Hi.
We often are reminded that this is the "unofficial start of summer" and the day that it becomes socially accepted to wear white in public but don't forget the sacrifices of the men and women who have given their lives in service in the name of freedom and liberty.
May their sacrifices never be forgotten or be in vain.
Freedom and liberty are for all. We must remember that fact.
Please don't allow someone force an opinion on you about the freedoms Americans enjoy and how we must restrict the freedom of expression or rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" because they disagree with my existence. I'm here. The years of anguish about wanting to no longer be "him" are behind me. I live comfortably as Heather every day. I'm proud to contribute to society and pay my way along the path. 59 years old, I refuse to go back to the closet.
Friends, stand firmly for your principles.
Heather
ps, May and June are the end of our medical calendar year. Annual GP visit, eye doctor and a couple other appointments before the end of June. Yay!
Tomorrow afternoon is the GP visit. She's in her late-sixties and a conservative Filipino Catholic that we've been seeing for nearly 20 years. She's seen me dressed authentically one time but I brushed it off as a gag. But since that time, for every visit I've had my nails "done" and haven't hidden them from anyone in her office. I think that the initial surprise has worn off and since I'm working a half shift and we'll be driving to the city after lunch, I don't intend to change my clothes. I think I might have "the talk" with her and ask about what my next steps will be.
I'll keep ya posted!
