I agree with your premise that we should all work together toward a common goal/good/idea. This I accept without provocation or discussion. The conflict comes when you are identifying an individual as a "mason" regardless, as having been in "mainstream" masonry as you have stated, you have received the same (or should be very very similar) degrees which I have received. Having done this do you renounce your affiliation with freemasonry? If you have participated in the making, you have wronged the grand lodge, regardless of the district under which you reside. This is my interpretation of the degrees.
Having not been recognized as masons or made masons by the grand lodge or subordinate lodge, how can they be considered masons?
I understand that they have obtained the information through your information, and they practice the same or similar rituals however if they are not or have not been made masons, how do you justify the wording of female freemasons? (I have worked in the emergency room with doctors and nurses, have participated in procedures there, however, I am not considered a doctor or a nurse, or that I may complete those procedures independently; by having the information or practicing these precedures, should I call myself a doctor or nurse??)
I truly do have an open mind, and I feel a fairly decent intelligence level, everything in my mind is trying to reason with the information, but one statistic or fact still holds true. There are no female freemasons recognized or raised by the grand lodge or any subordinate lodge working under the jurisdiction thereof. If they are not recognized as mason's how are they considered female mason's ?
To answer your other question, I feel that freemasonry is a fraternity or brotherhood of man, who meet as equals with the purpose of providing information and intelligence to the brethren. It is also a group of individuals (males) who live by principles to elevate and enoble all mankind, I strongly feel these principles are important and should be shared and demonstrated in public life as well as private matters. I again agree that females, elders, youths are also able to follow these tenants of freemasonry as described, but without petitioning, investigation, and initiation into freemasonry by a regularly warranted lodge.

Thank you again for the information, and bye the way, do you agree with my statements??

I look forward to your response.
