Life is Hell - Making the Choice to be Happy is Bliss

For those who think that being #Transgender means you can't have a normal life...

You not only can have a completely normal life, but you can even have a better than normal life! Transition is fantastic. You move and progress and grow from one point to another. You make advancements not only in your body but in your thinking and in your relationships too.

I am sorry but I don't buy the crap that says that transitioning is filled with disappointment and sadness and negative things. Maybe its because I am seriously positive. Maybe its because I choose not to focus on what is rough during transition. I refuse to let any negativity get me down.

Look transition is very tough. I'm not a fool or have it easier than anyone else. Yes I'm in a friendly city for LGBT people. Yet, even if I was not, I would still make it a choice of mine to be me, fight the haters with determination and be happy. Its a decision that I make and it has made all the difference!

I think some people think I'm naive. Oh Jenny has only been transitioning for 6 months, poor dear doesn't know anything. Well, let me tell you that the first 6 months are the worst typically! Yet, in my heartache and in my struggles, I have fought and won. I will not let anything bring me down.

I have a normal and very happy life. I have a wonderful man in my life and I am traveling to all kinds of places and serving as an activist in many LGBT causes. I have been able to do this by keeping my spirit in a positive space. I do what I preach and I love myself and others.

Only good lies before me.

Transgender Social Revolution - Dual Spirit People Arise

It is my personal thought, and someone remind me that I predicted this...

We are about to undergo a #transgender social revolution. 

A nation, so to speak of beautiful people, will rise and the stigma of being different will be lifted.

We will have a place as a people group, not because we don't fit in, but because we are respected and finally integrated into society as wonderful.

Mark my words, I think it will happen. I dare to dream and dare to work hard to achieve it.

Joint Statement on Winning #Transgender Protections in #Miami-Dade

Today marks a new beginning in the effort to pass gender identity or expression protections in Miami-Dade County. A growing coalition of organizations, businesses and community leaders today deepen our resolve to see Miami-Dade live up to its reputation as a diverse and inclusive community by ensuring our human rights ordinance is amended to ban discrimination against the transgender community.

The hateful rhetoric our opponents have broadcast in recent weeks has only made more clear the absolute necessity of protecting transgender people from discrimination and violence. By demonizing transgender people with their campaign of misinformation, they have made our community less safe and less kind, but we will not let their lies stand.

One of Miami-Dade’s greatest strengths is our diversity, and we know that an overwhelming majority of residents share our belief that all people, including the transgender community, must enjoy the same freedom from discrimination.

We support the strategic decision to postpone a vote on the inclusion of gender identity or expression in order to further educate the community and our elected officials about the need for these vital protections. The day is coming when Miami-Dade will join cities and counties throughout Florida and across the nation that have added these protections. We stand united in our commitment to invest the time and resources required to win.

We would like to thank Commissioners Audrey Edmonson, Bruno Barriero, Sally Heyman and Barbara Jordan for their leadership and continued support.

And we invite everyone who values fairness and equality to stand with us today. We need you. We have faced bigoted attacks in the past, and we know that by standing together we will win.

They may slow us down, but they will never turn us back. And we will never stop fighting until every member of our community is fully protected.

In Solidarity,

Being transgender has taught me...

People are who they are regardless of their exterior shell. True-self lies within the soul -the psyche.

Places that the eye may not see will define who someone is. The visual, may not be able to adequately divulge or testify to what reality lies within. So refuse to let sight be your perception.

The depths of the human spirit and its identity are far deeper than even what the ear can hear about another. To discover an inner reality of another use your heart.

Being transgender has made me grasp the saying "having eyes, you don't see and having ears, you don't hear".

I'm trying my best to explore people using far more than the physical appearance. That kind of discovery takes much more time, but in the end, shows a person true respect.

Gender...

It is far more than what sex you are. It's not what restroom to use or a rule for marriage or intercourse. It does not dictate what aisle I shop in.

Gender is only a portion of an inner-self definition. It's a display of a vast expression of soul and psyche. It is a part of a total self-awareness and social identification. Gender is a spiritual truth enticing one to see me for who I am and then begs one to search deeper.

Gender is a thread of millions of strands that comprises the human existence and varies in color from one individual to the next. It must be sought and explored not only by each person, but by society as a whole. Treating each person as a unique being with a unique identity.

Gender, like a snow flake, has no copy. Each and every expression is different and beautiful.

Jenny Taylor

#Gender is the personification of your inner-person. A manifestation of whom you are and what it is that you desire to become. It stands regardless of who believes it or rejects it. It functions in the greater plan of things.

It is never a part or a lack of one. It is dualistic in nature and singular in its reality. It either produces life -rich and expressive or death - depressive and dysphoric. It gives us all the choice of acceptance or denial.
