It is hard to go to AA meetings when you're in transition, but you have a great attitude. I know you'll do well.

I stopped going to AA five years ago when I started transitioning because I didn't know how to express my feelings at the group level. Lucky for me I didn't have a relapse.

Love,

Where I live there are lots of coed meetings. Are you in a rural area with limited options? I've heard it said you bring solutions to the meetings and problems to your sponsor. I know an old guy and a gay guy with female sponsors. I'd think being on hrt you really need a sponsor you can trust to do the 'unmanageability" thing in step 1. For me that would be a hard path without a sponsor to confide in. Some things don't need to be brought to meetings if its outside your comfort zone. Going to meetings alone can keep you sober but usually doesn't bring the spiritual journey which is the best part. Maybe check for GLBT meetings too?

Best wishes

I definetly know what your saying im way to scared to ask a female to be my sponsor.Im thinking i might get misunderstood but at the same time the person im working with now certain things i dont want to talk about like my transition.My old sponsor new that i was transitioning i think it help that fact that he new made things easier to talk about.Honestly i dont know if i need to tell my new sponsor il just see how it plays out and if its needed than i will if not there no need to tell him.The glbt meeting are really good theres not ones in my area there kinda far away might be able to get to 2 a week.

Dear Jo-Ann,

<<< hug >>>

Truly becoming a woman surly must be more important than any desire to drink.

It was for me, and so i quit smoking and drinking.

Save your liver for Estrogen :D

You won't regret it :wub:

      @April Marie Yes, it's something to shop for at least for 6-8 weeks.

      Definitely points to learn and keep in mind.  A bunch of stuff I had put in mental "cold storage" thawed out a bit there and ready again to run through my mill.  As said, a bit long and as usual from her a tad bit challenging.  Overall I see it and can use it as a working hypothesis.

      Yes,I hate that     Also finding out I might be father of a 24 year young lady.I had an one night stand with a woman off base when I was in the army.Called this afternoon and said I am possibly the father of her now 24 year old daughter.Told her I will agree with a paternity test that will be done.

      Yeah.  I like Nebula, that was where I watched it.   I posted the YouTube cause I figured more people could see it.

      We agree on most of this... and the church/state thing is kind of a tangent anyways. Oops. LOL   I think it has long been established that all different kinds of groups have access to public funds. In my opinion, either everybody has access or nobody does. I would prefer "nobody."   Relying on public funds gives the government the power to take it away, and puts that power in the hands of whatever group controls the government at the moment... the news article that is the topic of this thread shows a clear example of that happening.  Organizations trust government at their peril.

      Fantastic news! Thank you for updating us.

      More info on Abigail Thorne here: https://go.nebula.tv/philosophytube and, Dracula's ex-girlfriend, on Philosophy tube.   "The reason why Nebula is so cheap for what it is, is because there's no upper hierarchical group looking yo skim off the top. Imagine how much cheaper EVERYTHING could be if it was like that for every other service or product; if the money went straight to workers, not up a chain of command until it reached someone who did exactly "jack" to produce what's being sold.

      I'm aware that the young US ended up fighting a war with these people, and that phrase was not meant to address Church & state.  But somebody was willing to include it at the time.   I am also aware that your family arrangements would not go over well with most christian nationalists.  But that is kinda where I'm coming from on this.  I believe you and others of us with an unconventional lifestyle should be free to live as we desire - as long as we are not hurting anyone else.  And by "hurting" I don't mean only their feelings.   Using christianity to justify oppression is just wrong.  As is forced conversion, or forced conversion therapy.   Regarding public funds, LGBTQetc people have as much right to them as straight-cis folks.  I'm not arguing that queer people have more rights, just equal rights.

      Even better news:  It turns out for my sister it was cardio not stroke. She’s put on new blood thinner and sent home. False alarm! Yay.

      Things have changed since I've been on HRT for about 15 years. The consequence is I am not so concerned about how I present all the time.  I wear t-shirts a lot. I am pragmatic in how I shop. No, I don't want to look male, but will buy some male clothing because it fits. I am tall and built like a football linebacker, so buying women's clothes that fit can be difficult. For one I have no problem buying men's sneakers if they can pass as unisex. I wear size 12-13 women's shoes. And that can be hard to find. And, I don't like wearing slacks without pockets. I use pockets for work.    I've learned to be pragmatic. I dress up when I want to go out in public, and not so much at work. I do have a favorite blouse that accentuates the girls. And one blue striped blouse where I wear a cami top.

      https://www.patheos.com/blogs/danthropology/2016/05/secularists-please-stop-quoting-the-treaty-of-tripoli/   ^^^ an interesting piece about the treaty, written by an atheist.   I totally understand why the Christian nationalist stuff makes people uncomfortable. For me, it is uncomfortable in a different way, as modern Christian nationalism is not nearly as "generic" as the views of the Founders.  Its specifically Evangelical.  I'm in a plural marriage, so definitely not approved of.    I believe the intent of the Founders was to uhold generic Christian ideas... "in God we trust" and "there's a God who created the world and He wrote ten commandments for us" sort of stuff.  Nothing beyond that, nothing specific enough to use against folks.
