Here is a list of quotes that I have compiled from various sources.
"Confront your fears, list them, get to know them, and only then will you be able to put them aside and move ahead."--Jerry Gillies
"Change starts when someone sees the next step."--William Drayton
"Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are."--Bernice Johnson Reagon
"Humor helps us to think out of the box. The average child laughs about 400 times per day, the average adult laughs only 15 times per day. What happened to the other 385 laughs?"--USA Today
"Others can give you a name or a number, but they can never tell you who you really are. That is something you yourself can only discover from within."--Thomas Merton
"For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness."--Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile, I caught hell for."--Earl Warren
"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step."--Lao-Tsu
"No matter where you go or what you do in the world, there are people who will love you no matter what, people who won't, and the people who aren't even paying attention -- really. So you're free to be true to yourself. Isn't that a relief?"
Who would I like to meet? That is a really good question . Anyone with an open mind and an understanding view of others would be a good candidate for someone I would like to meet. I don't really care for pompous and arrogant people who think they are a gift to the human race. I am not going to loose any sleep over not meeting anyone that falls into that category.
I would like to meet people who are, or who want to be, active in the promotion of a positive image of the TG community. I personally think the TG community needs a serious public image overhaul but unfortunately there are not many people who are willing to make the stand that would be needed to do so. For the most part all I ever hear is whining and crying about life not being fair and how we "deserve" rights. News flash folks, life is unfair and we only get back what we put into it. So if we only give crap all of the time then guess what is going to come back at us.
I welcome any questions or comments about what it is like to be transgender. I have gone through all kinds of the trials and tribulations of finding out who I really am as a person. It has been one crazy journey of ups and downs but I wouldn't trade it for anything. No matter how astonishing some of my experiences may be there is always another that is going to trump it. I am also always here as a source of information and assistance for anyone in any stage of gender discovery.
I also want to make it known that I have the greatest friends in the world. That includes everyone I have met in person, the ones that I know on here, and all of the people that I have known for years. Thank you all for the support and encouragement. I only hope I am able to return the favor to you all someday.
