BUSY, BUSY

Life has been very busy for me the past two or three weeks. I have been keeping up (trying) with advancements of transgender people. With the failed measures in South Dakota and Minnesota, it demonstrates that there's more work to be done. In the coming weeks I will present article resources and comments on topics about and which affect the transgender community. I will continue to share about my ongoing journey.

My wife and I joined an affirming church this past Sunday. It's an affirming and open church for ALL. As far as I know I'm the only transgender person. Soon I will meet with the pastor and share my concerns and and that I'm transgender.

Attend Affirming Church

I attend an accepting church. My wife and I have become members as of yesterday. There were at least 3 gay couples and 5 or 6 lesbian couples. As far as I know I'm the only transgender person there. My wife and I feel comfortable and have made some friends.

I may speak with the pastor about my being transgender. I can honestly say that I feel comfortable about doing this. I'm also sensitive to my wife's feelings. She accepting of my dressing up to a point. Recently, for the first time, she walked beside me on the street while I was dressed. As you can small advances have made. I would make my day when I attend service dressed up.

Comfortable

I'm feeling more comfortable where I am in my neighborhood. I really like it here and hope to stay a long time. There's is an LGBT community here in Washington Heights though not all that visible. They are here. There's a gay club across the street from a bookstore I frequent. In November I will be going to SAGE events in Harlem. Time for Gennee to make her presence. I found an affirming church nearby in which my spouse and I will be attending. Things are looking up for us.
