ty-james.livejournal.comI've only had three hours sleep in 72... but I'm remarkably cheerful. Why? I have no reason to be.
After all, a good online female friend decides to tell me (after five years) that she loves me... even though she's never met me and has no idea of the loverly little F on my birth certificate. So I've been forced to break her heart to keep her from being embarrassed and humiliated by the truth. (No, I'm not ashamed. I just know that she has a BIG problem with this stuff, and it would cause way more damage to her fragile-trust-issued little mind.)
And I've been asked to write an article, which I have lost massive amounts of sleep over, only to have it turn out badly and with no promise they'll even use it at all.
Lastly, I've been totally torn over the fact that I've decided on a final name... only to become suddenly conflicted and torn and want to run back to the old name I loved so much.
Throw in a hellish week at work, shake and serve with olive.
So why am I so happy?
Because methinks my Mother has seen the light!!!
My sister called in a real flurry tonight, because my Mother had called her up to ask if she saw the show on Transsexualism.
A little taken aback, (my sister knows, my mother doesn't), my sister replies that she hasn't.
Mum then starts going on and on about the show made her finally understand why/how anyone could possibly believe they are the wrong gender.
But here's the kicker.
My sister then said the disscussion about the show lead to the following:
My mother talked about the things that the TSs went through as children, their behavior, and later their emergence from the gay community (the ones on the show identified as hetero through their proper gender)....
She said, "Do you think [insert my name here] is...?"
And she continued to compare my childhood to that of those she had seen on her show.
My sister believes she is not ready to hear the truth quite yet... but she has opened her eyes and, apparently, talked positively about the show and what it taught her.
There's hope I might not be disowned afterall!!!
The Lord works in mysterious ways. If anyone dares say that being transgendered is a sin, and not part of God's plan... then why is he on my side, hmmm?
