In the last few weeks I have experienced the whole range of emotions. From Joy to fear to compete dismay. I have made it my life's goal to take on each challenge I am presented with as a learning opportunity.
I have been asked to speak at a educational community event, more specifically about sex and being a masculine transgender male. This of course is way outside of my wheel house for a lot of reasons, more so outside of my comfort zone. I was raised in a conservative society where sex was not something you talked about. Mostly cause if you didn't put a ring on it, you best not be having it. Lol
Even though I find this a bit of an intimidating task, I am taking it on for several reasons. First off, I hope it will help open the door to remove the stigma of dating a transgender person. What I have between my ears should matter way more than what is between my legs. Also, I want to help prevent HIV and AIDS and other STI's. The advances in healthcare for succeed the advances we have made socially in order to protect ourselves. Last but not least, I believe that fear should not dictate my actions, and if something I say or do can help another person, then that is what I want to do.
So for any of you who might be reading, and you are a Gay, Bi or qurstioning male, please come Thursday night to "The Q Austin" for "The Whole Package"
Y'all pray for me. I'm gonna need it.
