One Example of Transphobia We Face - Blog #16

 



The above text was from a meme that a Facebook friend shared.  I do not believe this person is a bad person, just mislead and socially programmed in transphobia.   The following is my answer.  My hope and prayer is that by teaching awareness will help teach awareness, and prevent further discrimination and violance. 

My Response: 

"What about women who are born with those famous chromosomes, but are infertile from a birth abnormality, are they still female? Another example: If a person was born with a facial abnormality, would it be okay if that person had facial surgery for the sake of the person's mental health and development? If so, why is it not okay for transgender persons to do the same? Transgender (gender dysphoria) is not a new development, but it is fairly new in teaching public awareness. Here's some statistics: 1 out of 2000 persons in the United States are born with both sexes...who are they? 1/2 of 1% of all persons in the United States are born transgender. For those who do not know, transgender is developed at the same time sexual organs start to develop at about 2 weeks after conception, except physical and mental development does not match each other.  Also, all of us are originally created female, unless changes during that time occur. Another thought, 60-70% of all Transgender persons will be physically assaulted because they are transgender, 40% of transgender persons will attempt suicide because of social pressure of transphobia, while 20% will succeed. If those of us who are involuntarily born transgender and suffer from gender dysphoria, which is a birth abnormality, why are we less human/real than other abnormalities. Just because some do not understand transgender, it does not mean it is not real. Transgender is not contagious, so why do some need to be negative towards us?"

Hope and Prayers this will change some day.

Hugs,
Jade

Friendly Advice for Parents - Post 50

 Friendly Advice for Parents "My child is transgender, now what?" As a parent, I believe I can imagine what most parents may think or even feel when discovering their child being transgender.  If you were brought up like I was, you may be conservative or have conservative concerns. I am familiar with how religious beliefs or even basic biology knowledge dictate how some view the topic.  It is not my intention to say who is right or who is wrong; but I would like to ask if you are struggling with such issues, please ask yourself if you love your child.  If love comes to your heart first, not only do I believe you can overcome these issues, but also discover a very special relationship between you and your child that you cannot even imagine.   I remember growing up wanting to be physically who I was inside; but because of my conservative upbringing, that was not an option.  I remember hearing my father explain on many occasions that he wanted a daug...

SEX - THE TOPIC - POST #31

 SEX- THE TOPIC SEX, the topic that all of us transgender people cannot avoid. "Normally", one's sex life is no one else's business, but apparently for transgender people our romantic life is open for everyone to question?  I can understand one's curiosity, but the boldness so many has towards us amazes me.  Believe it or not, a lot of people actually want to know how my wife and I have sex.. OMG.  My response is oftentimes want to ask them the same question.  Do people really take a moment to consider such a question before they ask it?...there's a thought. SPOILER ALERT:  We don't.  Most  "transgender people" have little if not no sex life.  So, these erotic fantasies of us "trans" is not a reality.  So all these "She/male, Tranny" common beliefs is fictional.   FACT: Those of us who are on HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) and MTF (Male to Female), the hormones over-rides our sexual performance, which means we cannot do it ...

UPDATE: Me and the World, Post #41

7-30-22 It has almost been 2 months since my last post.  Even though I have no regret in transitioning, I have been dealing with a lot of things; and I needed some time to process them.  Besides dealing with and trying to recover from all of my seizure activity, I have been dealing with a major stressor since the beginning of this year. Because of pending criminal charges on someone who I once trusted, I have not been able to go public with this information until recently.  Like this blog, it has taken me a lot of courage to share this.  So, here it is: This past January, I was sexually battered by who I thought was a friend and fellow minister, which made me a transgender statistic.  Unfortunately, some people are not who they appear and some of us pay the price.  Not only did I carry all the emotions of shame, embarrassment, anxiety and much more, each monthly court date was an emotional roller coaster.  Fortunately, this person was recently convicte...
