Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (b. Neil Megson) is a musician and artist whose career began in Hull, England in 1969. She was a founding member of the hugely influential bands Throbbing Gristle (founders of Industrial music) and Psychic TV. In 1993, P-Orridge began the art/life project of becoming a single pandrogynous entity along with her (now late) wife Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge. The two events are as follows: Friday Nov 16 ... Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (w/ A. Dilloway) at the 'Sco Opening set by Robert Turman 10pm / Free for Students / $7 Non-Students Saturday, Nov 17 Lecture by Genesis: "Breaking Sex" Mudd Library 050 (A-Level auditorium) 4pm / Free ------------------------------------------------ "Pandrogeny is not about gender, it’s about union. The union of opposites. One way to explain the difference is very easy: with transgender people the man might feel that he’s trapped... in a woman’s body, or a woman trapped in a man’s body — whereas in Pandrogeny you’re just trapped in the body. So Pandrogeny is very much about the union of opposites, and, through that reunion, the transcendence of this binary world and this illusory, polarized social system." - Genesis Breyer P-Orridge ------------------------------------------------ Excerpt from "Breaking Sex," by Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge, 2003: (S/HE IS HER/E) This is the final war, a jigsaw A war to re-possess your SELF. There is NO gender anymore Only P-Androgeny is divine. Sexuality is a force of nature that cannot be contained. Get up. Stand together in perfecting union, Join and love equally the man and the woman separated at b-earth inside you, Their first cries for justice …PANDROGENY! Re-united as one Identity is your only possession, as a being possessed Re-possess your SELF, Be possessed by YOUR self, Any SELF, every SELF you ever dreamed of, Every SELF you were ever afraid of. GET UP! Stop this war of limitations, STOP IT! Now YOU own yourself. Your own YOU own. Now it’s YOU. ... We are ultra-genetic terrorists. One man is another man or woman. EVERY MAN AND WOMAN IS A MAN AND WOMAN There is a time and place for everything indecent. Redesign yourself. YOUR SELF. End your social and sexual misery, taste the sweet electricity of PANDROGENY! “This time around you can be anybody” ... You were in your mother’s womb for forty-nine days an androgyne. Who chose your gender? GOD? Society? Family? Only by YOU ending this separation, Returning to that first pure state can real freedom begin. When all are but one sex, one species. This is not about becoming an Other, This is about returning to a state of perfect union.
