Here is Julian K. Jarboe if you are in need of a Christian trans perspective, from Rosalind's Siblings (edited by me, not a Christian, but I loved this poem). In case you need this tonight. Thank you @phoebebarton.bsky.social for bringing it up.

The Android That Designed Itself by Julian K. Jarboe I. Sermon for My Fabricated Body: Why does God create grapes and wheat, but not wine and bread? God does this because God wants us to share in the act of creation. To be how you made me, to become how God made me, through you, I can remake myself. You and I: we are already only whole, and shifting towards the divine. II. Manifesto for My Fabricated Body: Make me two feet tall with fourteen arms, no legs, and a prehensile tail. Make me large and soft and rolling: a photovoltaic mucus that envelopes all it touches. Make me edible but make me poisonous. Give me one of every face that has ever been called ugly. Give me one of every skin that has ever been called excessive. Give me a way of moving that no space can admit or accommodate, and then (image cuts off here)

I love the poem so much! Gave me a lot of self love when I was figuring out I was transmasculine and wanting to start HRT.

This was the original conversation, for reference (see up & down from here for what prompted it, big content warning for transmisogyny and anti-trans arguments in general) - bsky.app/profile/phoe...

Daniel M. Lavery wrote: "As my friend Julian puts it, only half winkingly: 'God blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason God made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine, so that humanity might share in the act of creation.'" i wish more of Christianity would see things like that
