I wanted to follow up again about Las Vegas. I know it seems I can’t talk enough about it and it has not been all that positive. I did meet someone there though that was a very decent person. I meet this person there that is transsexual and started transitioning over ten years ago. She was a very passable woman and in any other place than the bar we where in, she would have flown under the radar. I only ended up talking to her by mistake and then realized it was someone else I was talking too. Even after talking to her I though she was a female it was only after some time did I realize she was transsexual. For a woman to pass so well another transsexual can’t really tell is a remarkable feat. I only really mention her because it was only after talking with her did I realize the full story. From my understanding Las Vegas has a lot of transgendered individuals that are homeless, but it’s not because they are transgendered. This could be the case for some of them but what she told me was that quite a few of them are hooked on drugs. It saddens me to hear this, and in another way it makes me feel that maybe there is hope for people who are just transitioning. Maybe the world is not so cold that it will cast out those that don’t conform to social normalcy. There is always hope…
Then there are just bad days. I always “love” talking to my mother about transitioning. It’s always great to hear someones views that are so deeply planted in old society thought. She loves to try to find verses in the Bible and point out how wrong it is for a man to wear women clothing. She even found the verse to back it up, but here is the thing… I am not a man I am a transsexual. Also there is one verse on that and many, many others on eunuch’s which is the old world word for transsexual. What I find very interesting about it is further study has so many interpretations for that word. Also going back to the bible it says nothing, but good things about eunuch’s. So I sent two of those verses back. I know this is another stumbling block for me but really I have a heart that I don’t want to go against God. I don’t feel like this is him vs me and never did but some people like to make things about that. It’s just good to have some backup that is even in the Bible.
