nope, totally got what you meant, and i don't think it's inappropriate at all. like i said, they may be different things, but at least for me they're very inextricably linked.

oh, wow, thank you!! i'm... genuinely surprised by how well received this has been? i mean, i'm just some random lady who mostly likes to stay in the background of things! this is weird and strange but it also feels really good to know tha tmaybe i can be helpful to some people!

oh gosh, thank YOU also for sharing your experience and i'm so so so very glad i could help you see even a little what you want in your life!

you're right that my queerness and transness (and they are separate things, though very closely linked) plays an essential role in my emerging spirituality. maybe that will diminish over time? right now everything in my life is INCREDIBLY INTENSE ALL THE TIME, and i kind of dig it, but i don't know if there's a crash coming at some point in the future. still, there's no way it couldn't, just because it's part of the totality of me as a person, just as your queerness is for you. i'm sure if i'd been raised in a more strictly religious home, i would have been even more inclined to what you said; as it is being raised more or less liberal and agnostic about everything has left me very open to exploration. it's pretty great, but yet another point of privilege that i recognize not everyone has.
