Someone left me a very poorly written one-liner to the effect that God is going to judge me for my words and \u201chatfullness\u201d. I can only assume they meant \u201chatefullness\u201d, since I can&#8217;t imagine God cares so much about my choice of bonnet. ??<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, that&#8217;s the second comment I&#8217;ve received in the past couple of months in this vein.<!--more--> One of my Facebook friends\u2013one of the many I picked up as a result of the time I spent on ChristianWriters\u2013informed me that, because I dared opine that God loves His LGBT(etc.) children, and therefore that people should too, that I was preaching \u201chate and deceit\u201d. Her words didn&#8217;t make me angry. They made me sad, for her.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I am fully aware that God will judge me in my time, thank you very much. He will also judge each and every one else, including you who tell me so. I am prepared to stand before Him on that day, and accept His judgment of me.<\/p>\n<h2>Peace in Shaved Legs<\/h2>\n<p>Okay, okay&#8230;I know to most of you this is old hat or no big deal, but it was a huge deal to me. Altering my appearance was a big cause for anxiety for my ex (with whom I still live, remember), so during the summer months especially, when shorts and trips to the oceanside were likely, I held off.<\/p>\n<p>But the hair on my legs (and in fact everywhere else except my head) was causing *me* anxiety. I hate my body and facial hair. I see it now and want it gone gone gone. With the onset of autumn in New England, and therefore long pants weather, I thought to myself, \u201cWhy not?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So I took razor and shave gel in hand, and shaved my legs. What a wonderful, freeing feeling, derived from a simple act! So much more comfortable (despite razor burn on my inside thighs, which I hope will diminish over time), so much nicer in tights or under my silky slips, or even under my plain old skirts!<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s more than just a sensation thing. Shaving my legs was an act of release for me. As I ran that razor up my legs, I watched the hair fall away, and with it a tiny part of my masculine side, leaving just a bit more space for my authentic self.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not the removal of the body hair that&#8217;s important. It&#8217;s the freeing of self that it represents. It&#8217;s the feeling of femininity that comes from it. I look at my legs now\u2013nude or in pantyhose or tights\u2013and see just a tiny bit of the real Catherine, who is still not free to be fully herself, but who has found a new way to celebrate who she is.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moving, Growing, Changing, Yet Still Me. \ud83d\ude42 Crosses and Clothes, Faith and Femininity Just a quick note especially for those of you who graced me by subscribing to this blog, that I will be changing over to a new blog in the near future.
