This goes out to all of my #trans siblings.

To those in hiding, we see you.

To those alone and isolated, may you find love, friendship, and community.

To those exiled, may you find your home.

To those suffering persecution, we are here for you.

To those incarcerated, know that you are not alone.

And to those who have fallen, we remember you. Rest in power and in joy.

A joke for the #trans on #trains crowd:

Today I learned the the NYC MTA is switching operating routes between Manhattan and Queens - specifically the F and the M routes.

My thought: "I understand completely. I know a lot of people who switch the F and the M routes."

Realizing today just how broken the concept of heaven and hell makes people.

You start with, “Follow these commandments. If you do, you end up in the spiffy place. If you don’t, you’re going to end up in eternal torment.”

The idea of following rules because of eternal torment becomes more important than actually developing one’s own sense of moral duty, of questioning right and wrong - something that only comes from facing difficult choices, Morally ambiguous choices.

The ultimate result of this is whole swaths of the population who’ve never developed their own morality, and would gladly sell their souls and everyone else’s lives if a two-bit swindler convinced them it’d give them a ticket to the spiffy place.
