Well Done

Wouldn't it just be nice to see a sermon or post on having done well without being straight or cisgender as a qualifying factor? I personally would like to just post something that might give someone a better hope without twisting scripture or saying they have to be like me or my church. Having said thus let me continue. Matthew 25: 19-23 [19] After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. [20] And so he that had received five talents came and brought other

Revelation 20:11,12 The Book Of Life, Book Of Remembrance

For much of Christianity if you don't fit their denomination or creed you aren't saved. Some are so self righteous that they feel their works get others saved. The word says to allow your light to shine so that they that come in can see it. Jesus said the fields were white already to the harvest. Both go against people being added to the Book of Life. So, what does the word of God say about the books? Revelation 20:11,12 [11] And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose

A Little About Me

To start I am Del. I am cisgender. I live in Illinois in the county between two small towns. I I am a licensed and ordained evangelist with three organizations. One is Non-Denominational and two are Pentecostal. This allows me to interact in a large community of churches. I have studied the word of God since the age of seven. Nursing home services are always a joy. You just never know if they get a chance to hear the word of God at other times so I try to treat each service like it is my l

Becoming Dana

Returning

Well, the Boston job fell apart. It turned out that my being hired was conditional and there was nothing I could do about it. The condition? The customer deciding to upgrade the system but that didn't happen. I was there every day, never knowing my status. Stressful, to say the very least. So, the firm gave me no notice, just told me the customer had chosen to not upgrade, took my badge and their laptop away from me and told me my contract was terminated. No warning. Now, I've return

From Full-Time to Overtime

Not a dream anymore but reality, and a very stressful one indeed.

I am very happy to have completed transition and become accepted in my new identity. However with very little support from friends and family of the past. The stress of keeping up each day is starting to take its toll on me. I was hired full-time in a job in which everyone that surrounds me on a daily basis does not know of my past, Nor do they give me any inclination that they even think that I have ever been anything other than who I am now. Because I could not afford any type of hair

You never know when it's going to happen but...

You never know when it's going to happen but when you realise you just can't live without a particular person in your life it's just so sweet... First of all, apologies in advance for the 'sloppiness' of this post but I just had to let it out somewhere! I met Ruth some 6 months ago now, I was at the time I was dating another woman called Michelle and we had both met Ruth at the same time through a local club. We all got on well and knowing that Ruth was totally lesbian I didn't think for o

Cried last night

They were not the tears of pain, it was because of a simple statement my fiancé said last night in bed. We were talking about friends, their issues (marriage/money etc.) and got on to insecurities. Of course being a trans-woman I could write a book with the insecurities I have about 'passing', we all see the bits we don't like in the mirror. She simply turned to me and said, "Darling, I've NEVER slept with a man" and that brought tears to my eyes. Hugs Caroline xxx

Chasing the Rainbow...

We are so concerned about our “passibility” quotient that it can at times completely overwhelm us, to the exclusion of many other important aspects of our lives. We beat up on ourselves; become our own harshest critics because of who we see looking back at us in the mirror. Are my shoulders too wide? Thank goodness shoulder pads are back. I am guilty of these same self-critiques just as much as anyone else is, despite having gone through great lengths and expense to modify my face and part

The support we need is there, Finding us is the problem

What I knew By: Telzey I wonder how it’d be, If they were turned to me, And wore the world around as I have done To feel the pain I’ve felt, And know where sorrows dwelt, I'd do it all again this time tomorrow. Trepidation abounds when you step into a new situation, not much more newer than finding yourself all wrong and trying to reshape the world. I know all the words for this one: nervousness, fear, foreboding, terror, a thousand others and none at all. The journey is more fri

Futures

Many of us on this journey have a future that's not clear, we know in our minds the destination we want but between here and there the path is twisted, indistinct with numerous blockages put there by both ourselves (doubt and fear being big ones) and by others, doctors, loved ones, work etc. Yesterday, my future came more into focus with my first sign-off for surgery from the gender clinic. The meeting with the doctor was scheduled for 45 minutes, it lasted just 20 minutes. At the end of it I w

Its hard work to look this good.

Okay so about 2 months ago I won a radio contest to get a free month of Medifast Diet Plan I was hoping to drop some of my beer belly that when I got dressed up made me look Pregnant. In the month I drop about 20 lbs and began to note that my girlish figure was coming more into view. My only issue was the plan really added to my dizziness I naturally get from a iron deficiency. I Almost collapsed several times due to the low iron. I made it through and now as the summer heat really starts to be

A tender heart feels pain , A hardened heart knows pain , A loving heart feels and knows pain ...

I am forced to carry a loving heart through out this life as I am sure so many of you are as well , those within our lives are simply victoms of a tender heart or have become hardened because of the pain they have known , what do you suppose makes those of us that have a loving heart continue to undergo the pains of knowing and feeling for those around us , they cant return the same to us or are forced to withdraw due to their attempts at knowing those pains we deal with within our lives .

New Album

Hurray! I finally finished the album I've been working on for the past two years. It's still not going to be officially released until 7/19/11 because I have to pay for the UPC and digital distribution, but I wanted to let everyone here get an advance listen. After all, this is going to be my most public exposure so far as Maya, it was written as a way of coping with my frustration over living as a man, and I probably wouldn't have been around still to finish this if it wasn't for the support

Changing priorities

What do you consider important in your life. To me it used to be to "fit in", to be "normal", to get married, have children, support and nurture them and along the way hopefully to find happiness. Only I wasn't "normal", I didn't "fit in", I used to wake up in the mornings, stare at a face I hated and try to convince myself that one day it will be fine if I could just carry on doing.....this.....this stuff to distract myself from the inner turmoil. Some two and a half years after making a bi

Moment of clarity

You know how sometimes its all becomes clear, your life as it was, where you are now and the future ahead, I think I had one of those moments on Tuesday just gone. I have been going through a a period of doubt about my job, I know my boss's boss doesn't like me one bit, it's so obvious in the why he talks to me on the conference calls to the US (where he is located). I'm totally sure he would like to see me gone and I've been playing justify my position for the past year and a bit, having any e

The Ten Reasons I Chose to be Trans

As you are no doubt aware, being transgender is a choice that some people make. Everyone has different reasons for making this choice and here are mine: 1. By the standards of men’s heights, I’m only considered somewhat tall. By women’s standards, however, I’m quite tall. 2. I so much prefer to use my hands and mouth for sex over my penis that I would like to remove the option entirely. 3. Attention; I could think of literally no other way to get attention from people. 4. Growing up secr

What a Blow!

A [very] few here know that I was sweating bullets when I decided to tell the three most important people in my life about my trueself - my mum, my girlfriend and my brother. I was worried that I would lose their love. I didn't, but things didn't remain all that smooth. While I lost the support of my mother a few short months later, my g/f and brother seemed to stay the course.   Now, I have to question just where my brother's feelings are on all this. He has been understanding and sup

Free (?) Again

For the last week and a half, I was imprisoned; not only imprisoned in my own body, but my body itself imprisoned in a mental health facility (or for the rather upbeat group of would-be suiciders I was rooming with, the loony bin). Despite transgender protection laws being on the books in Illinois and my being in a state-run facility and their being aware that I identify as female, I was placed in the male rooms with access to the male restroom and shower. Sure, that's lame and uncomfortable f
