I treat others the way I want to be treated. No one can tell me that they love all people and hate on others who are different. As a person of color who 8s transgender and Christian, I know 9thering rather well.

VICTORY!
In a reversal of one of Donald Trump's initiatives, the rainbow Pride flag can fly in the Stonewall Monument in New York City once again. Three cheers to the folks who were active in this reversal, dealing a blow to the Trump administration's attempt to erase transgender people's existence and influence in society.

LIVING OPENLY
Just living life unfettered by societal expectations is priceless. When I transitioning over twenty years ago, this was what I wanted. Passing was not important to me.
Today on the day after TDOV. I press on being the best person that I can be. I am comfortable with who I am.

COMMENTARY
Today my wife and I talked about the people in our lives who have passed away. Our sisters, parents, friends, acquaintances. So many people that we we miss. They were part of our lives for alloted amount of time.
Such is life's journey. We listen to our mentors, develop friendships, and part of each other's lives. Then we move on. New lives, New places, New transitions. It's amazing that some of the lessons we were taught we are now comprehending after many years. Timing is/was right.
We are passing down our wisdom to younger generations. Perhaps they may not comprehend what we are saying at this time. That day will come at an appointed time. I'm greatful for the folks who blessed and touched us in so many ways.

BAD NEWS FROM KANSAS
Kansas has sent letters to trans people demanding they surrender their driver's licenses.

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.

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.

ROAD LESS TRAVELED
Many times I traveled on roads not many, if any, have trekked. Sometimes, I have no choice. Other times. I went against prevailing conventions. Just like life, I needed to chart my own course.
Folks may not understand why I chose this direction but it's the road that I must travel. I became a born again Christian in the 1970s and transitioned in 2005. Two totally different roads which have tremendously impacted my life.
I have tended to go on the offbeat track. I am quirky at times, like weird people and activities. Looking back these things were part of my life course. Looking ahead, I'm seeking more paths that have never been trekked.

ANOTHER GEM
I wonder what more we could have discovered if Magnus Hirschfeld's work had survived the Nazi purge
