What happens when a person discovers that they aren’t what they thought
they were? What do they do when the time
comes to make the decision to accept their real identity?
Many men and women erroneous thought that they could pray the gay away.
Some thought that it was ridiculous that they were more interested in the
habits and manners of the opposite gender. Some marry and have children
thinking that just need a good mate to take away the urges they have. Men join
the army to become ‘real men’. Women become engrossed in womanly pursuits to
prove that they are women.
The day comes when they can no longer keep in who they are. Now they
have to decide which it is that they desire to be. As I write this, I’m sure
there are men, women, boys, and girls who are tired of hiding. They just want
to be authentic. If only society and their family and friends would understand.
Thankfully many have come out of hiding. It was a grand day when I came
out as transgender. Every day many people reveal their true identity to the
world. I pray that those folks who are struggling will see that they are
created exactly as they are. They have nothing to be ashamed of. They needn’t
feel guilty or ashamed. They have the right to be who they are.
