HERE TO STAY

Transgender exist no matter what obstacles are put in front of us. We have overcame much. We have survived and thrived. There's more that needs to be done.

I will not shrink myself because some folks feel uncomfortable. If someone has questions about me I will gladly answer them. Putting the ball in the opposition's court changes the dynamic of the conversation.

OLYMPIC CHAMPIONS

 

Congratulations to the men's and women's teams winning gold medals.

LIFE'S JOURNEYS

There are times that I reflect on my life experiences. I ask myself why did I experience this? Why did I not go to that place? Were these experiences a part of my transition?

I remember one occasion in 2010 when I was in the East Village sitting in a courtyard of a church. Memories of all my life experiences flooded into my mind. The books that I read, the first time I attended church dressed  in women's clothing, the people who would become my friends. Alas, I understood that life's journey took me to places I never would have gone.

What helped me was that I was compelled to move forward despite my fears. It was also my knack of being drawn to unusual people and places. I concluded that this was the plan for my life.

Now in my late seventies,  I seek new horizons. I cherish the moments I'm currently in. The free spirit in me must trek on. I'm excited about life will present to me.

3000

 This is my 3000th post.

I started this blog back in 2005. It was during a time when my gender issues. Just writing down my feelings was therapeutic. It brought me closer to my transformation as a transgender person. 

I have shared many topics both relating to gender and non gender topics. I gradually added resources that may be helpful to many. This blog is my contribution to the movement. It has been quite a journey.
