Dear Janus, Earth Angel and Poet:

I participated in a Qi Gong class in the past, and I liked it!

“most of my dysphoria is concentrated on my chest and hips”- I see the benefit of removing your focus from these specific areas and refocusing on your whole body instead.

I can see the benefit of connecting to other transgender people and “help each other work on coping with their stresses”, and understanding yourself better through these connections.

I like the idea of focusing on he energy that makes us who we are instead of the structure which is way less telling in regard to who we are. We are after all very much emotional beings, and emotion is energy-in motion.

“I want to seek an understanding of who I am as a person”- how about this understanding then: I am energy in motion. You are energy in  motion. I like this: you are not that chest, you are not those hips, you are not that face, these are all outward presentations and a form to hold that energy. But what form it is doesn’t  matter so much because it is the energy held in it that matters.

“the boxes are very restricting on my creativity”- the boxes are these representations, the form. Better focus on the energy, that same energy that you enjoy when “listening to the wind rustling the tree leaves and the birds singing”.
