Does it need interpretation? *Edit: this isn't exactly an interpretation but I think when you see on a very small percentage of the population is transgendered and makes the fact that people freak out over it seem ridiculous.

Because it challenges the patriarchy. No one cares if a girl wears boy clothes. But as soon as a boy puts on a dress people lose their minds.
-
I think the short answer to the question as to why people get bent out of shape over gender is due to attachment to Identity. It's one of the three types of attachment that the Buddha spoke about.

As I drive around I wonder how many people are as worried as I am? But I also think how many people have no idea what I'm going through

I had actually let go of that though meditation before I transitioned.

My take is based on the data which that article provides.

Did you read the article that I posted earlier?

In addition to all of the other implications of this election I think one of the hardest things has been processing that people who you thought had your back and your best interest at heart indeed do not. I wonder what they're going to tell their grandchildren someday when their grandkids ask why the trans people got wiped out they say well you see honey the price of eggs was a little high.

I was just chatting online with someone yesterday from Australia and he told me the same thing. This is really good and easily information to know. Thank you very much! 😊

I feel Yin/Yang to be useful for describing feminine and masculine. I find the symbol to be useful as well since it usually shows a dot of the opposite within each half. Yang is obvious, Yin is subtle. Yang is aggressive, Yin is passive. Yang is masculine, Yin is feminine. Yang is advancing, Yin is yielding. Yang is fast, Yin is patient. Yang is rigid, Yin is soft.

Why do you think it's egotistical to be happy?

That's great, a wonderful thing to do actually, but that's by definition not a martial art. -
For the record I don't consider myself spiritual because I don't even know what that means. I'm more of a pragmatist.

Aside from some of the good points that have already been mentioned. Human beings have been cooking long enough that it is part of our evolution now and this is why we can't get away with eating raw food in the same way that animals do. Our digestive systems have literally evolved to "pre-digesting" our food before eating it.

I'll have to look that up and get back with you. I have read so many sutas they all start to become a blur after a while lol. But in general in a lot of suitas were the Buddha is talking about non-self this is the context in which he's talking about it.
