Hello Other Vets

Guest lydia

Hi my name is Lydia and I am a vet of RVN 65 and 66. Wow that sounds so long ago. Just thought I would stop by and see if any other vets around. Best to all, Lydia

I was initially very confused by the title of this forum. I presumed that transsexual veterans would be bragging, "I had my SRS in 1943", "Well I had mine in 1936". Maybe the word "military" belongs somewhere. (I never was in the military.)

veteran: A person with long experience of a particular activity.

I am dark haired, so will try my hand at translation for the benefit of the rest...

Please pardon me if I translate incorrectly....

"A risky assumption, ostensibly bereft of either extant or cursory substantiation.

The title of the thread seemed evinced, unless this is a function of linguistic differences"

Your first impression regarding veterans is kind of tenuous being, apparantly, without verification either by outside knowledge, or even a quick look. The title of this thread seemed to me to be descriptive enough, though I am willing to allow that this may just be an example of linquistic differences.

Huggles and Loves,

Kiera

OK I made the forum title better reflect what this forum is about. It is for military veterans who served or are serving their countries. This group is a lot larger than you'd think. Although many assume that LGBT persons didn't serve the fact is thousands did and many are serving now under the "don't ask don't tell" military policy.

I agree Laura. When I got drafted in '69. The physical was designed to eliminate the obvious not the emotional, the truth is I meet this 'Nam vet who would go home on weekends and party enfemm. I still wasn't at her stage, so I didn't join her. But that held her together,man. Jolene

Oh well I guess the main thing is we enjoy being the gals we are now.

      Woke up early to prepare Mexican food for lunch as I had a friend coming over, but he forgot today is mother's day and cancelled.    Looks like I'll be eating Mexican food for dinner tonight.

      My condolences to the people of WA.  A huge warning about that type of politician though, those who broadcast the Anti-Trans message rarely if ever attend to any important legislative issues to benefit their constituency.  They are mostly single trick dogs, whose trick is to empty their food bowl and whine for more food.

      This stuff seems to be the major talking point for "conservatives" these days.  Just shows that they don't know what they're talking about, and don't particularly care.

      You are both beautiful.  Have fun.

      Mother's Day, so I thought I'd do the right thing and cook. So, we got Chinese takeaway! 😆   Actually, we planned it days ago, just thinking that tonight we would treat ourselves. Complete with a lovely bottle of Cab Sav.
    • Mirrabooka
      Exactly.   A plain old "Good morning" should always suffice, for example, whether the recipient expects a gender specific greeting or not.

      Hi awkward yet sweet, yeah, I tried dumping her but my current health insurance keeps directing me back to her as my primary, yet there are other doctors to choose from, but they are far away.
    • Ladypcnj
      Hi Birdie, I can relate to that.

      This sort of stuff makes my blood boil. A prospective state politician has gained approval from his party's state council to run in their state election next year.   He once stated that the + part of LGBTQIA+ is where pedophiles are categorized.   For clarity, in Australia the Liberal party is our main conservative party. They have lurched further to the right over the past 10 years or so. Our main progressive, union backed party is Labor.   WA Liberal party approves Dr Thomas Brough, candidate who linked LGBTQIA+ community with paedophiles - ABC News

      Happy Mother’s Day    I have to be at church earlier than normal for a mic check.  I have been going over what I am to say, both silently reading and reading it aloud.  My concern is that my voice will freeze as it sometimes does.     I felt I was honored very highly yesterday by my minister and supporter on my journey.  He and another minister are Standing together to become the next co-moderators of the Presbyterian Church (USA).  They included me to receive an advance copy of their initial submission.  I was one of only 6 people listed on the email to receive this.  Later this week it will go out to all the voting commissioners that will be in Salt Lake City for the meeting.  I have asked to be allowed to attend the meeting to support him and Rev CeeCee Armstrong, whom he is standing with.    We’ll time to get ready .   Willow

      Nup. Not an option. You need to keep going and keep us all in the loop, and we need to keep seeing your beautiful smile!   Party, schmarty. I'm 61 and haven't had a birthday party since I was 30. Even that was just a crummy meal at the pub with a few friends who we have since lost contact with. Don't sweat it.

      On behalf of everyone reading your entries here @Sally Stone, THANK YOU for creating such an informative thread. But there is one thing you might have neglected to say at the end, and that is, "And they all lived happily ever after!" ❤️   Reno sounds like a pretty good place to call home. I understand the attraction of living in a place that is not too big but not too small.   I look forward to reading your subsequent posts about specific aspects of your journey.
