Let’s talk about self-abandonment…
•
In 2023, I shaved my long hair the day after my partner and I returned from SXSW. I’d been called “ma’am” so many times in Austin, and each time felt like a punch in the gut.
•
Perhaps I thought that no hair would signal my “no particular gender” gender? The “she’s” still came, as they had when it was short before.
•
Regardless, for three years, it felt right.
•
Then, a few months ago, I was called to grow my hair again. I am unsure why. One week, I just didn’t take out the clippers. That week became a month, and then three.
•
All the time on the yoga mat these last two years, I became ever clearer within myself about my gender (or lack thereof), and all else. Annoyed at times when “she’s” flowed my way, and a phase of letting it slide.
•
I experienced less a punch in the gut and more a flick of a finger. However, it is not me. A whisper to pay attention to, as unattended whispers become screams.
•
This week during a class with @iamevanmeyer, we did a self-abandonment exercise, and I recognized how every time I stay quiet about this, it is betrayal. To myself.
•
I take responsibility. A call to even deeper embodiment. How would people know to make more of an effort when I stay quiet?
•
I convinced myself that my clarity overrode those repeated moments of disappointment. Yet, I have learned the hard way that silence is never a long term plan for authentic living.
•
You can be at home within and want to be seen and respected for all of your uniqueness. Two parts of yourself can co-exist at once. Both/And. As @lisafield12 says, “The All and Everything.”
•
This ability to hold many layers is what being gender queer/trans, queer in general, is all about. The in-between is the destination. The grey area seen as true as black and white. As important as this and that.
•
Being your own advocate even when you fear being an inconvenience (and possibly being rejected) is a profound form of self-love.
•
The small ways you abandon yourself when you don’t speak up add up.
•
So, where can you get a little louder on your own behalf? 📢🖤
