GENEVIEVE'S GEMS

Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.

~Oliver Goldsmith, Poet (1730-1774)

STANDING UP

 A decade ago I said that transgender people needed to share their own stories. Now trans people are not only sharing their stories. We are taking to task those who will try to silence us or making our existence irrelevant. 

When I came out years ago I made up my mind to live openly. I will tell anybody that we transpeople were the ones who began the liberation movement for LGBTQ+ people. No one can deny this or take away that fact.

GENEVIEVE'S GEMS

All human beings deserve equal treatment, no matter their gender identity or sexuality.  

~Andreja Pejic

JOURNEYS ARE VARIED

 Each trans person's journey s uniquely their own.

GENEVIEVE'S GEMS

Love who you are, embrace who you are. Love yourself. When you love yourself, people can kind of pick up on that: they can see confidence, they can see self-esteem, and naturally, people gravitate towards you. 

~Lilly Singh

GENEVIEVE'S GEMS

What people call impartiality may simply mean indifference, and what people call partiality may simply mean mental activity.

~Gilbert K. Chesterton, Writer (1874-1936)

I AM WHAT I SAY I AM

 

TIME FOR PAUSE

 I am curious to see how all the anti-trans bills will proceed. While some have passed, others have not. Others, legislators and administrators are taking pause. I pray they realize that these bills will cause more problems. For the people who are targeted. For the community. For the cost to the taxpayer. Above all, for the needless suffering trans people will endure. 

What concerns me is the people who use God and the Bible to justify their biases. I have been a Christian for over half my life. Nowhere does Jesus condemn or trash others because they are different. NOWHERE! 

I pray that the people will see these bills as evil and wrong. More parents are standing and accepting their trans children. BRAVO! I trust that those in power will see us as loving human beings who want to live happy and productive lives.
