being forced back to part time

[CharlaineCadence]

It is the worst thing to happen to me but due to family issues and evil neibors I am bing forced into part time womanhood again. due to their eagerness to comment and make me feel small. But soon I will find a new home and then I will live happily as a woman full time. Though I woiunder what thease evil people will think as soon as I start working full time as a woman.
They have even gone to the idea as to use their children as a means of reasioning why i should dress somewhere elce. It sickens me when I have never done anything but help them. It hurts but I cannot let this stop me. so for now they will be apesed but soon they will learn the hard way.

But does it surprise you any, they just missed a chance to teach their children a valuable lession in diversity (do hate that word but until another comes along). So why care about what they may say or think it's your life and go on and live it as you see fit. I was taught that unless it impacts you personaly ignor it and you won't have a problem. But you know some people just can't feel good about them selves unless they are putting others down.
Do take care Charlaine and God bless.

I'm sorry what happened. It goes to show you what ignorance is and does. I understand your concern for your safety. I encourage you to continue being yourself. I pray you will find acceptance in the next place you will move to. Look ahead to the future and see that your rich and unique life will be beautiful to others.
Best to you.

Hi Charlaine,
For what it's worth, I have to wonder if it isnt time to get out of Dodge? Maybe a larger and more tolerant city would be in order.

Where the kind of prejudice you are experiencing exists we have to be concerned about our safety.

You have made some huge leaps recently and there is no reason to go back on them. The support of your family will be there always, but the ignorance and prejudice of the community will also be there. Where that exists, there is a real personal danger.

Please give this some consideration.

Kimberley.

Hi
Sorry to hear about your neighbours. This stems from irrational fears and unfounded prejudice and by demanding that you do not present publically as you feel you should, they are infringing on your civil liberties and right to privacy. It is a violation of your human rights and they have no right doing this to you.

Their argument about their children is completely rootless because there is nothing illegal about what you are doing. I suspect they are afraid of their children discovering that the world is full of diversity and the human race is a multi-complex of individuals. We live in a heteronormative society and anyone who does not fit the mould of such a life is deemed to be wrong and dangerous to the balance of society. Transgender people are seen to be a threat to traditional family life yet what these traditionalists fail to realise is that traditional family life is subjective, there is an array of family units that are not traditional in the terms of mum, dad and 2.4 children.

The next time someone starts on their soap box with "but what about the children, think of the children" remind them that the world is changing and keeping their children blind to the reality around them is actually more harmful to their future welfare than them seeing you in a dress and make up.

I really wish I could move but alas I cant for at this point in time I need to take care of ailing father. He is the other reasion I cant live fully right now. though he is accepting he had admitted that he is uncomfertable seeing me in a dress of jeans tee shirt and brest. it will take time with him but i think i will be fine. if my neibors try anythingI wil protect myself. I hat to admit it but I was told by the police department that I should get a carry permit. It scares me to think that I would need to add a firearm to my purse and i do not think I will but I truely under stand seeing as we had a transgendered person killed not to long ago in the next city. I live my live as best I can and As soon as I get a new job wher eI am seen as a woman all the time I know my father will get used to my dressing as will my neibors. They should grow up but I can not and will not live in fear for my life. they can change I will not. I'm tired of hiding who I am because of fear. That is what has ruined my life in the past. NEVERMORE WILL I ALLOW IT.
