I am Mary Jean or Mj.  (She/Her)  I am living my true and finally happy truth. I am a Homemaker and self employed. I sell antique Postcards.
I feel validated for being me and accepting others as they.
I will be very firm about my beliefs. I am very firm on protecting the child. I am very firm on protecting the family. I want the same protections for all races, all genders, and almost all sexual preferences.
I will forget names even if I remember the lyrics for a song I learned 50 years ago. It is not intentional. Just remind me.
I honestly only care about your gender and sexual identity if you need me to. I see people as spirits in a human shell. Our spirit or soul is who we really share. Our bodies are important. Building our spirits/soul/intelligence is most important.
