Transgender Liberty

  I’ve been embroiled in an online discussion about a small town whose girls’ cross-country team split down the middle because another girl, who happens to be transgender, joined the team. And it’s not just small towns. In professional sports, you have RWCN radicals attending sporting events and sabotaging them for political noise (right before the November election), revealing shirts with XX/XY on them, which in itself is hilariously wrong. Biology isn’t a binary. It’s a spectrum with a very loud fan club (RWCN bigots) at two points. The face of RWCN hate: Fox News is all over it too, and of course they are. Look who owns them. And in Facebook discussions about girls’ high school sports (kids’ sports!), I’m seeing comments like this one from Carol: ( BLUE COMMENT )  That’s basically saying “separate but equal.” And then there’s Bob (First Comment) So in Bob's case (a man), it’s all about money: getting that other girl into college on a free ride. So here’s the thing, Bob. ...

  Yin and Yang is miss understood so often Everyone thinks GOOD V EVIL - WRONG Dark V Light - WRONG Male V Female - WRONG Yin is night, winter, rest, stillness, the moon Yang is day, summer, the sun And together.... Yin-Yang is motion..in motion..always moving Maximum yin or yang is just a moment of change in nature. CHANGE IN PERPETUAL MOTION And....Nothing is EVER completely Yin or Yang, including ourselves. We are transitioning always. The Turning.. yin/yang is a rhythm of turning and change. The dot.. each side carries the seed of the other Trying to hold noon, or midnight in place… is fighting something that can’t be fought. Nature is continual change The symbol is a picture of motion captured in a single moment Credit to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMcdIV3vkXs

  I saw this and thought.. this says it all.  Be the Change... Be You! Don't let others tell you who you are! what you can Do! where you can Go! how you can live! or how you can exist!

Many of us are struggling. Cisgender, transgender, it doesn't matter. There's an old story about two wolves that live inside each of us. One is fed by anger, hate, and fear. The other is fed by love, kindness, and hope. Whichever one you feed is the one that grows. Lately I've learned something the story doesn't say out loud: the angry wolf doesn't just grow. If you keep feeding it, it will consume you. And what exactly does that mean? Well, it means this: I'm recovering from surgery, mostly bedridden, and wondering what to do with my time. Read books, watch shows, sleep… and scroll social media. So what do I fill my time with? Do I fill it with hate, anger, dissatisfaction, and disgust? With thoughts of revenge against those I feel have hurt me, trespassed against me, abandoned me, or given up on me? Do I inundate myself with political memes, colorful two-sentence posters, and AI-generated images of angry, disgusting scenes, all designed to stir my emot...

I was watching a show the other night, and two characters, a mother and her daughter, were talking. The exchange went like this: Mother: "You can't hold onto it forever." Daughter: "Why not?" Mother: "Because it's fucking exhausting." There's a lesson in that. One I've spent my entire life learning. Holding onto secrets, pain, anger, hurt, shame, a grudge, resentment, and carrying them with you everywhere you go is exhausting. I know, because I've done it. This morning I woke up at my usual times: 1 am, then 3 am, then 4 am, and finally from a dream when it was time to get up. In that dream I was watching the people around me go on with their lives without me. I might as well have been a ghost, watching unseen, because that's exactly what it felt like. I'll admit it disturbed me, because it was my subconscious reminding me. I am alone.  So I let that sit with me... and I tried to look at it from various angles and I r...

Yesterday datacenter(s) deep In Russia were hit with explosive devices which in turned caused a massive down spike in bot traffic. As much as a 57% drop in "Fake" and simulated posts and comments on social media platforms like facebook. 57% think about that number it's huge that's like six out of 10 post we're coming from non-humans, a program written by someone who wants to achieve a very specific objective. In response People are waking up, realizing that friend seems absent today... haha. They are seeing the veil lifted, the lights turned on; as if waking from a dream, a sleep, and going outside to look at the sky, the sun, and realizing all their "Bigot" allies, their "Hate Allies" Suddenly gone. whooosh. BECAUSE THEY WERE NEVER REAL TO BEGIN WITH!!!! In response, Memes are popping up all over the internet about this. here are a few fun ones and This isn't new to me, I've blogged about this before, back in April-May this year even. ...

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." There's an old saying, often credited to Edmund Burke, that the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing. In my last post, I wrote about Cornell University, where a group of fraternity men gang-raped a woman . The school did nothing until the victim and others cried foul and the story reached the media. The university tried to cover it up. They tried to sweep it under the rug. They tried to protect men who had done something so horrific that in some countries they would have been hanged for it. Note: Also see my previous post about misogyny/sexual violence against women(all women) titled the geometry of hate In many ways, that mirrors our current moment under the Trump presidency. We have a president and an administration who think it's okay to be terrible. Through their behavior, their actions, and their i...
