Other Blogs - #2

This is Post #2 to my blog - for an introduction, please scroll down and read Post #1 -



I spent a little time yesterday looking at other transman blogs. Many were just used as opportunities to vent - complain about the treatment that guys in 'transition' were having to deal with. Well, to me, that is just how life is....

For the record, I have never been in 'transition' - I have always known who I am.

But: The people around me have found themselves in 'transition' as they decided/figured out how to relate/understand/accept/reject me. I did not have to change, but those around me had to change how they looked at me. Or not.

Some choose not to - and it is always their choice.

I had no choice. My sanity, my self-worth, my status as a part of the human race required me to accept the road I have traveled. Don't misunderstand, my life has not been all roses, but there have been far more roses than thorns.

I find it sad that more men like me don't share their life experiences, but choose to complain about the way others see them.

I can't help how others see me, I can't change it, I no longer try.

You don't have to understand; sometimes, I must admit that I don't understand either.

All in all, it has been an unbelievable life so far, God has been good to me, far better than I have deserved.

Thanks for checking out my blog, future posts will lean toward a history of my life and what has brought me here. If you'd like to, walk along with me. Feel free to comment, but be nice. Treat me as if I am someone you know and love - because I just might be....
