I do not understand transitioning
to what?
to hormones?
to surgeries?
to maiming?
mutilation?
If trans is not new
what did
other times and people do?
Perhaps they accepted themselves
no matter how born or grown
Adorned the way they wanted
created by the beauty of the day
among the company they kept
Maybe they danced in the continuum
of their music and sexuality
somewhere between the male and female
There lies the mystery

I have thought about this a lot. Most people land at the ends of the continuum, but a fair number scattered in between. Seems "trans" is a modern medical/surgical construct, forced upon many by denial and lack of acceptance-- to make a person look that way? My understanding is trans is hermaphrodite. What do I know? Why would someone endure disfigurement to deny themselves and any future choices they might have? Seems this is a medical money-maker that could destroy the health of many young people whose expression is NOT abnormal.
