If you are sick of reading about it, shuffle on.
If reading about anything that isn't your opinion will inflame you, please don't waste your time here.
This is my thought. It could be a wrong thought, I don't know. I'm just putting it here for others to consider. I don't think I can be convinced of anything aside from this just yet.
I can understand what it is to feel like you are one thing on the inside, and something different on the outside. It makes sense! We are all on that journey in some way or another: to try to find inner peace and achieve some sense of balance in our lives.
Those that comprise the transgender community are faced with this challenge at the highest level. What makes it worse, I think, is that we live in a society that makes it seem as though you must be one gender or the other.My question is… Why?
Why?
If you feel one gender internally and physically express the opposite gender - what if you worked to embrace and incorporate both?
Wouldn't that be beautiful?
What if you aren't "trapped?" What if you simply and beautifully contain ALL?
What if you are ALL - ALL in one body, mind and spirit?
The amount of surgery and trauma these forms are sometimes choosing to undergo in order to conform to one gender or the other truly concerns me. When people go through multiple procedures to change their appearance for aesthetic reasons, we wonder if they have body dysmorphic disorder. The health implications — both short and long term — are frightening. If society simply embraced people who embody both genders, would our transgender people still feel compelled to subject themselves to these of multiple, intense, elective procedures?
Perhaps we won't know until there is acceptance. Societal acceptance AND personal acceptance.
Isn't that what we are ALL after?
