On Valentine’s Day we should see and share LOVE not hate
Jussie Smollett apparently has two neighbors that don’t believe him, solely based on their opinions of the neighborhood, not because they were there as witnesses. So, people are questioning the attack on this gay black celebrity because they just don’t FEEL everything lines up.

I like to read articles on Medium from many areas of interest. I looked up politics and read a few articles, then I looked up “transgender”, as it seemed to be fluttering about as relevant, and I wanted to see if something was newsworthy that I may have missed. What came up is what has daunted trans people for decades, once medical intervention could help someone “change” their gender marker. Why it matters to so many people, who don’t have issues with their genitals matching their gender marker, is amazing to me. I would suspect none of these ranting “a boy is a boy, and a girl is a girl” have absolutely no knowledge of the vast amount of literature and medical studies that have transpired since the late 50’s and early 60’s. Why is it so important for people to condemn others by creating a world view that only resembles the majority. It’s bigotry. It’s no different than a white person invalidating being black, or being Asian, or being indigenous. It’s all the same hateful stew, breeded in fear of being insignificate, weak, and powerless.
If you can step back, read literature on the subject, learn and think about how someone else’s happiness is in no way interfering with your life, then maybe we can all enjoy this Valentine’s Day as a celebration of love.
Jussie Smollett has no reason to make up such a horrible story. Did he have the doctors at the hospital make up his wounds? Why are people so on their seats to disbelieve him? If you have no idea what it’s like to live a life of fear just because of your existence, I suggest you shut up and support others. The power of love through belief in them is more powerful than anything, but it requires giving 100% without expecting in return. This is a trait that transphopic, gayphobic, racist, biogots have no experience in.
The pain created so easily on-line is overwhelming us! We need to figure out a method to know when to fight and when to ignore. I’m stunned today to see this day be so unindated by hate. I hope writing about my feelings today may help someone who has just felt the world is so hateful to them, that their emotions have exposed their nervous system to extreme vulnerability that they don’t think they can handle. I hope someone reads this and hears me say “I love you, I don’t know you, but the world’s vibration of good needs your presence more than ever. Don’t leave me. You are loved, even if you can’t see it.”
For all of you faced with the hardship of living trans or gay or lesbian or just other having to explain to someone about trans lives, this article below will help you think, possibly understand even if you don’t have a way to relate.
Compassion is just bringing passion into the world. We need each other more than we need to be distant. Happy Valentine’s Day.
