I Hope that ignorance can be dispelled and I agree, in the being relational with anyone it can break down barriers and biases.<br /><br />I'm a born Nurturer too so perhaps that is why my Garden thrives, I dunno? Right now I'm raising Cherry Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Lettuce, Spinach and various Fresh Herbs in containers around my front porch... can't wait for the Harvest!<br /><br />Dawn...

You do a fabulous job educating people about what it's like to be transgender, what it means, how it impacts you and those around you, etc. You've taught me a lot, that's for sure. I applaud Bruce for coming out. And I cringe at the callous comments and hate I see in the aftermath of his interview. Most of it is born of ignorance. I hope your "friends" understand, and stick by you. If they don't, they're not true friends. But you know that. You're such a strong person. Talking to them personally will be hard on you, but worth it in the end, I think. It's just one more giant step toward living the life you were meant to live. <br /><br />On another note, the dog-in-the-cone pic made me do a double-take. I laughed out loud when I realized it was Belle's dog on my rocking chair. :-)ToadMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873763565941746536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-49750304431592809352015-04-27T22:28:09.567-04:002015-04-27T22:28:09.567-04:00I have not seen the interview yet, I have been tra...I have not seen the interview yet, I have been traveling - however I did read about the supportive messages he has been getting. It made me happy, I've always thought he was the best human being in that reality show and always wondered what he was doing there. He seemed too good. <br />I think it was really brave of him to speak out - and I also think its really brave of you to contact each individual and tell them about yourself. <br />Sometimes we make comments without thinking, I sure hope they are smarter than that and keep your friendship.

Mainly because I want to be sure I'm able to see it without interruptions and I've been traveling lately. At least on my Facebook feed I've been seeing positive responses. The fact that trans issues are being talked about in mainstream media alone is a step in the right direction in my opinion!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.madame-ostrich.com" rel="nofollow">XxMO</a>Madame Ostrichhttp://www.madame-ostrich.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-31789332229011486892015-04-27T19:33:40.812-04:002015-04-27T19:33:40.812-04:00And I enjoyed your reply!

I'm excited to see it. I'm so sorry that you've seen negative spewage from people who are supposed to be friends. I love how you want to ask them if they hate you now. Pretty powerful. And amazing to me that you've grown so much and come so far that you're willing to tell them at all; I'm like a proud mama!<br /><br />I attempted baton twirling as a kid but never kept up with it. How exciting and fun for you! Hubs is really, really good at devil sticks - do you know what those are?<br /><br />You'd think with my natural nurturing nature (say that 3x fast), keeping plants alive would be a fit for me. Alas, it's not. I've tried so many times. But I think actually that our soil here is all wrong. At least, that's what I tell myself. I'm bad to forget to water. Then again, I'm keeping one child and multiple pets and two adults and one business alive every day; it's highly possible I'm just tapped out. Next house, we need to hire a landscaper, because I so enjoy walking out into beautiful flowers, and so does kiddo!<br /><br />I really enjoyed this update and finding out what all's been going on with you. <3Jenarcissist @ the closet narcissisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07427993886300110387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-783110995198074272015-04-27T11:34:01.852-04:002015-04-27T11:34:01.852-04:00Thanks.

I have a similar situation with male friends who say stupid crap about women in my presence, believing that my allegiance lies with them and not the other sex. They're wrong about that. For whatever it's worth, these situations give me access to people's private beliefs, the one they hide when they are in the presence of others.Shybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263331247319768989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-83255787521282892682015-04-27T11:30:39.230-04:002015-04-27T11:30:39.230-04:00Me, too.

It's interesting that people spew hate not knowing about you. Not interesting, more hateful than interesting...but what I mean is that if gives you insight to people's real selves. You are amazing for not unfriending immediately, and for giving people the benefit of the doubt. I don't know that I'd be that nice. I unfriended quite a few people when the issue of gay marriage was at it's peak, and I did it without question. What I'm saying is that you are amazing.

I love that you've bought a baton - I look forward to the performance when you are ready :)<br /><br />I thought of you when I saw the Bruce Jenner interview. I realised that this would be both good and bad news for you - some people will now have much more of an understanding, others will see it as an excuse to share their hatred. I sincerely hope that you do not get any of the latter, and that Bruce is able to deal with anything that is thrown that way. People can be so cruel and it is so unnecessary. <br />Zoe at Splodz Blogzhttp://splodzblogz.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-59859203027639691452015-04-26T23:30:03.538-04:002015-04-26T23:30:03.538-04:00We're trying our hand at gardening this year. ...We're trying our hand at gardening this year.
