In the early 2000s, Avery Belyeu was living as a gay man in New York City, starting a career in the nonprofit sector and seeking opportunities to help those struggling to find their identities. About 10 years ago, Belyeu became a woman.
Now CEO of the Montrose Center, Belyeu remains steadfast in her advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community. She knows the struggles of feeling like she doesn't belong. Raised in a family of Jehovah's Witnesses in Florida, she hasn't seen her parents in 17 years and has found that her religious beliefs align with Judaism.
Belyeu and the Center's staff and clients are grappling with fallout from the recently passed Texas House Bill 229, which defines men and women based on the reproductive organs they are born with and requires state records to reflect it.
That means a person born with male organs who now identifies as female and has updated gender markers on their ID cards will face inconsistencies with their documentation, potentially leading to harassment as they navigate traffic stops and airport security, and try to access services. Additionally, transgender people may be barred from using certain bathrooms, shelters or locker rooms.
Belyeu's transition included medical interventions and most of her legal identification reflects her sex as female...
"When you pass laws saying that some people can't have accurate documentation and that their sex assigned at birth has to be displayed in their medical records, the message being sent is that trans people do not belong, that there is not a space or a place for trans people to exist."
HB 229's author, Ellen Troxclair, R-Austin, says it “lays out the biological truth for anyone who is confused.”

“About 10 years ago, Belyeu became a woman.”
No, he did not.

Hmm...who assigns sex?
Tranny bracing is dramatically clutching your frilly scarf with a scrunched shocked face.
Science.
And 9.5 years ago he became a giraffe.
9 years ago he became a (beached) blue whale.
8 years ago he became an endangered species so that even law enforcement can’t invade his environment. (Read: crappy pigsty of a New York apartment.)
Why not…… if your DNA doesn’t define you in any way?
feeling like she doesn’t belong.
Thats because he doesn’t. I don’t care if he wants to pretend to be Josephine Bonapart on even days and Napoleon on odd days.
So the first step is not making everyone play in your fantasy. Nor do you get to demand legal protections for your mental illness.
About 10 years ago, Belyeu became a woman.
Belyeu surgically removed his penis and testes, created a fake vagina, and added some bolt-on boobs.
He did not “become” a woman. He’s a man playing dress up.
I know , right? They talk about sex assigned at birth , as if it’s some sort of arbitrary process that is used.
And it can also create the impression, that someone will have a different sex in the future.
All that business is simply rebellion against the Creator, in a destructive effort to be a God
