Sex Transmutation * Was Lynn Conway Doomed To Succeed ? *

SEX TRANSMUTATION * WAS LYNN CONWAY DOOMED TO SUCCEED ? *

The following texts by Lynn Conway and Napolean Hill outline one of *Mother Nature's* *Keys to Success*. I believe Lynn Conway was no more "Doomed To Succeed" than any "Ordinary" CD/TG is "Doomed to A Life of Isolation and Misery"

If anything, a CD/TG person, with an "Androgynous" sexual nature (OmniGender - Green), has at least *Equal* if not *Greater Opportunity* for life *Success* than persons with singularly Male (Blue) or Female (Red) nature

It is my contention that Lynn Conway, against insurmountable odds, exercised her "Will Power" to transmute her "Natural" and "Irresistible" Sexual Energy into Physical, Mental and Spiritual equivalents enabling full exploitation of her special *Gifts* for Mathematics and Scientific Inquiry. Her ultimate reward was successful M>F transition and even higher levels of human achievement

Lynn Conway's Retrospective
PART IV: ON TO SUCCESS


" - - looking back on these years, I see now that I benefited tremendously from my earlier experiences in climbing, in my transition, and in generally doing many things that had to be done even though I was very frightened at the time - - those daring adventures in the past seemed to provide me with almost magical powers during the peak VLSI years - - I was able to just go do stuff that almost no one else would have had the nerve to do - -
 
- - - but something else had happened by then too - - it was now some years since my second pubertal passage, and I'd been in the new female social, emotional, physical and hormonal regime for quite a while now - - I began to sense that my mental powers had greatly expanded in important new dimensions - - it's hard to put a finger on it, but I was just ever so much more imaginative and creative than before transition - - especially noticing that I had vastly improved capabilities at visualizing and mentally simulating complex social interactions - - "

THINK & GROW RICH
Napolean Hill

"TRANSMUTE - the changing or transferring of one element, or form of energy, into another ...

The emotion of sex has back of it the possibility of three constructive potentialities

They are
1) The perpetuation of mankind
2) The maintenance of health
3) The transformation of medocrity into genius through transmutation

Sex transmutation is simple and easily explained. It means the switching of the mind from thoughts of physical expression, to thoughts of some other nature

Sex desire is the most powerful of human desires. When driven by this desire, men develop keenness of imagination, courage, willpower, persistence, and creative ability unknown to them at any other times

So strong and impelling is the desire for sexual contact that men freely run the risk of life and reputation to indulge in it

When harnessed, and redirected along other lines, this motivating force maintains all of its attributes of keenness of imagination, courage etc., which may be used as powerful creative forces in literature, art, or in any other profession or calling ...

The *Transmutation* of *Sex* *Energy* calls for the *Exercise* of *Will* *Power*, to be sure, but the reward is worth the effort. The *Desire* for *Sexual* *Expression* is *Inborn* and *Natural*. The desire cannot, and should not be submerged or eliminated. But it should be given an outlet through forms of expression which ENRICH the BODY, MIND, and SPIRIT of man [(Ed note ... Blue, Red, Green)]

If not given this form of outlet, through transmutation, it will seek outlets through purely physical channels

A river may be damned, and its water controlled for a time, but eventually, it will force an outlet. The same is true of the emotion of sex. It may be submerged and controlled for a time, but its very nature causes it to be ever seeking means of expression

If it is not transmuted into some creative effort it will find a less worthy outlet ...

The emotion of sex is an "irresistable force", against which there can be no such opposition as an "immovable body". When driven by this emotion, men become gifted with a super power for action

Understand this truth, and you will catch the significance of the statement that sex transmutation contains the secret of creative ability ... "

Hi Marda,

Thank you for providing this additional food for thought. This is what I enjoy most about being on this forum. I like it when posters post view points from other people, It helps me understand things from a wider perspective.

A person with whom I communicate regularly, is involved in the same kind of thinking, and she has had some remarkable success, and I am watching with interest.

Some thoughts I have about it are, is what do we view as success? Success for me is not the kind of success my friend is after.

While will power is definitely an important ingredient, I believe there are things that influence, and even direct will power.

About eight years ago I lost all my will power to achieve the goals I had been chasing after, and it was at that point that I returned to the activity of cross-dressing.

It is my contention that the former (Goals etc.) have to first die before one will be able to take charge of their destiny and transition, and therefore it involves more than will power.

Therefore I believe one has to walk there own walk, and by doing that some goals will have to die, while they will succeed at others. I believe that we will not all succeed at the same goals.

It is my hope that each of us will succeed at the goals that will allow us to be content in this life. After all is that not what each of really wants?

[Marda]

Hi Darlene

*Great* points

Toward the end of your comments ... do I "hear" you saying something about "shedding" excess "baggage" before getting "airborn" ?

And can I think I "hear" you saying something about clearing up one's "vision" of who one is before ?

You know this reminds me of the *BumbleBee* ... according to all the laws of aerodynamics, that little critter ain't supposed to be flying

BTW Darlene ... you've been around this *Powder Room* for a while ... do you think I'm being a bit *hard* on our team with this kind of *IYF* brainstorming ?

Hi Marda,

Toward the end of your comments ... do I "hear" you saying something about "shedding" excess "baggage" before getting "airborn" ?

I think that is probably another way of saying the same thing.

And can I think I "hear" you saying something about clearing up one's "vision" of who one is before ?

I also believe that happens as a result of the process.

BTW Darlene ... you've been around this *Powder Room* for a while ... do you think I'm being a bit *hard* on our team with this kind of *IYF* brainstorming ?

This is probably the toughest question that will ever be put to me here., but I accept it and will answer it as best I can.

I don't think it has anything to do with being to hard on people. It probably has more to do with where they are. If you are viewed as trying to change them, they will burn rubber getting away from that. In other words if you have come here with an agenda you will likely run into trouble.

For some people their security is dependent on how well they are received by others, and will attempt to use that as a tool to manipulate others to act in ways that will enable them to feel good about themselves.

One thing that has been revealed to me as a result of the thread that has been locked, is that there are people here who have a lot to contribute to the life on this forum, who feel threatened by what some people believe, as though that in some way will harm them.

I do not understand the need to burn rubber, I do not understand why it can not simply be taken as another opinion, which by the way every body has at least one, and they all are some what different from each other.

The need to burn rubber is obviously a defense mechanism, against what I don't know. It is the opposite of acceptance.

One thing I have learned is that help some times comes in surprise packages, even ugly ones. I have been helped by people with whom I have had to create some closet space, although they certainly are not aware of it.

I have probably gone farther here than I have needed to. I hope it is helpful.

Hi Darlene

Thank you so much for "sticking your neck out" here to help me understand some things about the "Pecking Order" in this "Hen_House"
(my words ladies ... in the Spirit of David Letterman ... "It's a Joke!"

You can *Bet* your "Vanity Fairs" I *Have* an *Agenda*

Having been around the block a *Few* times ... and having been beaten to smithereens *Many* times ... and having stared into the eyes of eternal *Darkness* ... and having escaped from the *Jaws of Death* at least once ... all for just trying to be myself

I made a committment to someone who helped me once when I *Really* needed help ... that I would *Pass It On*

If I know of some *Potholes* and *Speedbumps* on the *Road to Paradise* ... and if I see someone headed for a rough ride ... I reckon I have an obligation to *Shine My Light* on their pathway ... *Just To Make Sure* they *Have A CHANCE To Take a Small Detour ... IF THEY WANT TO*

But ... *Far Be It From Me* to *Attempt* to *Change* anybody's *Entitlement* to *Make Their Own Choices* and *Follow Their Own Chosen Paths* to *Wherever They Choose To Go* etc

Having been a funeral director, I understand *Very Well* that everybody has the *Rights To Live, Die and Be Burned or Buried With Their Beliefs, and To Remain Silent Forever*

That Is *It* My Dears ... My Agenda

So ... when I see one of my friends, brothers or sisters writhing in agony ... cursing the day they were born ... I *Know* in my Heart that I offered my humble and only *Best* and that they are merely exercising *Their Right To Suffer* ...

In my *Heart* and before *My Maker* ... I can *Sleep Like a Beautiful Baby Girl*

My Dears ... this *Is My LOVE For You* ... *No Charge*

[[ The Tao is like the bending of a bow. The top is bent downward, the bottom is bent up. It adjusts excess and deficiency so that there is perfect balance. It takes from what is too much and gives to what isn't enough.]]

For me, my greatest success has been finding balance in my life, which then brought harmony. There was a time in my life when everything I thought or did was wrong or unacceptable, my thoughts of 'self' didn't align with the social reality around it, thus the range of expression was quite ineffectual. Whatever degree of will power I exerted to try and 'fit' was never enough to defeat the natural course of events.

I would certainly agree that everyone has to walk their own individual walk, if they don't then there is little chance they will ever find balance in their life, balance brings harmony, well it has in my life.

Balance means there are things one may have to give up, such as patterns of thought and behaviour. Sometimes what has to be has to be, I found that altough changing my thought patterns, behaviour and breaking old habits resulted in some social ramifications, those changes brought balance and harmony into my life. There exists inside us all, that urge of our basic right to live and exist in this world as our true self, if we can successfully achieve this then we become at ease with ourself which in turn then means all that energy we used up in anger and frustration can then be used in a more positive manner.

I would agree that their are higher forces within us which direct our will power to break old habits and fly in the face of convention to develop new habits, success means different things to different people. It's not easy to release things which have been hidden inside for so long when you know it will invite ridicule. Many people live a role just so that they'll fit in, if we can gradually find the strength to balance our life, then in time harmony comes.

I would venture to say that no one really comes here with the intent to change anyone, we all know within ourself what is right for us, but hopefully, by people publicly expressing their thoughts and experiences, others can find support and take from them what they find of value and enrich their own life.

Kind Regards,

Sally.

Hi Sally

I can't find an emoticon for *Banging On The Table* (Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump...) ...

Take the following quiz.

You don't need a pen, pencil, or paper.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for Best Actor
and Actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series Winners.

How did you do?


THE LESSON

NONE of us remembers the headliners of yesterday.

There are no second-rate achievers on the above quiz.
They are the best in their fields.

But the applause dies.
Awards tarnish.
Achievements are forgotten.
Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Now here's another quiz.

See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult
time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and
special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
6. Name a half dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.

Wasn't that a lot easier?

The lesson?

The people who make a difference in your life aren't the ones
with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards.

They're the ones who care enough to spend personal time and
effort for you.

Hey_Girls

Surely more than a couple of you have some energy to share with our baby sisters

Pleez don't be shy

The very fact that you are here proves that you have *already* made *your* "leap" to self-realization ...

... as Lynn Conway mentions about being very frightened throughout her earlier life ... heck, I reckon downright *Terrified* ... being threatened with "institutionalization" and *forced medication* for merely being *determined* to *be herself* ???

Comments need not be long or flowery

Pleez drop a note in here for the younger girls who may even have a lot of inhibitions about trying on a pair of panties ... let's not keep feelings of *guilt* and *shame* alive any longer

Only *you* can *inspire* the emerging generation of *WildFlowers* to "Break On Through To The Other Side"

Hey_(Darlene ... Hey)_Girlz

I've been kontemplating sincz the other day

A Kouple of points ...

1) Is it possible some girls are uneasy about my little challenge up top ???

You know when I was direkting Ladeez Ware Storz, I had basikally 2 kindz of employeez ... the onez I refer to in so many wordz az being "trapped" in a mirror ... and the onez with a view of the world however good or nastee they may have seen it ... age was not so much the issue az waz what I'll refer to az "life experience" ...

Kasez in point ...

... one gal, not so glamoureez ... but a martial arts champion at 18 yrz ... out of a war torn kountry ... do the work of 3 people without batting an eye ... honest az the day is long ... ladylike and quite accepting of the apparent matter that she would not likely be sitting for a Playboy shoot ... nothing nasty out of her mouth ...

... another gal ... very slim with a lean but but very cute figure ... rather shy ... bekauz she was out of an eastern european kommunist kountry where she had to be real kareful what she said to whom ... working in my store while her huzband tended their little princess ... to earn a second income & to have medical benfitz ... so she could go to skool to convert her european Khemikal Engineering degree into North American equivalentz ... also do the work of 3 people ... also honest az the day ... no foul words or evil deedz ...

... without too much description here ... I also had what I kall the "mirror girlz" who acted like the devilz daughterz ... alwayz lookin' at themselvez and fixin' their hair in the store mirrorz while ignoring customerz (hence the name) ... only "work" to get a clothing discount ... lazee ... bad mouthing and backbiting each other ... literally arguing and skrapping in front of customerz about who saw the customer first - just for a few inkonsequential bonus pointz ... avoided kleaning the fitting roomz ... you get the picture ... many of them weren't particularly attraktive but they figured themselves to be Venus' gift to all men ...

I'm not sure if that klarifiez anything ??? I guess what I'm getting at here is about *Kharakter* ...

One *Blue* boss I had in another line of work waz being pressured about "dressing" professionally for work ... he told the boss *The Tie Doesn't Make The Man - The Man Makes The Tie* ... pretty Kool I thought ...

Having said all of this ... I think I feel bad that I may have left a few people thinking I don't approve of mirrors ...

Well we all know "what" (after diamondz) are Tgirlz best friendz ...
MIRRORZ

***
OK ... enough of that

**
One Koncern I'm having due to another post elsewhere ... it's for the Kloset CD/TGs out there who have to *sneak* just to get some *Uptime* on the WWW to visit us here ... fearing the kiddeez or SO will katch them looking into our PowderRoom ...

Kan youzall offer a few words of encouragement where I may have missed some chances ... youzall being respekted and well spoken, open minded galfriendz here ???

I sense so much potential in this group and out in 3D land that kan help so many girlz elevate their konfidence and self-love

***
I hope youzall don't mind ... you see ... I'd rather share my Koncernz and thoughtz out in the open ... PMz are sorta weird

***
Having said that ... I uzed a PM tonite to offer my feelingz to a SO since I kan't intrude into their Forumz ... I hope thatz OK

Love / Marda

ps - everyonez ... apologieez if I kause uneezeness or suggest putting anyonez of youz on the *spotz*

Indeed balance in all aspects of life is very important. For it is in that balance that one finds not only inner peace and harmony but also, one finds peace and harmony with and within the universe. We are all children of the stars
The universe is as much a part of us as we are a part of the universe.

Ah, I concur. I wish to change noone, I just offer my opinions, beliefs and experiences as food for thought.

*Hugs*

[Marda]

Hi Jassmine

OK ... let's figure this out here ... how do you want to do this ??
Shall I say "I Double Love You" ... next would be "Triple" etc
or ... "I Double Love You" ... next would be "DoubleDouble" etc
or ... "I Love 'square' You" ... next would be 'kube' etc
or ... "I Love 'exponentially' You" ... next would be ...
"Would you like to BIGGIEsize that? ...

Omi_gawd ... if I do that, we would need HUGE bandwidth in no time flat ...

It would be quicker & cheaper to just drive to Dallas, treat you 2 a Popsicle and give you a "peck on the cheek"

Especially I'm kaptured by your post & comment as follows ...

Q. - How do you suppose we kan kommunikate this message in such a way that *More* folkz will *Komprehend* what we're driving at here ... I mean this is pretty *Kosmic* stuff ... *Waaaaaayyyyy out 'There"* ...

This is sorta why I use the "Mirror" Metaphor ... yes, we have to see our own self and *Depth*, but in the Kontext of the *Greater* picture of this *Wonderous* & *Wonderful* Universe ...

I reckon I'm Lucky in a way ... I have 4 things right here in front of me that remind me of myself and 1) how *Big* I am, 2) how *Small* I am, 3) how *Finite* I am, & 4) how *Infinite* I am ...

1) "Seymore" the spider 'who' lives in a corner of my window ... very kool ... his web is amazing ... watching him work is a thrill ... and I don't need to worry about flying insects

2) Mount "Seymour" ... a nice place to ski in winter ... nice hikes in summer

3) a cemetery

4) "Me" ... Marda ... & of kourse my "konstant kompanion" "Mr.Spaceman"

So, I'll repeat my question ...
Q. - How do you suppose we kan kommunikate this message in such a way that *More* folkz will *Komprehend* what we're driving at here ... I mean this is pretty *Kosmic* stuff ... *Waaaaaayyyyy out 'There"* ...

But ef u wunt to kommunikate u need to shay it I need to shay it evary boadie needs to shay it, ahl in a diphirant way.

[Ahzz]

*blink* umm, translator please! *blink*

The universe is all about balance. Whenever you see something, look for it's oposite. It is usually not very far away (if away at all).

One should always seek a balance point of all aspects of their lives. Once should not normally give in to extremes. Extremes are very draining and at times very damaging.

my 2 cents of rambling.....

[Marda]

Hi Ladies, Darlene, Ahzz

Thank you for your comments ...

OK ... Now ... Recap ???

1A) My contention is ... CD/TGs (Androgynous) people are Special people ... gifted with a very unique and powerful sexuality that if properly balanced and released can make a pioneering contribution to the stabilization and refocusing of Human Activity ... LIFE (if you will) ... in positive, balanced and constructive ways

1B)... it seems to be acknowledged at this time by many "camps" of human beings that our "world" is in a rather "negative" place & time of it's history / development ... or, in some other words, we're becoming overdue for a new "awareness" and new "vision" of why we're here and what to do with our collective "LIFE"

1C) My personal proposal here is that we've collectively ...
(never mind details at this point re: "Third World", "Developing", "Warring", "Tribal" etc Societies)
... finally ended the "Hard Industrial" phase of human endeavour in the "Western World" ... and we're well into the "Age of Information"

Q 1) Can we say this much here and now ???

Q 2) Can you ladies clarify and/or solidify your most recent responses for the benefit of my understanding ???

Thank You Again

Love / Marda
