So what is the Duality nature of Male? Female? Seems pretty straight forward right?
Well another possible duality of Male could be a Gay Male, and duality of Female could be a lesbian. But are people really homosexual or are they just misguided individuals? Are people homosexual at birth? Or do they become homosexual throughout their early childhood or adolescence?
Or is there one more duality to consider that I heard about for the first time a few months ago called Intersex. In order to discuss the duality of Sex from this perspective, I think it is important however to bring in an important belief system about the nature of homosexuality.
Christians are taught to be tolerant of homosexuality inerestinly however, most young males actually become homophobic whether religious or not. An additional Christian perspective on this comes from the bible and is quoted: "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination" (Leviticus 18:22). "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them" (Leviticus 20:13). In these passages homosexuality is condemned as a prime example of sin, a sexual perversion. The Christian can neither alter God's viewpoint nor depart from it.
Intersex:
Overview from Google health:
Intersex is a group of conditions where there is a discrepancy between the external genitals and the internal genitals (the testes and ovaries).
The older term for this condition, hermaphroditism, came from joining the names of a Greek god and goddess, Hermes and Aphrodite. Hermes was a god of male sexuality (among other things) and Aphrodite a goddess of female sexuality, love, and beauty.
Some Symptoms
The symptoms associated with intersex will depend on the underlying cause, but may include:
• Ambiguous genitalia at birth
• Micropenis
• Clitoromegaly (an enlarged clitoris)
• Partial labial fusion
• Apparently undescended testes (which may turn out to be ovaries)
in boys
• Labial or inguinal (groin) masses -- which may turn out to be
testes -- in girls
• Hypospadias (the opening of the penis is somewhere other than at
the tip; in females, the urethra [urine canal] opens into the
vagina)
• Otherwise unusual appearing genitalia at birth
• Electrolyte abnormalities
• Delayed or absent puberty
• Unexpected changes at puberty
The first most interesting thing from the documentary was that intersex is said to be as common as being a redhead. The second most interesting thing about the documentary I watched is that until recently most parents were not usually even told about this and doctors made a decision based on a few things to decide the sex of the child and perform a procedure to focus on the more dominant sexual features. Lately it is believed that parents are more regularly consulted on this and it is the parent’s choice to determine what sex the child should be. But even with the consultation the parents are encouraged to raise the child without the child’s knowledge of being born intersex.
So at this point duality brings me to a few points to ponder:
Could 1% or more of all homosexuals been born intersex?
Ok this maybe possible, but then why of that 1% or more wouldn’t even some of them blame their homosexuality on being intersex?
Did their parents know their little girl was intersex. Did that parent want so much to have that little girl in a family of 3 boys? Would the parent accepts this girl’s homosexuality with open loving arms and keep quiet to the intersex operation? Who would this harm as long as their loved one is now happy and dealing with, and in a loving relationship of their own?
How many people are bi-sexual or even bi-curious? I did a search and did not spend too much time on this but I found some say there is no statistics on percent of population who are bi-sexual and found one site say the percent was 1.8%.
Why haven’t this 1.8% blamed their bi-sexuality on intersex? I have other points to eventually bring up and ponder upon, such as the effects of certain chemical that may be feminizing our boys and vice versa. What happens when these boys or girls have kids?
Even more important although some may disagree, is, what if this knowledge of intersex was more mainstream. The biggest impact I see would be on the church.
Might it give someone the opportunity at the pearly gates to file a lawsuit about their doctor already in heaven that chose the wrong sex for them or even was persuaded to choose the wrong sex for them.
Just one more think that duality has thrown at us to make us think. Unless that is you choose the duality of not thinking for yourself and follow group think instead.
And finally maybe intersex doesn't even exist at all.

Free Power eventually? II
February 24th I posted about the Bloom Box. Whenever I see something that may bring duality back into the discussion I like to post it.
Although not a major duality issue the article claims the Bloom Box not so special. Click below for full article.
And the device's supposedly unique "fuel-switching" ability? Not unique at all, Jaffe claimed on his Energy Insight blog, in a post titled "Four Things Bloom Energy Forgot to Tell the World":
