Wine-dark Dionysus, Free me today Like your frenzied Maenades, And in your name I will live and dance.

Dionysos Androgynos, They of gender ambiguity, Twice-born, and releaser of emotional and mental chains! You are the God who was raised upon Gaea as a girl, among we mortals, and soon became a male and neither! and both! If I have ever poured wine for you, ever danced! sang! laughed! among your jolly presence, I ask you, please allow my gender transitioning to proceed as it was meant to! To break the chains of dysphoria, as they bound me, and give me the fearsome might to protect myself from those who wish harm me and prevent me from living to the fullest in your name! Hail to Dionysos, O androgynous one, who stands alongside the transgender and gender variant youth!

Dionysos finds his Maenads among women who can’t stand any longer being locked into the domestic enclosure. They become wild women who break their chains in order to follow Dionysos the Liberator.

On the other hand, if the best you can do is to lose yourself in celebration for a night or two every now and again, I understand.

The best advice I can give is to be unapologetically yourself. Scare people. Make them stare and wonder how you do it. Some will admire you. Some will be jealous. Some will gather the courage to join you.
