I live in a rural area, and we actually do have Democrats here. I also see the division being pushed by the "right' as well as the "left." It seems so stupid. I'm going to shut up now. Have a great pride month, Y'all. -

I do think trans women have more visibility, and perhaps more resistance due to the ingrained misogyny in our culture - as Carolyn Marie has said. Having said that, I have gotten to know a trans man in the past year, and his struggles have been real as well - including feeling threatened in situations. As for passing, testosterone is pretty effective. The voice changes and facial hair do make it easier to pass for many. Not many people will question a man with a beard's gender*. Once you are able to get the HRT I think you will be pleased with the results. Hang in there. *I let my beard grow out for years to "prove" to myself and others that I was a "man" but it didn't really work very well, did it. -

Well… I hope everything goes well. I guess she's familiar with the process by now. -

Being a drag performer is THAT lucrative a job opportunity? In Idaho? $926k is equivalent to 18 years' pay for an average worker in that state. I understand that attorney fees can run pretty high, though. -

@NoEli6, I completely understand where you're coming from, and I sympathize with you. Yes, I believe it is true that trans men get shortchanged when it comes to recognition of your numbers in the world, the attention paid by the MSM, as well as the trans community and academia. I also think that is changing, based on the number of articles I see in my news feed. There are also many more articles on research papers concerning HRT and other issues facing trans men. So it is understandable that many in our community downplay the struggles trans men go through. I do think that trans women face a more dangerous world than trans men, and for the same reasons that cis women face more dangers than cis men. All one needs to do is look at the statistics on the murder and assaults of trans women. That said, trans men do also face dangers out there in the world, and I don't discount that at all. There was a much loved trans man on this site years ago whose own father shot him when he was about your age. So yeah, I do understand your fears. They are real and justified. As @Charlizesaid, your time will come and things will get better for you. We see you, we cherish you, and we respect your feelings. You are welcome here. HUGS Carolyn Marie -

I asked myself this very thing many times through the years. Ultimately, I realized these feelings were being heavily influenced by the concept of gender needing to be singular. I guess the strong influence makes sense, since it has been so ingrained into our society. I found the will to reject the concept, though, because it wasn't right for me. Doing so, allowed me to be at peace with my bi-gender nature. -

@KathyLauren This is how the jurors broke down the award: Being labeled as a molester and sexual pervert can and has done that much actual damage in terms of repair of the damage through a wide variety of means including legal fees and loss of livelihood in any job or profession. As this said the idea of "reckless disregard for the truth" means that the performer was able to show a level of damage that will affect him now and in the future. The $900K+ figure was a matter of real evidence of the damage. -

Well, it has been an interesting morning. I stayed home from service to take care of a partner. She's the youngest of us, and I'm usually not her first choice for affection. But this morning she curled up in my lap right before breakfast, and told me she was feeling ill. And then threw up on me about 30 seconds later.... I guess the smell of the food is what did it, poor thing. On a hunch, she took a pregnancy test and.... yep. She's been married to our husband for 10 years, and this will be her 6th, so I'm happy for her. We took a shower and she got back in our nest to sleep some more, which is probably the best medicine of all. Maybe she'll feel better this afternoon. -

Article said $250,000 of it was "punitive." To me, seems like the whole thing was punitive...which I don't think is appropriate at all. -

Biden himself is driving that "divisive wedge." Could have done without the anti-gun garbage in his statement....it makes it seem like all LGBTQ+ folks agree with their agenda. Which simply isn't true, and makes life difficult (and unsafe) for those of us who prefer to live in rural (and non-Democrat) areas. Pride month would be happier for many (and more socially accepted) if it could somehow be separated from ancillary political issues. -

I haven't seen the ruling, but it is unlikely that the entire amount was for actual damages. The majority was likely punitive, as it should be. -
By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted
Unless somehow this caused a million dollars worth of damage to somebody's livelihood or life, the amount of this judgement seems excessive. Not something I would call "uplifting" or anything to be pleased about. -
