"The Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection, should demean themselves as good citizens."
George Washington

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.


Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.

Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.
Martin Luther King Jr.

Manic Monday

Lisa’s Manic Monday #174



What is the longest love relationship (partner) you have had, and if it has ended, why?
I think all my relationships ended because the women could sense that I was holding back a part of myself. I always had my gender issues there in the background.

What is on your bedside table?
Lamp, flashlight, fingernail file, body lotion and an alarm clock.

How many pillows do you have on your bed? Do you make your bed every day?
Three pillows and I straighten out my bed each day.

I was deeply in the closet until I was 50, it was not until then did I come to terms with the fact that I am transgender. I think that the women that I dated could sense that I wasn't giving my whole self to the relationship and that I was holding something back.

Now that I am out, most straight women (I hate putting labels on people) do not want to date transsexuals nor do most lesbians. Therefore, my dating pool is extremely limited.
