Then / Now

40 yeas between then and now. Same person, always male gendered. If you look closely you will see a brighter smile Now and a sparkle in my eyes. Being true to your self is liberating.
Those of a religious persuasion, especially those of the christian faith, would call me an abomination but Jesus said there is neither Jew nor gentile, free nor slave, male or female. The Divine doesn't look at the shell but the god likeness within. 
 
Psalms 139 (13-18)
13
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17
How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.
