I'm interested in reading more about the transvestite theatre, because you mention it in several of your posts, and it seems to provide an important part of your musings about the origins of hermaphrodites.<br /><br />A question I have is related to your initial question: "Is there is a basic humanistic way with which to view the world?", a way to "see someone from a blank slate." Your answer is yes...and that you can "pose as a your opposite sex online". But is this an argument for artifice, for fiction, for "posing," when it seems that you really wanted to find something natural, organic, and pure? <br /><br />It would be interesting to see your distinctions between "pretending" and "being" on the internet, and how each of those states contributes to a more "humanistic view" of an individual. Perhaps "pretending" or "posing" allows one to internalize some of the artificially worn aspects?neal callhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17285975416175230777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439120801579614446.post-62350068172004901072010-06-04T09:11:16.787-07:002010-06-04T09:11:16.787-07:001. Love the opening, that draws readers in.
2. Wh...1. Love the opening, that draws readers in. <br />2. When you say "in fact, if you blog, have a facebook account, or an online avatar of any sort you might be one of them!", you are also drawing in your reader.<br />3. I like how you are separating the hermaphroditic figure with the hermaphrodite because they indeed are two separate things.<br />4. Something else I just realized, you know when we fill out paperwork and they always ask are you "male, female, choose not to answer"...why do they put the "choose not to answer" option? Hermaphroditic figure? <br />5. Nice work Becca!audrey elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16615125042872157984noreply@blogger.com
