Your statement is referring to most humans. Is this your intention? Most
people have genetics (egg or sperm) which makes them capable of producing
fertile offspring (children) with other humans. I was unaware that these
people were dealing with the problem of being thought of as "less than
human."

Perhaps, deep down, at the heart of it - there really is just one Path.

Are we to declare, then, that it DOES exist? Would this be theosophical?

Again, does this mean that it DOES exist? And since each of us have our own
'sense data' telling us different things - different colors, what's lovely
and what isn't, etc - does all of it exist?
Those who are colorblind say there is no color that they can observe,
despite what others insist on telling them - are they being untheosophical
in their opinion?
