Good News!

It is hard to fine good news for us in today's environment... I google "Transgender" for the last seven days and that has come up have been negative political articles, so I tried something different today. I went to an AI to aske the question: "So what was good news for the trans community this week?"

And it came up with this...
"Being see... is not a matter of ego, 'wokeness,' or forcing one's identity on other people," she said. "It is a matter of basic human dignity."

A pastor who is also the mother of a trans son explained why visibility is critical to transgender people’s happiness.

“Being seen, insisting on visibility, is not a matter of ego, ‘wokeness,’ or forcing one’s identity on other people,” Serena Rice explained in an impassioned essay for Advocate. “It is a matter of basic human dignity. It is the instinctive understanding that being seen for who we are is essential to being valued for who we are.”

A desire to be seen for exactly who we are is innate, she explained, comparing the need to be out and proud to a child who breaks out “into a beaming grin” after searching for their parents at the start of an elementary school show.
If you could see a trans child, you would a warm inner glow from finally being their true self. 
Trans people, she said, are facing mounting pressure to hide as rightwing forces do everything in their power to demean their identities, and many on the left abandon the fight to help them.

But trans people, she said, are “made in the image of God… and their trans image is not a mistake.”

“God made them trans on purpose,” she concluded. “They beautifully teach the world about the beauty and power of breaking binary categories that try to hide God’s diverse creativity.”
That is what I have always said, we are here as a test. If I remember my Catechism, Mark 12:31 says this: "‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these." it is in black and white...love your neighbor! it doesn't only if they are straight, or only if the are White, or  only if they are Christian. It say "love your neighbor" PEROID.



More good news... Thumbing Their Noses At Trump, If you remember Trump stripped the bipartisan Board of Directors at the Library of Congress and replaced them with his cronies. But steps on the toes of Congress! Political writes...
Quiet resistance from top Republicans has kept Trump officials out — for now.

GOP congressional leaders have stood aside the past four months as President Donald Trump has attacked legislative branch prerogatives — shuttering agencies, canceling federal grants and imposing sweeping tariffs.

Now he’s meddling in their actual back yard.

A White House push to seize control of the Library of Congress over the past week has run temporarily aground due to quiet but firm resistance from Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, according to three people granted anonymity to describe the sensitive situation.
