Hmm. Looks like you’re going to have to accept all emotions and let it go through you.
Things have changed for me
And that’s OK

not to be corny but i spent so much of my life, like actually half of it, delaying going on hormones for fear of regretting it, but i’ve only been on t for three weeks and already i feel like so fucking much is possible. like i don’t think i understood the profound emotional effect this would have on me but holy hell what a revelation this has been and im just at the beginning of it,
[skate or die voice] you have to eroticize your alienation from traditional heterosexual nuclear family structures or die, bro. you eroticize your alienation, or you die

Making motivational "it's never too late to transition" posts is really undercut if the age you're highlighting is still young. Claiming that your transition was late and it worked out great for you actually makes older people more afraid to transition if you're saying that shit in your 20s. How do you think a trans person in their 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s feels when you're 23 and calling yourself a late transitioner?
It's never too late until you're in a coffin. It is worth it for a single day of being yourself, even if you're 110.
Gernot Bubenik (German, b. 1942) - Untitled, Screenprint, 50 x 65 cm (1968)
I don't think God is this entity out there altogether apart from us. "The eye with which I see God is the eye with which God sees me," says Meister Eckhart, a quote which I'm sure you know and which is no doubt overused. But it does get at an important truth. Attention enables God's presence. The life and love that are God are catalyzed by the life and love we expend in his direction, whatever form that expenditure takes (art, prayer, worship, theology, maybe anything beneficent that is done with "absolutely unmixed attention," as Weil puts it). God really is more of a verb than a noun, as are our "selves."

Max (1992) This documentary is probably the first cinematic portrait of a trans man - one of numerous pioneering works by Monika Treut. In this work, Native American Max Wolf Valerio discusses his journey transitioning. Displaying an extraordinary capacity for self-analysis, he proudly recounts his experiences with the hormone testosterone and talks about the queer community’s hostility towards transsexuals and the adventure of becoming a heterosexual man after having been a lesbian woman.
