Our culture often seems to combine the promotion of and prurient interest in hedonistic behavior alongside a puritanical mortality -- we live in a puritanical world, we could say. In other words, on the one hand, we are encouraged to have fun, to be completely selfish and pleasure-seeking, but, on the other, if we make a mistake, or become the target of others, there is no limit to the social punishment that can be melted out.
Nina Power, “What Do Man Want?” (2022).
The courage to be which is rooted in the experience of the God above the God of theism unites and transcends the courage to be as a part and the courage to be as oneself. It avoids both the loss of oneself by participation and the loss of one's world by individualization. The acceptance of the God above the God of theism makes us a part of that which is not also a part but is the ground of the whole. Therefore our self is not lost in a larger whole, which submerges it in the life of a limited group. If the self participates in the power of being-itself it receives itself back. For the power of being acts through the power of individual selves.

#Inktober Day 18: Trap.
Language is a powerful thing.
Trap is a loaded term. I would like to say it refers to someone trapped in the wrong body, but the term as an anime/manga archtype seems inseperable from scenes of often fetishized, scandalized, and exploitative "surprise" biological sex reveals. That the person themself is a trap in the sense of having different genitalia than expected from their gender performance or appearance. Like their gender is an insidious scheme designed to lure in unsuspecting prey to thrust their genitalia onto, rather than simply their authentic performance of self and being a victim of sexual assault and/or voyeurism. This is a harmful stereotypical narrative of transgenderism and crossdressing.
Back in 2010, [...] "Trap" was the only word, loaded as it was, that we had to classify people who felt they were born in the wrong sex. I apologize for its use, but not for the conversation. [...]
