Alright guys, gals, and enbys, it might be a billion degrees out right now and the bus was late and I'm dripping sweat in public transportation, but GUESS WHO IS WEARING A DRESS TO THE OFFICE FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY??

I have some news for members of the united states armed forces who feel like they are pawns in a political game and their assignments being unnecessary.

I’m not a linguist, so there’s every possibility in the world that I’m not defining things correctly, but in the same way that cold is the absence of heat, I do think that shame is the absence of pride.

It’d be easy to say that it’s silly to be ashamed of aspects of yourself, but that’s neither true nor fair.  If you’re ashamed of the circumstances of your birth, that doesn’t come from you, that comes from a world that has socially conditioned you to believe you are less than.

I grew up in a politically conservative family.  I’d be in the car or on the couch or in the kitchen and my parents would have on conservative talk radio or fox news or similar, and I was conditioned to think that my gender issues were something that I should be ashamed of, something I needed to keep hidden. 

My shame was a learned behavior taught to me by my family.

It took decades, but I did learn to love myself.

I did come out.

I did develop a sense of pride over who I am.

If you’re someone who’s in the closet, or someone who is struggling with their identity, or feeling shame over who you are, you’re not alone. 

You’re also not to blame for feeling that shame.  There are always going to be people who try to “other��� folks.  Those people are the issue, not you. 

It takes time to overcome the feeling; it doesn’t happen overnight.

Someday, I hope you can feel the same pride I do now.

Happy pride.
