I have had job interviews end with the interviewer laughing in the back room and making derogatory comments, in my process to a new life. It is what many Black folks take as common in their life and situation. As a Caucasian, the experience does not make me a Black person, but it sure has given me an appreciation and understanding to life's bigotry and hate.Stellewriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09973665718883183659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-29439171954322340642008-04-05T12:02:00.000-05:002008-04-05T12:02:00.000-05:00Greetings, my sista and comrade in the struggle,I ...Greetings, my sista and comrade in the struggle,<BR/><BR/>I just stumbled upon your blog and I am happy to link you on my site! <BR/><BR/>I appreciate your openness and your truth!<BR/><BR/>Warmest thanks,<BR/>Minister Lisa VazquezLISA VAZQUEZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583559303233985031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-8910980224605966772008-04-05T11:16:00.000-05:002008-04-05T11:16:00.000-05:00Trinity,I believe Matthew 19:12 is more applicable...Trinity,<BR/>I believe Matthew 19:12 is more applicable to transgender and intersex people, but I can see your point where it could possibly be interpreted as a gay frienddly scripture as well<BR/><BR/>The part of the scripture where it states 'eunuchs so born form their mother's womb' can apply either to transpeople or intersex peeps, who are biorn with ambiguous genitalia.<BR/><BR/>A eunuch had their penis and testicles removed back in the day.<BR/>That is what happens during an SRS for a transperson, except that the penis is inverted to become the vaginal canal. ;)Monica Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702533200851174728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-56241492729884240572008-04-05T11:12:00.000-05:002008-04-05T11:12:00.000-05:00Monica,That makes tons of sense. :)I wasn't arguin...Monica,<BR/><BR/>That makes tons of sense. :)<BR/><BR/>I wasn't arguing, just noting that I'd only seen it interpreted as Jesus saying it's OK to be gay.Trinityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06846032433424879965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-71976695775731718382008-04-05T10:50:00.000-05:002008-04-05T10:50:00.000-05:00Monica,I've heard that "eunuchs" quote interpreted...Monica,<BR/><BR/>I've heard that "eunuchs" quote interpreted as a reference to <A HREF="http://www.cathedralofhope.com/NetCommunity/Page.aspx?&pid=225&srcid=305" REL="nofollow">gay men</A>, actually, not to trans people -- but it certainly sounds to me like it could easily apply to either or both (if people drew any meaningful distinction between the two in the society of the time, which they may not have anyway.)Trinityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06846032433424879965noreply@blogger.com
