Gender dysphoria is a condition. It apparently affects the general population throughout, so race, creed, ethnicticity, education, intelligence is not important in determining who is gender dysphoric. At laura's it seems that is somewhat the case, although because it is an internet site, we get people who tend to be at least a bit computer literate.

So it would statistically be possible to have a seriel killer. Also an adviser to the President of the United States, a olympic gold metalist, an ex-tatooed fat lady form the circus?

ANYONE!

Why the press thinks that being trans makes you crazy is a prejudicial and somewhat a form of harrassment.

Its like saying destroy all dogs because they can attack children and maul them to death!

Preaching to the choir I know (I wonder if choir memebers have a better chance in going to heaven? nevermind)

I am sorry this very disturbed person was also transsexual - but the sin is really in the reporting.

My opinion

I'm kind of with out words. Yeah, because being uncomfortable in your own skin -automatically- makes you crazy. Ugh. *face palm*.

All my trans friends and anyone that's on the gender fence that I know are probably the most accepting and liberal people I know!

First off, Lizzy is correct....

Idiots, killers, savants, etc all come in every color of the rainbow and in every gender...

Now, I live here in Ohio and I've been following this case...

He is due to die tomorrow...Lethal injection...

He has recently petitioned the courts to stop the execution because he is allergic to one of the drugs in the injection....

It can be a terrible world....

This has been a good discussion on the issues. I placed this topic on the board, because I wanted the other members, not from Ohio, to read about it. Granted, He definately has various mental problems and I'm not speaking of GID. I'm speaking of the mental transition to Hitler and the Jews taking over his mind thing.

The man has severe mental problems. Should he be executed to atone for the 3 lives that he took? Or should he have received life without parole?

The issue that still bugs me is his defense attorney's pur hatred and disgust towards him. Instead of a defense's smmation to the jury in the penalty phase, he gave a prosecutors summation and basically told the jury to find Spisak guilty and give give him the death penalty. Now, that is scary for any and all TS people.

Mike,

I'm against the death penalty on general principal. It is a poor deterrent and ends up draining time and money from people who should be involved in better things. So no, I don't think Spisak deserves to be put to death. What I think when I read Spisak's story is that this is a person who has mental problems and who also has GID. There should never be a line drawn between the two because you end up with a syllogism...bad circular logic that says if Spisak has GID, GID is responsible for the insanity ergo all people with GID are equally insane. As we know, this is rubbish. But this is the kind of bad logic that stories like these promote.

What I would like to see is this person not referred to as a TG or TS serial killer, but just a serial killer. I don't care if Spisak is a transsexual in the same way that I don't care that Spisak is white.

This kind of thing makes me really upset.

I live in Cleveland and remember his crimes, they were on the news quite a bit, i never saw him as anything but a person with a mental problem, even though he was trans.

Opps! I made a mistake. Our newspaper gave Spisak's name as to the man that was going to be executed. Well, they gave the wrong name, it was a Bueke dude known as the "Hitchiker".

But, nevertheless, Spisak's execution is still on tap, as I recall; just don't recall the exact date. Agagin, I apologize for the screw-up.

      Emotional stability is a personality trait that describes how calm, collected, and emotionally consistent someone is. It's the opposite of neuroticism, which is a personality trait that describes how much negative affect, emotional volatility, and mood fluctuation a person displays.

      I'm lucky. I have both. For therapists, the Psychology Today is a good source, as is the resource section here at TP.  BOTH are soi vital.

      Hello @The Lake, Welcome to our forum. I’m intrigued by your introduction and would enjoy reading more about your backstory. We all have very unique journeys and yours is not one I have come across often. As you become more comfortable with our community, maybe you could share more aout how your gender identity evolved, what difficulties you confronted and endured and what some of your successes were along the way. Also, do you see yourself involved in a future transition of roles, presentation, social, physical, or something else entirely? There is never any pressure to share a thing here. So feel free to share as little or as much as you like. We are a very open-minded nonjudgmental group who enjoy learning new things from our members.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Welcome @gizgizgizzie, It’s nice to have you in the fold. We are a very diverse group so you’ll fit in just fine. Right now, society at large is getting bombarded with misinformation, bait and switch tactics, propaganda and lies so it’s no wonder no one can get it right. I don’t come out and explain things about my gender identity as much these days but when I do it’s amazing how little these people know about our transgender community in 2024.   Thanks for sharing a little about yourself. I hope to learn more about you as you become more acclimated and active within our forum.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Speaking of hair days…for me, hair has always been the part of my presentation that had the most impact on my overall view of myself. It was much worse for me earlier in my transition. I enjoy experimenting with new hair styles so once in a while, I’ll end up completely redoing my hair because it somehow reminded me of my old self. Self image is a strange yet powerful thing and it take a lot of time and effort to change it.

      I am working on a solo music project and I decided a few years ago I wanted to do female lead vocals. I’ve played instrumental music most of my life and sung as a male, mostly backup and harmony though, but very little lead. I never liked my male voice. People always clocked me as female on the phone so I’ve always had a more feminine voice. A little over two years ago I started training my female voice to sing and it has been a lot of fun, though I’m still not where I want to be. Consistency is my biggest challenge.    I try to make practice fun or I don’t stick with it. So I do a lot of singing along with my favorite cover songs…I use a vocal fader, and practice with a microphone, and often just record the blend with my phone to evaluate where I’m at and see what I need to work on. If possible I find karaoke mixes on YouTube where the lead vocal is removed and sing along to that.   I’m not sure I can offer much advice, I just do a lot of listening back and adjusting my technique and practicing until I like how I sound. Just a lot of practice. It will probably take longer than you hope to get where you want to be :) High notes will be challenging but every singer has to build up the muscles and technique and breath support and stretch the vocal chords and then their range will expand. My higher notes are in tune, but often sound strained, probably because they are. Some of that is tensing up in anticipation which I need to train myself out of doing.    I think “trans voice lessons” on YouTube is one of the best channels for tips and theory. Once you’ve found your singing voice and have that relatively consistent, pretty much it’s just working on technique, styling, articulation, range, like any singer would.
