I value the constructions of human as the crystallized essence of their inner meaning, the visible residue of the invisible contents of their heart. Symbols are key not because of the symbols themselves but because of what they mean. I have heard people claim that gender is an oppressive system designed only to harm. I don't believe that. Gender, in some form or other, is present in every human culture, a language that enables division of roles and aspects.
Gender allows expression of the soul, allows connection of diverse hearts.
I have written about this before. I like gender. I like it a great deal. I like the concepts of masculine and feminine. I don't like polemics disguised as theory that don't take the time to look at the benefits of having a rich system of gender that communicates and enforces cultural roles.
