text in the image: a tweet by @JulianKJarboe on twitter: “God blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason he made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine: because he wants humanity to share in the act of creation. I am only doing the Good Works here on Earth as intended!”

What a beautiful gift it is to be trans and/or nonbinary! God invites all of us to be co-creators. None of us come forth from the womb fully formed – we are all called to grow, to transform, to become. Those of us who are trans/nonbinary get to do that in a unique way.

this is so beautiful. And as a transgender man who is still part of the church, if not as actively as my family, I have struggled to find a way to express these exact thoughts in words.

I hope that someday I can have the courage to tell it to my family as well, that the reason I am walking this path is because I believe it is part of what God wants and intends for me in my growth as a human, and not because I think he made a mistake.
