It has been said you can't truly love someone else, if you don't love yourself. I'm learning that lesson which only proves another adage wrong. You can teach old dogs, new tricks.

A girl should understand why she hates herself, maybe.

Awww, congratulations!  Best lesson to learn ever, Dawn.

Love yourself, care for yourself, and you will develop the energy and strength to love and care for others.  It is a wonderful positive force in the world.
Earth my body, water my blood, air my breath and fire my spirit.

My personal transition path included medical changes.  The path others take may require no medical intervention, or different care.  We each find our own path. I provide these dates for the curious.

People say, "you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Better question:  "how bad does that dog want to learn?"

I've always had a thirst for learning. I have been a life long learner and I will never know enough. But knowing and acting are two different things. Enact what you know, practice understanding and it gets easier to live in your own skin. Help the ignorant understand our situation. We are not some strange beings. We are human and just want to live our lives as equals. Not special treatment, equality. I am thankful I have found the Ingersoll Gender Center here in Seattle. Each week we have upwards of 50 attendees to our weekly meetings which at this time is over 2500 continuous weeks or a little over 42 years.
