Yes it's much clearer this way and I do agree with you. I like your analogy to male and female polarities. This opens the door for a better understanding of the other type of polarities. Since you seem interested about what Ra said on the concept of polarities in general, I will share my personal understanding of it in relation to male and female.
It is true that our current octave as a whole has been designed with polarity in mind and the path back to the Creator being the uniting of all these polarities. But what I was referring to in my previous post is that according to Ra, STS was never planned for. It was a big surprise. It's not part of the design of this octave of experience.
The difference with male and female is substantial. According to Ra, male and female are actually harvested concepts from the previous octave, as is positive and negative, and are central to our current octave. STS was never even thought of as a possibility before it was actually experienced and could never ever have been experienced without the introduction of the veil in 3rd density. The veil being the illusion of separation. Without the veil all is aware that all is One. All is aware of their connection. The veil is relatively "recent".
It is also true that talking of STO without STS can be meaningless. For me, what I call the STO path includes the path that was available before STS became a reality and the path that continues after we have unified these polarities.
Without this I would, like you, say that a 4th choice is indeed available.
In these quotes we can see that Ra says that before the veil there was no STO and no STS, but in some of these quotes Ra also use the terminology STO to refer to what there was before the veil.
It's certainly a very vast subject.

Quote:78.10 Questioner: I realize that we are on very difficult ground, you might say, for precise terminology. It is totally displaced from our system of coordinates for evaluation in our present system of language.
These early Logoi that formed in the center of the galaxy wished, I assume, to create a system of experience for the One Creator. Did they then start with no previous experience or information about how to do this? This is difficult to ask.
Ra: I am Ra. At the beginning of this creation or, as you may call it, octave there were those things known which were the harvest of the preceding octave. About the preceding creation we know as little as we do of the octave to come. However, we are aware of those pieces of gathered concept which were the tools which the Creator had in the knowing of the self.
These tools were of two kinds. Firstly, there was an awareness of the efficiency for experience of mind, body, and spirit. Secondly, there was an awareness of the most efficacious nature or, if you will, significator of mind, body, and spirit. Thirdly, there was the awareness of two aspects of mind, of body, and of spirit that the significator could use to balance all catalyst. You may call these two the matrix and the potentiator.
78.13 Questioner: Then we have, at the beginning of this galactic evolution, an archetypical mind that is the product of the previous octave which this galaxy then uses and acts upon under the first distortion of free will to evolve the total experience of this galaxy. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is quite correct.
78.14 Questioner: But, in doing this, there was at the center of the galaxy, the lack of knowledge or the lack of concept of possiblity of extending the first distortion, so as to allow for what we have experienced as polarity. Was there any concept of polarity carried through from the previous octave in the sense of service-to-others or service-to-self polarity?
Ra: I am Ra. There was polarity in the sense of the mover and the moved. There was no polarity in the sense of service to self and service to others.
77.19 Questioner: Do the Logoi that choose this type of evolution choose both the service-to-self and the service-to-others path for different Logoi, or do they choose just one of the paths?
Ra: I am Ra. Those, what you would call, early Logoi which chose lack-of-free-will foundations, to all extents with no exceptions, founded Logoi of the service-to-others path. The, shall we say, saga of polarity, its consequences and limits, were unimagined until experienced.
77.20 Questioner: In other words you are saying that originally the Logoi that did not choose this free will path did not choose it simply because they had not conceived of it and that later Logoi, extending the first distortion farther down through their evolution, experienced it as an outcropping or growth from that extension of the first distortion. Am I correct in saying that?
Ra: I am Ra. Yes.
