Protected By Law

    Today I want to talk about the importance of protecting the right to transition for individuals in the LGBTQ+ community. Transitioning is not just a medical process, but a deeply personal and often life-saving journey for many people. It is a pursuit of happiness, a fundamental human right that should be protected and respected by law.

    First and foremost, transitioning is about aligning one's physical body with their gender identity. For many transgender and non-binary individuals, this process is essential for their mental health and well-being. It allows them to live authentically and be true to themselves, which is crucial for their overall happiness and quality of life.

    Furthermore, transitioning is a form of self-expression and empowerment. It allows individuals to outwardly reflect who they truly are on the inside, and to live their lives in a way that feels genuine and fulfilling. By denying someone the right to transition, we are essentially denying them the right to be themselves and to pursue their own happiness.

    It is also important to recognize that transitioning is a deeply personal decision that should be made by the individual in consultation with medical professionals, therapists, and other experts. No one should have the right to dictate how someone else should live their life or express their gender identity.

    Protecting the right to transition by law is crucial for ensuring that individuals in the LGBTQ+ community are able to live free from discrimination and prejudice. It sends a powerful message that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their gender identity or expression.

    In conclusion, transitioning is a pursuit of happiness that should be protected and supported by law. It is a fundamental human right that allows individuals in the LGBTQ+ community to live authentically, express themselves freely, and pursue their own happiness. Let's work together to create a more accepting society where everyone can live their truth without fear or discrimination.

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...
