CANADA DAY

 To all my Canadian friends

SUMMARY

On this last day of Pride Month, I am grateful for the wonderful experiences. The parade was vibrant with mostly young people in attendance. I just took in the vibes of the music as floats and marchers paraded by.

Another year has passed. Next year is coming. I watched marches in other cities. A few banned parades, but the show went on. Good for them! Many anti-trans were introduced and defeated.

It was a year of trials and tribulations. People stood up against those who want to erase us. It has been a year of resilience. This septugenarian is happy and celibrate this year..

HAPPY PRIDE!

JULY IS HERE

 

HAPPY PRIDE

 

COMMENTARY

 

This year I invested more time reflecting on my trans journey. In my nearly 21 years, it has been a strange and wonderful trip. In the early years, I wondered if this was right. Reconciling my Christian faith with my being transgender was a challenge. In the end I was able to it, with God's help.

Passing was never my goal. I just wanted to live a quiet and normal life enjoying the things I always did. The question of why I believed that I was differen has been answered. I am at peace with being transgender. 

I am coming out every day. Someone who is walking around struggling with their gender could be watching me. A few years ago someone I know came out as bisexual. She shared that by my being out, it made it easier for her. 

I willy be going to the pride march tomorrow as a spectator. I will celebrate in my quiet way feeling the vibes of a journey that has been a joy.
