Ever since he showed up, I’ve been seeing a huge influx of accounts similar to his pop up. Some are subtle, MGTOW posters who simply reblog things with a snarky comment. Others have no posts but their likes are full of violent pornography, Whether out of ignorance or crude exhibition. Regardless, I want to let my mutuals and any other minority reading this to see:

You are worth a life of dignity and safety. You are beloved in ways you cannot fathom. I want to protect those I can, and equip all with confidence, courage, hope and forgiveness. If anyone, anyone at all, needs a place to grieve, I will do what I can, to offer comfort and validation.

Many people are going to see this and recoil with hostility, or fear or doubt or shame. I do not see any of that. I see You.

In the face of violent hatred, I humbly offer mercy to those who seek it. I will bring honor back to the name of the most blessed Virgin Mary and her beloved children. God bless you all. 🕊️

-Luce 💛

God of all creation, your wisdom, your love and your mystery are boundless. You have many names, which are beyond all gender expression. We give you thanks for the gift of diverse gender identity, expression, and sexuality. We acknowledge the times we deny that gift by holding too tightly to expectations of conformity and norms. We have created these divisions and use them against one another. We know this is not your will or your way. Help us to act mercifully and show grace to all of your people, as you have done for us. O Mysterious Maker of women, men, all that is in between, outside, and none at all. We come before you today with sorrow in our hearts. We remember those who have lost their lives because they did not conform to the gender roles society expects. We lament at the continued suffering, oppression, rejection and struggle of our siblings of all gender identities. Grant them strength, support, and love to accept and be accepted who they are.  We acknowledge the harm prejudice and ignorance has knowingly and unknowingly caused. Help soften hearts and give wisdom and understanding that in the sight of God, all are equally Beloved simply because of our existence. Open hearts and minds to embrace and support one another so that all may let their light shine before others by living out their Truth.  In the name of the One who is beyond all norm, amen.

my mothers approach to having a relationship w me is literally 1. don't ask any information about my life/job/interests when on the phone, let the conversation awkwardly die any time i run out of things to say 2. send increasingly fervent letters (addressed without using any name for me, incl on the envelope) abt how our phone conversations make her sad and shes praying for me.

now listen i understand its hard when your relationship with someone is strained and distanced in a way you didn't want. however when that happens to Me i do things such as, snort amphetamines, and run very far. maybe she should try some of that instead of resentfully moving halfway across the world to do soft imperialism, just a thought

CALL FOR ART BY TRANS+, NON-BINARY, & GENDERQUEER CHRISTIANS

​Are you a trans+ Christian with artwork (of ANY medium!) expressing your journeys in gender and faith? Would you like the opportunity to share your voice and experience with other trans+ Christians who may be struggling at the intersections of their gender and faith identities, especially amidst current transphobic Christian rhetoric? Look no further! Submissions due Friday 8/18 at 12:00 noon EST.

More information below the cutoff and on the project site! :) Please don't hesitate to reach me at soupdempsey25@gmail.com with any further questions!

The Transient Theology Project is an undergraduate research project focused on examining the intersections between Christianity, process philosophy, queer theory, and the lived experiences of trans+ Christians.

Given the ways in which non-cisgender identities and expressions have been understood as not only ‘abnormal’ but supposedly immoral in many Christian spheres, this research aims to offer a constructive theology which suggests that not only is it not immoral to be trans, but that transness is an actualization of what it means to be made in the image of God.

This project is critical and timely, especially due to the current onslaught of anti-trans legislation which directly impacts the quality of life for transgender individuals. This legislation, in tandem with anti-trans rhetoric, is understood to emerge from a particular fundamentalist notion of religious ethics; thus, this project aims to provide inspiration to trans+ Christians who may be struggling with reconciling their faith lives and gender identities within the current socio-political climate.

The main goal behind this project is to provide trans+ Christians with the affirmation that they don't have to choose between their faith and their gender identity. While many trans people have suffered trauma & abuse at the hands of Christian institutions & individuals, some have found that in embracing their gender identity, their relationship with God has been strengthened, and vice-versa. This project is meant to illustrate that those people aren't alone in that experience & that they don't need to pick between themselves and the God they believe in.

In an effort to be made as accessible as possible, rather than be presented in a formal, academic paper, this research will be compiled into a zine — a small-circulation, self-published magazine — that will feature art by transgender Christians and will aim to serve as a guide for those who are trying to navigate the tensions between their Christian faith and their non-cisgender identities and expressions.

Genderqueer Christians are invited to submit their art (of ANY and EVERY medium) to be shared in the zine by this Friday, August 18th at 12:00 noon EST. The link to the submissions form can be found here.

If you're cisgender and/or not Christian, consider spreading the word! Share us with any genderqueer Christian artists you may know, and stick around for more updates & the final zine release by following us on Tumblr, Instagram, and TikTok.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

No desire to convert to catholicism but the desire to kind of pretend that no schisms ever happened.
