It's Just a Thing

    You may have noticed that I've done some writing concerning political issues; especially concerning those surrounding the trans community.  But, also, concerning tyranny and fascism.  While I agree that a country should have a strong moral foundation, I disagree with the notion that being LGBTQ+ is immoral.  Neither is it a mental illness!  We are who we are, and although we differ from what you've been told is "normal", we're usually good people.  By the way, "normal" does not mean right.  Normal does not mean sane.  It does not mean just!  After all, there are many wrongful, ill-tempered lunatics out there who are "straight".  Normal, in this context, simply means "majoritive".  Now, spell-check tells me that's not a word.  (Fuck you, spell-check!)
    For the most part, LGBTQ+ members care deeply.  Most of us (I mean, when we're not having to fend off the straight-hate and the "im"moral majority) tend to be nice and pleasant people.  If the hetero crowd would just spend time with us, without being preachy and judgmental, you would realize that on average, we're just as good as many of you... and better than some of you.  I'm sorry you were taught to be biased against my community but, regardless of who taught it to you, or where the idea came from, you were taught natural human bias.  Nothing more.  I don't expect you to believe that, though.  Mark Twain is credited with saying, "it's easier to fool someone, than to convince them they've been fooled."  *It has not been proven that he actually said that.
    Now, for those of you who may have missed it:  I'm trans.  I am currently undergoing Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), and my breasts are developing rather nicely.  I'm sure some of you are thinking my mind is slipping with age, or that it has been warped from having had such a terrible bout with COVID a couple of years ago.  But, no... my mind is no less sound than ever.  But, I've come to realize that life is passing me by, and I would just like to live the rest of my time, outwardly, with the femininity that my soul experiences every single day and I have had to hide for a lifetime.  I'm not asking you to be happy for me, and I don't care if you accept it, or not.  I just want it to be known that I'm not hiding a damn thing!

Truth and Lies: Facts and Fictions About Being Transgender

      When I came out as a trans woman, I was met with love by some, confusion by others, and silence by many.  I realized quickly that many people don't understand what it means to be transgender - and worse, they're often misled by myths that do real harm.     So, I'd like to set the record straight.  Here's a list of common statements made about trans people - some true, some false - and why it matters to get them right. Trans people choose to be trans. False:  Being trans isn't a lifestyle or phase - it's who we are.  No one chooses their gender identity any more than they choose their hair color. Gender identity is the same as sexual orientation. False:  Gender identity is about who you are.  Sexual orientation is about who you're attracted to.  They're separate, and both are valid. Trans people can be straight, gay, bi, or anything else. True:  just like anyone else, trans people have diverse sexual orientations....

Blessed Are the Builders: A Call to Heal the Faith of Our LGBTQ+ Family

“ If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble...” Christ gave a stark warning of retribution and, yet, churches, filled with self-righteous pseudo-Christians, weaponize scripture like stone, bruising souls, rather than healing them, in the name of holiness. I have always believed that ones faith is the sanctuary of their soul. But sanctuaries have become battlegrounds because, somewhere along the way, the Body of Christ mistook uniformity for unity and created theology that wounds the very souls it should be healing. Especially when those souls are LGBTQ+. The harm didn't come from God – it came from those who spoke wrongfully in His name without knowing, or understanding, His heart. What if churches cause individuals to stumble? Romans 14:13 urges us not to set stumbling blocks in the paths of others. “Let us not therefore judge one another anymore; but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother'...

The Perfect Storm

       Several years ago, my oldest daughter got engaged to be married.  One evening, she called me so that her fiance could properly ask the father of the bride-to-be for permission to marry his intended.  That impressed me!  I thought good breeding was a thing of the past.  It didn't matter to me that he's Mexican-American in the truest sense (meaning he was born in Mexico, immigrated to the U.S. at the age of five, and is a legally naturalized American citizen).  What mattered is that he and my daughter were, and are still, in love.  I know that according to the ultra-liberal mindset, I'm supposed to be a racist because I'm White.  But, racism isn't a White problem; it's a human problem.  I think I'll write a post in the future covering nonsensical ideologies such as the Liberal mindset, the Conservative mindset, binary genderism, etc...  For now, however, I digress.     In the months that followed, my da...
