Update on my flu/bug/ thing:

Called the DR. He said to finish out the meds the ER gave me on sat.

If it did not clear up, or if it got worse to go back to ER.

sad.gif

My mom told my grandma last night she didnt even know it could be my gall bladder.

shows how much my mom really listens to me, seein as i been tellin her since saturday that that's what the DR told me.

(i will stop there because that will lead to a huge rant/life story/lots of pent up anger gettin released.)

Anyway, that is whats goin on with that. My head hurts super bad, and feelin some discomfort in my side.

Oh,, and 2 more of my lil cousins are comin up 2moro. this makes 5 kids under the age of 10 livin with me.

*sigh* i need a vacation. Anyone want me to come visit for a while? lol

Well, Colton...you could come up and stay with me for a while ...

Unfortunatly you'd have to fish and hunt by yourself 'cause I don't do that stuff!

Sounds pretty miserable for you right now. And gall bladder can get really painful. if you start feeling nauseated or start throwing up call the Dr. right away or go to the ER because those are signs of a blockage and can become very serious very fast. Trust me-don't try to tough it out or anything. If they end up doing surgery it's laproscopic -incisions about 1 inch and quick recovery. In the meantime avoid anything spicy or anything with fat-any fat-it triggers the attacks or increases the pain.

Sounds like you've got pretty full plate. I love having kids around-taught them for many years but if it's not your thing or you don't feel good they can get to you in a hurry! Soon as you get that gall bladder thing straightened out you could mosey over this way and we could do some fishing. They hold some of the biggest fishing tournaments in the country around here plus I have my own pond full of bass and bluegill and catfish. aven't even gotten to fish it this year so they are hungry and eager to bite.

Take care of yourself cowboy

JJ, about the foods thing, that is actually when i feel the most pain is after i eat. and i havent really been eatin a lot cuz of the pain and lack of appetite. the meds they gave me arent really helpin so once i get a hold of my mom this afternoon, i do believe we are going back to the hospital.

& its not that i dont like kids. lol i love kids, i just dont feel good, and these arent really the most respectful kids either. :/

dont really have the patience for 'em right now.

My roommate says she got her hair cut short... boy short... and she said she could probably get mistaken easily as a boy. And I know it's true, because she's quite tall, and probably more flat chested than me (unless she's wearing sports bras too, but I don't think so), and she's slimmer in the hips. But she's a cisgirl. I'm so jealous. :banghead:

Been depressed and enraged lately, so I been scarce. Today it feels like I'm finding myself all over again, rediscovering thoughts and feelings that empowered me not too long ago. Hope the storm has passed, dunno if it will be completely, but at least enough so that I can go out again.

Kinda heartbroke tho.

....eh, thats a long story.

I havent watch degrassi in idk, 3 or 4 years now.

But after hearin there was to be an FTM character on the show, i had to check it out.

Well. i just sat and watched the "My Body Is A Cage" episodes, and needless to say,

it struck a nerve.

I think they are doin a great job of showin our every day struggles as bein transgender.

I was also considerin using the episodes as a sorta educational tool when i come out.

because i can relate a lot to it.

anyway, *snif* it struck a nerve.

had to share.

Colton,

I am afraid that heart broken is one of those feelings that is just a part of the human condition and rather prevalent in our community.

When you feel that way just think about all of the wonderful people her who love you so much - that is how I get through those times - Like the song say, "I get by with a little help from my friends."

I am another one of the people who loves you,

Sally

Today I have been on Laura's 3 months! that sounds like such a short time. How can it only be 3 months??

It feels like three years-I have found so much here-learned so much-it doesn't seem possible that the time has been just one summer.

I want to thank you all -for helping me, leading me and teaching me. but also allowing me to be a part of your lives and share my ideas and opinions. Knowing they will be accepted and respected.And as I shared I learned more about myself than I could otherwise have known

I have spent these days and weeks laughing with you, crying with you , playing games with you and sharing my life as you shared yours. What more could anyone ask -what better friends could there be/

Thank you! I love you all!

Wow! So much has happened in the last three months. Dee Jay had her twin pillows, several have come out to friends, relatives, and even out full time at work! Not to mention the markers that have been changed.

I have learned so much about the extremely challenging condition we find ourselves in, and the extraordinary strength people show in meeting their challenges, plus in helping others to understand and cope with their challenges.

We love you JJ, and hope it all continues, and even gets better!

Love and Huggs to all!

Question:

I keep gettin asked the "does that mean you like girls or guys?" question by my friends, who i have came out to.

I explain that sexual orientation and gender identity are 2 different things, then tell them i identify as a straight male.

eh, just wantin to know if im handlin' it the right way, or if there is a way i should go about explainin it.

Link to comment

I believe I explained it to my brother as an internal sense of being, and that sexual orientation was a completely different matter. Of course, this was over a two hour period of time.

I also mentioned some pre-puberty events to further illustrate the differences.

Hope this helps!

Hugs,

Opal

That seems like the right way.

I hate when people ask that though, so I always tell them I'm a trisexual clown fish.

They never ask again.

Yeah I've never watched it before but I tracked down the two Adam-centric episodes. Very impressed with how they've presented the storyline. :) Hopefully he won't get sidelined for the rest of the season now and he'll occasionally get some Adam-centric bits.

This month I want to go to the LGBT Assembly on campus. I think I'll introduce myself as my male nickname, but I'm unsure what to say I am, because even though I know I'm an androgyne, I don't know how exactly I want to be perceived for the rest of my life... like what marker I want on my driver's license... but I'm tempted to just say I'm male, because I think I would prefer that than to be perceived female (though the campus's lack of gender neutral bathrooms, including where the assembly will be held, isn't cool). Or at the very least, I could see how that goes, since I'm used to hanging around all my friends that perceive me female, and it'd be nice to be perceived... not female.

Maybe if I'm lucky they just won't ask. At least, not directly. I don't know. It's just, I have a chance to introduce myself to people without the influence of any previous friends or family, so it's like a fresh start, but I don't know how to start. Kind of nervous about it all.

I'd really like to actually talk to some people, maybe get involved with LGBTQIAP events... instead of just... wandering around in the background like I tend to do in new and unfamiliar situations... =(

I found the "Men's brains and women's brain's are different and I have a man's brain-think and feel like a man" approach has worked pretty well.

This site has some good info on it where your friends can look and get some scientific as well as everyday answers:

The whole sexual orientation confusion with sexual identity does get annoying!

I went paintballing tonight.

In the woods, down by a pond which is about a 3 minute walk away.

Im pretty sore, and bruised up, but my team went undefeated tonight.

(Capture the flag style game)

We had lights, and boundry markers set up, but still we were in the woods...

and we all thought we saw/heard the bobcat that lives down by the pond.

You would have thought we were preparin for world war 3 when we ran back to the 4wheelers and trucks for our rifles.

Overall it was fun.

Oh, and saw this really amazingly beautiful girl at the store today.

I got dumbstruck for a sec when she asked me "Hey do you know if there are any Dr. Peppers in that?" (referring to the soda fridge thing by the counter)

But i did end up handin her a dr pepper and gettin a thank u and a smile.

its amazing how well i pass without even binding. the short hair works miracles. lol.

Colton-Sounds like you had fun paintballing. I wish I'd ad a chance to do that.

As far as the ladies-that cowboy attitude'll get them every time. You better watch it or you;ll have to start carrying a big stick to fight them off!

      Hey girl  I had a problem like you happen to me also. In my first year of estrogen I had a period where my level were good then they got really bad where my testosterone spike high.  I felt like you with all that disforia coming hard. Our bodies need time to adjust. The process is a real pain in the beginning. It levels out eventually and you don't even think about it. Hang in there hugs

      I wonder if there will be law enforcement procedural shows coming this fall. I can imagine Law and Order: Genital Crimes Unit, or perhaps, FBI: Domestic Genitalia. Then again, maybe they will dedicate a CSI program about the dedicated members of the Oklahoma State Police Genital Screening Unit. Good to know that those Oklahomans have their priorities squared away.

      Protections? Well, when they mandate that some who is transgender can get facial and genital electrolysis paid as it is essential to affirming care, or when they mandate and pay for facial feminization surgery, speech therapy/voice affirmation surgery, I will believe that the order is effective. One of biggest hurdles for many transgender individuals is the cost of care. I remember when my one insurance company tried to say that my speech therapy and voice surgery were "cosmetic". I remember when they blocked paying for my facial surgery. I remember the fight I had to get electrolysis. These procedures could save someone's life if the procedures help the individual successfully transition, and are no longer misgendered.

      I don't think it should be.  Nor do I see Project 2025 as pushing Christian nationalism.

      The agencies are supposed to work for him.  The problem, as conservatives found out in Trump 1, was they will ignore the president and do their own thing.  The agencies are supposed to be under his control.   Congress delegated some of its law making authority to the agencies, which is another problem.   The bloated federal government needs to be trimmed.  Dept Education is worthless - test scores have dropped since it was instituted in the Carter administration consistently, and it is currently implementing Biden's woke agenda more than doing anything else.

      I hope to eventually wear a suit for dance but don't know what exactly to look for. I feel like jumpsuit is safe option but I have been interested in wearing button up and formal pants. Is there a certain brand i should look for or sites I should look at for tips? My mom is not exactly keen on me wearing too masc clothing like suits just yet but is okay with jumpsuits. Also is there hair styling tips availible, my hair looks like image below. I might be able to get shorter haircut like pixie but am not sure yet.

      It’s never been about him, but he is the Presidential nominee for the Presidency that starts in…2025. I don’t see a lot of conflation that this is a “Trump doctrine”, it a doctrine that benefits him surely, but it is a plan to instill crony governance and enact very Christian conservative (if not purely Christian nationalist) “order” on the country. If you don’t see this as the Right doubling down on Big G government, I don’t know what to tell them. Getting rid of agencies and giving the authority directly to the Executive isn’t shrinking government. It’s consolidation power. 
    • MaeBe
      It is the made up ideology they believe trans people are pushing on the world, those “poor young girls who are being coerced into believing they are men” and the “perverts who put on dresses and think they’re girls”. The anti-LGBTQ+ movement came up with the term. Being trans = you believe in trans ideology/transgenderism, supporting trans people = the same.   In the end anyone that acts on or thinks gender is anything but what is in your pants is a “transgenderist”, why not make it a word if it’s not, there is no real grey area. Unless you acknowledge there is transgenderism, but use your knowledge to “correct it”.  So I guess there could be transgenderist conversion “therapists”.  Face it, we deface the America they want. Land of the Free and Home of the Brave? I think being out and queer is pretty brave. And freedom shouldn’t just be for those who push a narrow “Christian ideology” as the “true” governing model.

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.
