Anyone Home?
The problem is, I do care. In July this blog will be eleven years old and as of today 3,600 post. Interesting 3,516 days and 3,600 post.
My question - Are you going to just give up? Go back to the closet? Quake from fear and let the bigots win? Are you afraid to read, comment or let the world know who/what you are?
We exist and deserve the same rights as all. Nothing more, nothing less.
Transgender rights are human rights.
However, is our whole community so afraid they don't read Blogs any longer? Or Comment? Or follow?
Makes me question if I should care?
I think we are just stunned, so many things that seem impossible are now happening. Conversation is impossible with people that are unwilling to listen. Either you worship the orange god or you are wrong.
ReplyDeleteWe must keep our sanity, for me this means disconnecting for a while, give space to thinking.
I am not a citizen of the US, no vote, no congressperson to write. Posting in FB and Twitter is futile, again, you only get a few angry canned responses.
I have cosed my twitter account, again, need to keep my sanity, though times are coming
Thanks for your blog and posting, it does help
Somehow, watching the shitshow in the Oval yesterday has dampened my enthusiasm for my new heels. But that will pass... - J
ReplyDeleteI've been out in public as my feminine persona more often since January than in any previous year. I've contacted my congress people to vote against tRump appointees and initiatives and to vote against anti trans legislation. In April my spouse and I are planning a get together at our home for the trans people we are in contact with. What we need now, more than ever, is community. And engagement with the larger community. There is no upside to crawling away and hiding.

I'm still here and I care more now than ever! Lauren
ReplyDeleteI care. Yours is the 2nd blog I read every morning through my female framed glasses. Discovered you in the spring of 2014 and have been a faithful reader ever since. Even stumbled upon your submission to Ladylike magazine. Cute story about flying pretty. Probably not cute at the time, but thank you for sharing your experience.
ReplyDeleteI'm still just a guy in a dress and probably won't get to experience living that life because of a DADT relationship and it's obligations. I get to live it through you and others. I would miss your voice every morning and be sad if you weren't here. Please be here. Regards, Randi
I’ll be here forever. Tried to tell all the people vote blue.
ReplyDeleteLet's go us!
ReplyDeleteI marvel at the silence from the medical community that was so happy making $ on surgeries . And we too are basically silent as well or like Glennda saying vote blue and therefore turning off 50+% percent of the population that won't even listen to us.We should admit that those pushing TGwomen in girl's sports got us in this pickle along with screwy educators grooming kids in to thinking they are TG. We will continue getting pounded until that stuff stops as most people don't really care except for these issues. If you quizzed them this is so 1 sided that I bet 90% of the people don't even know that there are FtoM TG's.
ReplyDeleteWe need support from all sides of the political spectrum and that's how things get done-not in your face vote blue=emily
I have no intention of hiding or going back into the closet. If anything I will be more present to the world than I have ever been. Gays won their acceptance by showing the world they were just regular folks and we need to do the same thing. BTW, I love your blog and it is the first thing I read in the morning.
