Pride Is Under Threat. What Does That Mean for You This Year?
I Stand Up For Pride as a Woman Who Is Transgender!
Every time I walk outside as me, I make my Pride statement.
I refuse to hide any longer in the closet I was forced into as a child.
I am a woman who is also transgender.
I am not a pedophile, serial rapist, or stalker. I am a normal person who Mother Nature, in her infinite wisdom and boundless sense of humor, gave a male body and a female brain.
In an ignorant society, a biological body dictated the gender I was forced to live as. Fortunately, human knowledge and understanding is never static. It evolves and with it a deeper understanding that biology does not dictate gender.
It took decades for my gender reality to have the scientific proof it needed to reveal itself to me and the world.
I refuse to deny my reality to make the haters and the bigots of the world happy. I want the ignorant to learn. I want the world to see transgender people are normal members of society, not social lepers to be cast out and stoned by blind religious zealots and hateful mobs.
I stand with the LGBTQ+ community during Pride month and all the days of the year .
