If you’re read my blog from two weeks ago that I was going to abandon my gender nonconforming adventures, kindly disregard it. I’ll keep the post up but don’t believe it. I wasn’t loving myself enough and felt depressed. That included all the negativity toward Bud Light and Dylan Mulvaney as well as others’ opinions on my journey.
Let’s get one thing straight, the word “woke” is so stupid and the way it’s used is unacceptable. If I ever come across it, I will shut you down.
I’m not ending this adventure yet (if I ever end it) because it would be a wasted opportunity since I didn’t look into finding a community or therapy. Therapy is my next step but I’ve held back since I’m worried that I would put my family on blast. I have support, especially from my Giant Eagle and WIS families (my store leader and present and past coworkers, as well as my adopted sisters).
I almost changed my appearance for Saturday’s TLI but then thought it was going to be too expensive to uproot my whole wardrobe in such a short time. I loved the outfit that I picked out for the event, including my leopard scarf and my Coach purse. Toastmaster Dana agreed and he was proud that I stayed true to myself. Both Dana’s would tell me the same thing. The incoming Division B Director agreed with me and I loved her Michael Kors purse as well (I’m still interested in a three in one set I saw at Christmastime).
Leaving the event yesterday to head home, I knew I had to keep on doing this no matter what anyone says or thinks. Family included.
When you really want something, you play through the pain.
Lessons learned: Don’t change for anyone. Be True to You. Stay true to you.
