After my son’s football game tonight I was excited to come home and post the pictures and videos my wife took of him. I just started this blog last week and told my wife to check it out. When she found out what I was writing about, that I was posting pictures of our family, she got mad. She said I cannot post pictures. She said that if people found out about me that I could lose my job. That people think transgender people are child molesters. That if I posted pictures his friends would find them. Maybe not today. Maybe not until he’s 15. That I would put our family and our lives in danger. And she’s right. It’s not a safe world for transgender people. So sadly, I went online. I deleted the pictures of him playing baseball. And football. From his adoption day. And Disneyland. All of my favorite memories. I had worked so hard trying to figure out how to format this site and upload pictures and create links. I put so much time into it because It was fun and I could share pictures of my family. And for what? So that the world could erase me, because of one simple word.
