Nowadays it is almost impossible to keep up with the manifold voices of LBGQ (etc) discourse. In an attempt to gain some enlightenment about these matters, three years ago I was looking into some of the writings of Karen Horney, Bracha Ettinger, Martha Nussbaum and Judith Butler. I felt that the venerable Karen Horney gave the clearest and most plausible account of human psychology, though she left out of consideration the superconscious. The others, however, each in their own way, provided fascinating perspectives into contemporary feminist-gender matters from the point of view of the female of the species.
I also looked into Freud, Jung, and Sangharakshita during this reading spree. To my surprise, in none of these authors with the exception of Sangharakshita was there mention of spiritual androgyny.
It was as if contemporary writers had completely forgotten the psycho-spiritual possibilities and advantages of androgyny, considering instead chemical and surgical means of adjustment with all its dangers and complexities rather than working with one's mind towards a comfortable accommodation to the body with which one had been born. What a pity!
