I'll try to write my own don't worry I aint gonna shy away from doing it myself:

Here is what I want any of you writers to do if you so wish:

Write a poem, lyrics or a short story with a character or something that represents different aspects of yourself BUT it HAS to have a happy ending or just generally upbeat. If you start of sad you HAVE to end it on a happy note!

Get writing! And post it within this post.

Before you

Lays the words

Of a woman

Long repressed

By others

And suppressed

By herself.

Until she realized

The inner truth

Of her soul

Which shone

With the brilliance

Of hope.

Struggling to overcome

Years of abuse

And self-loathing

Which were poisoning

Her very soul.

Each day of life

Marks another victory

Over the destructive impulses

Of hate and corruption.

This may not seem like

Much to you

But to me

They are huge steps

Of accompliment.

As I take

My victories

Wherever they happen.

Wll, here goes my little soliloquy!

From the moment ‘he’ was born, his parents have never been the same. They’re colder people, they are bitter people, they are hurt people. They feel cheated out of a son… Jonathan Nathaniel Lewis Chazer was born with deficiencies unknown to the medical professions at the time, with no hope of it being corrected. Mrs Chazer was no longer able to give birth after that day, and ‘he’ was blamed, all of this was his fault. Why else? Who else? What else was there to blame except the unfortunate child born into a harsh world unforgiving to his deficiency. The moment it was obvious the child was disabled the doctors agreed with the parents to never even whisper a word about his birth, as far as they were concerned Mrs Chazer had a miscarriage and the child died.

Johnny lives in the basement of his parent’s house, or rather as he is told to call them, the house of Mr and Mrs Chazer, who are kind enough to look after a friend’s child after she died. Feed him once a day, and give him the company of the pet Chihuahua and its as if nothing they did was wrong. It was all love, yep, they never did anything wrong, if anything they should be hailed as saints. Hell they even gave him music, why prosecute such great people, hell give them a Gosh darned medal.

Of course Johnny didn’t know any other life, he didn’t know what it was like to be loved, to be cared for and to feel safe. He knows what its like to be abused, to be unloved, to be spat upon, to be reviled, to be depressed… To be Jonathan Nathaniel Lewis Chazer, all he was told he would accomplish in life. Take what you can get, right? But Johnny wanted freedom, he wanted to escape into something more, to be more. He had a plan on how to escape, if he just put his music up high enough… There was nothing else. No one else. He was alone, he was invincible and he could be someone of importance. To him music was more then something you could just listen to, say yes I like that, no I don’t. He listened to it, he became it, and he was the hero of imagination an undeniable god of goodwill. He was happy, he deserved to be happy. Through the gift he was given of music, he gained the ultimate gift of happiness… No matter how much he was abused and yelled out there was always a way to turn it off.

Johnny’s deficiency gave him a horribly short life, and he died early in his timeline at the age of 14… He didn’t take anything in his life for granted; everything he was given was special and especially the music.

The question is… What does music really do to us? It affects us, infects us and makes us… Happy.

My little 500 word story on my view of just how important music is to us, as it is something that I encompass in my soul everyday. It also shares my view on take everything we have been given as a gift (As Johnny did the music) :) Personally I don't think the end was sad, I thought it rather happy! Johnny found a way to be at peace with the world, and die a happy person, even after the things he went through ^_^.

The Woman Within

While I do not like assignments

The pressure is too intense

Breaking down into dire laments

Filled with sadness so immense

The challenge has been justly made

To tell a tale of happiness

So from the task I shall not fade

Here the tale of tenderness

Once there was a young boy in a nearby land

A little small and a little odd it seems

No one could ever quite manage to understand

Why he withdrew into his land of dreams

For they saw him as a man

Oh foolish people of little sight

They read the label as a can

Never knowing of his poor plight

Trapped within this every growing frame

Was a young girl waiting to come forward

But for many years no one knew her name

The boy became a man but remained a coward

Hiding her deep within himself

Never letting her step into the light

Hiding her away upon a shelf

Keeping her in darkness out of sight

One day it became too much to take

There was no more way to hide her away

She burst forward her life to make

Basking in the sun of that glorious day

For now that boy who became the man

Has finished his transition

Finally the world will see the woman

Standing proudly in her position

The woman who never was a little girl

The woman that no one knew

The woman whose hair does lack a curl

The woman who was born anew

Her life had not been easy

Her troubles were not small

But now so light and breezy

She has conquered them all

Love ya,

Sally

THE PLAN

By Carolyn Marie

Once there stood a little man,

Who no one really knew.

Inside his brain he hatched a plan,

To himself he would be true.

The plan took root and soon became

The source of hope and pride.

He wouldn't live in doubt or shame,

The world would see the girl inside.

The plan was laid so perfectly

That nothing could go wrong;

In no time flat his friends could see,

The change in him so strong.

At last there stands a pretty girl,

Who no one really knew.

Inside her brain a plan unfurled,

To herself she is now true.

Open Eyes

It begins with one day

A sad one at that,

I never thought it possible

To be happy where I'm at.

Start to look deep within

Find out my truth,

Listen to the words I say

It's time to really move.

Cuz' I never found a thing I couldn't beat

And I never wanted things that I couldn't reach.

But it's only just begun

The Trials never end,

Is it such a tragic thing

To not have to pretend.

Nothing in this world of ours has ever come free

Listen to the voice inside and just let yourself be.

Time to walk a path in life set at our feet

Open up your heart this time it's what the world needs.

      Thanks, Mindy. It has been so far. Tomorrow, work some more on the wife's grand monkey. Got the right side of the hood primed, just need to do a little more work on the left then I can prime it. Then a 600grit wet sand.   I promised the wife we would take out the bike this weekend.   Kymmie

      During my last visit with my psychologist (who has agreed to provide required letters of recommendation along with a colleague to provide the second) we discussed the shift towards my wife's acceptance. It was a long discussion but one point I mentioned was how much the two of us sitting down and watching this documentary helped:  The Kings | A transgender love story (2017)

      Oops, I did not mean to post that comment yet! I was going to also say, having read a mountain of commentary on the Review, I think Julia Serano’s response (linked by Vicky above) is the most accurate and thorough. You can also read a non-paywalled version at Substack: https://juliaserano.substack.com/p/the-cass-review-wpath-files-and-the   To me the three key areas in which the review is deficient are:   1. As has already been said here, its views on social transition;   2. Its attempts to give credence to the “ROGD” theory (without ever actually mentioning ROGD because presumably a canny editor knows that would be too transparently transphobic);   3. To me, most crucially, its claims about trans youth and suicide, which are dealt with summarily in about five pages and do not stand up to any deeper scrutiny.    I will be writing about each of these issues in isolation over the next few weeks and appearing on a radio show and podcast to discuss them late in the month. I will post links to these on TP later if anyone is interested.   All that said, I actually think it’s dangerous for us to respond with outright vitriol and condemnation to the review since, like any effective piece of disinformation, it does actually contain some factually based and even helpful recommendations. The Tavistock Gender Identity Service really was underfunded and understaffed and certain staff were not adequately trained. Trans kids really were funnelled away from mental-health support once they started gender-affirming care too. So yes, more investment in youth psychology services would help, as would a less centralised model of care, more training in treatment of trans kids, and more research.   One last thing for now: beware the claim that Cass ignored 98% of studies. That’s not strictly true. She seems to have taken other studies into account but leaned heavily on the 2% that met her standards. Nor does she ever claim that only randomised controlled trials are good enough evidence to justify the use of blockers for kids; just as with ROGD, she strongly suggests this, but is too canny to say it, because she knows such trials would be impossible. For now, I think the best response to this comes from the Trans Safety Network: “[…] we believe there to be systemic biases in the ways that the review prioritises speculative and hearsay evidence to advance its own recommendations while using highly stringent evidence standards to exclude empirical and observational data on actual patients. “ (https://transsafety.network/posts/tsn-statement-on-cass-final-report/)   To me, the scariest aspect of all this is that, if it follows Cass’s recommendations, the NHS will very likely follow Finland’s recent model of trans care, which seems to amount to a prolonged form of conversion therapy. I can’t find the link right now, which is probably lucky for anyone reading this, but I bawled my guts out reading the testimonies of kids who had been mistreated by that system. Truly horrific. To me, at least from my Australian perspective, the Cass Review is the most frightening development in trans rights in recent years. To me, the safe care of trans kids is THE number one issue in politics atm.   Ruth Pierce has a good summary of responses from trans folk and their allies sk far: https://ruthpearce.net/2024/04/16/whats-wrong-with-the-cass-review-a-round-up-of-commentary-and-evidence/

      Welcome to the wide, wild world of transgender, M.A.  It can definitively be overwhelming, but everyone here is amazing, so no doubt you'll get bunches of wonderful support. I think you'll be happy you found us.   
    • Sally Stone
      @Ladypcnj  This is so true.  I think all of us here have had a post or two that didn't get a response.  Sometimes, it's as simple as adding to your original to post for a clearer explanation, or re-reading what you wrote originally, and rephrasing it.  But don't despair, we aren't ignoring you.   Hugs,   Sally

      I have just finished reading the Cass Review, all 380-odd pages of it, and am totally open to questions including via DM if anyone wants more information on it

      What season are you?  If you don't know, look around on the internet. Or ask a girl friend..  Maybe someone here is even a color consultant?   And there are guides on figure-flattering clothes for all shapes that you should look into.    Abby

      Just know that your kids will probably turn out OK, in spite of the chaos.  One of my partners was widowed in her very early 30s, left with 3 kids.  They're teens now, and one graduated a year ago and is working, but still living at home.  A few bumps in the road, but the three are turning into responsible young adults.  It is amazing how resilient kids can be.  They should be able to handle your changes as well.

      I've been transitioning now for eight months but have been wearing women's clothing for 2+ years. I am over weight and approaching my 72nd birthday. I have purchase my solid color clothing online and recently graduated to 'V' neck tops. I have been hesitant to get anything more girly due to family issues, though with my hair style I am able to totally pass when dressed in a skirt and blouse.   About two  months ago I finally went and got my nails done (which I truly which I had done long ago) though not red nor pink (again family issues). To date I don't think I am having problems with being trans unlike others seem to have. The biggest problem I am having is with my clothing. Any suggestions my girl friends might have would be greatly appreciated.   Cindy

      Umm.... if a post is ignored, live with it?   My stuff gets ignored sometimes, and its OK.  My life is different, and may seem kind of wacky to others.  Some folks just can't relate, or if I'm needing advice they just don't have it.  Diversity is like that sometimes.  If your post gets missed, don't take it personally.  Also, stuff that is new on weekends seems to get ignored more, since most folks are busy with family or other stuff during that time.  Overall, I think people here are pretty helpful.

      I'd really love a professional stove.  There's actually one I want at Lowes, but its like $6k.  I've got plenty of money, the issue is that I'm not the queen (king?) of my den.  Or even of the kitchen.  My partner (husband's wife #1) owns that territory, and she's very attached to what she's got.  One of our stoves has 6 burners and a large oven, the other has 4 burners and a regular household sized oven.  And of course, there's always the wood-burning equipment.    Today was interesting.  We had the first campaign fundraiser for our sheriff and my sister.  My sister is running to be constable of our township.  Pretty sure she'll win, as her opponent is an old dude who is mostly running on "Don't elect a woman for a man's job"    What's weird is our sheriff is running as a Democrat, but he's conservative.  And his Republican opponent sounds like a leftist.  Welcome to Upside-down-ville   And of course all the kids got the chance to sit in a sheriff's car, and play with the lights.   We had a barbecue lunch and a dessert auction.  I baked three apple pies for it, and I was shocked that they sold for $20 each, since my cooking isn't that great.  My partner made her famous "Chocotorta."  It's like a chocolate layer cake with cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and it tastes amazing.  Usually we have it for Christmas and other really special occasions.  Two guys got into a bid war, and it sold for $175!!!    Yep, this is politics in the South.  Barbecue, pies, and police cars.  A great way to spend a Saturday

      Yes. That report is part of a conspiracy to torture and murder trans people. It is a lie. It is evil.
