The actions taken, your understanding of the big picture. Hello, God calling. Otherwise, I don't believe so much. It's day by day with serious doubt for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590734634072881618.post-47144539866947443202009-03-02T06:19:00.000-05:002009-03-02T06:19:00.000-05:00By simply saying that you were not afraid, you mad...By simply saying that you were not afraid, you made a powerful stand for acceptance. Such things speak very loudly and serve to spur others to examine their own fears. <BR/><BR/>You will befriend both the cleaning lady and the transgendered woman because that's who you are. By doing that, and in one sense ignoring that they may be on opposite sides of a divisive social conflict, you are demonstrating as clearly as you can that there is value in respecting people as people. <BR/><BR/>There isn't anything else for you to do but that. The rest is up to someone else.Wayfarerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00763136440121937574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590734634072881618.post-56019142624305300632009-03-02T00:31:00.000-05:002009-03-02T00:31:00.000-05:00This American Life just did a story about two tran...This American Life just did a story about two transgender girls - Somewhere Out There - they met at a conference for parents/families of transgender children and it's the first time they got to meet another child like themselves. It's very touching and nice insight into the little girls strength.<BR/><BR/>http://www.thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=374MargretHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00438437053684478780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590734634072881618.post-61722132956441979062009-03-01T18:58:00.000-05:002009-03-01T18:58:00.000-05:00It might be simpler than that.

I grew up in a very small house and shared a bedroom with 3 siblings... two of them boys. Privacy was very precious. and old habits die hard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590734634072881618.post-39412029712365064162009-03-01T13:11:00.000-05:002009-03-01T13:11:00.000-05:00I hope that you do meet the trans woman again to b...I hope that you do meet the trans woman again to befriend her. <BR/><BR/>The cleaning lady could be showing her lack of understand or is truly homophobic. Or she might believe that the two or you might be offended and she is just warning her; I bet if you called her on her discrimination she might be personally OK and was just giving you a heads up about someone.<BR/><BR/>I think we need to give some people the benefit of the doubt.<BR/><BR/>SarahKay & Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244257765709660605noreply@blogger.com
