So true Liam, we are expected to conform to set labels.

Reflections #liamklenk #lifejourney #paralian #authorsofinstagram #expatlife #coloane #macau #amwriting

Over the years, what has become most important for me is to open my mind wide and see beyond the labels. If I am any sort of activist, then this is it: I fight for a world of compassion and mutual respect. A world in which labels become obsolete. The more I experience life all over the globe, the more I realize that, rather than focusing on what makes us all different, it is so much better to focus on what connects us. The best I can do for myself and for everyone else out there is to be authentic, ignore the labels, and rather write about life in all its rawness. I want to observe the world around me with empathy. I want to understand those around me, no matter what their background, and write about the beauty and painfulness of our shared existence.  The longer I think about it, I even wonder, "What does transgender mean?" I was born as who I am. The gender assignation of the body I was born with did not match with my soul. But my soul was always human. I was just another splotch of color in our diverse universe. No matter what my physical shell looked like at any point in time, inside of it I was always beautiful, flawed, unique, struggling Liam. Society will classify me as a trans male. I classify myself as male. But in the end, does it even matter?  I am Liam. And I believe that is enough. #liamklenk #lifejourney #notjusttrans #LGBTQI #adversity #transgender #inspiration #nolabels #diversity #love #mutualrespect #inclusion #weareallhuman #amwriting #authorsofinstagram  Photo by Susanne Stauss

Hello 😊 Shout-out to all of you, who have read my book 'Paralian'. If you haven't done so already, can you be so kind and write a little review for it? Even if it's just one word? Like a thought shared with buddies around a camp fire, books live on and grow through word-of-mouth. If you search for either 'Liam Klenk' or 'Paralian' on any Amazon page, you'll find my book immediately. Scrolling down, you'll find a link where you can add a review. And/or you can write a review for it here on Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26829758-paralian---not-just-transgender?fbclid=IwAR0PT03mvtZDGNOy6Fh7uzDQ6GFC7i5Q-mfcczG8c6kFYjIzOmM5UqYz0qw The more the merrier. Cheers! Much appreciated! #liamklenk #lifejourney #paralian #notjusttrans #LGBTQI #nolabels #mutualrespect #diversity #inclusion #amwriting #authorsofinstagram
