Dear sister Cloè,
Thank you for your thoughts and support. Today is not as clear as yesterday. To be sure, I am able to embrace my own womanhood with a deeper acceptance of my female essence then prior to my “epiphany”, but suddenly that confusion you mentioned swirls “doubt dust” around. Thoughts such as, “OK, so what are you going to do with this understanding? Transition? But if you do that you will have to walk away from so much.” It practically chokes me.
And yet perhaps clearer than ever I understand I can’t continue on suppressing/denying the very person I am at my inner person (my heart) level. How does He want me to reconcile these two seemingly polar opposites and achieve the peace He delighted me with yesterday but at a more permanent level causes me turmoil today.
Blessings,
Charrie

There are several instances of total life transformation to draw from as you seek your answer. Most had a deep valley to cross. For me, once I knew what I had to do after utterly falling apart inside, nothing was working toward the good as I continued trying to hold on to the old life. Accepting this was the right course and letting faith be my guide are what have worked. But, yeah there’s been plenty of difficulty in the journey and it’s not over.

Hi Charlene V,
I am a deeply spiritual person myself but I am not a Christian. However, I respect you in your faith and I am so very happy for you that you were able to come to terms with yourself, CDing and God. I believe in a higher power and I don’t believe that higher power would punish anyone because of the clothing they choose to wear. And to take things one step further, I don’t believe a loving God would punish anyone over gender confirmation surgery. These are my feelings and maybe my opinion will further help you along on your journey, maybe not, but I do pray you will experience happiness and contentment.
Hugs, Breanna

Hi Charrie , i wish there was a easier path for trans women , there just isn’t . Hate is a hard thing to get away from , its usually fueled by fear . If a person fears you they are very dangerous . My life has been very dangerous at times and my faith has always got me through , sometimes i’ve just had to stop and talk to the Great Heavenly Father . We must remember our’s is not an easy path to follow , but our faith will help get us through , as well as our sisters here , were surrounded here by love and understanding , i so love this place .I want to be the person inside me , not the one most seen , i ‘am the one not liked , not the one excepted every were . There is a war going on , i hope we prevail , i pray . Leslie

Sometimes it occurs to me how fortunate to have been to the places I’ve been and had the experiences I’ve had. It is humbling and the only words I have are “Thank You”. That can happen anytime: sometimes in my car, sometimes looking in the mirror before I go out. It is a reminder of how blessed I have been…

God Bless you Charrie! That is a wonderful and amazing experience. Now I know that I need to pray, I had been neglecting that part of my for long enough.
What God has given so far in my journey was a reawakening of an echo passed to my by my Mother and Grand Mother.
God gave us the gift of life, our soul and our bodies. Being honest with ourselfs and loving us for who we are is one of the greatest ways to worship God.
I am choosing to be honest with myself and to love my body how it is. This is what I need for me, you (all of you) be honest with yourself and do what is right for you.
-Hugs and Love
