Tension is not a well-understood psychological state. It can be both positive and negative, much like stress itself. A 2015 research paper on the theoretical framework of tension notes it's an anticipatory emotional state which tends to be associated with: conflict. -

I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand. Would definitely be an interesting time. -

In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad. I have not yet read a definition of either in the document. I assume they are the same. I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that. I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that). Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term. There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to. -

Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was. -

They are thinking of Loudon. The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined. Outlaw school administrators? <sarc> -

How ironic. I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,” - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick. Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can. Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk. They want us to change our gender but they deny we can. Confusion. -

@FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience. Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.
