 Sexual energy is the same with emotional energy. Nowadays it stays stuck in our minds space and is expressed solely through our reflection. We tend to express ourselves through our image and the way the world responds to this gets to define us in the end. I think it is ok to be sensitive as a man or to be strong willed as a woman and not follow the tendency of society in having to frame ourselves and MUST set a label/brand for ourselves. In the absence of other meaningful images created by our society, people nowadays set their identity in their gender which is some form of blocked emotional/sexual energy and it is, without judgement, the mark of lack of self-awareness to seek for you identity in the mirror or between your legs. Simply put, mind nowadays rules over bodies and inhibits the extraordinary innate intelligence it posseses. Butchering our own body, cutting off breasts and penises is just a form of expressing disempowerment and even though I emphathize with it, I think we should not lose sight of the models/ideals we should follow. Don't judge anyone for failing to become a woman and ended up emodying a man's energy and viceversa, but let's tone down the pride aspect.
