Transgender & Nonbinary Mindfulness | 20 Affirmations | Befriending Trans Identity | Nonbinary Pride

[Music]

i don't owe wellness to anybody may i allow the reality of what i'm going through to be deeply felt i don't owe specific postures to anybody may i sit and walk and move however i please [Music] i don't owe the world a certain appearance may i not become ill from society's high expectations

around one of the least democratic things appearances may i befriend parts of my identity that are not accepted by dominant cisgender cultures my body does not owe the world a particular shape or expression may i feel free and beautiful may i not believe trans misinformation and disinformation [Music] may i not let transphobes steal my

exuberance may i not harm myself when my existence is denied may i not hate myself when cis people create panic about transitioning may i not let gender envy result in unhappiness and resentment may i not let my ego corrupt my compassion when other trans people open up about pain and transphobia may i not let attacks on my community

lead me to a life without energy concentration and resilience may i not suppress my own intelligence creativity and rare beauty [Music] may i in spite of all that i'm up against trust that some do still care about me may trans communities be free from infighting and externalized self-hatred may all trans people find hope

may all trans people find engagement all trans people find clarity may all trans people find refuge may all trans people find confidence from the truth of impermanence
