SPIRTUAL AFFIRMATION

It was about this time in 2008 that I first entered a church dressed in women's clothing. At the time, I was trying to reconcile my Christian faith with my being transgender.

I came here one day to pray and meditate. I had forgotten that there was a midday service, so I decided to stay. During the passing of the peace, people acknowledged me as a part of Christ's community. There were no disparaging looks or comments.

Whe I entered the church, it felt right. I was affirming myself as a transgender woman. This act of confession would lead to an epiphany that would happen a few months later.

Holy Cross Church is in the Times Square area of New York City. It's amazing that God would lead me to a place in a area were vice came easy and cheap. It showed me that good things can happen in unusual places. This church holds a special in my heart ❤ . My journey could have turned out different if I hadn't come here on that summer day.

A POINT TO REMEMBER

The LGBTQIA+ is not a monolithic voting bloc. There are numerous political persuasions.

COMING UP ON TWENTY YEARS

I have thought much about where my life as a transperson has taken me. It's been twenty years (July 26) since I transitioned. Though I haven't had surgery or taken hormones, I identify as trans and view myself that way.

There are those parties who seexe me as an abomination. I didn't 't decide to be transgender; it just moved in that direction. I had no control over it. I was concerned if my Christian faith and being transgender were compatible. One day I prayed about it and received God's affirmation and confirmation.

I have met some wonderful people over the years who I consider to be friends. Most likely I would have never met them if I wasn't transgender. Their stories and experiences I take to heart.

As the journey continues I am looking forward to the future. In spite of what outside forces are doing to erase ouexexistence, I will continue to be who I am.
