Anonymous asked:

What does "For those who yearn" mean?

hm, its hard to explain. i started the tag/started using it in bios and stuff after i read sleep-dies’ novel Growing Pains. its loosely based on this passage:

image

but mostly its just a vibe. like. i always yearn for change and relish in the divine act of becoming. and i want to communicate that ineffable yearning with others so this is just about the only way i can think of doing it. by living and becoming and sharing things that remind me of that unshakeable yearning. i live for those who yearn just as much as i am one of the ones who yearns. i should probably journal about this or something because there are so many branching feelings i could unspool that come from this passage (and the novel as a whole really). “for those who yearn” is about love and transformation and gender and waiting patiently and earnestly for things that you know can never happen and faith and transsexualism and community and furries and god

anyway, im not really sure where i was going with this, but i hope that at least gave you something to work with. this is like, rubbing up against the frontier of discovering my identity, so its just as much unanswered questions as it is established knowledge.

Do you write music with the view of being politically active and delivering a message or does it just happen and the rest follows?

Friendly reminder that Hozier’s first music video, in 2013, involved him literally taking his life savings and using it to make a protest video about anti-gay actions in Chechnya. This was not a popular position at the time, to the point that damn near every interviewer asked “so, are you gay?” because they literally could not figure out why he cared so much.


Incidentally, after the first few times of saying “no, I’m straight but it’s important,” he started saying “you can think that if you want.” ALSO not a popular position at the time. Adam Lambert’s entire career had been derailed only four years before because he dared to be openly gay and sexual about it.


He literally came out swinging like Muhammad Ali and has not stopped. And he finds it odd that people find it odd! Like he was asked if he was aware of his “lesbian cult following” and seemed genuinely puzzled why he has a lesbian cult following (and, later, just a massive queer following in general) and it’s like. Honey. You loved us first. You loved us more and harder than most people were willing to. When it was unpopular to even whisper about how maybe queer people shouldn’t be seen as inhuman actually, you grabbed a megaphone and screamed. You risked not just losing a career, but never having one at all, to stand by us. You loved us. We’re just loving you back.

On anon but. I'm someone who has detransitioned. I just want to say that, I was on HRT for about a year. It changed my body in ways that I absolutely love. I have a deep voice, and sharper features, and I have new perspective on my identity and how it interacts with the world. Being trans is a journey. From when I was five up to when I was 17, I fullheartedly believed I was a boy. I was, in that moment. But now, I'm a girl, too. I feel better as a girl - prettier, comfortable. But when I was a boy, I felt good too - in that moment, I was handsome, and I felt so so strong. It's not as scary as it seems. People ebb and flow and change. You can be what you want to be, and if ultimately you want to go back? You can. Just don't discount your experience as a mistake. In the moment it felt right. In the present is what matters.. You'll reflect on it, and maybe you won't ever change. Maybe it'll be what sticks. And that's a lovely thing in and of itself. You will find the you that fits. You will become someone you love by letting yourself express. I promise. Holding back will just mute everything that makes you, you - don't feel like you need to medically transition, either. It was right for me, but research is key, in all things. You'll be beautiful no matter what. Your experiences will shape you - as long as you allow yourself the freedom of expression. I promise.

this is so beautiful. the word detransition does seem to have a negative connotation in certain spaces and im really happy to hear u sharing your positive experience.

its so important to stress that you can simply try it. and if it isnt for you, you can stop.

veritudinous for those who yearn
