England... and no, not really
Y,all seem to think Britain is a country... Did you know, it's not, and neither is Europe or Africa Was it Oscar Wilde who said that patriotism was the last refuge of the scoundrel |

Quite, thanks, I've made that same mistake before
How is it,” I once asked him, “that people who are not possessed of a single other virtue should come out at times as patriots?” “Exaggerated patriotism,” he answered, “is the most insincere form of self-conceit.” And at another time he said, “Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.” I guess I meant that 1 |

Am I Proud?
I am proud that I had the strength to actively seek help when I needed it. I am proud that I had the resilience to survive and thrive in a world that can be very hostile to people like me. I am proud that I have accepted who I am. I am proud that I am strong enough to take chances and break down barriers. I am proud to use my spare time to volunteer and help children and youth like me and their parents to come to terms with who their children really are. I am proud to be an Australian and a Christian, but most of all I am Transgender and proud to be so. |

A place where you can be in nature without being concerned with things biting, stinging, sticking and kicking you sounds too good to be true. It's like Pandora here in Texas.
