I agree. But sometimes unethical conduct must still be legal, because the cure would be worse than the disease. One problem we have today with the internet is the trolls can gang up on someone and destroy them - we see the with school bullying as well. He was in the Southern Baptist Convention, and maybe he should have moved his church over to say the American Baptists, who might have been able to help him. A Southern Baptist pastor is king in his church, peerless, which means he could not have gone for help in his church. And he could not have gone for help from any other pastor in the SBC because they likely affirm the SBC statements on these matters. I think he was stuck. I read this when it came out in the news. Very sad situation.

One organization that I know of that is dedicated to assisting LGBT seniors is SAGE. They advocate for, and have services for, all LGBT folks, not just trans folk. You can find their website Here. I am not sure what, if anything, they have in terms of financial assistance. I'll let you know if I find anything else. Carolyn Marie

This was an angle that I was very suspicious of as well, and may be the hook on which the settlement was hung. Not at all strange especially if they had former patients who moved there that still owed money on their bills or they were buying hospital supplies from a Texas corporation. They may have business licenses in other states as well. Small loss, but saxeT shot itself in the foot there since the license was a source of income to the state.

Nah it's fine, I'm past the point of really blaming them most of the time. I've gotten used to it, and they could be a whole lot worse. I'm glad you have a good place, though <3

I wonder about the professional knowledge level here. Men have milk ducts. She, as a nurse, should know this. This is interesting https://www.livescience.com/45732-can-men-lactate.html Yes, men can lactate and have lactated, trans or cis. The idea that Birdie does not have milk ducts or tissue is just plain wrong. Her statement indicates that she has not looked at the medical record, which she should be familiar with to treat the patient.

Trans women can lactate under the right conditions. But that's not even the case in your situation. It's so stupid how they simply refuse to accept your reality.

I used to include going ti worship but no longer awkward good fir you. enjoy. :) raine sorry. my family is pretty lousy at support too. my part time job helps alot. hope it gets better fir you n all

It takes a lot to make me that way. Then it depends on which side comes out. I could simply walk away or be very confrontational. I'm used to being made fun of and criticized. I don't take to kindly if someone talks about my kids or family though.

aren't folks odd ..just dress differently..like pick to be a boy for today instead of the girl you're screaming you are really..so that I can be more comfortable...needs I'm sorry I have family wedding this summer too..I've said for 2 years I'm not going n I've skipped holidays for that period..now I'm being told I'd best be there in boy mode...yeah right..laughs sorry. I'm planning on once again skipping the event. until you'll let me attend as myself, I guess you dint really miss me that much .so I find something else to do n just accept the number of folks who unconditionally love me is a lot smaller than claimed. oh well. good luck sweetie

I suppose both sides can claim a win they didn't get.

Mia, forgive me, I should have introduced myself. Hi, I’m Bette. I work with trans youth and I have many young trans friends; the other day I was at a party with 30-40 of them. If you’re envious of young trans folks I understand; when I left that party I broke down in tears thinking of all I’d missed out on as a young person. But I was also happy for them, and if anyone were to try and take away their happiness I would fight for them with all my strength. I don’t know you, but it seems to me you’re angry about more than just your inability to find help? I’m very sorry to hear that you are struggling, but I hope you are not blaming young trans folks for that. Imo there is a generation gap in the trans community and it needs healing, not exacerbating. We are far stronger when we are united.

Made new friend nothing more though

The Republican nominee for governor here in NC is a real piece of work.

It's still hard when you don't.

Excelent news

Did you ask her if there was anything particular you need to learn from the BIble? Any particular book you should read? Result she wants you to have? Did you ask her if she is reading her Bible, and what she is getting out of it lately? What is the Lord speaking to her? It shouldn't be a one way thing.

I would like to, but I don't obsess over it.

I apologize for my part in side tracking the discussion.

Comparison can be deadly. If the 23 year old beauty queen is the standard for women, all others are not real women. If Jocko Willink is the standard for men, all other men are not real men. I read an essay about the mermaid and transgender people. There is a statue of a mermaid in a Danish harbor. She looks wistfully back at the sea, where she cannot go because she is human above, but neither can she walk on the land, because of her lower half. Psychologists have noted a fascination with mermaids by trans kids. TG folk, using the mermaid analogy, can feel like we can neither mountain climb nor explore the depths because of our condition, but there is plenty we CAN do. As humans we can both climb mountains and explore the depths. Not all women give birth. Not all men become fathers. Not all men can pull cable wire all day long, walk iron safely, or heft 600 pounds in a dead lift. That does not mean they are not men.
