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. ✨​

(cis people please boost)

Still can't believe it.  ✊🏼 

#TransDayOfVisibility

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: ‘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.’"

@erosdiscordia
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!)
