SL, your trolling and contempt is not welcome. If you mean unsatisfied, say it. Inadequate does not mean unsatisfied. It is an insult and a provocation. Your jab at us regarding the idea that we must be a man or must be a woman, and your implication that it is defined by our genitalia and chest development is not generally accepted or of interest to the people who are in this group. As for the consequences being "unlivable", that is generally caused by people who can't accept differences between people, not by the changes we seek for ourselves. Your gender binary view, religion, and desire to let us know you disapprove of what we are doing amongst ourselves is your choice and your problem. Go troll elsewhere.
Why are the trolls coming out all of a sudden? We've been relatively free of them for so long now. What has changed?
And since I have decided I shouldn't post unless I have something to say about the OP's post, I will say something about the question of when we "stop". We shouldn't. We all have our reasons for doing NBE. If your personal reason has enough definition, you can "stop" when you achieve your goal. I suspect for most of us, this is not a simple pass/fail situation. We are exploring ourselves and hopefully growing as people in the process. I feel that as we progress, we will find that how we go about that exploration changes and our focus also changes. Is that stopping? I don't think so. I guess I'm trying to say that NBE is just a part of experiencing life for us. It isn't a goal-oriented task so much as a way to enable going into the future in a different way than we have experienced the past. We all have our own personal and relatively unique reasons for wanting to experience our future differently from our past. Unless you're an automaton, there isn't much point to living once you stop exploring and experiencing new things.
