As I sit here at my new local cafe admiring the physical beauty of males passing by in the reflection of my laptop, I'm filled with a sense of calm and contentment.
I recently moved out of the cooperative housing situation that I had been an integral part of since 2006 here in Madison, WI.
I chose to remove myself from an unsafe living environment, instead of fighting to stay in a situation where I was unwanted. I received two threatening and transphobic (my drag persona is The Lady G) text messages. After having filed a police report, I'm shocked by the depths that people will go to make someone uncomfortable.
I willingly accept responsibility for and have learned from the mistakes I made. I only hope that I'm not the only individual who learned something from this horrible and terrifying experience and the fight for social justice continues.This is the only thing that will make it all worthwhile.
I'm enjoying the freedom of not being forced to be a part of someone's life that I wouldn't be willingly. I feel so much better about not being forced to interact with people who I find loathsome. Likewise, they are no longer forced to be a part of my life.
I'm truly free to live my life as myself. Just the thought of this brings a smile to my face.
