Comic Con

Here's my take on this whole transgender bathroom issue. I can honestly see both sides. I mean....Can we just discredit people who believe in their hearts something may harm a group of people?  Both sides believe they are supporting those made vulnerable by this issue and you can't fault anyone for trying to do what they think is the right thing. Right?

This issue really makes me think about the "leave no child behind" initiative. While misguided in its one size fits all approach the theory is a good one. We should not leave any segment of our society behind, to fend for themselves.  Just like we have taken the time to address the disabled persons needs in life. Because if not we are in essence saying you do not count. This isn't about being politically correct, it's about addressing a real issue, for real people. 

The thing I find the most odd about this specific issue is that I can't for the life of me figure out when and how this became an issue. Transgender people look like the sex they feel like. If Chris Jenner decides to dress like a man one day he isn't going to go walking into the girls bathroom that day. He just isn't. No one is that much of an idiot. No? This doesn't appear to me to have ever been a real issue. Or does no one else see that I wonder?

It's such lunacy that I find it actually really funny. If this is such a serious issue then someone please tell me what the bathrooms at Comic Con look like? Because that must be really whacka-doodle. 

The "twelve steps" program condensed into one.

If you want to atone for mistakes. If you want to atone from the past. From the mistakes you've made. The roads you should not have taken. Realize that the only true way to atone is to come out of it. To truly escape it.  And how do you do that?

You live your truth. You live your heart. Without fear. Because when it comes down to it, each of us in this life has to be our own hero.  For some of us that was modeled, for most of us it is not and when it is I'm not sure how realistically it is modeled (thinking TV and comics). Don't get me wrong. I'd love to be Jessica Jones. Except she's absolutely miserable, alone and bitter. And her being beautiful and powerful doesn't make up for that. That her interactions are 100 times more intense than anything we do in our daily lives doesn't make up for the fact that it's never silly, funny and frivolous which life at its core truly is (just a crude example). 

Point is.  To be the best version of you, the one you see glimmers of when you look in the mirror, you have to live the example. And it's not hard to do, not for a second. It's easy as pie when you lead your life with your heart first.
