Correspondance With A Radio Talk Show Host

Hi brothers and sisters in Christ

I recently came in contact with a Christian radio talk show host a couple of weeks ago. Wrote in to ask her what her views and opinions were on transexual Christians and why so many people are unaccepting of us. Her defense of course was that God created us with the gender we were given at birth physically. I explained to her my own personal views on the subject and experience and she does not understand and her latest email stated that I should die to the desire to acting like a woman and be a man that God created. I wrote back stated that I am a woman and not acting like one.

Anyhow I sent her some links that might give her more detail about transexualism and that we are human just like anyone else. She says she is interested in me since I wrote her so I will keep corresponding as I can.

Hugs,

Susan

I admire you in your efforts to explain how we feel but it is very difficult to change someone's mind when they believe that they are on God's side.

Love ya,

True... It's a no win with people like that.

I myself can't understand why people of this time and age believe is a myth such as God that was made from Humans trying to find a better understanding and control of life at the time.

But i do say to each there own.. And i just ask for the same, So it bugs me we people of faith shun others just for being who they are And some times they even wish death to them.. What a shame blind people like this make up our world.

Be a little bit careful there hun, but have fun with it. It will depend on the actual direction this person is coming from, and how great an "authority" they believe themselves to be. Just make sure she does not shake your personal faith, or try to browbeat you "with the Bible" to the point of abuse. We do not want to undermine another persons actual faith, just move them over onto a more solid footing of knowledge and acceptance of all people.

I have been getting mileage recently from the Gospel Of John where Jesus explains that a man was born blind not through sin of the man or his parents, but so that God's purpose could be shown on earth. What about our birth condition!!

I hate when people use this logic.....(not logic at all.....)

I often ask in return....

Why do you get a haircut? God gave you that hair and by cutting it off, you are rejecting God's gift.....

And how about those glasses and dental work......God gave you those eyes and teeth....why would you change what God has given you? If God wanted you to have 20/20 vision he would of made you that way......

*sigh*

I have not heard any more from her lately. Have decided to close correspondance with her though once she does write back. Will just politely tell her I have found my answer.

Omg DJ I have used these EXACT same lines of reasoning! ^ 5

Probably just as well, Susan. I highly doubt she would really "listen" to what you have to say. It is nearly impossible to reason with someone who's mind is already made up and sealed with concrete.

Belief systems are one element of many people's lives that they will fight not to change. Translation: it's admitting that they may be wrong.

There ARE very spiritually sincere people that can accept us. It is always worth the trouble to try to show everyone what we think is God's Will. Lord knows they will try to show us THEIR viewpoint! (Pun intended).

I told my sisters I talked with God (actually I use CREATOR) and asked Him why I am transsexual. He told me He made me that way, and did so for a purpose. My sisters replied that they believe from reading scripture that I am wrong. I replied. "Do I believe what you THINK is God's Will OR do I believe in what God told me DIRECTLY? They asked, "How do you know you talked to God?" I answered, "How do you know I did not?" That ended that conversation.

Unfortunately my sisters left unchanged. So even to this day I pray for the CREATOR to open their hearts and let them see the errors of their way.

Really? I am convinced 99% of our problems are we fail to listen - really listen' to what the CREATOR is saying to us. Instead we bemoan "WHY HAVE YOU NOT ANSWERED ME?" All we need instead is to be quiet, open our hearts and suddenly hear what is being said.

The Creator is there all the time - every microsecond of our life.

Oh yea - forgot to mention this - the Creator would not say WHY I was created this way, dang it! I could sense a big ole smile - a 'you gotta figure that out!" kinda smile.

Maybe it is to simply to be here writing this right now... I just donno.... but it makes me smile too, to think on it..

Amen Lizzy! I hear what you are saying. God created me to be transexual for a reason as well and I am glad he did. I kind of think of myself as an Angel of God on a mission. My correspondance with the talk show host ended last week. She just is not willing to open her heart. It is ok, God knows my heart and it is open, caring and understanding.

Happy Palm Sunday.

Hugs,

Susan

      Aww, shucks! Thank you, @Ashley0616 and @Timi! I find taking a picture of myself so difficult.

      You're pretty! It's nice to see a face.

      I'm very glad that everything worked out even better than you thought. It's a tough spot to be in and I know the exact feelings. I'm still waiting to apply for divorce under abandonment so I officially can meet someone who one day I can call someone my prince or my queen. Although the desire for someone is fading because of everything. it's even more amazing that she was your high school sweetheart! Looking forward to the next entry.

      Awww thanks for listening everyone. I have another 5-6 songs in this style that I started recording at the same time, so hopefully I’ll finish the next release soon.   Yes, exactly. Everything was easier about this project, mainly because it felt authentic. The energy was very different, because it was such a pleasure to express myself without a filter. I laughed a lot.

      Thanks for listening @Mmindy.   You’re welcome @April Marie. I think Sally Can’t Dance is an underrated album.

      Well I had an interview with the local Ford Dealership for an opening in the parts dept. It sounded positive. I was told I would here by tomorrow morning.    Other than that just sticking around the house. I haven't done much, the weather is cold and yucky. Doesn't look like good weather till Sunday. Maybe tomorrow I'll fire up the heater in the garage and see about getting the other brake hose put on the Explorer.   Have a good rest of your day/evening.   Hugs, Kymmie

      Maybe they called me he/him at the dealership because I completely forgot my mascara! Eyeliner without mascara…a bold new trend among the helplessly lost! :)   Fixed that!

      Ah. Email from Gibson. [it was actually less legible than this, as he didn't use punctuation, it was all caps, and he ran all his words together. Taylor was used to it.   T - As everyone was under my super. this last year, don't worry about the evals. I will handle it. Send all email about new proposals to me, your unit handles work under way.  You will be involved but the first step is those go to me. Thanks   Here is an outline of what questions I want to see answered tomorrow.  Feel free to just jot down your thoughts.  If you don't know, say so and maybe point to how we can find that out............   Your new position will seem very challenging for a while but I am sure you can handle it.  Everyone has the utmost confidence in you.   PS your performance evaluation will be stellar, as reflected in your new position and compensation.  You get 100. One less thing to worry about.   Taylor sent him 45 emails right after that, gave some thought to the questions, and then had to turn to one of the proposals under way and review it.  That done, she read through the personnel files on her people so she would better understand them and what they could do. There was a very thin folder with her name on it.  It had one piece of paper on it. On it was written "the best!".  The others were thicker but didn't take long either, and she returned to answering the questions.

      Post 5 “Coming out to My Significant Other”   My wife and I were high school sweethearts and after 40 plus years of marriage we are still soulmates.  Yes, I consider myself lucky, but we also worked hard to stay sweethearts, and my transgender nature was one of the things that required a lot of hard work to reconcile.    Back when I realized she was the girl I was going to marry, I was still struggling with gender identity, and up to that point I had kept this guarded secret from her.  I wondered how I was going to tell her, and I pondered the timing.  I had already decided she needed to know before I would feel comfortable asking her to marry me.  I was absolutely terrified that when she learned about my gender identity issues, it would scare her off.  Despite my deep concern, I just knew in my heart, I couldn’t keep the truth from her.   In my case, I never thought a relationship with a girl, or marriage to a girl would somehow cure my gender dysphoria.  In fact, the blossoming of our relationship didn’t mute or minimize my gender confusion one bit, so my desire to keep dressing like a girl remained strong.  I actually considered not telling her at all, but I already knew this wasn’t a passing phase, so kicking the proverbial can down the road didn’t make sense to me.    Since I was committed to revealing my secret, I pondered how to initiate the conversation?  Obviously, I would tell her that I enjoyed dressing and looking like a girl, so part of the conversation would be about crossdressing.  The fact that I cross-dressed was the easier part of the conversation and it would make clear to her what I was doing, but the harder part would be explaining why; because, at that time in my life, I had no idea why I was feeling like I was a girl.  Still, I felt a partial explanation was better than none at all and if she could accept the crossdressing part initially, maybe she and I could explore the deeper meaning, together.    Telling my fiancé I was a crossdresser seemed the simplest explanation at the time.  All that remained was the timing and this is when a situation arose that I hoped would be the perfect setup for my big reveal.  She and I were going to a friend’s party, and on the weekend it was to take place, my fiancé’s parents were out of town.  I casually mentioned that I thought it would be a “goof” to show up at the party dressed like a girl.  Much to my joy and surprise, she thought it was a super idea.  In fact, her enthusiasm for the idea was more than I could have hoped for.  With her parents out of town, we had her house to use for my transformation.    At the time, I had my own stash of girl’s clothing, but admitting to this would have revealed too much.  Besides, she had already started planning my wardrobe for me and I was certain her efforts would be much better than anything my feeble stash might result in.  I couldn’t have been more correct and after she dressed me and did my makeup, I looked more like a girl than I ever had before.  In fact, my new appearance was so striking, I could barely contain my joy.  Of course, this was supposed to be a “goof” so, I did my level best to hide the excitement I was feeling inside.  While I was elated being dressed and out in public, I was absolutely terrified at the same time.  Consequently, showing up at the party was a lot more difficult for me than I had imagined.  Ultimately, everyone got a big kick out of me, and that did help to relax me a little.  However, I had vowed to come clean to my fiancé at some point during the evening, so I remained uncomfortably anxious.   Later, and after a few drinks, I had mustered up the courage to reveal my secret to my future wife.  I pulled her aside and had her follow me to a quiet room upstairs.  Alone together, I began trying to explain my feelings, which as I recall revolved mostly around my desire to dress like a girl.  I did tell her my feelings were more complex, but I think she latched onto the fact that I was a guy who enjoyed looking like a girl on occasion.  I was extremely emotional as we talked, but she comforted me and told me it didn’t change her feelings for me.   I have to say having that conversation with my fiancé that night was the best decision I ever made.  It ensured we would face the future together without secrets or deceit. I know it strengthened our relationship. Of course, my wife really didn’t have any idea what she was signing up for when she agreed to support my transgender nature.  It would be like riding a roller coaster, lots of ups and quite a few downs, but the fact that she knew about me before we got married, made the ride a lot smoother than it could have been.   Hugs,   Sally
