Alternative researcher Michael Tsarion goes into the importance of the sacred feminine.
On a spiritual level we are all androgynous beings. It is our default, essentially. The physical body manifests more commonly into one polar opposite or the other for the purpose of propagating life, but it is not a representation of Self (truest sense of identity).
Carl Jung wrote: "Every man carries within him the eternal image of woman, not the image of this or that particular woman, but a definite feminine image."
The same motif applies to women, carrying within themselves the eternal image of man. For him it is the Anima, and for her it is the Animus.
I believe that a large reason for the growing emergence of transgender identity has to do with how these internal "images" of ourselves have been suppressed. Some of us may react to this suppression through conscious behaviors and choices, but even Nature itself is subject to it. The human being is thus born into the world with more of its androgynous nature. It is the sacred masculine and feminine rising up to assuage the imbalances enforced upon us.
The sense of identity is deep, so how it may surface through expression will not always be translatable or understood; not yet, anyway. Keep an eye on this, and observe the shapeshifting evolution of the androgynous spirit.
