Time to Live in Peace, post #26


     With a lot of new positive developments and adjustments, it has been a little while since my last Blog.  For me, my life is currently feeling surreal. After over 50 years, I am now finally able to live as my authentic self.  It has almost been a year since I disclosed to the world of who I really am, and what a journey it has been.  Being able to live as who I am is something I have been missing.  Since the beginning of my transitioning, I have discovered a level of peace and happiness that I never knew was possible. Last year, I was scared to death, now I am Happy.  Even though my name was legally changed almost 3 months ago, the reality is finally setting in.  This morning I woke up with no anxiety, no depression, with little worries, a combination that I have not felt in many years.  Actually, I do not believe I have ever felt this level of peace and happiness.  

    So, what is next?  It is time to live in peace.  This is not to say I will not face future challenges; but it is time to no longer live in fear of what might happen.  It is time to live for today and be excited about tomorrow.  What I cherish the most is, all the support I have received by so many, a value that means the world to me.  I cannot help but feel, if I can discover true happiness and peace, anyone can; and I wish the same success for everyone.  Until next time...

Big 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...
