I am a relative new-comer to the Mens Group, and I want to say that last night's meeting about transgender issues was very powerful and moving for me.The speakers were saying, I think, that they are in the midst of a unique journey, for which their life experiences had provided no strategies. Maybe making presentations such as to us might suggest one (strategy). At the end of the evening, I applauded their optimism, but I don't think I feel it myself. I really can't quite relate to the transgender world. But I appreciate their openness and generosity. Thanks.
Voy a hacer eco a quienes quedaron impresionados con los dos trannys que nos hablaron. Nada mejor podria existir que las buenas relaciones entre todas personas. Es primordial la convivencia pacifica sobre todo con nuestros/as hermanos/as; entre mas cerca, mas dialogo y mutuo intercambio en pro del desarrollo personal: seria lo ideal. Aveces hay una complacencia o alguna forma de tapar las cosas y eso no nos ha hecho bien, como sociedad, como comunidad. Hay que decir las cosas como son.
