Unless…

In America, unless you are a cis white male you have an understanding of what discrimination is on a deeper than cursory level. While some people and demographics are impacted more than others, if you are one that knows this and do not have solidarity with all of the others who know, I have a grand level of concern for you as a morally blind, misguided or corrupt individual.

Discrimination among and against others who have felt your pain in some real way is not going to help you or anyone else.

Fighting discrimination and employing these tactics makes you the same as those you are opposing, becoming your own oppressor.

Need this

The song by Garbage “Beloved Freak” came up and I need to hear this. While there are many songs by them that have lyrics and a sound that resonate with me, this is just what today was best to hear early on.

First a link to the Garbage YouTube video on this.

I did not see an official video, but here is one I quickly located.

Why not a couple photos?

What it means for me

For me, as I can only really speak for myself.

Being trans is not about what I look like, though there are many occasions I do want to look the best I can.

Every detail of my body or my appearance is not the or a goal.

What it is most importantly is how I am perceived and treated.

There is a social component to the way I look I am well aware of this, but it is a means not a top priority.

The way I interact and others do so with me is the real need I have, the rest falls behind this.

This makes me think, how about you?

I am going to put a few things here before I say anything on my thoughts. Let these sink in just a bit if you can.

Now, please do some searching on research on your own but do remember that 10 minutes, an hour or days of searching does not make one an expert. I do suggest educating yourself and research is not a mute point.

Based on the arguments against Transgender people and drag-queens the case could be made that children should not be allowed in church and the anti-trans laws need to be adopted for the church as well.

The evidence I am able to see and find is overwhelmingly more children are hurt and abused in a church setting than in the presence of a transgender person or drag-queen even if you look at the numbers based on population percentage. This still does not justify a religious attack on anyone.

Don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house.

When has there been a attack by the transgender community in such a fashion on religion beyond people of every gender and orientation not wanting to be forced into religion. Let people be, period.

I could go on but why? Think for yourself and not simply adopt what you are told is truth, not even the so called news should be blindly trusted.

Question everything, but be constructive as you do wherever possible.

Far from good enough

I am taking a risk. This is fully within myself. I am sharing bad selfies.

These are bad not due to anyone else or their thoughts or opinions. If no one other than me sees them this does not change. If others do, still it does not change in that I am not fond of some aspect or the entirety of these.

I am not not have the delusion that I am better or right more often than others. I am flawed just as every human is as I see it this is without exception.

In all my issues, errors, mistakes, etc. A collection of selfies I did some editing to obscure just a bit to not make me cringe quite as much as I do from the original image.

Even as I titled this, I am good enough. I am me and finally I can be alive and have hope for I life I never have had before. I may take some bad selfies but I am here and I am alive and those things that I see are not what I am not happy with. It is how the world around me reacts to them that is sad and depressing. It is as if others cannot live up to what people expect them to and those demands keep happiness at bay, then the attacks others to bring them to that same place of feeling inadequate, but it does not need to be this way. We can decide to be ourselves and be happy but the violence in physical, verbal or legislative form must end. This is not just for transgender people, or people of any specific group but all and everyone.

Find your own happiness and let others do so as well.

Ponder the possibilities

Just a few things I have collected over the last 24 hours or so.

Think about these a bit if you can, honestly think. Do this for yourself and no one else. But please, do some real thinking and not that ‘I already have an opinion and don’t want to change’ kinda thing.

In the past hour I easily saw 200 more but slow load times are not fun.

Here a just a very few.

I have hundreds more but again this could be painful to view. Another time soon possibly.

Ban Them!

Ban Republicans & Democrats!
Ban books!
Ban Christians & Muslims!
Ban LGBTQ+
Ban Corporations
Ban IT ALL!

Ban anything and everything!
Ban one and ban it All!

If you cannot live in a world where each and everything that is not part of your life, be that something good or even bad for someone somewhere – this mentality is a loss for all and everyone.

In America the attacks are relentless and make zero sense even as they are pushed as justified. Simply a misguided ignorance and far to overconfident in being so.

How about America be overrun by North Korea, China and Russia and have all that you want erased? If any group feels they are the majority, think again.

I think people will wake up and see just how disgusting things have become and resist and revolt for their fellow people to have the right to live.

I just hope we as people see just where we are in the hell-scape disguised as good before we have to fight for the right just to live and breathe.
