I’m curious to hear experiences from queer/trans Muslim reverts! I’ve been wanting to get a better understanding of other religious experiences for queer/trans people specifically because I feel that right now, they are important stories to share culturally and spiritually in a time of unrest. 🕊️
Being trans confused me so much. I was never happy, not truly, and the more I accepted it, and became confident in who I am, the more lost I became. As a lifelong athetist my world literally clicked the first time I prayed. I remember bursting into tears, and that night ordered my first hijab, pins, undercap, not knowing how much it would change me, and give me purpose. The day after I first wore hijab, I gave over half my wardrobe to charity, no more short skirts, and I feel more feminine than ever.
I let Allah into my heart and he made my heartbeats into music.
