A study in courage. Please don’t be offended. I know that we all hear that line from the few cis people who support us, but I have personal experience with it, so it’s a genuine statement.

I transitioned in 1993, in San Diego, and moved back to North Carolina in 1998.

I was lucky enough to be 100% “passing” by 1995. This pic is 1995, 37 y/o;

My mother never stopped loving me. She was only concerned that someone might hurt me. She passed away in 2015, of Alzheimer’s.

I lost all of the rest of my family. I lost all of my friends.

I’m making new friends now, almost every day. There was a bit of a setback a few years ago, when I decided to come out in support of my trans sisters and brothers everywhere.

That was hard, losing people all over again. I comforted myself with the knowledge that it only separated the 'wheat from the chaff’. My real friends were shocked, but stuck by me.

I recently read a book that solidified my self-respect and my determination to live the life I deserve. It’s entitled, Untamed, by Glennon Doyle.

My favorite, 'hard, but fair’, quote from it is, “I’m willing to lose as many people as it takes, in order that I never again lose myself.”

Set boundaries, don’t compromise your dignity.

Be kind. Be compassionate. Be unwilling to compromise your self-esteem.

Be classy, not loud or crude or crass.

Hold your head up!

Peace Love Kindness Respect the more you give the more you get 😍 start with yourself 😉 because you deserve it ❤️🙏🏼
