A Rogerian Vision of Gender in a Pandimensional Universe

Abstract

Rogers’ science of unitary human beings is used to present a unitary process in the origin of humans and the evolution of gender. It is suggested that the increasing diversity of gender may be indicative of the future of humankind. Human field image and Barrett’s power theory are used to understand gender identity, experience, and expression for wellbecoming.
