Following the election a few stories of transgender success at the polls have come to the surface.
However, we have seen enough stories to give us hope for the future. The unthinkable "too good be true" for many of us may not be. We can indeed make a difference as an active transgender public servant.
Obviously though, the journey is just beginning.
The future of course is with our trans youth. In that spirit I am reposting the story of Sarah McBride from this spring,
Until last week, American University students knew their student government president Sarah McBride as Tim McBride. But on the night of April 30, McBride stepped down from office, and into a largely welcoming university community that embraced her decision to come out as a transgender woman after struggling with her gender identity for 21 years.
At the time, Sarah stepped down as the student president citing conflicts between her identity and being president.
Hopefully, the future will not make being transgender an issue!

So Much for Predictions
I am really glad the election is over and my home state of Ohio didn't screw it up for the country. For what ever reason, Florida wants to keep that title. I could be cynical and say they still could be voting there for all I know. More realistically they at the least are still counting! Doesn't matter, we still have an official winner-on time.
Also on time is my body shifting back to a little higher feminizing mode. I have been back on the summer dosage of hormones for the last week As I wrote before I had to cut back to a smaller dosage as I waited for the VA to work their magic. Now my breasts are getting a little sorer again so life is good.
In the life goes on department in Cyrsti's Condo...Let's see, playing with my big hair over the top "drag" look was fun.
My heart is still going out to all those poor folks on the East Coast who are still powerless and now are getting yet another storm.
Finally I still recoil and get physically ill at the sight of Rude Paul.
It doesn't seem possible the holiday season is almost here too. It's a time of fun with family and friends but at the same time the loneliest time of the year for some in the transgender community rejected by those close to them.
Plus, let's not forget the Mayans predicted this was it anyhow. So I need to get ready.
