Please consider joining us, even if it's just for a few minutes to see what the meetings are like. I've learned so much, had so much fun and gained confidence in myself just by being a part of this amazing group of people. It's a low key, no pressure, non-judgmental chance to just be among people who are supportive, understanding and affirming of each other. I'm travelling out of state and still planning on dropping in for awhile. Come see what it's like!!

Thank you, Susan!! It was such an amazing experience for me. I can't remember if I even talked about it on a Zoom meeting. Here is the link to the post I made about it. And, again, thank you for helping to give me the courage to do it.

Welcome home!!!

Good morning coffees This probably doesn’t exactly apply to me because you wouldn’t have found a more shy and conservative person than me. I was perhaps less shy before my sister started complaining about me doing things that were hers to do. And I would become embarrassed and that was the end of that. upstairs unit got their typical weekend visitors in the middle of the night last night. They woke me up. They have little consideration for being in a condo community and the neighbors being in such close proximity. @awkward-yet-sweet , how goes the job with your husband’s boss? I don’t recall you saying much about it this week, but I could have missed a post along the way. If I recall you were supposed to meet with him last Monday. @KymmieL I hope you are feeling better. Yes, I find it to be wrong that just because a car part says Ford or Chevrolet on the box that same part with Lincoln or Cadillac on the box cost a lot.more. I know there are differences in the upscale brands such as the engine and drivetrain in the Caddy and of course the interior fit and finish. But it’s the same body with things crammed in the same way under the hood. well, time to finish my coffee, fix my hair and made my way across the street to work. willow

I read about her this morning. What a shame! She was beautiful and it seems she had a strong support system in place and could have had a wonderful life all to have it end like this. Such a waste. I truly hope the monster that killed her gets everything he deserves.

They’re not going to stop anytime soon either. Tighten your belts folks were in for a long ride.

I am so glad you enjoy them as well. The help things “stay put” so well. It got me through some of my most dysphoric times. Wow, I hadn’t heard this at last week’s Zoom meeting if you had mentioned it. That is a huge milestone April Marie.I have no doubt that this confidence will only grow in time. The freedom of being yourself, especially in public, is a wonderful feeling. I am truly happy for you.😘 *Big Congratulatory Hug* Susan R🌷

@Abigail Genevieve, that is not an appropriate question, IMO. This isn't the Army/McCarthy hearings. Carolyn Marie

Don't think Americans would go for the "compulsory" part. We kind of like not being told what to do ... Amazingly, there is great pushback on voter ID laws. The opponents say it discourages voting, especially among the poor and minorities. That is really a smokescreen IMO for those who want to harvest ballots from as many places as possible, including folks who don't exist or don't hold citizenship...

Pretty soon I think I might be ready to talk about gender-affirming care for kids, possibly w/r/t the Cass Review and its shortcomings.

She was a beautiful young woman ... "What we do know is that the offender was a very violent individual and should not have been on our streets.” Whether gender related or not, the mental health and incarceration issues in our country are incredibly bad and need to be addressed.

April, I'm glad my entries are interesting to you. TransCentralPA is a great organization with so many caring people. I would strongly recommend you find a way to attend the Keystone Conference. I guarantee you'll find it an amazing experience. Hugs, Sally

Would LOVE to sit in on this one, April

Dear @Sally Stone. I think you should author a memoir based on these posts (maybe you're already working towards that?). You could decide at a later time if/when you might want to publish. I appreciate you sharing your deep connection with your friend Willa (and I am sorry for your loss) and the benefit of having a Trans friend and mentor in our Life and Journey. I was fortunate to have found one also in our TGP friend @Kasumi63. As you know we share many common Life themes in our stories. Drop me a PM if you'd like to chat about it. Looking forward to the next 'chapter'.

Voting is compulsory here, for better or worse. Would doing the same in the US snap people out of their apathy?

I am noting you use CRT terminology. The comment is not out of the blue. Some of your remarks on religion suggest atheism. So it is believable that you are a Marxist, knowingly or not. Are you?
