(This is a rare occasion, actually the first time, that I am putting up a post that is about something other than the main purpose this blog is meant for... It's the day of Love - a feeling that transcends every man/woman-made barrier in the world. No wonder then, that it has transcended the barrier of the parameters of this blog. This post is for all those who love... which practically means that it is for EVERYONE. And I dedicate it to the one I love...)
No feeling in the expanse of world
can beat this breezy lightness…
This sense that there’s a hand to hold
through alleys lit with darkness
The knowledge that my step might trip
And yet I will not fall
The certainty that if I do
I’ll have a name to call
The desire to stay who I am
And yet be someone better
The faith that whoever I be
Will be doubtless embraced forever
The dream of a cozy pair of arms
Wrapping my whole lifetime
The fear that daylight just might steal
This precious dream of mine
The trust that despite all the fears
I ought to nurture this dream
The joy that makes my heart so proud
And fills me up to the brim
The sensation of the eternity
Seeping into my being
The rhythm of a melody
My heart’s learning to sing
It’s all so rightfully perfect
And all so perfectly right
It’s magic that I see all day
It’s a perfectly magical night
This Blog is for YOU...
If you are/were Gender Dysphoric - so as to know some from me and share some with me, and reaffirm that none of us is alone... To acknowledge that we have a treasure of insurmountable Courage, Strength and Hope in us. I have a feeling that we were given slightly higher quantities of those special gifts :-) [If you have a question to ask me, you could write it as a Comment to one of the posts, and either I would reply to it as a Comment itself, or probably, respond in one of the future posts on this blog]
If you have never been Gender Dysphoric - so as to understand what it means to have a Gender Identity Disorder. Of course, it primarily depends on whether you want to or not. If you don't, please do make a quiet exit and try not to be a nuisance.
If you're confused - so as to realize that everybody goes through a stage of confusion - the period could be short, or sometimes, very long. What is important is to acknowledge that being unsure until you're sure is as normal and as alright as night before day.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you're a human being - so as to find out for yourself whether you want to try to make the world a better place to live in, for every fellow human being, irrespective of their health, wealth, colour, race, gender, religion and any and every other line of division you can think of.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And finally, this blog is for ME - so as to be able to make some difference somewhere by sharing my experiences, and along the way, slowly grow out of those anxieties and insecurities that have inhabited my life for over 2 decades. It is time to escort them to the door now!
Come, Join me on this journey!

Dhiraj - There is only one person in the world who can help you, and that person is You!
ReplyDeleteI can understand your fear, but trust me, the surgery in Bangkok (Dr. Chettawut - where I went) wasn't painful at all. All you need to do is weigh the two options - fear of surgery or fear of living an identity you don't want?
