It exists for no other purpose than to be an effective container.
While that statement is annoyingly self-evident to most, it can suggest a more elusive and yet substantive reality – or perhaps an underlying meta-reality. What do we intrinsically value about being human? Surely, we can conceive of a deeper reality? Moreover, if we can, do we by extension then regard the categorization of the fleshly container as “male” or “female”. Are these then mere distractions of the superficial mind?. The etiology of transgenderism (and it’s effective “treatment”) suggests that, if the container is indeed malleable, than a gender binary based upon the most superficial of externalities is worse than pointless, it is inherently false.
‘Gender’ does not exist in the flesh – it never did.
Perhaps, as Eve Ensler has previously suggested, one day we humans will “see and interact with one another as fluid . . .like water”
