In a Mormon temple endowment ceremony, there is a part where the women are told to veil their faces because they are not worthy to look upon the face of God. Having been raised in the religion since birth, I never really questioned these things. I was very much a blind follower and trusted that the church leaders would never teach untruths and that the things I didn’t understand would make more sense in the afterlife.
Now that I’ve been disaffected from the church for five years, I’ve been able to embrace my femininity and find pride in being a woman. I believe for maybe the first time in my life that I have just as much worth as a man. I have become such a well rounded woman because I’m no longer trying to fit myself into such a small box. I’m so grateful for this platform and for all of you who have been a part and continue to be a part of my self discovery journey 🖤
