5 and 6 for trans ask?

ask game here!

5. What was the first time you suspected you were transgender?

around the time I graduated high school, I suppose. I’ve always been a weird little shit, but for a long time I thought it was an “I’m not like other girls” kind of sentiment. I didn’t really have any frame of reference, and a lot of the things I did that felt miserable like wearing dresses and styling my hair I thought were like that for everyone. I thought girls were just supposed to do these things and feel terrible at it the whole time. turns out they genuinely enjoy that stuff! and what that shit was is dysphoria. and also I’m not a girl. but it really was only until like right before graduation was I good enough at english to read some stuff about trans and nb experiences, and can go “gods I wish that were me”.

6. When did you realize you were transgender?

a year after that stuff above! while I was in france. the way femininity is expressed and upheld in france is very different from how it is in vietnam, and after a year of exposure to that I was confident enough to say that I am not a woman, in any culture. I was also kind of isolated in france, and without the pressure to perform gender to people, I could have a good look at what I felt and what made me and only me happy.

Subtle Difference - Headless Now Poetry Headless Nonduality

A subtle difference:

it’s a subtle difference of knowing – from a claim and followed explanation, to the simplicity of being of the experience itself, immersed, and no words will offer justice later. Even poets fail, forced to metaphors that still only touch a certain level. Yet an artist tries because there is a knowing, something spoken from the depth that’s eager to come through.

what comes from here needs no explanation.

and perhaps it’s more true to say an artist doesn’t know, and here it comes to that sublet difference – that there is really, only, the experience alone, with no one there to claim it. Great art is of the moment, an artist disappears into the unknowable landscape of right now. Indeed, it’s here that nothing can be known, with no direction of brushstroke, or poets next word, but only the doing itself, art in self-creation, and only after does an artist appear.

in this sense, the subtle difference is that there is no one present to truly know each moment. There’s only the story told after. No one knows how life will be directed, of how infinite matters coincide, unfolding every instant. We live in mystery.

we live as mystery.

of course, again, these are just words written from the moment – from the very start I was doomed to fail in any explanation offered. Yet I’ve enjoyed my moment here, an allowing instant of the mystery, without guess to any words that may appear. There was just writing, an easy happening of its own, without need to know of any theme, nor wish to offer meaning.

just words.

and that’s the subtle difference.
