Title: I never thought I would get to the point that I just am ok with me.

I wrote below on my FB page.  I thought I would share it.
I have never been stronger than I am now.. even stronger than before transition.. I feel like I have been empowered by being myself. Being free.
You might find it interesting.. Hopefully helpful

I have no problem letting people know that I was transgender. I have transitioned from Male to Female. My story is typical of many.
I consider myself female in every way now, considering my body now matches my brain. The brain I was born with and that God gave me.
Some say God does not make mistakes.. I agree completely and know he made me just as I am for a purpose.
That purpose may just be to change hearts and minds one by one. I don't really know. But I believe in destiny and believe I will live a long wonderful life because of the love and support from my family and friends.
Every day is a blessing. I consider life a gift from God. I believe in God and believe that God loves me and you.
I have become so much wiser through adversity. I understand that people who are hateful towards me have an issue with themselves. I understand that the hate they spew bounces right back to them.. I also know that ignorance produces fear and that most people are not bad.. they just don't understand and that's ok.

When its not ok is when a political party attacks me and uses me as a political football. That is wrong and they will not win in the end.

You see, those people are truly evil. They know the truth but choose to ignore it knowing the hurt they cause.

I say to them. Leave us alone, let us live life with dignity and pursue happiness like any other American.

And to others like me know this. That those people I am talking about are a minority. Take heart in knowing the truth will set us free, that hate never wins.

A lovely post and always great to hear of someone being at peace with themselves.

As they say "Those that dwell in darkness have seen a great light".
