This stuff seems to be the major talking point for "conservatives" these days. Just shows that they don't know what they're talking about, and don't particularly care. -

Mother's Day, so I thought I'd do the right thing and cook. So, we got Chinese takeaway! 😆 Actually, we planned it days ago, just thinking that tonight we would treat ourselves. Complete with a lovely bottle of Cab Sav. -

Exactly. A plain old "Good morning" should always suffice, for example, whether the recipient expects a gender specific greeting or not. -

Hi awkward yet sweet, yeah, I tried dumping her but my current health insurance keeps directing me back to her as my primary, yet there are other doctors to choose from, but they are far away. -

This sort of stuff makes my blood boil. A prospective state politician has gained approval from his party's state council to run in their state election next year. He once stated that the + part of LGBTQIA+ is where pedophiles are categorized. For clarity, in Australia the Liberal party is our main conservative party. They have lurched further to the right over the past 10 years or so. Our main progressive, union backed party is Labor. WA Liberal party approves Dr Thomas Brough, candidate who linked LGBTQIA+ community with paedophiles - ABC News -

Happy Mother’s Day I have to be at church earlier than normal for a mic check. I have been going over what I am to say, both silently reading and reading it aloud. My concern is that my voice will freeze as it sometimes does. I felt I was honored very highly yesterday by my minister and supporter on my journey. He and another minister are Standing together to become the next co-moderators of the Presbyterian Church (USA). They included me to receive an advance copy of their initial submission. I was one of only 6 people listed on the email to receive this. Later this week it will go out to all the voting commissioners that will be in Salt Lake City for the meeting. I have asked to be allowed to attend the meeting to support him and Rev CeeCee Armstrong, whom he is standing with. We’ll time to get ready . Willow -

Nup. Not an option. You need to keep going and keep us all in the loop, and we need to keep seeing your beautiful smile! Party, schmarty. I'm 61 and haven't had a birthday party since I was 30. Even that was just a crummy meal at the pub with a few friends who we have since lost contact with. Don't sweat it. -

On behalf of everyone reading your entries here @Sally Stone, THANK YOU for creating such an informative thread. But there is one thing you might have neglected to say at the end, and that is, "And they all lived happily ever after!" ❤️ Reno sounds like a pretty good place to call home. I understand the attraction of living in a place that is not too big but not too small. I look forward to reading your subsequent posts about specific aspects of your journey. -

Hi and welcome. A few things... 1. You're right, you can't trust your friends w/r/t the question of passing. How would they even know if you pass or not? My sister used to do the same thing, telling me that no-one knew I was trans and that to her I just looked like a cis woman. I still don't know if she was serious or just trying to make me feel good, but I learned to not listen to her on that topic. 2. Buuuut, having said that, I thought I looked good, and I think that is all she was really trying to tell me, that she liked how I looked as a woman. Maybe this is obvious, but I feel it gets overlooked: passing and looking good are not the same thing, not even remotely. Your friends (I presume) are trying to tell you that you look good as you are. 3. Having said all that, I think non-passing transmascs have a harder time than us non-passing transfemmes. All I have to do to get gendered correctly 95% of the time is wear a dress and makeup and only a few seriously ignorant folks and diehard transphobes misgender me. For you, it's much harder to find signifiers powerful enough to send the same message. So in short, I don't have any answers, except that you're right, it sucks, and I hope the situation improves over time. But passing isn't everything. Maybe you're right, and in a less conservative state it wouldn't happen so often, because you'd have more people like you surrounding you. I know that where I chose to live while transitioning has been a big part of making the process a positive experience. I'd hate to be in Texas atm. -

Thank you, ladies. At the time I went from euphoric (my normal state) to not euphoric in an instant, and the lingering thought was one of self-doubt, manifesting itself with the unsolved question that maybe I never really felt like I had the soul of a woman, I just thought I did. I know I'm not the only one to ever feel this way. All part of the ride on this roller coaster I guess. Yep, and yep. Makes sense now. -
