Lona Currie is the host of a podcast called Recovery Soulfood. He is a man of courage as he has battled with himself and others in being who he really is. He is transgender man who I am proud to call my friend. For many transgender people, living openly can be its own act of defiance in a society that continues to set rigid cultural norms for gender identity and expression.
Transgender people face stigma surrounding who they are from an early age. Often rooted in inaccurate beliefs and politically-motivated attacks on transgender identities. Transgender people face devastating levels of discrimination and harassment in the workplace. Transgender people are especially vulnerable when it comes to accessing social services and health care, including finding doctors who respect and affirm their identities. We can go on and on regarding inequalities such as family issues, legal equality in the definition of hate crimes, and even facing disproportionate rates of poverty and homelessness in the United States.
It is clear that hatred is taught as young children that have never been brain washed by a parent can sit in a room with all nationalities, races, genders, and colors with no conflict nor thought on differences. By looking at that, we have mindless people that can’t think for themselves full of hate. We could also look at hatred within agendas. Religion’s by many of those that practice, are grounded within judgement and hatred.
My book, “Pain, Failure and Misery are the Stepping Stones to success covers an enormous amount of information and even goes way beyond substance abuse. In one chapter, I delve into personal power and thinking for oneself and not through the minds of others.
