Philosophical Speculations

The position on gender affirming surgery is concerning, however. I think that is a slippery slope and appealing to cases where they may be an "unbearable existence" seems quite illogical. Perhaps Rodriel can shed some more light on the nuances of the official position here. Sure, I'm happy to ...

Below we have a great example of the direction in which the 'culmination' of Anthroposophy should be sought (from the Facebook page).
