"Dad, you look really good"

»

EDITORIAL.- "Dad, you are very pretty" is what Allyson Robinson's son exclaimed when he saw his father come out of the bathroom wearing a skirt and a tight shirt. In Robinson's words, "At that moment I knew everything was going to be okay."

The path traveled by Allyson until that moment is worthy of a Hollywood feature film and is also exemplary. Leader of the movement for the rights of transsexuals, Allyson is married and is the father of 4 children who are educated as if they were a lesbian couple. The two older ones still remember their father who looked like a man before the transition, which was slow and progressive and was carried out with the advice of a psychologist.

But to take that step Allyson had to previously renounce his membership in the United States Army. A West Point graduate, she went on to serve as a senior NATO instructor / evaluator and advisor to the Armed Forces of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar. According to her account, in West Point a suitcase with women's clothing always accompanied her, “It helped me to know that I could escape to a hotel for a weekend, look in the mirror and not see that difference between what I saw and the person I knew. what was it".

The Obama Administration has made great strides in gay and lesbian rights, but it is clear that the issue of transsexual rights remains the great subject pending.

This same summer, Allyson was ordained as pastor of the Liberal Baptist Church of Washington. After training at the George W. Truett Theological Seminary as a man and under the name of Daniel Robinson, he decided to assume his true gender in his Church and await its approval, which has obviously generated great controversy in the ecclesiastical environment.

But what we want to emphasize is that the assumption of one's orientation and one's identity in any environment, be it family, military, professional or religious, is the key that opens all the paths to normality and integration. In this case, also of transgender people.
