If you are quick to judge, slow to embrace, lacking an open mind, and find strength in hate, then this blog is NOT for you. Run along little hater..... This blog is about tolerance and understanding in general, and specifically related to transgender issues. So Welcome Everyone!! I don't claim to know anything but myself, and that's what I'm sharing. I hope to hear from you...

New Yorker Magazine crosses the line of decency, and makes gays a target all over again!
Hey Peeps,
I'd like to thank the New Yorker magazine for setting LGBT and Gay Marriage BACK 50 YEARS!!!! The unbelievable use of Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street on their cover as some image associated with the gay marriage is UNFORGIVABLE!!!
I support LGBT issues and equality, but I DO NOT support this juvenile pandering by the New Yorker to invoke shock. Now everyone on the right is saying we are all perverts out to get to their children. THIS IS AWFUL!@!!
If you think this is WRONG, and the New Yorker should be boycotted, no matter what side of the gay marriage issue you are on, I think we ALL CAN AGREE to let the New Yorker know this is intolerable.
Please like this, link it, share it, comment, we all need to speak up on this!
thanks,
Amy St Marie

LGBT - Divisions and Perceptions - My thoughts
In a world seemingly obsessed by labels, to me they don't matter, well, at all. But especially within the LGBT community, not only is everyone on the outside trying to label us, but even within our own ranks we label and separate each other.
Often you will find L/G's giving B's a hard time, saying they are confused, undecided, or too afraid to commit... sad. Not to imply that L's and G's unconditionally support each other either, because they don't. And then L/G/B's often all seem to be transphobic. Which leaves the T's, like me, feeling like we don't even get acceptance within our own communities. And we (the T's) don't really get to hate or label or separate, mainly because as T's, we are often L or G or B as well, so we would just be beating up 'ourselves'.
I just wish we could stand together more, as the one thing we all have in common for sure is that a large majority of the rest of the world HATES US! If we can't accept and help each other, what hope do we ever have of anyone else ever accepting us? Tolerance and understanding begin within :)
Have thoughts? Please share...
Be Happy..... Next post on TG specific labels and terms (and I don't relate to ANY of them! lol)
Until next time,
Amy Within
