Plans for today are mostly on hold. Getting old really sucks, and it's now effected what I can do and how I can dress. NO heals over about an inch, and flat sandals, or cute sneakers are going to be limited also. Degenerative disc disease and sever arthritis, along with some other health issues is changing my life, but not my transition. I will never turn back or stop, and HRT is even increased after seeing the doctor yesterday (not a lot - but enough)
However, this isn't the reason for my post since something is far more important.
A lot of us have health issues or other problems, and we often need the wonderful advice and some sympathy from others here on Susan's. But today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. So please take a minute in silence today for those who have died because of hatred and bigotry, or just from a lack of legal protection provided by some of our ignorant governments. Some also have left us due to bigotry exhibited in emotional abuse and neglect, which is just as harmful as anything physical. And they must also be remembered for the struggles they fought in life.
The silent voices of those who are gone still cry. So take that moment in silence, or if you have a faith in a Deity say a quiet prayer.
