What Does God See?

I watched the Bruce Jenner interview and I really tried to climb outside of my confusion to try to understand what this experience must be like for people in that situation. Here are a few of my thoughts:

First off, I think it is one sided. Women through the decades seem to tell a tale of victory in becoming equal with men. We fought to vote, work, and even wear pant suits like them. We can cut our hair like them and be celebrated for playing their sports. A heterosexual woman can dress in a suit, cut her hair in a "pixie" (because we get cute names for our boy haircuts), become a CEO, wear no makeup, and be the MVP of the office softball team and never once have her sexuality questioned. Look at Ciara's "Like a Boy" music video. She is dressed like a male singing about being like a boy and somehow it makes her more appealing to the opposite sex.

A man could not do this.

A man that decides he wants to wear a dress, grow his hair long, stay at home, wear makeup, and play paddle tennis would be ridiculed and bashed. IT DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME.

I love to bum around in basketball shorts and an ex boyfriends T shirt. I have the underside of my head shaved. I almost never wear makeup. My sneaker collection far outweighs my heels. I am obsessed with anything that looks like a mens dress shoe. I LOVE TO BOX OMGGGGGGG do I love to box. What am I???? I am a tom boy!!! We even have a name for it. But a man who feels feminine is? Gay? I know many gay men who are not feminine at all.

Why is liking feminine things so looked down upon? Why is being a girl or acting like a girl or playing like a girl something that has become despicable? For example: "You're being such a girl about it." That is always meant as an insult.

Bruce said in his interview something along the lines of "I wonder what God sees when He looks at me.". That really struck me. He is battling the weak opinion of people and what we see. If we are uncomfortable with what we see we attack it. We're no better than a pack of wolves. What DOES God see? What does He see what he looks at me? It humbles me to think of it.

When a skin care line wants to show you how damaged a face is, they turn on that black light and suddenly someone with a great completion looks like complete shit. That is how I imagine God examines us. We put on these great faces and facades. We act socially acceptable and judge others when they don't. But when He turns on that light I can guarantee that some of the best faces are hiding immense damage caused by their secret sins and hateful dispositions. I can't even imagine what He sees when he looks at me.

He doesn't see dresses and pant suits. Those are fleeting trends anyways. He sees a persons heart, mind, and soul and I'm sure Bruce/Caitlyn's looks better than the people who have anything to say about it.
