The fact that Laura's is here in the first place is a tremendous demonstration of LOVE.

The fact that so many people here put so much effort here to help all those in need... is a demonstration of LOVE.

The fact that so many people come here, is a demonstration of LOVE.

LOVE is here and will always be here.

LOVE is demonstrated best when expressed selflessly.

For me, LOVE is LIFE, TRUTH and SPIRIT.

LOVE is who we are.

LOVE is what has brought us here, and will continue to bring us here.

All my LOVE

Nice post Brenda

My definition of love is doing something for someone or something else because you want to. The emotion that is a part of love grows naturally with the selfless giving of oneself.

There are so many members who give of themselves at Laura's and genuinely want to help and comfort others in mental and emotional need, and not expect anything in return. This is what makes Laura's a special place.

The poet/songwriter Leonard Cohen defined it best for me as a transgendered woman. We are but clay vessels, cracked from the tragedies, abuse and mishaps of life but within is a

Divine light shines whose brightness can only be seen through the cracks.

It is only the vessel that remains completely intact from which the light

within cannot shine.

Hugs, Miss Ricka

Love is a net that caught me when I came here.

Kept me coming back disbelieving the gift I was being offered.

Love won me over and gave me back my trust

To those who ave given so selflessly of themselves and their love I can never say thank you enough-so I try to follow in their footsteps and spread their love in a wider field as I pass on what they taught me.

I love you all but those whose incredible light shines with a special brightness in my life know who they are but perhaps not that what I do here I do because of them!

In the beginning when I first arrived here I was tempted to agree with Rachel Ann that love was an illusion but I had not been here very long when I first reached out to one of the troubled souls and learned how good love felt but I was so sure that it would never be reciprocated - I was so wrong.

There are many forms of love and I have found almost all of them here at Laura's, maybe all of them it is so hard to tell - Love keeps surprising me.

For me love has been redifined and is so much easier to share now.

So here is a little love for each of you,

Sally

Love to me is the unconditional acceptance and understanding one has for another. They are there for them through the good and bad times. There may be bad times but Love will always keep you together as friends, family, or S/O's.

      Well, my friends are out publicly. Openly transgender, and on HRT.  I agree that the survival of all of us is at stake.  But I think there are threats greater and more dangerous than those faced exclusively by LGBTQ folks.   Rising prices. Unaffordable food.  EPA strangling transportation and energy.  Needless foreign wars that put us at risk of literal nuclear annihilation.  A government that wants to tax us, track us, and control every aspect of our lives...including using us as guinea pigs for their medical experiments.     Trump is no savior.  Neither is the Republican party.  But I believe that a vote for Democrats in the federal government is for sure a vote for globalism and what follows it.  War, famine, plague, slavery, and death don't care if we're trans or cis.

      People who are out publicly, and openly transgender, maybe on HRT, having changed names and gender, have a lot to lose if anti-trans politicians take power.  They have openly called for our eradication, and promise to do everything they can to accomplish this.  (again, 2025) For someone in this position the election is about our survival.  It's foolish to delude ourselves into thinking "Oh, they don't really mean that.  It's all for show," or, "There's other more important things to concern ourselves with." Maybe for some people the other things take priority.  But if you have skin in the game, things look different.

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name.

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.
