Q & A

 Questions & Answers

1.  Q: What is Transgender?
     A:  "Assigning someone's sex is based on biology -- chromosomes, anatomy, and hormones. But a person's gender identity -- the inner sense of being male, female, or both -- doesn't always match their biology. Transgender people say they were assigned a sex that isn't true to who they are.", WebMD.com

2.  Q:  What is the differences between Sex and Gender?
     A:  "People tend to shy away from this question. The answer is often murky, and different people will have their own definitions of sex and gender. It’s about as simple as comparing an apple and a car.  Sex, gender, and sexual orientation are all part of the formula that helps you identify who you are. But they aren’t as concrete as you might think. ", WebMD.com

3.  Q:  What is Gender Dysphoria?
     A:  "The term “transgender” refers to a person whose sex assigned at birth (i.e. the sex assigned by a physician at birth, usually based on external genitalia) does not match their gender identity (i.e., one’s psychological sense of their gender). Some people who are transgender will experience “gender dysphoria,” which refers to psychological distress that results from an incongruence between one’s sex assigned at birth and one’s gender identity. Though gender dysphoria often begins in childhood, some people may not experience it until after puberty or much later",psychiatry.org.

4.  Q:  What is the cause of Gender Dysphoria? 
     A:  "Recent studies now suggest gender dysphoria is inherently biological, originating from how gender identity develops from birth. Therefore, gender dysphoria isn’t a mental illness.  As mentioned, gender dysphoria may develop from disparities in how a child’s gender identity develops from birth. Most of a child’s gender identity develops happens in the womb or uterus", healthresearchfunding.org.

5.  Q:  What is the treatment for Gender Dysphoria?
     A:

6.  Q:  Does being Transgender go against God?
     A:  Believe it or not, the biggest hate I receive is from people who claim I am going against God, which includes family members. I know who I am, I always knew I was different; but how can being Transgender not a sin? Perhaps, it is because most people truly do not know what transgender is, and they are unintentionally taking the scripture out of context. The following link is a well articulated explanation in why Transgender is NOT a sin.

7.  Q:  What rights do Transgender people have?

8.  Q: Can Transgender be supported by Biology?  
     A:  This is a question that I have been asked and challenged with by those who are looking for a reason not to accept transgender as being legitimate. So, is there Biology to support transgender?  Yes, neurobiology.  Yes, neurobiology is real a real science. Not only is transgender biological, but also gender, sexual orientation and physical sex does not always match, which is the basic principal of what transgender is.  The following is link is a in depth scientific explanation published by the US National Library of Medicine:

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...
