I have over the years been blessed with several friends who are transgendered. Among the many wonderful things in our relationships has been that invitation for me to see ever more truly the fulness of our humanity, and the complexity of our sexuality. A good thing. An unmixed good thing.
And, I’ve seen how people are so afraid of the fact who we are as human beings is more mutable and messy than people sometime, often want. Too often with terrible consequences for those who cross the boundaries.
Today we’re called on to witness the suffering of people who are transgendered, suffering at the hands of others. And to educate ourselves: to see here an invitation into the broadening of our hearts, ever deepening the wisdom of our true diversities, and from that to go on and seek justice for us all.
