As goes with smoking laws in the US, for the comfort of others. We have names like groom and bride, it doesn't seem such a huge task to devise new terminology, even etymologically, to produce gender neutral words for those people who desire them. Just because a language of a species might lack, say, the word Jolly, that doesn't mean it can't be made.
Our species' language is partly archaic, we have not evolved it to match our evolution. Hell, lol is an actual word now.
I'm sure we can find a decent word that'll emerge from slang one day.
I don't see how that is catering to people's comforts rather than an inevitable evolution.
I've personally not subscribed in Ra's explanation of homosexuality, its cause is more than just why they gave. Further it would seem this is one instance where Ra's words don't echo as truth across the spectrum.
Otherwise animals wouldn't be homosexual, they're not close enough in large enough clumps to infringe the way humans are setup.
And what's more we know so little about higher dimensional sexuality, for all we know, male and female pairing is only required in the physical chemical bodies for means of species procreation or self sustained collectively. What if in 4D a man and woman aren't needed to produce offspring? What does that allow to be expressed in sexuality besides a will to survive?
I say let emerging cultures have their freedom of expression.
This is not an instance overstated in my opinion. Worldwide this is occurring, people are beginning to realize they are unhappy with their sexual identities.
I do think on the transgender front a correlation of porn consumption in men point out the larger group of MtF transgendered people, and the smaller FtM group in contrast.
On the naming front everything from demi to pan to asexual exist now, the precursor to exploration, naming out that which is to be discovered.
It seems like asking others to 'take a break' from that is hypocritical in that it sounds like you are the one who wants a break for your own comfort at the cost of the comfort being sought out by those exploring the out of the box boundaries of sexuality.
I don't see these people doing anything criminal, malicious, or cruel to others (like some religious groups), why must they sit by and wait so that others can be comfortable? Does their comfort not matter too?
I can't say there's much more of a response from me other than to let people explore their humanity.
What we call the result of aura infringement, Christians used to call blasphemy and a terrible sin.
We should be careful not to cross that thin line of judgment to condemnation or censorship.
We should let people freely and safely explore themselves, regardless of whether we are comfortable with it or not. Some exceptions apply, we don't want people hurting themselves or others (beyond the typical catalyst) to discover such things.
But we also shouldn't make it that much harder for them to explore.
Know thyself. What if you're just a gay spirit? Did you get aura infringed so hard the afterlife you changed as well?
Is it really so hard to accept something like homosexuality, transgenderism, and asexuality as intentional parts of evolution just because Godly Alien Ra's divine teachings don't add up to that conclusion?
While I don't think there are gay spirits, just spirits living out a storey, the rest resonates.
Seems pretty obvious to me that the change in sexual focus and gender is just now we are freeing ourselves to explore this part of creation. We have been programmed for innies to be one way outies another for a long time and well now we can explore contrast to those firm roles and then hopefully freedom from any of that stuff mattering.
Also I don't think Ra's explanation is necessarily wrong but I doubt he expanded on all the reasons for this shift happening. At the time it was class-able as a dysfunction but all "mutations" from the norm are basically dysfunctions. That doesn't preclude them from leading down a path purposefully chosen by the creator, nor them being a strength or improvement.
