Celebrating Trans Joy at Christmas

     Christmas is a time of joy, love, and togetherness. For many transgender individuals, it can also be a time of reflection and celebration of our unique journeys. As we gather with loved ones and embrace the festive spirit, let's take a moment to honor our authentic selves and the strength it takes to live our truth.

    The holiday season is a perfect opportunity to celebrate the courage and resilience that comes with being transgender. Each of us has faced challenges and triumphs on our journey to self-discovery, and Christmas is a time to acknowledge and honor those experiences. Whether you're spending the holidays with family, friends, or chosen family, remember that your identity is a beautiful and integral part of who you are.

    As we celebrate Christmas, let's create inclusive traditions that reflect our diverse identities. This could mean incorporating symbols and decorations that represent the transgender community, such as the transgender pride flag or colors. It could also involve sharing stories and experiences that highlight the importance of acceptance and love.

    Christmas is a time for giving and spreading love. As trans advocates, we have the power to foster acceptance and understanding within our communities. Use this season to educate others about transgender issues, share resources, and promote inclusivity. By doing so, we can create a more supportive and loving environment for all.

    Take a moment during the holiday season to reflect on your personal journey. Celebrate the milestones you've achieved, the obstacles you've overcome, and the growth you've experienced. Remember that your journey is unique and valuable, and it's something to be proud of.

    The transgender community is a source of strength and support. Reach out to fellow trans individuals and offer your love and encouragement. Whether it's through a heartfelt message, a thoughtful gift, or simply spending time together, showing support can make a significant difference.

    This Christmas, let's celebrate the beauty of being transgender. Embrace your true self, create inclusive traditions, spread love and acceptance, reflect on your journey, and support each other. Together, we can make this holiday season a time of joy, love, and empowerment.

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...
