 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2025 - I’VE MADE IT

Quoted text from an NPR - National Public Radio story:

On day one, newly inaugurated President Trump signed an order aimed at eliminating the idea of a "gender identity" separate from sex in the federal government. The order's scope is broad — it rescinds a long list of Biden-era policies, changes "gender" to "sex" on government forms and calls to end funding for "gender ideology."

So, there are “officially” (at least as far as the current American ideology goes), that a person is either a male or a female.  There are no transgender people.  

Now, I know that some appeal to the “gender at birth” concept.  That’s nice - but not quite true.  

Gender identities difficulties get in trouble in the restrooms.  Standing outside the two doors to restrooms, which do I enter?  That’s not a tough question.  I don’t have the body to go into the men’s restroom.  I can only sit down when I go to the restroom.  Now, there are toilet stalls in men’s restrooms, but the main facilities in men’s restrooms are for men standing up to empty their bodily waste liquids.  I can’t do that.  If I try, i will end up with embarrassing wet clothes and liquid on the floor.

Therefore because of my anatomy, I must (have to) use the women’s restroom.  I’m very happy with that.  I’m dressed as a woman, I live as a woman, I have a driver’s license that says I’m a woman, I have a court order that says I am a woman (with the name of Karen Anne White).  Ergo - I am a woman - and since the concept of transgender has flown away, and there are two genders, I am a woman.  

Now, there are debates about women(who previously identified as males) using restrooms.  The literature seems to suggest that such issues just don’t happen.  The few court cases that exist seem to indicate teenagers (who formerly identified as males) are not really a bigger problem than CIS females abusing girls in restrooms.  (Likewise, males molesting males seems not to be divided on gay and CIS males.

Most of my readers know that something happened to me in April 2016.  I hadn’t been as loving and forgiving as I should me.  “And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us.”  I was quick to ask God to forgive me, but slow to forgive others (especially those who were different than me).  

I’ve been learning and living the way of LOVE - Love all people, forgive all people (like Jesus on the cross “Father, forgive them, they don’t know what they are doing”). Forgive everybody, and love everybody.

And, as a woman, I do want to completely and totally do this.  “Make me an instrument of your peace.

-"Lord, make me an instrument of Your Peace, Where there is hatred, let me sow Love. where there is injury, Pardon. Where there is doubt, Faith. Where there is despair, Hope. where there is darkness, Light. Where there is sadness, Joy..."

*****

God, let me love (agape love) all people - loving them, forgiving them, walking with them, and supporting them.

LOVE WINSS

LOVE TRANSFORMS
