The letters LGBTQ are just another way of saying that Love is Love.
What's In A Name?
I got an email from Medium saying if I don't have 100 followers by 2/23 they'll stop sending my 20 cents a month. I've not tried to build a following, published only a very few articles, and can't even seem to manage a decision on Who to write As. But those few cents a month are more affirming than I first realized. Those tiny deposits represent being paid as a writer. And I have always wanted to call myself a Writer almost as much as I wanted to call myself the woman I have always been.

Being Transgender isn’t a Choice
Some time ago, I had an unfortunate altercation with a distant family member. She had kept her silence regarding my transition until some drama bubbled to the surface regarding another hot button topic. That’s when she revealed her genuine feelings and accused me of being unable to decide which gender I am.

Separating Gender Identity from Sexuality
Often when I see something posted online related to the transgender community, I see a lot of comments from people referring to sexuality instead. Many people seem to be under the mistaken assumption that there’s a relationship between being transgender, or genderqueer, and someone’s sexuality or sexual preferences. This causes confusion between what sexuality and gender identity are.

Dear Lois,
I think about you all the time. I think about how when we first met, you were only 30 and I was 22. You were so mature, so statuesque. I don't think I was as mature as you when I finally reached 30. Back then, you were married with three young children not yet in high school. Forgive me for thinking you were so much older. I can hear you saying it now, "I've always had a very old soul."

How an Open Letter By a 98-Year-Old Mennonite on Gay Marriage Went Viral
Last week my husband and I went on a 2000-mile road trip covering parts of Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. Although the Yellowstone National Park was the highlight of the trip, listening to some incredible podcasts and an audiobook was an epiphany of our long trip. Not only did it introduce us to some brilliant minds and their lives but there wasn't a single moment of monotony and time went by pretty fast.

Kindness, compassion, generosity, love, charity, and goodness. Those are the most important things to be a human, in our hearts and souls. It's also part of beauty and nature to us.
