe we can see, reach, and breach the maximum post-size-limity thing on here!
Can you imagine doing this on, e.g. 140 character-limit twitter?!
I don't even know if there is a limit, but let's not take it so far that we find out.
(But even if there was, I'd just split my post if that's what it takes.)
It would take about 330 tweets to send all of this, lol. I've never used twitter though. I think there's a lot of weirdos on there.
That's an interesting analogy. No, I'm not done thinking about it yet. In a way, it reminds me a bit of how sometimes cleansing one's aura and Soul can result in more dirt surfacing from deeper within. I've experienced that before personally, and I heard HPS Maxine mentioned it as well. Is that related? I think in a sense it is, except it's happening on a larger scale in society now.
One thing that I considered, which I think I mentioned before in a post, was regarding when I was a christian. I would quote it here but this is long enough as it is, and that quote is not short either, so instead -

It was an interesting read. Thank you for sharing.
