Hi All. First, I want to apologize for all the drama of my past messages. I was going through a time where it looked like I would lose my job because of my transition. For those of you that believe in God....I prayed alot....and heard that still, small voice that the Bible speaks about...telling me I needed to talk to my supervisor, if I wanted to keep my job. And, that was the scariest thing I have ever done. My supervisor is a man in his mid 80's, and if you ever talked to him, you would think he was the biggest redneck ever. So, I came clean. Told him about my transition and that I wanted to keep my job and not be harrassed. He told me," You are a great worker, and I will do anything to keep you, If anyone bothers you, let me know and I will deal with it immediatly." And then he dropped the bombshell. He said, " Many years ago, I had someone like you working for me. Came to work as a man....talked to me....and then came to work as a woman afterwards. And she was one of the best employees I have ever had." WOW!

I really feel I was going through a time where God was trying my faith., and by listening to Him...and doing what He asked.....it has changed everything. For the first time, in 7 years, I can go to work without fear of discrimination. This whole experience has shown me that...God loves me ....just as I am. And even though life happens.....I don't live in fear anymore. This has changed my whole way of looking at the world and the things that happen. Both good and bad. And I am so very grateful.....that even though I had given up .....that God never gave up.

Hey Justme,

I so glad you stayed with us. I hope you seen everyones out pouring of love to you my friend.

As I said to you before, I respect you for taking care of your animals, before your own needs.

I was praying for your wellbeing, I'm so happy for you, that things are going your way now. Sometimes our futures seem so bleak, if we just give it a little time, things can really change.

Is not Laura's a wonderful support mechanism.

Hope to talk to you latter

Love , Chandra

Congratulations on keeping your job.

Now for the real congratulations on renewing your faith - God never gives up on anyone, we may choose to ignore it but the love is always there.

We want something that seems beyond reach and it isn't handed to us immediately so we question God's love - we are meant to work to attain our goals miracles are all around but they are not turning water into wine without a long process - always believe and work toward your goals - God loves you.

There was a film about deaf people called "Children of a Lesser God" - the point was they are not - their God is the same as everyone else's - ours is too!

God is love - share God with all you know - not by preaching or by telling them what to do, just through your love and your actions - they speak so much louder than words.

You are making it and it is a wonderful thing to see.

Love ya,

Sally

Justme,

What an act of courage and faith--the faith to find the answer and the courage to actually do what you had to do. I can only imagine what must have gone through your mind on the way to his office.

Thank you so much for sharing that. A lot of us need to read things like this and share great joys. You made my day and I just got up. :D

God Bless You.

Becky

      Courageous film maker, and amazing subjects.  That is an incredible journey to make in so many ways.  Thanks for sharing the link, @Davie.   Carolyn Marie

      Good afternoon everyone,   I often wondered why @April Marie and @Willowgot up so early in spite of being retired. Now that I have my own puppy as a house pet I get it. We haven't had dogs since before my oldest granddaughter was born 22 years ago this September. I've always had working hunting dogs, and it was important they became acclimated to the current weather conditions. While the kennels had large outdoor runways, they also had pet passes into the somewhat temperature controlled garage. Yes, they were allowed in the house but only for short periods of time. Fast forward to present time, and I'm potty training a puppy as well as crate training. The first night Parker Von Schwinegruber, slept from 10:30 until 05:30. Last night we went to bed and 10:30 and he started making noise at 05:00. Since I don't want to test his ability to hold his business, we got up and went outside. He took care of business and we went back to sleep. This time he had a dental chew bar and I filled his water bowl. We cat napped until 08:00 and then got up for the day taking him immediately outside. He took care of business, and we played fetch and tug of war with his now favorite puffball. We came in and I put him back in the crate positioned so he could see me cook breakfast. Did he NO HE WENT TO SLEEP! We ate breakfast, did the dishes, and finished off the pot of coffee I brewed at 08:00. Once he woke up we stared at one another for about 20 minutes, because he seemed content to be in the crate. I got up and we worked on some obedience training as well as getting into and out of the crate with permission. We don't want him to crash the gate or any doors we will be going through.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I have not heard about it here in California, but then again we have events of various sorts going on very often, and not just in the June Pride Month.  We have Trans Fashion Week going on at a hotel complex over in West Los Angeles for the next three nights featuring shows by Trans fashion designers and modeled by Trans and NB people on the runways there.  I missed a chance for some free tickets and while I know and love many of the participants I do not want to pay for the tickets which will be in the $50 to $75 range, and which at those prices are nearly sold out.  (Not to mention $25 valet parking each night at the venue complex.).  There will be actual high end fashion buyers there though and it is an area where we are gaining some good footing.  I also admit that NONE of the fashions are going to be anything at all that would fit my basic personal style but look fine if not crazy on my much younger Trans siblings who will model them. (Ok everyone else keep on @Mirrabooka's topic.)

      Welcome to TransPulseForums @gizgizgizzie    I hope you find this place as helpful as I do. I’m also in a slow transition living in the androgynous world. I’m out to my grown children and my extended family with mixed support from them. Some have cut me out of their lives and others want me to be their flamboyant family member.    Best wishes, stay positive and motivated    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      To escape Gaza is already an achievement. And then to be trans?’: the women defying national and gender boundaries. https://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/may/16/yolande-zauberman-documentary-the-belle-from-gaza-cannes-film-festival

      Accidents happen.  So do heat-of-the-moment murders, without premeditation or trans-related hate.  It will take a trial to really figure it out.     One thing we can see from this is that it is people in our circles of acquaintances, friends, and partners who are the ones who usually hurt us.  Not someone random. We have to be careful who we trust.

      Friday May 17th is IDAHOBIT (International Day Against HOmophobia, BIphobia and Transphobia).   Do you acknowledge or celebrate it? Do you do anything special for it, like taking part in any organized events or activities?   I'm not an activist and I prefer to fly under the radar, but I am slowly becoming aware of important dates. I have been aware of the date of IDAHOBIT for a few weeks now, but other important 'rainbow' dates have not been etched into my brain yet.    I will wear my favorite pride t-shirt as a token acknowledgement of the day, but it probably won't be seen; cool weather here will mean that it will be hidden under a sweater.

      Happiness for me comes from being cognizant of the things that make me feel good.   Sunshine.   Pandering to my inner woman.   Knowing that some people in my life really 'know' me.   Vacations, and Eggs Benedict at an alfresco cafe.   My wife and I being telepathic.   Grandchildren.   Music.   Wine!

      True.  Every trans death is not a hate crime. There is so much hate expressed by some people, that we kinda get to expect it.
    • KymmieL
      happiness to me is being ME. At all times, and it has yet to happen.

      Hello & welcome, giz! Your post makes me remember how excited I was to join here too. I also had queer friends at the time I joined, but any of my trans friends lived a long distance away. So most local queer friends are gay & I felt uncomfortable coming out to them bc I couldn't assume they'd understand genderqueerness. So it was a thrill to join here and immediately have access to do many wonderful, genuine, kind & thoughtful friends-to-be.   Are you saying you're concerned that if you come out to your queer friends that somehow your parents will find out?     My love, I just want to affirm that that's not a weird dysphoria. It's just dysphoria. And we definitely get it. You're in good company here!     Look forward to seeing you around here & getting to know you. I shoot for androgynous appearance as well, leaning towards masculine.   Hope you're having a splendid day!
