he was always so much more than gender or sexuality. so much more than just any one thing. he was friend and lover and artist and social worker, musician and parent and strong. he was wanna be traveller, wanna be tattooist, wanna be...so so so many things.
he has the residue of some of those things on his skin but it is only viewed through the lens of gender.
he is NOT his gender. he used to be more.
everything he does and thinks and says is related to this. he is transcentric. all part of the journey. i know this. i understand this.
but does it ever change?
will his gender now be THE most important thing til the end of his days here on earth? will he be self-defined by gender before or on top of everything else that comprises his being? or is this now all that will ever matter?
he used to be more.
i hope that his journey is gentle. and that one day, he will remember that he IS more.
