Being Male, Being Female, Being Both: Debunking Stereotypes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781725105812)

SO GENDERED IS OUR WORLD THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO NOT DO GENDER. This is the story of gender non-conformity.Your choice of behavior is the story of how your identity influences your psychological makeup, in good ways and bad. This book is an account of how you can better yourself through an awareness of the new-age philosophy of behavioral diversity, aka, psychological androgyny. This new-age identity recognizes that no matter how we identify, we are all different, yet we are also the same in many ways. Being psychologically androgynous is a way to remove the censorship imposed on many behaviors and a way to defeat culturally imposed hierarchies.IN THOSE WHO ACCOMPLISH MUCH, THE FEMININE AND MASCULINE PRINCIPLES ARE MIXED. As a Registered Nurse and Research Psychologist, I have crossed the paths of innumerable people. My experience and research resonated with my post-graduate studies that there are many individuals who do not have conventional identities, nor do they follow cultural stereotypes. Further, those who know why they are who they are, are better able to accept themselves and others, and so cope better and get on with life. DISCOVER 1.What accounts for the assignment of behavior not related to differences in sex, gender, or sexuality?2.The provocative androgynous thinking of many early authors and how they relate to a modern interpretation parallel with our many varied identities.3.A renaissance - a rebirth, a new start, a fresh approach, more interest and passion, an ability to take joy from life's simple pleasures. Being androgynous allows you the possibility of doubling your life experiences and pleasures. How do you become androgynous?4.How the androgynous person can be more accomplished at achieving their overall life goals, whatever they are,5.How it is societies that situate men and women differently, not their biology.6.How the adoption of an androgynous life will change your thinking forever.7.How the androgyne, (a person who is psychologically androgynous), is one who has long been the mythic symbol of wisdom and self-sufficiency - a figure whose in between status inspires fascination, reverence, and sometimes, even dread.This book promises to enlighten you about your identity in ways that will make your life more extraordinary through an awareness of why you are who you are and what else you can be. While it is not a book about career choice, making money, or specifically of relationship or religious advice, it is about you yourself in the context of all your relationships.A grand-theory of how to be your ideal-self in order to gain the best out of your life requires an open mind [i.e., an androgynous one]. Indeed, we could consider that the best aphrodisiac is '...an open mind'. People with an androgynous awareness are intuitively more content, intriguing, more socially attractive, bolder, braver, more creative, and more adaptive in life.
