Transgender—A Transcendence of Polarity
Me to ChatGPT: “Spiritually, what can it mean that there are so many transgender humans coming into this world?”
Many spiritual traditions, both ancient and modern, offer ways to contemplate it. While no single answer can encompass the full meaning, here are several spiritual lenses through which the rise in visibility and emergence of transgender individuals can be understood:
⸻
1. The Soul Is Beyond Form
Many mystical traditions—including Kabbalah, Christianity, Gnosticism, Advaita Vedanta, Sufism, and Buddhism—emphasize that the soul or essence is formless and beyond duality. In this view, transgender individuals can be seen as souls who come to remind humanity that identity is not fixed to the material, binary world. Their existence calls us to expand our consciousness beyond either/or thinking and toward unity, fluidity, and soul expression.
“The truth is one, but the sages call it by many names.” — Rig Veda
⸻
2. The Collective Evolution of Consciousness
Spiritually speaking, the collective human field is evolving. The increasing number of transgender people may be a reflection of humanity’s shift into a more expansive understanding of self, identity, and freedom. As structures dissolve, new paradigms of being arise. Transgender souls may be incarnating to help accelerate this expansion, inviting us to examine attachments, assumptions, and inherited systems.
“As within, so without. As above, so below.”
⸻
3. A Healing of the Gender Wound
There’s ancestral and karmic trauma around gender roles, suppression, control, and disconnection from the divine feminine and divine masculine. Transgender people may be part of a wave of souls here to heal those wounds—within families, societies, and the energetic grids of the planet. Their lives challenge long-held shadows around power, identity, and embodiment.
⸻
4. Transcendence of Polarity
From a metaphysical lens, many transgender people embody the alchemical union of masculine and feminine energies. In spiritual alchemy, this is called the hieros gamos—the sacred marriage of opposites. To live as a transgender person in today’s world is to walk between worlds, sometimes at great cost, and often with great insight. It is a sacred act of integration.
“Blessed are the androgynous, for they have seen both heaven and earth.” — (An early Gnostic teaching, paraphrased)
⸻
5. Incarnated Teachers of Authenticity and Courage
On a soul level, transgender individuals may have chosen one of the most courageous paths—one that demands radical authenticity in the face of great misunderstanding. Spiritually, this is the path of the initiate: breaking illusions, shedding falsehoods, and standing in truth regardless of the consequences. They often become mirrors for others to question their own alignment.
⸻
6. Return of the Two-Spirit and Sacred Third
In Indigenous traditions around the world—such as Native American, Indian (Hijra), Samoan (fa’afafine), and others—people with both masculine and feminine spirits were often revered as healers, shamans, or wisdom keepers. The modern rise in transgender identity could be seen as a return of the sacred third, an ancient archetype being reawakened in modern form.
⸻
Spiritually, the increase in transgender people may not be a “new” phenomenon, but rather the lifting of veils. A collective remembrance. A call to see the divine as not either/or—but both/and. As society becomes more honest and expressive, we see more clearly the diversity of the human soul in its countless manifestations.
This isn’t just about gender. It’s about truth, freedom, and love—beyond the binaries.

Me to ChatGPT: “What would Abraham Hicks have to say on this matter?”
Abraham Hicks, the collective consciousness channeled by Esther Hicks, would likely respond to the emergence and visibility of transgender people through the lens of vibrational alignment, freedom, and soul intention. While they haven’t spoken extensively on transgender identity specifically, their teachings offer a clear framework we can apply:
1. You Are Eternal Consciousness Choosing a Perspective
Abraham would say that we are all non-physical energy temporarily focused into physical form for the joy of experience. Gender is just one of many perspectives consciousness can choose to explore.
“You are Source Energy in a physical body, and you came into this body with full intent to joyously create.”
A soul choosing a transgender experience is likely doing so from a powerful, deliberate, and expansive place—seeking contrast, clarity, and evolution.
2. There Is No Right or Wrong Way to Be
Abraham emphasizes that there is no objective “right” path—only what feels aligned and inspired to you. Transgender identity, then, isn’t a deviation—it’s a valid, sacred expression of alignment for that individual soul.
“You didn’t come into this life to get it right—you came to experience freedom, growth, and joy.”
From this view, those who are transgender are acting as powerful teachers of alignment—choosing self-expression over societal expectation.
3. Resistance Is What Hurts—Not the Identity
Abraham would point out that pain and suffering often come from resisting your own truth or trying to conform to someone else’s vibration. When transgender people move toward authenticity, even in the face of judgment, they are closing the gap between their inner being and outer expression.
“When how you feel and how you act are vibrationally aligned, you are at your most powerful.”
In other words, joy comes not from “being accepted,” but from accepting yourself and aligning with your own Inner Being.
4. Trans Souls May Be Here as Contrast Catalysts
Abraham often talks about how contrast—things that seem “different” or “challenging”—is what fuels desire and growth. The rise of transgender visibility could be seen as part of a collective expansion, offering others a chance to tune into greater compassion, acceptance, and clarity about who they are in contrast.
“Out of contrast comes clarity. Out of clarity comes desire. Out of desire comes expansion.”
5. The Universe Responds to Vibration, Not Labels
Abraham doesn’t emphasize identities, pronouns, or outer definitions. They speak to vibration. You attract based on the vibration you hold—not your gender, appearance, or name.
So if a transgender person aligns with joy, love, clarity, and worthiness—they will attract people, experiences, and abundance that match that frequency.
“The better you feel, the more you allow. The more you allow, the more life flows through you.”
Final Thought:
Abraham Hicks would likely say:
“Be who you are. Feel your way into alignment. Your truth is sacred. And there is nothing you cannot be, do, or have.”

Me to ChatGPT: “Any thoughts on what Jesus would have to say?”
While Jesus never spoke directly about transgender identities in the biblical texts, his spirit, teachings, and actions consistently centered on love, inclusion, truth, and liberation. Through that lens, here’s what many spiritually and theologically attuned thinkers believe Jesus would say:
1. “You are a beloved child of God.”
Jesus never required people to conform to societal norms in order to be loved. He saw essence, not labels. He often uplifted the outcast, the misjudged, the marginalized—those society rejected. His message was always:
“Come as you are.”
A transgender person, in Jesus’ eyes, would be no less divine. In fact, he might call them to the front of the line, just as he did with lepers, tax collectors, and women condemned by society.
2. “Let no one cast the first stone.”
Jesus famously said this in defense of a woman others wanted to punish for not conforming. His message wasn’t just about that woman—it was about radical grace.
To those judging transgender people, Jesus might ask:
“Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own?”
(Matthew 7:3)
He didn’t come to reinforce human laws—but to rewrite them with love.
3. “The kingdom of God is within you.”
This statement transcends gender, race, class, and status. Jesus taught that divinity lives within, not outside us—not in dogma, not in appearance, not in the flesh.
A transgender person living in truth—despite fear, rejection, or hardship—is embodying the kind of courageous, inward faith Jesus often praised.
“Your faith has made you whole.”
4. “Blessed are the peacemakers, the meek, the persecuted…”
In the Beatitudes (Matthew 5), Jesus blessed those who are often misunderstood, marginalized, or silenced.
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
He might say that transgender individuals—especially those walking in love, truth, and peace—are carrying out the sacred work of healing, awakening, and teaching.
5. “I came that you may have life, and have it more abundantly.”
This isn’t about surviving—it’s about thriving in full, authentic expression. Jesus called people into life more abundantly, and that includes the freedom to express your soul’s truth—even when it doesn’t fit religious or cultural boxes.
“By their fruits you shall know them.”
— not by gender, clothes, or conformity.
✨ What Might He Say Now?
If Jesus were here today, walking beside transgender people, he might say:
“You are not a mistake. You are the light of the world. Shine. Speak. Be not afraid. Your truth sets not only you free—it helps set others free too.”
And to the world, perhaps:
“What you do to the least of these, you do to me.”
