Sex came before bodies. On the #metaphysical scale, the body-types with which we are familiar evolved to make sure sex would function.

After 2.1 billion years of #evolution, it's no surprise that #humans are not a strict #binary regarding #sexuality. In the individual scale, sex is different things to different people.

The mind evolved to protect the body. Compassion evolved to protect new #generations. No compassion, no extended #development. No compassion, no cooperation. No cooperation , no #society.

Raise a glass to our distant ancestor #Amniotes who were nurturers of offspring. Raise a glass to our much less distant #Hominid ancestors who bequeathed #language and other tools for survival.

All that is metaphysically still part of us.

Each set of generations will inform the minds of new generations on how to use their bodies.

Societies really are responsible for the adults within. #Culture is the #teacher of #parents.
