Guest Medicine Woman

Hi fellow gender varieties of wonderful people. I am glad to be here. Hope to establish some mutually beneficial friendships. I'm kinda lonely out here in the desert...wandering around behind the little animals..

I call myself Medicine Woman because I identify with the truly great, nearly forgotten tradition of the Native American third and fourth genders.

I'm ancient by pop standards, a feisty fifty nine years old with more spunk than some people are comfortable with...but if I cared I would not be Medicine Woman. I went to Thailand back in December of 2001, and now I am proud to say I am a Preecha Girl [love that man].

Born in 1951 you might say I've been around the block...in a 1965 Chevy Impala, in a concrete mixer, on a variety of Harleys...but mostly on my hands and knees trying not to get assaulted in my search for identity.

I love to write and have been published here and there, and in a book called "Finding the Real Me" edited by Katrina Fox

And sometimes I forget that this is just an intro and that I shouldn't go on and on and on and on.

Wait til I'm warmed up...my typing hands...I mean. LOL :rolleyes:

Glad to B here

Hello Medicine Woman,

Welcome to Laura's Playground. That's a very noble tradition you're carrying on there. Actually, you're not ancient with quite a few of us. There are quite a few of us older gals and guys here. You're going to fit in just fine. Just take a look of the forum rules and regulations and start posting. We'd like to hear more from you. Thanks for sharing with us. :)

Welcome to the forums, Medicine Woman.

Why don't you come on in and have a seat, I'll get you some fresh baked cookies and a cup of hot cocoa.

Well, I am early in my transition about 10 months on HRT but we share the same birth year - my birthday just hasn't gotten here yet.

I also write poetry and am trying to get a book published.

We just might have a few things in common.

Welcome to our family.

Love ya,

Sally

hi Medicine Woman

hmmm , at 63 and still stuck in guy land , you youngsters seem to have left me behind across the pond in UK ... I am afraid that my excitement has been limited to Lambretta pop pops , and

local cats who seem drawn to me ... but the Two Spirit tradition was shown to me by a friend and it opened my eyes .

Respect

      Happiness to me is when I reached a turning point in my life, that I stop worrying what others think about me, and start living my life.

      Very, very true.  The number of murders committed by strangers in 2022 was only about 10 percent, per the FBI.   Carolyn Marie

      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!    
    • Ivy
      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.
