Now What ?

Well, I am now not just unemployed but homeless as of Dec 15, 2010. I am an unemployed homeless Vet. I have left 10 voice messages for the "homeless Veteran" counselor at the VA (Veterans Administration) and he still has not returned my calls. Lovely, huh? I know there is only 10 million of us that will be sleeping in shelters or on the streets this X-Mas, but give it a few more years and if our congress continues this way there will be more. When is it enough? When will the American people rise up together (regardless of color, creed, gender and all that useless packaging we put ourselves in) and take our country back? Those congressmen and women were put there for the people, by the people, not for the rich, by the rich. Anyways, see ya all on the flip side. I am off to a new and never visited world for me. Really, just another chapter in my adventurous life.

Assistance for an Unemployed Tranny

Well, my unemployment has run its course and our "great politicians" have failed to extend it yet. I have been searching for places that may be able to offer me food and housing assistance until I finally get employed but wouldn't ya know it....none of them are willing to help. Social services won't help because I don't have kids. The shelters are all full and overflowing. The V.A. has set an appointment for me but that's not guaranteed either. One good thing is they are all offering me food--now that I don't have a fridge to put it in. Maybe I will get lucky and be arrested for being homeless and then I will get my very own bed, shelter, and food.

Some shelters have denied me because I am transgendered. Where would they put me? Next to a family so I could corrupt their children's minds? The more I live, the more I notice how much they really do hate us (trannys). I don't understand it. How could one human being be so hateful to another? Just because people like me are different doesn't mean we will corrupt your children or give you the "tranny disease".

My heart is full of hurt. It hurts for all who have been punished for being themselves. The very ones that have the courage get the very short end of the stick. Well, World, you will never get rid of me, you will never defeat me and I will never hang my head in shame. I am stronger than you. I am smarter than you. And, my heart is bigger than yours. So, in conclusion: you can stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

DADT Update

Don't Ask, Don't Tell Discharges Hit Lesbians Hardest

Interesting aol news piece. Discusses the disproportionate discharge of Lesbians compared to Gays in the armed forces. I find it interesting to note that transpeople are not mentioned. Will have to do a little more seraching to find out how DADT handles trannys.
