Crossroads are a part of life. You cross them or detour to in another direction. Either way, I'm headed somewhere. Life stands still for no one.
My thoughts about about being transgender have been altered periodically. It has been a lovely journey for me thus far. Years ago, the sight of two men or two women holding hands or kissing would have repulsed me. Now I love it! Fifteen years ago, I was incensed when I saw a man on the train wearing women's clothing. Now, I wear women's clothing. Goes to show you that you never know.
Perhaps the things I saw were pricking at my conscience and at my feeling that I was different. Until a few years ago I never knew why. Now as a transgender woman, my desire to see others not be ashamed of who they are. I'm still growing in my knowledge of LGBT and the transgender spectrum, in particular. I will come upon the crossroads from time to time and I must choose which direction I wish to go.
