Some recent exchanges on Facebook got me thinking about some stuff that well, bothered me.....
I am an out and proud genderqueer Transman. I am married to a very out and proud bisexual woman. I am a devoutly religious UU, and working on becoming the very best 'good man' I can be, because this is what my 5 y/o nephew expects me to be. I also have a lot of time to think and reflect, and my soul gets a bit bruised every time I see my life attacked. There is not a day that goes by that someone in the media, or on the campaign trail, or even on the streets are not assaulting and/or criticizing me and those I love. These feelings do not make me a victim, and I will not 'just let it go' or 'get over it', and picking and choosing where I visit and spend my money is not allowing the haters to win. My marriage is my marriage and does not affect anyone, I believe God loves us all and I live my life as such. I know we have come along way since Stonewall and yes especially in the past few years, but my time here is short and my patience waiting for equality is growing very thin. So please at times I need to vent w/o hearing well intentioned excuses and platitudes.
Thank you and good boating!!
You go. I'd rather read your musing than the Kardashian girls. Hugs.
