Defining Transgender & Third Gender

Living gay, or transgender, is not a choice, or lifestyle, it is who people are. As humans everyone’s feelings, and emotions, are intertwined within our personalities from birth. The American Psychologists Association (APA) defines the word transgender “as an umbrella term for persons whose gender identity, gender expression, or behavior, does not conform to that typically associated with the sex to which they were assigned at birth. Gender identity refers to a person’s internal sense of being male, female, or something else.” Even as children LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay,Bisexual,Transgender, Queer) people grow up knowing who they want to be; and what measure they will take to be or not to be who they truly are in society. Environment, culture, and religion, shape humans into choosing whether or not to accept themselves for who they truly are. Accepting society’s view over our personal views, can cause LGBTQ individuals to be trapped, and not live truthfully, in society. These people are held captive by the rules of society. Some of them never fully engage in life, because of fear of not being accepted. They usually live as LGBTQ in secrecy, on the down low (DL) causing more harm to them, than good. There are no gender rules, but there are gender roles. Wikipedia defines third gender/third sex, as “individuals who are categorized (by their will or social consensus) as neither man, nor woman. Although biology usually genetically determines whether a human’s biological sex will be male, or female, intersex people are born as well.
Third gender and LGBTQ individuals’ transitions can be different for each person. Some people transition where you can not tell their gender identity, and with some you can. Either way there are no rules, of what you have to do to be a male, female, or intersex. An individuals sexuality, or gender do not determine, a persons capabilities in life. The only decision is what kind of human do you want to be?
According to the APA, “people use clothing, hairstyle, voice, behavior, and body characteristics, to communicate their gender identity to others.” Here are suggestions for what can be changed in order to transition your gender identity.
1. Clothing
Buy clothing that makes you feel suitable, and comfortable, in your gender type. Make sure your style of dress expresses the gender perception that you want to perceive. There are many styles, and colors, to choose from. You can mix and match clothing to make up your own style. My clothing varies daily. However, I make sure I wear what I want, and not what someone else wants. Perception is everything, what people see you as is what they will associate you with.
2. Hair
Whether short or long, colored or not, make your hair fit you. Don’t be scared to try something new. Cutting my hair marked the beginning of my journey for my transition. Once I cut my hair I felt free, and more masculine. It made me more secure in the gender role I am. For male to female transition (MTF) you may even consider growing your hair, and using extensions, or wigs.
3. Voice
Some people learn how to speak in higher or lower octaves. Practicing voice levels, exercises your voice to be able to go higher, or lower. You can strain your voice talking in a way you are not used to. Voice exercise will make your voice able to sound more feminine or masculine.
4. Physical Appearance of the Body
Working out and getting fit prepares your body to be the best new you can be. If you’re looking for a masculine appearance you may body build using weights, or calisthenics? If you’re looking for a feminine look, you may trim down with cardiovascular exercises like jogging, or bicycling. Masculine transition would more likely build muscle. While a feminine transition would tone down to be slender. Or you can do both, I personally toned down to build muscle, that would show.
5. Perception/Behavior You will see your behavior change as you gain confidence in your new look. The mind is the center of your transition. You can have a great appearance; however, if your perception is not right than you can’t fully transition. The mind makes the body look the way it perceives it to be. Make sure you research, and learn what you are, so you can be who you are. The more you learn, the more confidence you will build, making you stunningly marvelous to be who you are.

Is Heaven Designed for Bishop Eddie Long?

Americans all over the United States have turned their televisions to BET’s (Black Entertainment Television) cable station and seen Bishop Eddie Long of Atlanta’s New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, preaching or doing a commercial, at one point in time. Leading a mega church with over 25,000 members the prominent Bishop Long is hard to miss. In 2004, one month after voters approved an amendment in the state of Georgia’s constitution that banned gay marriage; Bishop Long led his congregation in a march of over 25,000 people against gay rights. Long is one of the most vocal activists against gay rights, and gay marriage in the Black Church.
For attempting to set such a strong example of heterosexual role modeling for Black Christians in Church today Bishop Long failed. In September of 2010 multiple allegations of four young men in their twenties, accused Long of sexual misconduct. The young men had evidence of how Long abused his spiritual guidance for youth. The evidence Bishop Long faced was in the cell phone messages, texts, and portraits, he exchanged with the four young men. Maurice Robinson, Jamal Parris, Anthony Flagg, Spencer LeGrande, and one anonymous young man, accused Long of seducing them as teenagers, and using church funds to do it. Long gave the four teenagers cash, cars, trips across the world, and gifts in exchange for sexual favors. It all began when Bishop Long befriended the teenagers between the ages 14-16 years old.
When Bishop Long spoke to his congregation of New Birth, for the first time after these allegations, Bishop Long vowed to fight the charges, and his day in court would come. While outside the church Long’s spokesperson refused any comment, and his legal team began instantly negotiating with plaintiffs.
In May of 2011 Bishop Long settled out on this same case he claimed he would fight. It was reported that Long settled the payout with an amount between 15-25 million dollars. Importantly the settlement was with a gag order.
This case is one of many that happen regularly in Black Churches across the U.S.A. Even though this case could have opened a much needed dialogue in the Black Church and Community on such topics as AIDS, homosexuality, and molestation, it could not because of the gag order. Yes the victims were compensated, but the Black Church was not. By silencing problems of importance, the stigmas in the Black Church have gotten worst. In late September, in Atlanta when Long was accused, 20 ministers gathered to pray especially for Bishop Long, and not one of them prayed for the four young men. These men were turned away by the Black Church, when they should have been loved. Bishop Long was even crowned like a king by Jewish leaders, while one of the young men attempted to committed suicide.
Religious leaders are treated as “gods” in more cases than one. But even “gods” make mistakes. But how they are even crowned gods when they prey, molest, and rape, young children. Where is the justice for our children? By leaving Bishop Long in the pulpit it says religious leaders can do whatever they want even if it’s wrong, and get away unscathed. However, humans are all equal. Religion is a choice for adults; however, it is forced on our children to believe. Yet, no one protects our children when they are violated, by the “gods”, preachers, priests, prophets, evangelists, bishops, apostles, and popes, we tell them to trust. Due to forgiveness, if violators, rapists, and murderers, or Bishop Long repents they can go to heaven. Where is the validation for the victims. So religion teaches as long as you apologize, you can do anything and still be rewarded. Victims are forced in a hell with the pain of seeing their rapist, molester,or murderer, rejoicing in heaven. It’s time for equality in our world today. The truth of religions lies needs to be recognized, in the Black Church, and Community, in order for them to move forward. It will come as evidence continues to wake humans from their willful ignorance, into learning truth.

Adam and Eve

                         

The King James Version of the Christian bible has some people believing evolution is not true. However, news for creationists in the world has changed with tecnology and the internet, evolution is in fact true. Sciencetist have proven with evidence that the contradictions of the bible are put to rest by today’s research, and history. Religions of the world are dying out at astonishing rates. 
For an omnipotent, omnipresent, and  omniscient, “god”, no part of the bible, or any other religions doctrines should not contradict itself. Every word should be written correctly and perfect just as it is stated in John 1:1 “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with god and the word was god.” If the word lies that means god is untrue too.
In the begining of the bible we find men and women created before Adam and Eve.   “So god created man in his own image;in the image of god created he him; male and female created he them” Genesis 1:27  This verse in the Jewish Midrashic texts say the first woman was named Lilith and Eve was second.   Lilith left  Adam because she refused to be inferior, and lay beneath him. We then find a lonely Adam  in Genisis chapter 2, so “god” makes Adam a companione Eve, who is  created from Adam’s rib.            
Genesis 2:22 ” Then the lord god made a woman from the rib, he had taken out of the man…. ” Here chapter 2 contradicts chapter one. If “god” made man and woman in Genesis chapter 1, then why was Adam’s rib needed to make Eve in Genesis chapter 2.
So who are humanity’s first humans Adam, Lilith, or Eve? Eve appears to have been used to symbolize womanhood, but what about Lilith?What role would Lilith play? Having more than on first female in the world sounds like hogwash to me. Someone’s lying, yet only science can prove with natural evidence. This being because most religions are based on belief through faith in the supernatural.
Once humanity was created life reproduced itself and populated the earth. Adam and Scrap story leave speculation of incest to populate the earth. As the first humans Eve was the only female. Scientifically, only 4% of birth defects are caused by reproduction thru incest. So it is possible that Eve slept with her children, and  grandchildren , nephews, and cousins, to populate the earth. I almost belived this was what the bible was stating, until I remembered how Genesis 1:27 says humans were created together, equally. Which verse is right? These are not reasonable questions for a omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, “god”. Too much confusion already in the book Genesis is in the beginning of the book. These verses were used by its writer to instill inferiority in women, and ignorance for humans to not learn the truth.  Evolution vs creationism, becomes a fight only for ignorant humans that don’t want to learn. Intelligence in life is necessary for longevity survival.  Ignorance even through religion, is an excuse to be lazy.
So the questions remains the same. If man tampered with the bible, why believe anything it says. It’s origin only reaches so far. Blood shed for money, poverty for intelligence, race for time, superiority for gender, become life. Just think of the symbols, and words, on our American dollar bill that say,  “in god we trust”.  Money, power, and respect, go along way. People have been tricked out of their money, power, and respect, by a omni-perfect “god” through the lies of his doctrine in life, for nothing we know later. Science proves intelligence can surpass any prayer. Action causes change, whether we know why or not.
In the world today there are at least 38,000 denominations of Christianity. There are also 42 different translations of the bible.  The bible contradicts its own Christian community.  Why so many denominations, and translations for one omni-perfect “god”?
                         

Filibuster

                                

Right now as we move forward into four more years with President Obama, there are some changes that need to be made. For years the filibuster has been used to delay legislation. A filibuster is a parliamentaary procedure used by an individual, allowing a member to delay or prevent a vote on any given proposal. It is characterized as a form of obstruction on legislature.
Senate rules allow a senator, or series of senators to speak as long as they wish on as many topics they choose. Unless three-fiths of the senators duly chosen and sworn, bring the debate to close by invoking cloture. Under current Senates rule, a rule can be filibustered with only two thirds of the senators present and voting, that all that’s needed to vote and end a debate. As opposed to the three-fifths of them sworn in.
Despite the rules of the Senate, it is possible that the filibuster can be changed.
In 1892 a rulling according to the Supreme Court, United States vs Ballin case made it so Senate rules could be achieved by majority. This filling has led us to where we are today. The human race is looking for equality. Gender, race, sexuality,and class no longer determine how people should be treated. The belief that majorities rule does not satisfy our culture anymore. Humans are now moving forward into new ways to respect every human equally. Senate has to find new ways to make sure when majority rules, no one is cheating.
                        

President Obama’s Drones

                            

Look up in the sky, it’s a bird…          It ‘s a a plane………no its a drone.  Today’s technology has made war, a fight humans don’t have to be present for.  Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UVA)  better known as drones, are aircraft warriors used for war. The drones kill and fight controlled autonomously by computers inside of it, or under remote control of a navigator, or a pilot called a Combat Systems Officer, on the ground in another vehicle. 
                       

Drones come in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. This makes it hard for people to distinguish it from a typical recreational remote control plane.  Right now the USA is the only country with fully active drones. China has training drones until they have more experience to be fully operational. The USA is ahead in technology but we have not been using it responsibly. Since President Obama has been in office 300 of the 319 drone attacks in the past four years have killed 2,500 people. Some of the people killed by the drones were civilian insurgents, but many were also terrorists.
                           

Before the 2012 election the Obama administration has been urgent to explain its rules and validate drone killing.  This made the public aware of the silent drone atacks, which sometimes killed American citizens as well as terrorists.  These attacks are so dangerous because they kill terrorists, by any means necessary. Even if it takes a innocent life. The ACLU is battling over this controversal target killing programme. The program and its kill list need to be adjusted to save the innocent. Especially when the people killed, and on the kill list have not been convicted or judged. 

So as the Obama Administration writess new agenda for the drone in 2013 maybe it will consort of more, scientific reaserch, transport, remote signaling,  or oil, and gas, and mineral exploration and production. We are looking for less innocent people being put to death worldwide.

The Birth of A Leader

Trying so hard and its never enough, births a true leader by never giving up.
By cheating you shorten your steps, and delay your evolution to success.
Don’t be selfish, it causes rage in others, that will keep them away.
Be accountable and accept your responsibilities, so failure becomes no option, or disease.
Truth is your burning desire, it breaths through the knowledge you acquire.
Intelligence will help you understand, unlike religion science and history were not created by man.
Life is evolution, with no place to escape, unless you die.
One who knows everything is silent to learn.
Practice makes perfect, by leaving no option for failure.
By never giving up one can achieve.

Survival of Man’s Con

                              

Every man has a con. Some are healthy and some are not. The con of man is in his heart. The human mind sometimes kills it’s own heart. Call it metaphysics, or conscious thought, auto suggestion to the mind can disarray the heart. Just cause one has a good heart does not mean it can’t be corrupted by their mind.
The con of man is either in love or not. No failure is not an option, a man will run you over towards their con.  Survival of the fittest at its best is demonstrated in the achievement of a man’s con.  Love, money, religion, politics, power, sex, and addictions, are the basic cons of humans. So either help them get their con or die being in the way.

Letter: More support for gay, lesbian teens. Due to no self acceptance, and societies social and religious condemning, gay teens are a 3-1 ratio with heterosexual teens commiting suicide. Once again the lies of religion kill these youth using human pillars. Religions lies are being brought into truth. People are tired of losing loved ones because leaders of society want control. Equal rights does not give precedence based on a “god”, or money. All human lives are of great value.

PRAYER IS NOT NEEDED FOR ACTION

            

     Religion plays tricks on the human mind, by making imagination reality. The subconscious mind translates it’s thought’s into reality, no matter if it is driven by fear, courage, anger, or faith.  The subconscious mind transforms life into its physical equivalents. This is driven by the most direct practical way it can be carried out, at any order given to it, in faith, or belief.  In other words people become what they think.
        Faith is defined in Webster’s Dictionary, as complete trust or confidence, in someone or something.  Faith is also defined as a strong belief in “god” or the doctrines of religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof. Belief is defined as an acceptance that a statement is true, or that something exists. Belief is also something once accepted as true or real; is based on a firmly held opinion or conviction. Whether you trust to have faith, or believe on opinion, in someone, thing, or religion, without proof your faith or belief is false. Some people believe in Santa Clause,  or the Easter Bunny, but they are not real. 
     So people can have faith or belief that a “god/gods” will make a donkey speak, as “god” did for Balaam in Numbers 22:28-30 of the christian bible.  The difference lies in what one believes as truth. Evolution has not yet made donkeys capable of speaking human being’s languages.
     Prayer is believed by religious followers to fix anything. I don’t see how when there are starving children all over the world, who have been praying to eat, and still starving.  Prayer relys on faith in imaginary “god/gods” and doctrines of lies.  Religion being a prime example of lies is unecessary for survival according to science’s M Theory.  Knowledge, and thought, are in logical, real, proven facts, and theories: that are necessary to live in the physical or natural world. To be true in action in one or more of the humans 5 senses, are necessary to be present in life.  Science says donkeys do not talk, but people believe Balaam’s donkey did.   Unless it is proven true in religions faith to believe it, is false.
      Science and religion have been battling for front stage, for years, but today in society science wins.  Religion looses everytime because it lacks proof. Hebrews 11:1, states faith is the evidence of things hoped for and not seen.  Followimg this definition would make someone believe Balaam’s donkey spoke .
     The question lies with each individual as to believing in truth or untruth. Trusting evidence of things hoped for and unseen, verses facts proven by evidence touched and seen recorded through history. Science makes reality, driven by action in truth, at times course. Prayer gives hope that imagination even when not seen can be true. So why pray? Why not skip believing in imagination of “god” fixing it and fix it yourself?
    Religions followers often accept poverty for imagination that their “god/gods” exist.  Giving their lives away in exchange for riches later in death that no man has come from death to tell about. Prayer has become an excuse to fail, and give up. Statistics show religion gives up life, knowledge, and sucess, in exchange for streets of diamond and gold after death. The choice is yours to solve life’s problems. One can pray now to imagine a problem is solved, or do something and fix it now.  You can believe and have faith, or take your power and make a change. Science prooves to us that action makes change occur not prayer.
    

The After Shock

             

As I open my eyes I see the damage I have caused.
I ridicule myself at the thought of the seconds of my life I have lost.
Caught up in a sunami bigger than I
my life was almost washed away until I found your tree of life to cling unto to survive.
Now after the waters have receeded I have been given a choice life or death?
I choose life and I contain the power to succeed it.
I learned in the library books god is a lie and the devil does not exist.
The sunami I experienced was part of nature’s life and if I had listened to the truth and went to higher ground I would not almost have drowned.
So as I live my mission is life at it’s best.
I have one shot.
I was put here like all humans with a choice to give it all I got.
I made knowledge my power.
Fear nor failure are options.
There is nothing I can not do.
Now that I am an atheist I must pay attention to what I say and do.
I am aware of power and control.
I know that humans will do anything to own, and contorl anything.
However I am a part of a new minority
The Peculiar Nation.
I stand on knowledge prooven by truth and logostics.
The matrix is a bitch and im gonna fuck it so hard.
The matrix was desined to enslave all human races
The only way to destroy the matrix is through true knowledge.
So watch as I create my after shock…
