It Does Not Have to be Hard - Post #30

It Does Not Have to be Hard


It does not have to be hard, but why is it?  This is a question that I have asked many times since I started learning about transgender.  Now, I can honestly say, being transgender in itself is not typically hard, but by the way some people treat us for being transgender can be. One can expect strangers to treat us differently, but that is not where the pain comes from.  As a global moderator for a transgender support group, most of us have the same pain in common, we are mistreated and alienated by family members.  The very same people who we should be able to turn to for unconditional love and support, would rather disown us than face their prejudices towards transgender.  As we come close to the Christmas holiday, most of us have little to no family that wants to celebrate the holiday with us.  Regardless of the geography, there are families disowning their loved ones for having a medical diagnoses.  This is not to say that these people mean to hurt their transgender family members, but it is happening on a global level.  The statistics keep running through my head on how many transgender people attempt suicide every year, not because they are transgender, but because of the way they are treated socially.  As a Christian Minister I have way to many suicides come across my desk, and the holiday season is always the worse time; and with the pandemic, God Help us. If only more people could get past their fear of the unknown and educate themselves on what Transgender / Gender Dysphoria is, just maybe there would be more compassion in the world.  After all, every single person in the world is different in many different ways, and there are many different abnormalities and diversities that exist.  If you are a person who knows a transgender person, please do not be another factor of pain in that person's life.  If you are transgender, Big Hugs, you were created special in many ways.

It does NOT have to be hard.

Love and Hugs,

Jade

Why does it Matter? - Post #51

  Why does it Matter?      With all the politics and social pressure now regarding Transgender people, it makes my wonder, "Why does it Matter?"  I knew I was transgender in 2018, but the public didn't.  I was diagnosed with gender dysphoria making me transgender in the spring of 2020, but only a few people knew. I relocated to a small community in Indiana in the summer of 2020, but again only a few people knew.  Because they were short handed, I joined the local volunteer fire department in the fall of 2020, but no one knew I was transgender.  I started HRT in January of 2021, but only some knew.  I responded to countless fires and medicals, and the victims never asked or cared, but some fire fighters knew I was transgender and cared.  When I resigned, everyone knew.  Since then, a few have discriminated against me, but why?  Since the last election fewer people have supported me.  So many assume my political positions....

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 ...

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...
