OURANOS [aka URANUS]
[noun]
Greek mythology: the primal Greek god personifying the sky. His equivalent in Roman mythology was Caelus. In Ancient Greek literature, Ouranos or Father Sky was the son and husband of Gaia, Mother Earth. According to Hesiod’s Theogony, Ouranos was conceived by Gaia alone, however other sources cite Aether as his father. An alternative belief is that he is primordial and born from Chaos, the primal force of the universe, thus has no parentage.
Ouranos and Gaia were the parents of the first generation of Titans, and the ancestors of most of the Greek gods, but no cult addressed directly to Ouranos survived into Classical times and he does not appear among the usual themes of Greek painted pottery.

To me this depiction of gender is much more accurate, and allows us to label ourselves anywhere on an infinite spectrum. Instead of putting ourselves on fine lines whilst calling anything off the line abnormal, we can be labeled anything therefor allowing any form of gender expression to be considered normal.
Interesting model for viewing gender.

Gage, an American railroad construction foreman now remembered for his improbable survival of an accident in which a large iron rod was driven completely through his head, destroying much of his brain’s left frontal lobe, and for that injury’s reported effects on his personality and behavior – effects so profound that friends saw him as “no longer Gage”.
