Take pride in your ability to flourish in the greatest country known to history.
Take pride in having the ability to support yourself without relying on a handout from the government.
Take pride in that the people who depend on you are well taken care of because of your sense of responsibility.
Take pride in your many life long and continuing accomplishments.
These are thing worthy of pride as opposed to your 'ever evolving gender' or sexual orientation.
Amen, FRiend !
