as a jew and a trans person, who is devoutly christian and communist, i find myself caught between two worlds that often seem at odds. my faith in god and my belief in a just society where everyone is treated equally are deeply intertwined. however, i fear the revival of paganism, which i believe could lead to a return to oppressive systems and the marginalization of those who are different. i hope for a future where my identity can be embraced without fear, and where the values of love, equality, and justice prevail. i pray for a world where my existence is not seen as a threat, but as a testament to the diversity and richness of human experience.
