Mystery Babylon

For any trans people who need to hear this:

Your body is beautiful. You're worthy of being desired, if that's something you want.

Whether you choose to transition or not (and in whatever direction you want), and wherever you are in that process -- you're seen, you are believed, and I'm proud to be your sibling.

When you look in the mirror, you deserve to hear, "Hey, Beautiful." If you don't hear it in your voice, hear it in mine.

Your strength is incredible. You come from a long tradition of transgender people, stretching back to the earliest days of humanity.

Let the haters shout into the void. You don't need to. The Void already loves you. βœ¨β€‹

Speaking of eggs

Today would be a lovely day for me to formally introduce myself as a follower and devotee of Phanes/Eros in the Orphic Tradition.

And to ask that my pronouns be referred to as ve/vem/vers, and secondarily he/him/his.

Questions are OK, just be kind. It's free.

✨

"Say: β€˜I am a child of Earth and starry Heaven,

but descended from Heaven; you yourselves know this.

I am parched with thirst and dying: quickly, give me

the cool water flowing from Memory’s lake.’"

I don't know much about Orphic Tradition, but I'd be very interested to hear the connection between the tradition and the ve pronouns if you have some time to explain. (If you don't, I'll probably be doing more digging at this later on my own 'cause it's interesting and cool!)

@erosdiscordia I mean, I have big dysphoria and if anyone told me I was beautiful I'd be likely to bite them.

/Especially/ among trans critters, not everyone likes or WANTS to like their body! The whole point is that my body's utterly wrong.

@erosdiscordia thank you for posting this, i struggle with dysphoria in a abusive household where i cant express my gender identity, it means alot to hear that we aren’t alone and that it eventually gets better. we feel isolated when we’re physically trapped by our own oppressors, be that ourselves or others. its important to realize that even if you aren’t receiving love from the people who you spend the most time with, you can and will still receive love in the future. stay strong fellow trans and genderqueer siblings <3

@erosdiscordia I think also it must be said: whether you choose to transition *or not*. There are also myriad reasons people do not transition, but they are also valid.
Show threadLimited For No Good ReasonNov 24, 2022

@erosdiscordia
I'm uncomfortable with that last sentence. "cis people please boost"... as if you need to remind your allies who aren't LGBTQ+ that people are people, and equality needs to be shared equally.

If I posted something similar I'm almost certain you'd have a similar reaction.

Let's try to keep a little respect for each other when asking our allies for help.

@erosdiscordia I'm not trans but these are such wise words for my trans siblings. Never forget that there are so many of us who support you every step of the way. We will never judge, we will never speak over you, we will never try to make it all about us. We will just stand beside you in solidarity as you speak your truth and stand proud as your authentic selves.

@RoisinMoriarty @erosdiscordia Thirded, and I'll go a step beyond #TransRightsAreHumanRights to say that #TransRightsAreInherent. They are rights by virtue of your very existence. Anyone who attempts to trample them is guilty of a crime against your very being and should be prosecuted for that crime. That must be the standard that we work toward.
