Sex and gender being different things is just not that hard a concept.

zakalwe defending himself against accusations of transgender ignorance: I didn't tell him he was
wrong?



zakalwes previous post on transgender: You are not a woman. You are not a woman. You are not a
woman. You are not a woman. You are not a woman.

Yeah there's so much righteousness and broad mindlessness knocking about as well that there's still no direct answer. Pardon me for being inquisitive as I can honestly say I haven't the first idea what it's about. That's not 'wilful' ignorance that's just not having opportunity to understand and gain knowledge from those who have experience.

Actually, you weren't so much inquiring as you were making bold, presumptuous statements (ie: Your not a woman. You are a bloke who has had his penis inverted and harbours feelings without any experience to base those feelings on.") I mean I suppose you do ask questions, but then you answer them yourself. HAD you inquired, I'm sure people would be far more receptive to discussing it with you, but instead you show an intensely ignorant bias.



You're approaching the topic as what it means to be a woman biologically as opposed to what it means psychologically. Take some online gender studies courses

Also, just because you prefaced your comment with 'I apologize if this comes across as ignorant" doesn't mean you're allowed to be absolved of guilt for making presumptions

I had a feeling the cover art would receive some attention and spur on some kind of transgender argument.



Anywho, back to the music. I checked out their first two albums and, while good, this absolutely crushes them

I've had a look. Again fascinating.
I look in the mirror and I see me in a 'mans' body but I have no identifiable connection as such to that body. I have no thought process that question my bodily characteristics.
If I looked at me and thought 'I'm in the wrong body here' would I go out of my way to change my outward appearance? Would it make me feel better to 'look' the opposite sex if I was miserable?

Back to the covers, the second one really is distasteful.

Dat moment when people complain that a provocative work of art provokes reactions in people (almost as if that was the intention).

Nah, it as directed at those who keep questioning the direction this thread took.



"Three Crosses" sneaks up on me every time.

Possession Prayer is terrifying when stoned. The subtle electronics make the atmosphere really sinister

The cover artwork represents a physical embodiment of the concept of god--as both mother AND father
of mankind and the universe, it is both male and female. Disgusted with the crimes of mankind, and
consumed by grief, God sews a death mask to his own flesh--so that in death She might finally be
able to separate Herself from an association with Her vile creation. By changing His face, God
allows Herself to wash His hands of all the sins accumulated by mankind. From Her own flesh, God
fashions a noose, by which to end His existence on Her own terms.

There. Controversy averted.


PS any physical depiction of god needs to be a hermaphrodite bc god must have the seed from which to
create man, a womb from which the creation may be born, and teets from which it might be nourished
and allowed to grow.

You could look at the album art as possibly being similar to the beginning of E. Elias Merhige's
Begotten.
