Transcendence.
Noun. Meaning, the existence or experience beyond the normal or physical level.

My life experience with my gender is currently not of the norm. And that’s ok. It’s transcending beyond what most may or may not comprehend.

I am who I am not because of you. I am who I am purely because of me, myself, and God.
God assigned me this life & I chose it in the ethers. Because I am resilient & badass enough to handle it. As well as compassionate, gentle, and kind.

Marsha P. Johnson.
Sylvia Rivera.

Also people that chose this life.
I can because they did.
