Hiya :)

I didn't know where to ask this question but I'm curious does anyone have a song, artist, or lyric that has given you strength and confidence to be who you want to be?

For me it's Bon Jovi songs cause Jon & Richie always right amazing lyrics, for example,

"When the world gets in my face I say - have a nice day ;)"

and another song is Joan Jett - Androgynous

anyway you can share anything music or fictional characters basically who gives you strength?

Well my fav band is My Chemical Romance... with lyrics such as "and through it all, the rise and fall. the bodies in the street. and when we're gone we want you all to know that we'll carry on." or "I am not afraid to keep on living. I am not afraid to walk this road alone" I could go on for days! :P

but I listen to almost anything... Brandon Heath has a song called 'Give me your eyes'. Its a great song about someone wanting to see the world through God's eyes. Most christian or positive alternative gives me the motivation to do a lot of things in my life.

Ummm... the only movie (and its not even a movie) thats at all inspirational to me is the "Life on the Murder Scene" DVD by MCR. It really just shows that no matter what, through all the good and bad in your life, that you can do the impossible and be who you want. Mind you they wanted to be in a band and to get their message to kids and I just want to be a guy but its the same in context. :P

hehe enough bout me....

Finally I found someone who likes Iced Earth, I was beginning to think no one listened to them, and that is a great song.

I would have to say for inspiration

Avenged Sevenfold- Seize the Day

Sick Puppies- Your going down

Slipknot- People = nuts

Asian Kung FU Generation- Rewrite

Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts- Call Me, Call me

that's a few of the good ones

I've heard that Shania Song... Toby keith is also a great inspirational artist.

What do you mean grayer? If you mean yourself, no way. If you mean the songs... you can't get much grayer than AC/DC in popular music today (unless you say the Beatles of course.)

      Hi, Riya and welcome to the forums!! You find lots of veterans here and many of us are in fairly early stages of transitioning. Ask questions, and jump in wherever you feel comfortable adding to the discussion.

      I've been fortunate in growing my hair out. I had a few thinner spots - typical spots - but have been using Hims' hair growth treatment for about 6 months now and it had made a tremendous difference. I'm not sure how long I'll let it grow but I've been thrilled with how it's turning out.   Today I'm wearing this olive green high waisted 3/4 balloon sleeve midi dress with white sneakers.     I also received these today. Found them on eBay. I've been looking for a pair of brown riding boots but finding them in my size is hard and typically expensive. These were on end of season sale plus they gave me another 10% off so I ended up at about 40% of retail. They fit perfectly (12M). Unfortunately (or fortunately) boot season is over so I'll put them away until Fall.

      A little bit about myself. I am a veteran and college student. I’m here to align myself and to continue to grow. I myself so happen to be a transgender woman. This is as far as I have made it in transitioning. Looking forward to the future!

      Your brother is the person who has decided that "sin" is involved because he has lost control of a part of his life by you taking on your authentic self.  It is not because you have committed any Sin per se, but because he is no longer controlling your life, evangelicism or other wise.  He is using formula words and ideas hoping to re-gain that control over you.  Your Roman Catholicism vs. his choices of religion would be enough to do it in many many cases.  Your being Trans is just one more area of his losing his control.   If your brother were also Roman Catholic, I suspect he would be the same way about you on just the Trans issue itself no matter what your priests would tell him -- he has lost control of your life and is afraid he has lost control of his life.    Family members of any religion who fear loss of control will often cite scriptures they believe support their Position.  If Bible verses are needed, Matthew. 10:34-8 which speaks of division in families over religion would be a casual point directed at your brother's control issues.

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.
