Dear Devoted Blog-followers, mine,
I had a lovely comment from a reader, who I will call "muscle spasm" as it loosely relates to her e-mail address. Muscle spasm offered help in getting the word out to help other transgender, gay, or "other" groups, which I greatly appreciate. I wrote to her hoping to hear more about her: her life, her experiences, whether she's a teen or an adult. I've put this request out one other time in my blog and so far, I have no takers.
Perhaps my request was too general. I will put forth a specific request and my e-mail address so that any information you choose to share will not show up in the comments section of the blog and perhaps we can further guarantee your anonymity, if that is what has kept you from sharing your stories thus far.
I cannot begin to tell you how excited I feel when I think about the possibility of linking up with people all over the country, or even the world, to talk about this issue. DJ has opened a whole new world for us and I feel like we (Bulldog is totally behind me on this) might have a unique opportunity to share and spread the word. So, from time to time, I will be posting, for lack of a better word, a questionnaire, or topic. I sincerely hope you will respond. If you are hesitant I ask you to consider this:
This could be an opportunity to help yourself and others like you by sharing small details of your life. You could be that tiny pebble that gets dropped into the water that sends ring after ring of knowledge, support, and truth out to the LGBT world, and possibly even the world in general. Who knows, maybe we can be a grass roots effort that will help change our corner of the world.
So here is this month's specific question:
If you could come up with a list of Dos and Don'ts for other people you work with, or go to school with, what would they include?
For example, "Do use the correct pronoun and Don't apologize more than once if you forget."
If all you can come up with is just a "do" or only a "don't", that's fine too. If you want to be credited with your "Do or Don't" come up with a code name for yourself and if I include "names" you will possibly see yourself in a future blog.
My e-mail is Openarms2lgbt@gmail.com
I will not share your e-mail addresses with anyone. Please respond. "Go ahead, make my day."
