"You are not Alone" - Blog #20

 You are not alone

The thought of being alone can be very scary.  I remember when I was diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria, my Neuropsychologist told me, "You are not alone".  Little did I know how True she was.  Because I knew I needed to transition for my health and peace, I was afraid.  Not only was I afraid and preparing to lose everyone in my life, I was also preparing to not having anyone else who can relate to who I am.  Honestly, when I was diagnosed as transgender with gender dysphoria, I did not know as much as I thought I did.  I thought with some medication and dressing differently was it, but it is so much more than that.  Since then, not only did I learn about the "real" science behind Transgender and Gender Dysphoria, but I realized what it entails, and that I am not alone.  I am not only not alone with with friends and family, but there are many people like me in the world, and there are a lot of resources for us. Recently, I have shared some posts that explained some of the negativity that us Transgender persons face, but there is so much positive experiences out there for us.  Even though it may not feel this way at times, but I believe most people either do not care who we are, or they are supportive in our challenges.  In other words, no more time for the "haters", just the positive.  During this past year, I have been able to validate who really supports me, while also meeting new supporters.  Plus, I have had the privilege of meeting online and in person other Transgender persons, and I value each one of them.  It is easy to live in fear, but being positive is where we all find peace and happiness.  So, instead of living in fear, I now chose Happiness.  It has been less than a year since I told the world who I really am; and since then I have started HRT and have been living my life as my authentic self.  Has it been easy, not always, but I am glad that I found the courage to take the steps in being me.  With all this in mind, I am Grateful that I am Not Alone, and I wish this same Peace for everyone.

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...
