I love this so much. Yes 1000%.
I still deeply believe that every BODY, regardless of biological presentation, has a capacity for masculine (giving) and feminine (receiving) energy.
It’s a presentation, it’s a mindset, and it’s a facet of a society that actually allows people to be themselves. We are all wierd AF trying to pretend this is ‘normal’.
Hetero-monogamous marriage? It’s not to “protect the family” it’s to abuse and entrap women, and allow the church to shame and regulate where how and with whom we share our love and affection.
Past lives? Yes, we are all here to heal, rebuild or continue a life path beyond just this one. I firmly believe that. I know in my own family line, there was a history of persecuted and therefore repressed sexual lifestyles. This led to many generations of depressed and abusive men down the line. I have been sorting this “genetic” depression out to be a lot of hidden lives lived and kept secret.
Pagan Greeks worshipped the Eros, and did not discriminate (to my understanding) much whether beauty was attributed to the male or female form. Pagan Rome probably did much the same. I am of Italian heritage, there are stories in there…
Catholics came along and took hold of the root of power by stealing it from the people; our free ability to love and seek pleasure.
There’s so much more there. Thanks @RedTailHawk for your always thorough and brilliant thoughts. 🙌🏼🙏

I'm glad you mentioned Eros in this message because that word is itself derived from one Greek iteration of Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine symbolism.
Chi and Rho, respectively, represent the Divine Masculine and the Divine Feminine, just like Alpha and Omega, Aleph and Teth, Alif and Ba, Ka and Ba, Damballa and Ayida Weddo, Yang and Yin, and others.
The Divine Masculine is, in my understanding, the set of Divine traits that are penetrative, i.e. Wisdom penetrates foolishness, Power penetrates resistance, Victory penetrates thresholds.
The Divine Feminine is, accordingly, the set of Divine traits that are receptive, i.e. Understanding is about intake of information, Mercy is about accepting what has already occurred, Glory is taken in.
Chi plus Rho gets you a number of important Greek words including Hero, Hera, Heracles, Eros, Chiron, Hierophant, and more. With Hierophant, we might think of Hieroglyphs which puts us into an Egyptian thought mode where we immediately find Chi and Rho in the name of one of the most important cities in Egypt: Cairo.
I talked about this stuff in my most recent, yet to be published episode with Princey on Once Bitten. It was all about ancient Egypt and Greece and trying to decode religions and myths.
