Divine Transgender

Divine Transgender is both a religiogender and concept. As a religiogender, it described a transgender person who feels their transness is in some way divine. As a concept, it refers to a belief that being transgender is not a curse, but a blessing, and intentional by the divine instead of counter to it.

Etymology
"Divine" is a term that means "of, from, or relating to a deity/god."

Definitions

 * A Divine Transgender person is any theistic trans person (of any religion, if you believe in divinity as a concept or as an entity) who considers their transness to be divine because, for example:
 * they believe the divine chose for them to be trans
 * they believe transition to be a divine act or to be desired by the divine
 * they believe transness brings them closer to their deity/divinity


 * Only theistic [trans] people may identify as Divine Transgender because the identity is based on the belief that divinity exists and has power, and belief in divinity is theism. However, one does not need to adhere to a specific religion. You only need to believe in some form of deity. - koraki-mogai, 2021

History
The term was coined by Tumblr user koraki-mogai on November 7 2021, alongside several symbols for the term. Fey coined a flag for it the next day in an edit of the same post. However, two of the symbols--Divine Transmasculine and Divine Transfeminine--had appeared prior on October 25 2021 with two of feyr previous flag designs, Iphisian and Teirsian.

The term was created directly to combat the idea that being transgender is against god, or a curse by god. Instead, it argues that being transgender is honoring the divine, either by obeying its will or glorifying it in some way.

One illustration of this concept comes from Something That May Shock and Discredit You: “God blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason God made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine, so that humanity might share in the act of creation.”
