I wore military clothes, attire that was best suited for the task at hand. For how could I do battle in a gown. furthermore, wearing a gown would only allow me to ride side saddle on horseback and only at a very leisurely pace to boot. I also cut my hair short for two reasons, firstly, to prevent the enemy pulling my long black hair and throwing me from my faithful horse. And secondly my long hair would have caused the head covering to eventually become loose and unstable, and by doing so putting me at a disadvantage to my enemies. Also consider the internal struggle of my soldiers, they, taking orders from a “girl” was not easy for them back then and is something today men still have such difficulty with. So, I also took the opportunity to look more masculine for them by having my hair cut “en ronde”.
I was imprisoned, tried, and found guilty not of war crimes, which almost certainly would be the accusations brought against me if I were in flesh and blood this very day. No, my crime from these religious extremists was wearing mens clothes after I had agreed never do so again, therefore as a “relapsed heretic,” my fate was sealed. Even though there was provision in 1428 to allow women to wear mens garments if they felt their virtue and or life was in danger. Nothing re-enforces this provision further than doing battle with my countries enemy. This provision would certainly cover the necessity to wear mens garments and make null the “cross dressing” accusations brought against me.
I was given no counsel to support me in court, my mother and two brothers who fought alongside me were denied bearing witness as to my good character, obedience and the female duties I performed in the family home. Only some 25 years after my murder were they allowed to give testimony.
I was given counsel by a “false friend” I knew this to be so as my beloved St Catherine afforded me good counsel and for-warned of this man. There are many false friends in the cross dressing arena today stirring suppressed, raw and confused emotions.
And so now we get to the point of this message. The term cross dressing is reported in the many books about me and others dating back to the 1900`s and back even further. Yet even in those olden days as they are referred to, it held the same connotations as it does today.
The term cross dressing unquestionably has reference to that of a sexual nature, orientation or preference, there can be no dispute over this. I took a vow of chastity and so there was no sexual motive for my wearing mens garments, even the courts at that time recognised my virginity. Thus there is no reason today to entertain the thought that I was a cross dresser.
The darkness has chosen to create more division and confusion in society, funding both sides of the war, by radicalising both those in favour of cross dressing and their rights and those opposed to it wishing to maintain the status quo.
-such pity that these angry mobs do not recognise that they are merely being played as pawns, cannon fodder in a war for mind, body and soul, for blinded so they are.
Impatience, lack of understanding, lack of care, lack of love, lack of respect and tolerance on both sides is causing a polarisation and may widen a little further causing more division and distraction.
This polarisation that the darkness has created is being halted, even though the rise of extremism had already begun. It could have sent humanity plummeting back into what you have known as the dark ages. Common sense and the middle ground would have been lost to the rise of religious and political extremism.
We do however know that the wishes of the divine will be met and balance will be restored, Why do we know this? For without even the divine lifting a finger (figuratively speaking) these two groups will eventually be dismantled by their own volition because they are not living in the love energy, the frequency that is demanded and becoming stronger each day on mother earth. These angry mobs demanding their will be done, will have less and less emotional support that would give their cause sustenance and therefore they will have to rise up to mother earths frequency of love and state their case in this tone, or their cause is lost. People will be able once again live their lives how they choose with out fear or demonisation.
I advise not give the darkness the sustenance it needs, starve it of the publicity it desperately craves. Furthermore I advise not to entertain in any shape or form Television “programming “, news reports, sports events and music events and so forth that push unconditionally the dark sides agenda.
If I were on the earth plane this day, I would lead the charge of a collective energy that is of pure love diminishing the power the darkness has over the radicals and by doing so allow those who genuinely wish to cross dress, to live their lives in peace and freeing others from the grip of the dark one and his entourage.
The new battle front is media and I dare to say that I would once again if it pleased the divine be at the forefront of the battle, for our authentic voices are the new weaponry. Speaking out loud , boldly with courage, conviction and of course only in love frequency, I would gladly once again risk life and limb, but this time for humanity,
Love does not fear consequence, it does not fear ridicule and it does not fear injustice. Love only knows love.
I am Jeanne
