Exploring Native American heritage

Currently, I am reading a book named 'Queering Creole Spiritual Traditions:Lesbian,Gay,Bisexual, and Transgender Participation in African-Inspired Traditions in the Americas'. I am African-American and have Native-American ancestry (Choctaw). I rememvber when my parents revealed to me as a boy that I have Native-American blood., I was very proud.

From time to time over the years, I would read about Choctaw Indians in the Americas. They are principally in the southeast section of the US. Since I am exploring my transgender identity more, I want to know if any of my relatives were transgender. I thimk that this may be a fulfilling of some Indian prphecy. I have always loved nature and the natural sounds of nature.

I have felt for many years that I was different. Coming out as transgender has completed and liberated me as a person. I seek a deeper meaning as to what this means and what my purpose is in this prophecy. I will contiinue to read this book and glean some things that may help in my discovery.

Make Yourself Seen and Heard

With pride events happening this month (and summer) all over the world, I hope that we attend and support them. Transgenders have made some progress this year and more needs to be done. I am meeting more transgender people in my circle. One of the volunteers who is with the same organization I'm with is a transsexual of many years. Yesterday, I saw a transgender woman near city hall. We're everywhere and the world is getting smaller.

I will be marching in the pride parade here in New York City. I will represent the American Veterans for Equal Rights. I'm excited about it. I hope that more transgender people will partake in the march because not showing ourselves at these events is often leveled at us, and rightfully so. I'm dress quite a lot these days. I'm wearing a suit now because I'm job hunting but soon as I get home, off goes the suit and tie. On goes the skirt and cami.

I am considering a lot of options for the future. Starting an online business and a non profit organization are just a couple of them. I'll be busy as ever.

Transgender woman

Today, I made a personal declaration that I am a transgender woman. I recognized that the transgender label fit me three years ago. I have mentioned it in past but today I wish to make a public statement of what I actually feel inside. It is another threshhold I have come and have passed.
