How do you partisapate in one? Can you just walk allong if you sign up, or is there a longer process? Probabibly not untill I am 18, but I would like to know anyway. I know a big one is in San Fransico, but where else is there one?

Hi Amber,

I'm sure it varies from place to place. I'm going to two this year - Spokane and Seattle. In Spokane, I'll be a spectator but will be happy to join in for a bit if the atmosphere is right. In Seattle, the local support group will have a contingent and I plan on joining them.

Do you have a local support group that you could contact? I'm sure they'd love to have you come along even if you don't participate in any other way.

Love, Kat

PS - Anyone from Seattle reading this - there's a rally for ENDA at Noon at the Westlake Center this weekend. Can't make it myself, but the more the better!

Amber,

I assume you are referring to a pride parade and festival, the local trans group i belong to in Cleveland enters the parade each year, Cleveland's pride parade and festival is 22 years old this year and was one of the first in the country, i am not sure if there is an age limit or if you would have to be accompanied by an adult if under 18. For ours you would have to sign up, but there is no charge, and it can be done online.

Your best bet would be to Google <your city> pride to see if they have one.

Most major cities have one, Cleveland, Columbus, Chicago, Detroit etc.

I'm not sure about your answer but I just wanted to say I could scream I'm so excited for pride this year. Unfortunately Nick doesn't want me to ride this year (even tho im already signed up) Were still arguing about this. lol. What the point of owning a brand new gxr if i can't show off in 'dykes on bikes'? grrr. I'm determined to win this argument. Why does he have to be so careful with me?!!!

If you belong to a queer gruop ask them if they are doing anything for pride and get involved. If all else fails its always fun to watch!

Well, Honey....

It's probably because he cares about you a lot...

I wasn't in a GLBT parade on mine, but I did T-Bone a Buick on my Harley when the knucklehead was coming toward me and turned left... Said that he didn't see me...Didn't help much...

Everything hurt like hell...

Careful, Hon......OK?

LOVE

YIKES! I bet that hurt! I've never put down and hopefully I'll keep it that way. I never ride in the rain and I'm (almost) always super careful. My whole point is I didn't sink 6 months salary in this bike for nothing. I see your point but dangggg I'm a big kid afterall. Nick is so protective. eh, I still love him! Thank you Donna!

Portland has a Pride festival, and I'm marching in it with my church. Every year, we rent a big school bus and take half the congregation downtown to march in the parade. It's great fun. :) If you have a chance to go to a pride festival, I highly recommend it.

      All these beautiful people in my biography, I feel so blessed!   No fallout from the Facebook avatar thing, yet. I instantly deleted it, but I really do like the avatar I created. I'll have to recreate it when I'm more out to friends and family.   I guess they weren't dancing, one was blowing a birthday horn and mine was "like, omg, so surprised!"

      This is what I'm seeing too. I hate it but it is the current reality.  I expect more trouble in the future since "they now have the perfect excuse to let go the brakes." Kinda funny how quickly things turned against us.  I don't think we can really count on the Democrats either.

      I'm sorry, I don't want to be overly pessimistic, but I think to an extent the truth is irrelevant here. There is an absolute torrent of transphobes-were-right-all-along stories emerging in the wake of the Cass Review, not to mention the WPATH Files. These are coming not only from the usual anti-trans suspects, but from reputable newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York Times. (David Brooks in the Times: "Hilary Cass is the kind of hero the world needs today.") And while I'm aware that both those outlets have been leaning anti-trans for a while, they now have the perfect excuse to let go the brakes.   Ultimately, all that's needed for governments to ban these treatments is enough public support, and I suspect that support may be rapidly growing. Since I work with trans kids, cis folks often bring up the topic with me when they have "concerns", and I have been amazed at the number of otherwise reasonable people who have latched on to classic anti-trans tropes like social contagion or the idea that trauma causes transness. Whereas in the past they were generally convinced quite easily by my obviously superior knowledge, I'm expecting the task of convincing them to get harder starting as of now.

      In those dimensions, not even Sophia Loren could hold a candle to me. A Goddess....in my own mind. lol

      So, just imagine how spectacularly beautiful you'd be in four-dimensions April.
    • Ivy
      That does sound hard to keep up with.  I use patches, changed twice a week.  But I have to have my phone set to remind me.  I just don't think about it.
    • April Marie
      Oh, I am drop-dead gorgeous in a totally different dimension @Sally Stone! :-)

      Ladies, each of your comments makes me realize my decision to share my journey was a good one.  Before committing, I worried that my storyline wouldn't be of interest to anyone. I'm so glad I'm striking a chord with many of you.

      I am sorry to hear that. It just means something better is in your future!

      How we look in photographs isn't really anything we can control.  I've actually searched for answers and there are lots of good explanations out there like this one:   https://www.foxbackdrop.com/blogs/news/beautiful-photogenic-reasons-tricks-foxbackdrop#:~:text=Based on the light-creation,angular faces are usually photogenic.   The simplest explanation is a picture captures our image two-dimensionally when in real-life, we are seen three-dimensionally.  A person can be beautiful or handsome in real life but the two-dimensional image can be way different.  So, for those of us that don't think we look good in a picture, fear not.  We are much better looking in three-dimensions.

      This is your journey and no one here will judge you or bully you. This is a very accepting, non-judgemental place and you can process at your own speed. Having said all welcome Violet, we are glad you found us. I know we all look forward to hearing from you.

      Good morning    I should not have said about sleeping in, now I have to go in 2 ½ hours earlier.  Oh well at least I. Off tomorrow and Monday, I think.as of now, hope I didn’t just jinx that too.     Hot today high 80s dropping quickly and rain to the 60s for a couple of days then more normal 70s.  It just depends on which way the wind blows. Off the gulf, hotter, off the ocean, cooler, out of the north rain and when they all converge, look out.  That’s today.   i made a pot of coffee but I think most of it is going to waste.  My wife went back to bed and I’m not good with coffee when I’m hot, and I am. That’s my fault, I was 4 days.late with my E again.  I just st have a really hard time keeping on a 10 day schedule.  And my reminders aren’t helping..   now I’m going to peak by tomorrow since it isn’t all absorbed in one day, I’ll hold fairly steady but if I’m late again I’ll drop well below my target yet again.     Im down in the valley, the valley so low But I see my true love, at the top of the hill i climb the mountain, but she is not there for she has gone back down, to the valley below   I didn’t come up with a refrain and with that I’m calling the guys with the padded cells. lol   Willow
