By Jenelle RoseSuccessful social change is a painfully slow process that can be
accelerated by everyone in the TG community always setting a good
example. Conversely, progress can be reversed by only a few bad examples.
Never let your guard down, be sincere with others, take opportunities to
do outreach without offending people, accept who you
are before seeking acceptance of others, encourage others in the community
to express their feelings in positive ways.
Each of us is at a different point on the "Transgendered spectrum". Each
has made a personal decision about how far on that spectrum they to
journey-i.e. CD, TV, TG, or TS. When we learn to accept other
Transgendered persons for who they are, then we will grow to become a much
more unified Transgendered community. When we reach that point, the
community will achieve far greater results in terms of changing "public
perception" and the discriminations we face every day.
To that end, help people, whether it is by education as a web site or one
on one. Pacifist, activist, TG or straight. Do your part and do whatever
it takes to serve the community.
