You don't get it, this has been living in my mind rent-free for years

There is an undeniable holiness in all trans people

They embody the God of creation, the God of and, the God of and then…

Literally they are the spirit of creation in flesh. Molding themselves into the final divine vision that they were destined for.

I just love fucking being trans.

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.

The Old Gods - Yemoja

“Ah, the ocean…like a woman, she can be gentle - caressing you with her soft waves, coaxing you to be vulnerable so as to really feel; she can engulf you whole within her very depths - submerge you deep within to see…but, ah, the ocean…like a woman, when tempered - when wronged, she is a force to be reckoned with! She will unleash her waves of anger - drowning you; leaving you choking on the very water that once brushed away your tears.”
