The
Transcendentalists
~
GenderEvolve
can be
compared to
the Transcendentalists
(tran·scen·den·tal·ists),
a
progressive
literary
group in the
1800's whose
influential
writings
during the
period
1840-44 led
to
emancipation
of the
slaves and
achievement
of
significant
rights for
women.
Similarly,
160+ years
later, we at
GenderEvolve
are writing
collaboratively
with the
goal of
influencing
the social
emancipation
of
Transgendered
people, and
achievement
of true
equality for
all feminine
beings.

Balancing Male and Female Energies ~
The following article, "Balancing Male and Female Energies", is
excerpted from meta-religion.com, a popular New Age source. It provides a powerful framework for harmonization of our inner male and female selves through meditation and creative visualization..

For the Love of Dressing ~
Upon close introspection, I realize my passion for feminine dressing was a large factor that first drew me to the transgender community. Interacting with you allows me to refocus my energy less on my own dressing and onto yours. We have this common ground, and it's so comforting to me. With my love of feminine dressing, I know that if I'd have been born male I would be a (cross)dresser.

11:11 on 11/11 of 11 ~
At this
precious
moment of
11:11 on
11/11 of 11,
the light in
me salutes
the light in
you, the
beautiful
transgendered
Ones. Know
that you are
in the right
place, at
the right
time. When
you see
11:11, be
reminded
that human
evolution is
quickening,
and you are
forerunners
on this
path. The
time for
balancing
gender
duality is
NOW.
Transgendered
people are
moving in an
evolutionary
direction.

Our Family Bond ~
Over the past several months since starting GenderEvolve we have bonded as sisters. We share kinship, trust and willingness to share in one another's personal journeys. Through our exchange of thoughts and experiences, light is being shed where there was none before. We are collectively finding the words to define ourselves, our identities and our values. Through this unification of purpose and collective vision, we are working toward common goals.

The Venus Transit Gift ~
Last night I had an epiphany. I now understand "why". I will show you what I discovered, but first I must give you some background on where I am coming from in a spiritual sense.
I have always been a deeply spiritual person, never in the organized religion realm, but just in always "knowing" we are all here for a grand and magnificent purpose.

Yin-Yang GenderEvolution ~
(Co-authored with Felicia Conti)... Combining a balanced mix of Yin and Yang lends to a more comprehensive perspective. The ability to understand and experience the range of gender leads to wholeness and completion. By functioning through the beautiful range in-between the genders we can build strengths within both feminine and masculine energies.

The Calling ~
My recent introduction to the transgender community has sparked some truly amazing feelings in me. I am a passionate person in general, but no single other thing in my life experience has ever grabbed my attention with such undeniable magnetism, such pure force, that it feels almost divinely inspired. I am compelled to make a positive contribution to the transgender cause, though I can not explain why I feel so strongly inclined. I can only try to tell you what is motivating me.

I Am Finally Home ~
What I feel as a bisexual woman with a transwoman is a sense of balance, wholeness, understanding, peace. The spectrum of the gender rainbow is complete, the void in my heart is gone. I no longer have to make the impossible choice between men and women. My conflict is resolved. Now that I know such an option exists for someone like me, I could never go back to regular men or women.

CD/TV/TS
Labelling ~
There seems to be some controversy in the transgender community as to the usage and meaning of labels such as CD/TV/TS. I'm unsure how this labelling is beneficial, but I've seen many instances where it divides people and puts the community at odds with itself.

Am I Transgendered? ~
I recently commented that Iv'e always felt like a man "trapped" in a woman's body, and received several responses questioning whether I am identifying myself as transgendered by making this statement. I say "trapped" with tongue in cheek, because I would never want it any other way.

Pondering Men's Liberation ~
I am only coming to realize the pain and guilt that so many endure for a simple pleasure like crossdressing. I am confounded by it, actually... how could something so harmless and healthy as a man wanting to express femininity be deemed so wrong by society?
