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.

Lizzy

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

      What are you wearing today?

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      I went to WM today with the objective of buying sandals: they would be women's, but look like men's; they would be brown or black, not white.  I realized the cheapest way to go  was to go for flip-flops, which I observed were prevalent in the store. So I checked out the women's.  Flowers. White shiny straps. Nothing that could possibly be men's. The best deal was one flip flop for $3.98.  At first I thought that was a pair, then, nope.  And because I comparison shop (is there the same thing in men's?) I found the cheapest over there was $6.98 for a pair of flip flops in green that also match my women's cargo shorts that I love.  Doing the math, finding the pink tax.  Rip off.  I have found a blue tax this way, but usually they charge women more for something than they do men. I guess women tend to lose one flip flop at a time or something. Weird.  The pairs were a lot higher.   So, following my rule, but unhappy with it, I bought the green men's flip flops.  They were the cheapest.  Later wife of mine complimented how masculine I look in my matching shorts and flip-flops.  Inward groan. We have not discussed the Subject in a long time because I think she forgets it is there as soon as the conversation ends.  Or she is trying to talk me out of this.  Not sure.  We only discuss it when necessary, and how often do most couples discuss whether one spouse is one sex or the other? Outside of here, I mean.  So we very seldom talk about it and she is happier if she does not know about it. Super stealth.  I do the laundry and I shower in the shower in the wing away  from the master bed room so I have my own shower.

      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.

      My first entirely post-transition musical release

      By Betty K · Posted

      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!

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      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.
