Yes, I did play hooky from church to write that post, and NO, I couldn't be happier about it.
Of course my mother still sees fit to bring me a little something from church anyway. Flowers? Eh. I never did see the point. I didn't mind the chocolate, but the message on it?
For all the stars of heaven
The soft flowers on the field
And the gentle breeze of sunrise
None is more sacred and sweet
In all of God's Creation
Than the heart of Woman
Rather than accepting this message myself, I'd like to forward it to all the women on my list (whether you're a mother or not). Many of you don't realize how wonderful you are.
I'm thankful for all of your kind words and support, especially when you don't understand where the hell I'm coming from. For all those who have stayed friends even before I came out as trans (or even as being "not straight", there are a few who've been here that long), for all of those I've recently met, who have respectfully used the right name and gender pronouns, it means a lot.
Thank you.
