“It’s strange how the idea of heaven is a completely untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a utopia of peace, unity and happiness.. But here on Earth it’s considered a crazy Communist ideology.”

it’s said Mother/Maa, the wife of Shiva, takes this form to kill the ego and the evil of men and demons. Only dancing on the probe body of Shiva can calm her and she can return to her original form as Parvati. She is compassionate and the spirituality of goodness.

In this archival footage from 1953, trailblazing trans woman Christine Jorgensen is named “Woman of the Year” by the Scandinavian Societies of Greater New York. Jorgensen became one of the first trans people to achieve international fame after her gender-affirming medical transition made headlines around the world. She became a visible advocate for trans people and helped challenge public perceptions of gender. Just a few decades earlier, homosexuality was widely classified as a mental illness by medical institutions, while trans people faced intense stigma, discrimination, and a lack of access to affirming healthcare. Jorgensen's visibility helped bring conversations about gender identity into the public sphere and paved the way for future generations. The award was presented by Dr. Harry R. Berglund, and following her return to the US, Jorgensen continued receiving medical and hormone care from pioneering endocrinologist Dr. Harry Benjamin.
