Kuheshimu Nafsi Yangu Nzima<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Viumbe vyote vya Mungu vina mahali kwenye kwaya \/ Wengine huimba chini na wengine huimba juu zaidi . . . \u2014maneno ya wimbo na Bill Staines, mwanamuziki wa nyimbo za asili na mwandishi wa nyimbo wa Kimarekani<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Mnamo 1956, mama yangu aliniongoza kwenye ukumbi wa chumba cha chekechea. Rafu upande wa kulia zilikuwa na mabondia na vikombe vya chai, na rafu upande wa kushoto zilikuwa na treni na mabuldoza. Bi. Holmes alikuwa akiwasalimu watoto na mama zao walipofika. Nilikwenda moja kwa moja kwenye rafu za kushoto na nikasikia mama yangu akihema. Niligeuka kumuona akiinua mikono yake na kuzungusha macho yake, na nikasikia Bi. Holmes akisema, ”Ni sawa, Bi. Schutz. Marggie anaweza kucheza na vifaa vyovyote anavyopenda.” Ilikuwa wazi kwamba mama yangu alikuwa amesumbuka kwa tabia yangu isiyolingana na jinsia kwa muda mrefu. <\/p>\n\n

Kwa miaka mitatu, nilivaa suruali za bluu zilizoshikiliwa na vifungo vya mabegani, T-shirt nyekundu, na jaketi kama sare yangu ya kila siku. Lakini ulimwengu wangu ulipinduliwa darasa la tatu wakati mkuu wa shule alibadilika, na Bw. Wylde aliinsist kwamba nilingane na kanuni ya mavazi ya shule ya umma iliyofafanuliwa na jinsia. Wanafunzi wenzangu kwa miaka yote walikuwa wakiniuliza mara kwa mara, ”Je, wewe ni mvulana au msichana?” Jibu langu lilikuwa ”ndiyo” au ”Sijaamua bado.” Nilikuwa na uchungu katika ujana na nikabadilisha jibu langu kuwa, ”Ni nini kinakuhusisha? Je, unataka kufanya nami?” <\/p>\n\n

Nikiwa na umri wa miaka 13, nikiketi kwenye maonyesho ya kaunti na ng’ombe niliyelea, sasa kwa ajili ya kuuzwa, nilisikia kikundi kidogo cha Future Farmers of America nyuma yangu wakijaribu kila mmoja kuuliza kuhusu jinsia yangu. Hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyekuwa na ujasiri wa kuuliza. Nikiwa na umri wa miaka 22, nikisukuma gari langu la kwanza kwenye pampu ya petroli, mtumishi aliuliza, ”Itakuwa nini, bwana?” Nilijibu, ”Ijaze na ya kawaida, tafadhali.” Wakati chenji kutoka kwa malipo yangu ilipofika kwenye dirisha la gari, mtumishi alisema, ”Asante, bibi.” <\/p>\n\n

Ndani kabisa nilijua nafsi yangu, lakini utamaduni haukunitoa muktadha wa uzoefu wangu wa maisha katika mwili ambao Godde alinipa (tahajia Godde inakubali na kukumbatia kiume na kike cha Kimungu). Mwili wangu ulihimili hadi umri wa miaka 15, wakati hedhi yangu ya kwanza ilifika. Ilipokuja, nilihisi kusalitiwa sana; sikupata hedhi tena kwa mwaka mmoja. Wakati kujieleza kingono kulitokea, haikuchukua muda mrefu kabla wengine hawakutoa lugha ya ”butch lesbian.” Labda hiyo ilikuwa ufafanuzi wa karibu zaidi wa nafsi kama ilivyowezekana katika miaka ya mwisho ya 60. Niliishi ndani yake, kushirikiana na wanawake, kujenga upya mfumo mzima wa moshi wa gari langu la kwanza, kupandisha paa upya la banda, na kufanya bomba na fremu ya nyongeza kwenye nyumba ya wazazi wangu. <\/p>\n\n

Nina shukrani kwa mwili huu kwa uwezo wake wa kubeba mtoto, upendeleo ambao mimi na mshirika wangu wa wakati huo tuliushiriki, kila mmoja akizaa mwana. Sasa tunafurahia pamoja kuwa babu na nyanya wa wajukuu sita. Mmoja wa wajukuu hao, umri wa miaka mitatu, aliniuliza nilipotoka uchi kutoka kwenye bafu je, mimi ni msichana au mvulana. Jibu langu lilikuwa, ”Ni changamano; watu wengine si kabisa njia moja au kabisa njia nyingine.” Nimetoa jibu hilo hilo kwa watoto wengine wengi waliohojiwa kwenye mstari wa malipo kwenye duka la vyakula, kwenye chumba cha kuvulia nguo cha bwawa la karibu, na katika mazoezi yangu ya kimatibabu. <\/p>\n\n

Inaweza kumaanisha nini kuishi mahali pa utimilifu, ambapo nafsi yangu nzima ina nyumba ndani yangu na katika ulimwengu mpana?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Katika miaka hii ya hivi karibuni, ruhusa kutoka kwa vizazi vijana kuishi kikamilifu zaidi katika utambulisho wangu wa jinsia inayobadilika imekuwa zawadi kubwa kwangu. Kuna siku ambapo sehemu ya kiume ndani yangu ni kubwa kuliko ya kike na siku nyingine ambapo zinashindana sawa kwa umakini kutoka kwa fahamu yangu. Kuna siku nyingi ambapo dhana nzima ni ya kigeni kwangu. Hasa ninajua kwamba ningekuwa na furaha sana kuishi katika ulimwengu ambapo jinsia haina umuhimu, ambapo ulimwengu wa ndoto usio na jinsia ambao niliunda nikiwa kijana ulikuwa ukweli wa maisha yetu ya kila siku. <\/p>\n\n

Inaweza kumaanisha nini kuishi mahali pa utimilifu, ambapo nafsi yangu nzima ina nyumba ndani yangu na katika ulimwengu mpana? Uzoefu mitatu wa muongo uliopita unasaidia kujibu swali hilo. Jinsia ilionekana kutokuwa na umuhimu katika mkutano wa wikendi wa msimu wa baridi wa FLGBTQC (Friends for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Concerns, jamii katika Amerika Kaskazini). Vyoo vilikuwa kwa jinsia zote; nafasi za kulala zilikaribisha jinsia zote; sisi sote tulikuwa wanadamu na kutukuzwa kwa nafsi zetu za kipekee. <\/p>\n\n

Mnamo 2017, nilikuwa nikisafisha mabomba ya maji, kurekebisha kufuli ya lango, na kupakua shakes za mwerezi kutoka kwenye geti la gari siku ambayo mpendwa wangu alirudi nyumbani kwa baiskeli yake. Alisimama kuthamini uzalishaji huu, na maneno haya yalitoka kwenye uwezo wangu: ”Ninapofanya aina hizi za mambo, niite ‘Mico.'” Jina hilo halikuwa nililolichagua; nililetewa na Godde wakati huo, na limekuwa jina langu. Hata mama yangu alilikubali akiwa na umri wa miaka 93, miaka michache baada ya kuniuliza kama jina tofauti na lile alilonipa wakati wa kuzaliwa lingeweza kunifaa vizuri zaidi. <\/p>\n\n

Na hivi karibuni zaidi, mapema mwaka 2024, kwa kutambua ”uchungu” niliohisi kila wakati nilisikia kiwakilishi ”yeye” (kike), nilijiunga na mmoja wa wajukuu wangu kama ”wao\/wao.” Hii imekuwa changamoto sana kwa familia yangu, marafiki zangu, wale walionijua kwa miongo mingi, na hata wale ambao ni wapya katika maisha yangu. Labda ingekuwa rahisi zaidi kwa ujuzi kwamba kweli mimi ni zaidi ya mwili ambao Godde alinipa. Je, unaweza kujifunza kupenda na kuheshimu jinsia zote zinazokaa ndani? Kuna nyingi, na labda hiyo ingefanya iwe rahisi zaidi kusema ”wao” kwa kurejelea Mico wako mpendwa. <\/p>\n\n

Mwandishi, umri wa miaka 38, wakipumzika kwenye mashua ya tanga.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

Ndoto zimekuwa waalimu wa kiroho kwa Marafiki kwa karne nyingi. Nilibarikiwa na ndoto yenye nguvu muda mfupi kabla sijafafanua kwa jamii yangu hitaji langu, kupitia viwakilishi vipya, kwa utambuzi huu wa umma wa utambulisho wangu wa jinsia inayobadilika, jinsia kuchu, isiyo ya kawaida. <\/p>\n\n

Katika ndoto nilikuwa sehemu ya kikundi cha kazi kinachokata miti miwili, kuifanya vipande vya ukubwa wa kuni na kuipanga. Tunarudi baadaye baada ya kikundi kingine kubadilisha mbao kuwa vipande vidogo vidogo, na kazi yetu inayofuata ni kubadilisha vipande hivyo kuwa aina ya kijitabu: kijitabu cha maelekezo. Nyenzo haziko mahali tulipoziacha hapo awali, lakini ninapata msimamizi wa tovuti, ambaye anasema sasa ziko chini ya kilima katika mkahawa. Anaanza kueleza kilichokwisha kutokea na kinachohitaji kutokea baadaye: ufafanuzi wa kiume ambao ninachagua kuukatiza. Ninamuuliza kama anaweza kwenda kuchukua vifaa na kuvirudisha wakati mimi ninatoa maelekezo na kuandaa nafasi ya kazi. Anapochukua vifaa, tunaelekea chini kwenye jengo lingine, lakini limebadilika tangu mara ya mwisho nilipolikuwa huko: njia mpya ya kuingia na mlango wa kioo badala ya ule wa mbao. Ninajitanya kama ufunguo wangu hautafungua mlango tena. Labda nitahitaji kuomba ufunguo mpya. Nafasi niliyokuwa natarajia kutumia ndani inatumika kwa madhumuni mengine wakati huu, kwa hiyo ninaamua kwamba tunaweza kutumia nafasi tofauti kutengeneza vitabu. <\/p>\n\n

Ndoto hii na nyingine zimekuwa alama za njia kwenye safari yangu. Ni wazi itachukua kikundi cha kazi kufanya iwezekanavyo kuheshimu nafsi yangu nzima kuwa ukweli. Itachukua jamii kufanya kazi pamoja, kila mmoja akishiriki kwa njia yake mwenyewe. Tutaelekezeana, lakini mimi niko madarakani ya kijitabu cha maelekezo. Maeneo niliyokuwa nayo kabla katika maisha yangu yamebadilika na yanahitaji ufunguo mpya, lakini sasa mimi ni uwazi: mlango wa kioo kwenye uwepo wangu, sio kufichwa nyuma ya kizuizi kisicho na uwazi. Nafasi nilizoshikilia kabla zinaweza zisiweze kushikiliwa sasa. Je, ninahitaji kupata nafasi mpya za kushikilia zinazoweza kusaidia kuwepo ninakokuwa na kazi ninayohitaji kufanya? <\/p>\n\n

Ningelijibu vipi swali lililonijia mara nyingi nikiwa mtoto wa shule ya msingi, ”Je, wewe ni mvulana au msichana?” Siwezi tena kujibu kwa ukweli ”ndiyo” kwa sababu ninajua mimi ni zaidi ya moja au nyingine. Wala nisingekuwa na nia ya kusema, ”Sijaamua bado,” kwa sababu jinsia hailingani vizuri katika hilo ama\/au la kawaida. Ukweli wangu katika wakati huu ni kwamba mimi ni vyote viwili\/na, na mimi si chochote\/wala. Ninahitaji kubaki wazi kwa ufunuo unaoendelea kwa miaka yangu iliyobaki. <\/p>\n\n

Kweli natumaini kwamba ”Viumbe vyote vya Mungu vina mahali kwenye kwaya,” kama wimbo unavyosema. Nataka kuendelea kuimba na wale walionijua na kunipenda: wengi kwa miongo mingi. Na zawadi zangu kwa ulimwengu zitaimarika nafsi yangu ya kweli inavyoweza kuelezwa na kuheshimiwa ulimwenguni. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
