The Unforeseen Blessing, #46

 The Unforeseen Blessing

About two years ago, I started this blog with the hopes to teach awareness about the journey of being  transgender.  My hopes was by sharing my journey it may help others truly understand what transgender is; and just maybe it will help prevent some prejudices towards those of us who are created differently.  Little did I know or expect that I would receive such a positive feedback by so many.  Yes, it is nice to know that this blog has had over 3,100 views, but those are not the numbers that mean a lot to me.

One thing that has been occurring since I started to share my journey, I have had many people approach me online and in person seeking more support.  Some people have been cis-gender people wanting to learn more, but most of them have been transgender people who have also be been afraid to transition.  Lately, I have been having more and more people contact me seeking personal advice and questions regarding their transitioning journey.  Even though I am happy to help however I can with such questions, what has humbled me the most is is how some people have expressed their appreciation for my efforts.  More and more people are sharing their transitioning progress and wanting to thank me for supporting them.  I believe it is important to remember that many transgender people do not have much support, including by friends and family.  The sacrifice we make for our health and happiness can come with great costs; and politics, news and social media has not made things any easier for us.  So, it is nice to know that I have been able to contribute a little bit where the need for support is so great. 

At this time, I would like to not only thank all those who have been so supportive of me, but I would also like to thank all the people who have reached out to me for help.  Even though I am not a doctor or psychologist, friendly sharing and support can go a long ways.  My hope was that if I can just help one person, all this effort would be worth it.  Little did I know by helping others with this sensitive life saving topic would help so many, but by helping them also helps me.  For all of this, I will be eternally grateful. Thank you to all who have ever reached out to me.  Each of you have touched my heart in a very special way. Now, that I have transitioned and now legally living as my authentic self, I am looking forward to meeting and talking to more of you.  God willing, by supporting and educating one person at a time, our world will become more loving and less discriminatory in regards to one more topic.

Until next time, I wish you all the best wherever you lives journey takes you.

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...
