I don’t know

I have boobs

And a vagina

And I’ve been going by female pronouns for the past 19 years of my life

But it beats me

I want to word this as well as I possibly can so as to not offend anyone, though knowing the tumblr community, it might.

Let’s start with the topic of gay marriage:

Members of the LGBT community (such as myself - I am a pansexual and therefore am considered LGBT+) are no different from heterosexual members of society aside from the fact that they have different love interests. And I understand that people will quote Leviticus 20:13 (don’t lie with another man blah blah blah) but Leviticus also banned shellfish and etc. So why pick and choose? Also, people are celebrating the fact that members of the LGBT community are coming out because they are feeling much more safe than they did 50 years ago, when it was written in the DSM that homosexuality was a mental disorder. You can have your beliefs but you should also accept that times are changing.

Now onto the topic of abortion:

It’s fine to be pro-life. Everyone has their own choices. But I wouldn’t want that enforced onto me. See, there’s the regular pro-lifers, as I see it, who are just against abortion in itself because they don’t want to take away potential life (and that’s fine), and then there’s the radical pro-lifers, who burn down abortion clinics, protest outside of them, and make the mothers who don’t want to keep those babies feel terrible and guilt them into making a decision they don’t want to. Being pro-choice DOESN’T mean we run around screaming “HEY GET AN ABORTION!” It just simply means that if the time ever comes, which most of us hope it never will, we will have that option.

I don’t think you’re a judgmental Christian based on your beliefs. I think that you just need to look at it from a different standpoint and understand where others are coming from.

For you, anon, I thought very long and hard about this answer, even though I honestly don’t need to give it a lot of thought.

Let’s start with a simple statement: You can’t help who you fall in love with. I happened to fall in love with someone extremely special this time around - someone who is special in so many ways. Yes, people have questions about it (what pronouns does he go by, does he still go by he/him/his, etc.) but I just answer them as straight-forward as I possibly can.

How do I feel about it? I’ve never been happier, to be honest. Because for the longest time, I was confused about who I was too and I wondered why I was considered so weird because I loved everyone. But I realized it’s just because we can’t help who we are. I’m pansexual, proud to say it and very open about it, and I don’t see gender as a thing when I love someone. I think the human body and the human self is a beautiful thing. I fall in love with a person for who they are, not for what gender they’re labeled. And I’m able to give that much more love to someone who deserves it, because I’m not biased based on whether or not they have a penis or a vagina (or they identify with what gender they were born)

And what’s it like? Fan-fucking-tastic. We have fun together, we laugh, etc. We share secrets, we’re confident with each other. He tries on my clothes and it’s adorable (and I’m jealous because he looks better in them than I do). He had me help him and teach him how to do makeup (which he looks better with than I do, like damn how are you so gorgeous?) and we ask each other’s opinions, get flirty, and are just happy for every second we can see each other’s face. We live about an hour and forty-five minutes from each other, but he is so worth waiting for. And we cherish every moment we have together. You know the phrase, “You know when you know?” I didn’t believe in it until now but like damn. Damn.

So yes, he may be a woman but god damn if he won’t be (and isn’t already) the most beautiful woman on the face of the planet. Start bowing down now.

I MUST MAKE SURE HE CONSENTS TO THIS UNION BECAUSE CONSENT IS GOOD
