La vida de un pequeño latino y indio transgénero ...(or the life of a little Latino/Native trangenderist)...and it's a life that requires a sense of humor!

For nothing is fixed, forever and forever and forever, it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have. The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.
--James Baldwin

Gay people are like Swiss Army knives! They can do everything!
--Sherman Alexie

I was silent as a child, and silenced as a young woman; I am taking my lumps and bumps for being a big mouth, now, but usually from those whose opinion I don't respect.
--Sandra Cisneros

What doesn't kill you makes you fuckin' funny!!

I am a middle-aged, multi-ethnic, multi-gender, former foster/street kid turned social worker, and I am working on a second graduate degree in psychology.

I never expected to make it this far...or live so long. Nothing is fixed, not even the "destinies" set for us by those in authority.

Change is the only constant.

(And by the way, I do NOT like the Grateful Dead...I am just prematurely gray.)
