Being in this sacred body, being more connected to my body, to be present, for the feeling within also comes with much pain to be felt, with all the senses, with increased fear of violence existing, presenting and animating my body in all the ways that I was told I couldn't.
Bonnie Violet, the heart and soul behind 'A Queer Chaplain', takes listeners on a deeply personal journey through the layers of touch and its profound impact on her life. In this episode, Bonnie opens up about how her experiences with childhood trauma and gender transition have shaped her relationship with touch. Celebrating her 44th birthday, she shares a poignant reading from the Story Story Night in Boise, offering a raw and heartfelt narrative that spans her past, present, and future.
Bonnie's story begins with the painful memories of childhood abuse, where touch was a source of fear and discomfort. As she transitioned and embraced her gender identity, the meaning of touch evolved, becoming a complex interplay of anxiety, joy, and healing. Through art, performance, and community support, Bonnie has reclaimed her body and found a sense of wholeness that defies traditional gender norms.
This episode isn't just about Bonnie's personal experiences; it's a testament to the resilience and courage of those who face transphobia and violence daily. As a queer chaplain and digital artist living with HIV, Bonnie uses her platform to highlight the struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQ+ community, particularly those grappling with addiction and recovery. Her message is one of hope, compassion, and the transformative power of spirituality.
Listeners will also hear about Bonnie's upcoming conversation with her conservative Christian aunt about trans visibility and her ongoing journey of recovery from drugs and alcohol. Through her vulnerability and honesty, Bonnie invites us all to reflect on our own experiences with touch, trauma, and healing. This episode is a beacon for anyone seeking to understand the intersection of spirituality, identity, and recovery.
