Do you believe in the soul or spirit? If you do, then it's not so far fetched that someone's body could be male, but their soul or spirit is that of a female or more female than male oriented. That could explain homosexuality AND gender dysphoria.
Of course the medical community only looks at the outside physical manifestation, so it is natural that people who don't believe in anything beyond would think that it is just unnatural or wrong to be a certain way. |
No wonder you were embarrassed about trying to explain wacky wiccanism!

Or you might just have an attraction to women. Or if they have been about even you might be bisexual. Makes sense to me, but I'm sure you'll just call it wacky. |

Even if we are reincarnated we cannot remember anything from our previous existencies.
And even if we could why would that influence our sexuality in this lifetime??
You guys make up crap to try and justify anything!!

You guys make up crap to try and justify anything!! | Because we all have a "higher self" that DOES remember all of our lives and influences, at the very least, what we do in our current one.
Oh, and homosexuality requires no justification. |

Is that the same "higher self" that forgets to pay the ER bill?

So yes, your higher self is concerned of how you act in one life, in order to determine where you proceed in the next. It is through perfect living, that one's higher self progresses to it's highest point...That of not re-incarnating again because it's reached 'perfection of spirit'. |

How convenient.
But how does that "jive" with the wiccan creed about not harming others?

Besides, how did this topic and two others become about why I don't pay a medical bill? I'm done talking about that. |
