WOW....

Macho countries like Iran and Cuba paying for SRS and civilized, forward thinking democracies like the USA are still in the stone age as far as covering SRS is concerned.

Taking care of our people (of any sort) is actually a very low priority....

War seems to take precendence...

To dang bad.....

Well that strikes a blow against the US getting any sort of Universal Health Care - we don't want it and if they are accepting transsexuals so we must banish us altogether - Soon we will have our own island.

Anybody know how to make a radio out of coconuts?

Seriously it is a giant step forward for Cuba, we should be so progressive in this area.

Love ya,

Just shows that if Cuba can afford universal health care then so can we. Just rich republicans afraid of taxes and the people who eat up their every word who are against it

Can you get a free sex change in Canada?

Well, it's not technically free [blahblablah taxes]- but I believe SRS is (or was) covered by healthcare in Canada like in the UK.

I would take care if you use Iran as an example to show that USA are still in the stone age. What I heard about the SRS in Iran is not nice. If you are gay you have two options:

1. To hang on a gibbet.

2. Change your sex.

So their are gay men in Iran who loves men but don't want to be women. They are forced to make SRS because the other option is death. They don't have the freedom to choose what they want.

I know that's the case, in Iran, Nelly...I was just making a point, though....

In Iran, If one is gay, they can have the change or leave the country...(or hang, as you said) ...

Thanks ...

Sounds nice, Sally. I'll take living on a desert island over living in this stinking desert. I'll be the lady reading on the beach in my sarong drinking a mai tai.

I have located my old high school friend on Facebook and outed to him about three months ago - he seemed okay with it, but never did ask too many questions. He and I exchange stuff by email, jokes mainly.

Today he sent me this same news release on Cuba. I wrote and thanked him. He does lurk on Facebook because sometimes he will email me something related to something I said only at that site.

I think following my progress is a hobby! GRIN. My own old best friend is a stalker!

Cuba makes do with what resources they have and uses it wisely. Transgender men and women are very involved in their communities.

San Francisco began paying for sex changes for city and county employees in 2001

This whole article is awesome but that caught my eye too. I'd been looking for that piece of information for ages!

      Maybe surface tension?   I was in a political debate yesterday and it got way too focused on social stuff and I just had to steer the conversation back to how natural gas transitions to a liquid under pressure.  One of the people I was debating had a career working in that field and it was a good opportunity to expose stuff like that.  He mentioned that it isn't just pressure, it is temperature too.  So then I mentioned how the lines are running underground and asked how that played a role in it.  He came back saying that natural gas is a liquid under pressure.  I guess I didn't get a straight answer on that, but it did move my thinking one step down the road.  Perhaps I should have been more direct with him and asked him at what temperature and pressure.  Is there a chart?   I feel people would be better off if they paid more attention to the objects in their environment instead of focusing on some of the things that we hear so much of in the news.  People are pretty clueless as to how much trigonometry plays a role in so many things in our society.  Even land surveyors don't really use it anymore because programmers locked it away in a function.  Much like how cascading style sheets (CSS) is a wrapper for math.  I wonder what former president Trump thinks about all of that?  He must have some knowledge of how his buildings are constructed, right?  There certainly is a part of me that thinks he is just putting on a show about all of this.  Perhaps I'm wrong though.  All kinds of people in the world.

      Hello Jennifer and welcome back.  I find New England to be a great place to live.  I have a number of acquaintances and friends in Maine and I love the state.  It seems you are doing well.     Hugs,  Jani

      Oh, my "maybe this person is an egg" story is the (male presenting) piercing person and I discussed body hair removal methods, he says he doesn't want any hair except on his head, which is what I said during a couple hair removal sessions before and just after the egg cracked.

      I, too, am lucky.  Here in the UK I have a great therapist, a fully supportive GP, and a psychiatrist and endo who look after me and my needs.  I found the therapist on Psychology Today.

      Over the last few years of being on this site and going through medical transition, I've come to own the M->F identification.  Funny, I made a typo of M->T.  It is a curiosity if I'll ever put Gender: Female on this site.  It is my intention to be there someday.   Right now, because of career stuff and a high stress event with an electric hair clipper last fall, I'm feeling much more masculine than I would like.  I think that once I make some decent headway with my third career, I'll settle into a more feminine feeling.   I never really considered gender very much.  I certainly always used a feminine appearance as my presentation goal. I think that when I was young, I briefly had the idea of transitioning, but I convinced myself quickly that medical transition would be a bad outcome, so I put all those feelings and ideas in the closet for decades.  I'm still very apprehensive about medical transition.  I've always taken health to be a high priority for me.  I wrote a book last December about my fears of it all and my conclusion ultimately is that sometimes there is more to life than being a pillar of health.  It's important to take some chances if that is where your heart takes you.

      Good morning and congratulations @MirandaBon getting your ears pierced. This opens up a new line of jewelry to buy and collect.    @KymmieLits ashamed that any employee would ever to post a sign like this.    Well Parker Von Schwinegruber not only got me up early, we enjoyed our first cup of coffee on the patio before the sun was up. Oh it was daylight but just barely. The second cup of coffee was in the recliner, and now I’m pinned here and need someone to pour my third cup.    It’s a dog’s life… Eat, play, go potty and sleep. Repeat to infinity ♾️    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Thanks so much @Vidanjali,@Ivy, and @DonkeySocks She's stable now and going home Monday after tests and some observation time. So that's a positive relief.

      Trump-linked dark-money group spent $90m on racist and transphobic ads in 2022, records show. Citizens for Sanity was one of top political spenders last election cycle and is back for 2024 with more extreme messaging, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/17/trump-citizens-sanity-election-ads

      I adore the Bee Gees. There's no way that I could link all their great songs in the above post. To me though, this song of theirs is head and shoulders above everything else:
