Hello!

A bit about myself: I'm 22, finishing up my last year of college, with one semester left before I move on to what is a rather subjective definition of the "real world". I'm studying Studio Art and Computer Science; I'm doing a double major. I can't really rightly tell you if I'm an artist or if I'm a programmer. I think I'd prefer to be an artist who gets paid like a programmer.

My hobbies include crocheting, running, video games, watching movies, and pulling capers... but really, what I love doing most is what I mentioned above. I love making stuff.

As for music, my favorite artists / groups are Regina Spektor, Bright Eyes, Muse, System of a Down, and Frank Sinatra... eh, I like a lot of stuff.

What else about me...

...

Oh, right! It seems I was born male, but all my life I've had a sneaking suspicion that there was a mix up somewhere with this whole gender thing. One thing's for sure; something has to change, but I'm stumbling over it, and am in need of some guidance.

And, well, I think I'll turn this over to you now :)

Well, since it's so cold this morning, I'll get you some nice hot coco and a plate of Sally's famous cookies...Double Chocolate Chip...YUM!

You can sit over here by the fire and just get comfy...OK?

Now, please take a minute to read the forum rules , if you haven't already...there is a link at the top of most pages...and we're a moderated site to keep everyone nice and safe!

I think you'll find a lot here that will be of help on your journey...so many loving, caring people and so much to read and learn!

So, make yourself at home and some of the others will be by shortly!

Welcome to Laura's Aeva. You came to the right place to get the answers you are looking for. Just keep on posting your questions and we will help the best we can.

I would say a programmer would be the way to go since you like to (make stuff) in your own words. This sounds like it would make you happy so I say go for it.

Love,

Sarah F

Hi Aeva,

I'd also like to welcome you to Laura's Playground where there are lots of friendly and supportive people as well as good information available.

Hmm, studio art and programming. Sounds like graphic design would be a possible choice. A lot of web sites out there that really look bad and could use a good artistic slant!

And I completely understand about the gender mix-up thoughts. Been having a lot of those my whole life!

Anyway, we're glad you're here.

Hugs

Chloë

Hi Aeva,

It is so nice to meet you, I see that Donna Jean has gotten you some hot cocoa and I hope you like the cookies - everyone else seems to.

I also see that she has generously given you my chair, but don't get up I'm just passing through this morning - busy day at my house Christmas in retail is now over and it is time to clean up my disaster area I mean house - Don't worry about me getting mad at Donna Jean for giving you my chair - she goes to bed early and I loan hers to all of the night time additions to the family.

So a creative person that wants to make money - I'm a professional photographer and a musician which explains selling appliances on the side. ;)

Good luck with your career, I hope that you do well we have a lot of creative people here in our family at Laura's so you should feel right at home.

Welcome to the family.

Love ya,

Sally

Hi Aeva,

<<hug>>

Welcome to Laura's Playground.

Please feel free to come over and chat sometime.

The Chat room does require another registration that is separate from from your forums one.

Please read the chat room rules before coming in, and expect a short interview with one of the chat room moderators.

One of the things that they will ask you is if you read the rules. :)

It is OK to be confused , and uncertain about your gender there are so many others here that are too.

I try to not think of gender as I am a man or I am a woman, but I think it a spectrum, and we are all somewhere different on that spectrum.

Just try and be happy being yourself.

You are one of a kind, unique and beautiful.

We all look forward to seeing you.

:wub: vanna

      @April Marie Yes, it's something to shop for at least for 6-8 weeks. 
    • VickySGV
      Definitely points to learn and keep in mind.  A bunch of stuff I had put in mental "cold storage" thawed out a bit there and ready again to run through my mill.  As said, a bit long and as usual from her a tad bit challenging.  Overall I see it and can use it as a working hypothesis.

      Yes,I hate that     Also finding out I might be father of a 24 year young lady.I had an one night stand with a woman off base when I was in the army.Called this afternoon and said I am possibly the father of her now 24 year old daughter.Told her I will agree with a paternity test that will be done.

      Yeah.  I like Nebula, that was where I watched it.   I posted the YouTube cause I figured more people could see it.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      We agree on most of this... and the church/state thing is kind of a tangent anyways. Oops. LOL   I think it has long been established that all different kinds of groups have access to public funds. In my opinion, either everybody has access or nobody does. I would prefer "nobody."   Relying on public funds gives the government the power to take it away, and puts that power in the hands of whatever group controls the government at the moment... the news article that is the topic of this thread shows a clear example of that happening.  Organizations trust government at their peril.
    • DonkeySocks
      Fantastic news! Thank you for updating us.
    • Davie
      More info on Abigail Thorne here: https://go.nebula.tv/philosophytube and, Dracula's ex-girlfriend, on Philosophy tube.   "The reason why Nebula is so cheap for what it is, is because there's no upper hierarchical group looking yo skim off the top. Imagine how much cheaper EVERYTHING could be if it was like that for every other service or product; if the money went straight to workers, not up a chain of command until it reached someone who did exactly "jack" to produce what's being sold.

      I'm aware that the young US ended up fighting a war with these people, and that phrase was not meant to address Church & state.  But somebody was willing to include it at the time.   I am also aware that your family arrangements would not go over well with most christian nationalists.  But that is kinda where I'm coming from on this.  I believe you and others of us with an unconventional lifestyle should be free to live as we desire - as long as we are not hurting anyone else.  And by "hurting" I don't mean only their feelings.   Using christianity to justify oppression is just wrong.  As is forced conversion, or forced conversion therapy.   Regarding public funds, LGBTQetc people have as much right to them as straight-cis folks.  I'm not arguing that queer people have more rights, just equal rights.

      Even better news:  It turns out for my sister it was cardio not stroke. She’s put on new blood thinner and sent home. False alarm! Yay.

      Things have changed since I've been on HRT for about 15 years. The consequence is I am not so concerned about how I present all the time.  I wear t-shirts a lot. I am pragmatic in how I shop. No, I don't want to look male, but will buy some male clothing because it fits. I am tall and built like a football linebacker, so buying women's clothes that fit can be difficult. For one I have no problem buying men's sneakers if they can pass as unisex. I wear size 12-13 women's shoes. And that can be hard to find. And, I don't like wearing slacks without pockets. I use pockets for work.    I've learned to be pragmatic. I dress up when I want to go out in public, and not so much at work. I do have a favorite blouse that accentuates the girls. And one blue striped blouse where I wear a cami top.

      https://www.patheos.com/blogs/danthropology/2016/05/secularists-please-stop-quoting-the-treaty-of-tripoli/   ^^^ an interesting piece about the treaty, written by an atheist.   I totally understand why the Christian nationalist stuff makes people uncomfortable. For me, it is uncomfortable in a different way, as modern Christian nationalism is not nearly as "generic" as the views of the Founders.  Its specifically Evangelical.  I'm in a plural marriage, so definitely not approved of.    I believe the intent of the Founders was to uhold generic Christian ideas... "in God we trust" and "there's a God who created the world and He wrote ten commandments for us" sort of stuff.  Nothing beyond that, nothing specific enough to use against folks.

      Free?!?!  That's insane.  I can understand perhaps mistaking somebody's well equipped garage as a business, but demanding free work is ridiculous.   My GF once remarked that while few things in life are free, butt-kickings are an exception. She offers those free-of-charge, to any who ask. A little charity helps the world go round 🤣
