process that I trust starts with psychological evaluation/testing before moving on to more 'invasive' treatment (if adjudged necessary). It would be great if life were simple and binary...the more I learn, it gets "curiouser and curiouser" and we need to expand our capabilities of understanding, patience and caring.
For me, when I witness what appears to be negative bias toward 'non-traditional' individuals, I always flash on the example of Alan Turing, whom I'm sure you know about...in the early/mid 20th century it was actually a crime in Britain to be judged "homosexual" and it drove him to suicide at age 41...that is, after he broke the German 'Enigma' code, shortening WWII, and saving countless millions of lives as well as the freedoms we enjoy today...never mind his impact on the field of Computing.
At Mass we utter the phrase "...in the Hope of Rising again"...this is a hope we share, but not a promise, so I do my level best not to make this unique and blessed gift the best it can be for ALL of those I come in contact with and hoping they'll do the same for others.
