  Making it worth it... I just came across this article this morning in yesterday's Courant. urlLink Story . While I had to read it quickly from what I saw quickly is that gay acceptance is up in mainstream America. While trans people and gay people aren't the same thing many in mainstream society treat us as such it is only within the communities the separation comes. This new acceptance doesn't come from the gay community hiding, but being out. This is exactly why I do what I do, and others like me do it too.
If we can educate the public even if just for awhile and to a limited audience it does spread. I know first hand it is not easy, but I want to keep improving things if I can help. The way things were back in the late eighties and early nineties had I continued my transition back then I probably would have been out on the streets due to non acceptance, and almost surely dead. There still are places in this country where some young person is too scared to do this, because of fear of being out on the streets, or on the streets due to family and friend non-acceptance. I am so thankful I was strong enough not to go there, but I also know I am strong enough to help make sure it is better for others.
I just hope I can keep it up long enough, and keep my dignity enough to make a positive difference instead of a negative one. I really have to go, office day in lovely West Hartford, electrol tonight. I will post again latter. Love to all, take care. urlLink postCount('108176598616134413'); | urlLink postCountTB('108176598616134413');
