Hey girl I had a problem like you happen to me also. In my first year of estrogen I had a period where my level were good then they got really bad where my testosterone spike high. I felt like you with all that disforia coming hard. Our bodies need time to adjust. The process is a real pain in the beginning. It levels out eventually and you don't even think about it. Hang in there hugs

Biden's woke agenda?

I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.

Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

I don't think it should be. Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.

The agencies are supposed to work for him. The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing. The agencies are supposed to be under his control. Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem. The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed. Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power.

It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same. In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”. So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”. Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.

Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."

Rants are not a problem. My favorite hobby! :) What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it. Be alert. Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified. And this may not be the only document. Abby

Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all. Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable. I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk. So that "F" is lie, and a fraud. My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good. I'm just frustrated these days. Just a bit of a rant.

You probably remember the Target PR fiasco. I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there. She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

Been a good day.Cleaned my closet of clothes that I do not wear anymore and do not fit me.It looks better now.Came down to my newest property beside mine,owner passed and I inherited it.There was a double wide there that was removed,it was in bad shape.It is the shop part I am keeping which I got the tools,shop equipment,benches,hoists and shelving too.

Nothing about eradicating TG folk.

If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me). That seems suicidal.

True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us. It's the parts that do that are the problem. I see the few problematic statements as being a big problem. Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated". I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good". If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.

Yeah. There are already laws against assault. I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women. Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks. And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."

Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender. Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with. In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines. Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally. I can't see some of them standing up in court. In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court. Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line. Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people. People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements. Overall, I support it. Of course, I have some reservations.

It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening. For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation. They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id. It is unimaginable. Therefore, wrong. So there is this strong headwind. I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting. I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it. That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings. The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator... I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

Not sure. The perp is a minor. The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration. See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law. Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail. Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls. He, overwhelming her with height and weight, assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there. Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom. Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy. TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist. It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two: When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them. I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown Saying these things daily keep me motivated. Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
