Thursday, March 16, 2006 WHEN THE STUDENT IS READY, THE TEACHER WILL COMEi was waiting on the corner for the traffic signal to turn, when a transsexual woman came over to me and said "you really should educate people on the challenges transsexual's face". she then went on to describe how frustrating it is for her to be understood by people in her daily life and how people assume she's a transvestite. i said "kiddo, you're preaching to the choir. i understand your frustration, even though i'm not a transsexual". i told her "i've come to realize people aren't interested in changing their uneducated views because with that new knowledge they would also have to restructure their entire belief system from top to bottom. they know the difference between a 'conservative democrat' and a 'liberal republican' and the difference between the 'american baseball league' and the 'national baseball league', but knowing the difference between a transsexual and a transvestite is akin to accepting DARWIN'S theory as fact. that knowledge would unravel the foundation of their faith. i'm not their teacher, they are mine". . | Permalink 2009 RuCo, Inc.—All Rights Reserved |
