I really enjoy yoga, it provides great recovery from the extensive weight training that I do. I tore a muscle in my shoulder bench pressing 350lbs and yoga has helped significantly with my recovery.
I used to have to use the men’s changing room at my local yoga studio, which made me feel terrible about myself as it is not in keeping with my true gender identity. I’d watch the Lululemon-clad 100lb women bounce into their women-only locker room after each class and I couldn’t help but feel excluded and made to feel as a stranger in my own body.
Now all 6’4”, 240lbs of me is welcome into the women’s changing room. There were some questions at first, but upon presentation of my TLQ membership, and me explaining the hurtful nature of their questioning, I have been showering with the young female yoga students I identify with, at least at my more gender fluid times.

I was having a hard time finding a job when I was still in the closet and presenting as a white, CIS gendered, straight male. Ever since I came out of the closet as TLQ I have had a huge increase in callbacks for every job I’ve applied to. I’ve now been at the same company for over a year and have advanced more rapidly here than anywhere else.
My TLQ status actually helps the company with their DEI scores, as they now have a Transgender, Lesbian and a Queer on staff with just one hire. So far I’ve always been feeling especially gender fluid on the day/minute of the survey, so they have an extra female, and one less male, too.

Q: Can this get me in trouble?

Over a half century since the first “Gay Liberation Day March” of 1970, TLQ persons are still not accepted. Fifty years later, the life of a TLQ person is still sadly crippled by the manacles of oppression and the chains of discrimination. Fifty years later, the TLQ person lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean
Over a half century since the first “Gay Liberation Day March” of 1970, TLQ persons are still not accepted. Fifty years later, the life of a TLQ person is still sadly crippled by the manacles of oppression and the chains of discrimination. Fifty years later, the TLQ person lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of social prosperity and acceptance. Fifty years later the TLQ person is still languished in the corners of the LGBTQISSA+ community and finds himself in exile in his own land. The TLQ is still not free.
Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of discrimination to the sunlit path of justice. We will not be satisfied until social justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
We all strive for a day when every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight.
When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men — yes, TLQ men as well as CIS gendered heterosexual men
— would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
If America is to be made a great nation again, this must become true. And so let freedom ring from the recently emancipated servers of Twitter. Let freedom ring from the platitudinous posts of Facebook. Let freedom ring from the echoing chambers on Reddit. Let freedom ring from the peace-sign waving instahoes of Instagram. Let freedom ring from the time wasting videos of TikTok. Let freedom ring from the demonetized videos on YouTube. But not only that, let freedom ring from the endless HR meetings. Let freedom ring from the mandatory social justice classes at work. Let freedom ring from every gender studies department. From every website and employment policy and legislative body, let freedom ring.
