In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad. I have not yet read a definition of either in the document. I assume they are the same. I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that. I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that). Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term. There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

OK Governor Signs School Bathroom Bill Into Law

They are thinking of Loudon. The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined. Outlaw school administrators? <sarc> -

OK Governor Signs School Bathroom Bill Into Law

How ironic. I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,” - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick. Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can. Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk. They want us to change our gender but they deny we can. Confusion. -

@FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience. Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

Happy birthday, Sam! Lotsa love!

I still have not read much of this. Very little of this document pertains to trans folk. Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk. It certainly was not written just to get us. " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service." and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service," https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner. So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties. Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later. I don't think this point is well thought out. A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with. I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out. I have good conservative creds. They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered. I don't think he had anything to do with it.

I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

@LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.
-
I don't wear a bra to bed. The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate. Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
-
You're welcome. I'm here quite often if you need me.
-
Very nice!
-
Yeah, that is the point. And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity. Yeah. That would be scary. I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends. So far I've gotten away with the women's. I've been told I pass better than I realize. But it would only take one a55h0le. This is all so stupid. I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?
-
Oh yes. It was not fun cleaning it up but he is better.

Thank you!

sound nice ...I been using a sleep bra with soft forms from knitted knockers..send a donation if you use them..I just sent my preferred size etc..works ok..gives my chest break from silicone touching.. how far back should I look to see about the ones you're using from Susan? hugs

As I read this one, it is only for school bathrooms. I hope he has signed a bill to triple the number of "security monitors" on the campuses and up their pay considerably, not to mention some other costly stuff. Only way is for every school employee, to know the birth certificate information of each student by memory which will require 3 additional months of salary for them all. It appears the enforcement relies on parental reports obtained from their children which opens so much up. The kids will end up ALL with wet or soiled underwear while the parents go at each other with weapons over "family honor" over false calls based on childish name calling.

I agree. This law is impractical and impossible to evenly enforce without such ridiculous measures in place. What it will do is stigmatize the trans community in Oklahoma and nothing more but ofc, that’s the only point of it. If I was in that state and needed a restroom, there’s no chance I’d ever step foot in the men’s restroom because of some law. I know I’m not alone in that thinking. This law won’t stand the test of time.

I asked AI to create an image of myself 30 years younger based off my avatar on another site and this was the result: Wow! I am amazed how close it got my 30 year old face!

Quite true. The amusing thing about opposites is how similar they can be. My family left Greece because of the conflict between the communists and the militarists/fascists.

This wouldn't even be a problem if they would just leave us alone. It is a no-brainer.
-
OMG. I'm glad it wasn't worse, and you were able to get on it quickly. Lots of blood can be scary.
