One of the oldest goddesses in the historical record is Inanna of Mesopotamia, who was referred to, among other honorifics, as “She who makes a woman into a man, she who makes a man into a woman.” The power to alter such fundamental categories was evidence of her divine power. Inanna was served by at least half a dozen different types of transgendered priests, and one of her festivals apparently included a public celebration in which men and women exchanged garments. The memory of a liminal third-gender status has been lost, not only in countries dominated by Christian ideology, but also in many circles dedicated to the modern revival of goddess worship. Images of the divine feminine tend to appear alone, in Dianic rites, surrounded only by other women, or the goddess is represented with a male consort, often one with horns and an erect phallus. But it is equally valid to see her as a fag hag and a tranny chaser, attended by men who have sex with other men and people who are, in modern terms, transgendered or intersexed.

i really believe in the inherent divinity of trans people. there’s a thread that winds through the entire history of the world of genderqueerness and sanctity. it’s found in so many cultures and societies. even so many of the catholic saints had diverse gender experiences and this was considered divine. something that brought them closer to the divine, because god was seen as beyond binaries. and continuing with catholicism - even the concept of eve being formed from adam’s rib means that the first woman was formed from originally male flesh. and jesus was born of a human female only so the perfect man was formed from originally female flesh. (i’m not catholic, i just think it’s fascinating that even at the heart of western culture, these ideas are inherently ingrained.)
but this means we were always here!! we are sacred!! any queer space is sacred and any sacred space is queer!! being trans gives you access to the divine, and fuck anyone who thinks they can tell you what your relationship to divinity is.
Seeing a frankly disturbing influx of T.ERFS on this site, so here’s a reminder that TERF and alt right fascists are one and the same, it’s always ethical to punch both. I am a they/them, genderqueer, bisexual (on the spectrum of ace, varying from day to day), I am brown, androgynous and the foppish, well read, bi Quaintrelle your parents warned you about. I’m not male or female, I am a threat, and the moral panic is about me. Lastly, to all T.ERFS, it’s on site if you come near me, have fun getting ideologically torn to shreds and blocked. Respect trans people or gtfo.
"the process" here referring to the routine of injections, applying gel, taking pills, or anything else involved in Doing HRT. also, feel free to elaborate on how/why!

Also, Anne Rice championed bisexuality and transgender rights until she died. You do her a disservice coming near me.
