Are we all the same?

Navigating Gender Fluidity in a Postmodern World: Balancing Uniqueness and Biological Reality


We are evolving into a society where clear gender distinctions seem to be fading. Who am I? A "her," a "he," a "they," a "them," nothing, or perhaps all at once? It appears we can now choose freely who and what we want to be, switching our gender based on the desires of our ego. I believe this brings a tremendous amount of challenges.




We live in to postmodern world, in which, saying in an exaggerated way, everything is equal. There‘s no sex, no better or worse and all is accepted. Theoretically that sounds beautiful, but very dangerous at the same time. Especially because it’s very confusing and harmful for our mental health. In my opinion it’s more important to accept differentiations rather to dissolve them. Even the simple fact of saying „there are no defined genders“ and „there a defined genders“ brings a differentiation, which is a performative paradox in itself.  


And yes I think on the level of our Soul we are all the same. The Soul transcends physical characteristics, including gender. Our Soul is reflecting a more universal, formless and non-dual essence. Some might have a little more karma than others, but that‘s another topic. But on the level of our cover, the human body there are clear differences between a man and a woman. Our biology, psyche, physiology, hormones etc. do work different. I believe it's important to appreciate the differences while still honoring each individual's uniqueness. This doesn’t exclude that we all have feminine and masculine poles within us. You can also call those poles yin and yang, being and doing or moon and sun. I believe our task is to balance these opposing forces within our individual uniqueness in order to stay healthy, while accepting our biological form.


The whole gender movement brings positive and negative aspects with it and it‘s important to discuss them all. 


As positive I see for sure that we should break out of social stereotypes like a woman has to stay at home and is the one wearing make up, men have to work like crazy and have short hair or girls wear pink while boys wear blue. But we still stay in a female or a male organism just acting different and shift our perspectives. 

I think that confusion and an increase of mental illnesses are the negative part of this whole movement. So many teenager don’t know what they are or want to get surgery before they are 18 years old, suffer from depression, dissociation and anxiety. Wouldn’t it be more helpful to bring them more into their amazing bodies and help them learn loving and caring for themself as mother-nature made them? 


I love being a woman, while still having a very masculine drive. 


What do you think about it?
