You owe nothing to nobody. Be yourself. Hormonal variance has lasted across milennia because we are cultural beings, our biological mandate is culture (nor reproduction alone) and trans (but also every other way of existence and expression) makes us all more, not less. You /are/, and that’s enough.
If it makes you feel better, proper “men” and “women” are made to feel inadequate for the silliest stuff. There’s no perfect form that everyone would respect. People who like to control like to control.
The truth is: if you are Christian, Gd makes no mistakes. If you are not, why do you even care how people live their lives?
You don’t need scientific backing nor explaining to do.
Just be your beautiful self.
BTW trans people are around in most cultures, dating back as far as 6k years. What we know as “family” started taking shape like 500 years ago. Roman familia around 2200years old. Oikos 2500 years ago but it wasn’t meant to be the only way to live, just one option.
Tradition is just something someone made up 50 years ago. Be free.
I’m not sure how the piece reads because I tried to pare down most of my subjectivity and stick to objective description.
I didn’t intend to give the impression that I feel bad about being trans. I don’t anymore. I took a couple months to write it to try to make sure it wasn’t coming from a place of defensiveness.
You don’t need scientific backing nor explaining to do.
I disagree with this. Science is good. For me, knowing is freedom.
Science isn’t knowing itself. It’s just another form of knowledge. Also, I believe understanding is better, but thats just a personal preference. Be free without intermediaries. <3
