Until I read this post, the possibility that same-sex roientation might be a Divine gift never occurred to me. It certainly could be because, for a long time I have seen transsexuality in that light. Also, the Pope's eloquent description of joy captures perfectly what all real transsexuals are seeking: harmony with and within ourselves. Now that I have read a complete translation of the Pope's address on Monday, I am viewing it in a far more positive light. Indeed his remark about the need to protect mankind from self-destruction needs to be seen in a far broader, far more urgent light. He is right that when man despoils (or destroys) some part of the environment, he is doing likewise to the handiwork of God, to his own peril.
