Got this in an email, passing it along...

To our PrideFest Supporters,

Northern Xposure Weekend – affectionately dubbed "NX" by veteran attendees -- is a Seattle social and fundraising event that takes place each August. Produced by Rich Kaalaas and George Delmar of Two Knights Event, and the NX volunteers, it raises money for Lambert House, a resource center for LGBT youth. Various social gatherings – beach parties, dances, a boat cruise and other events – allow attendees to enjoy one of the most beautiful places in the country at a particularly beautiful time of year.

Since its inception in 2000, Northern Xposure Weekend has raised more than $106,000 for Lambert House. Because of this amazing effort by a generous group of friends, Lambert House has kept its doors open to the gay youth of today, helping to shape those who will be gay leaders tomorrow.

This year, NX celebrates it's 10 Year Anniversary, with NX DECADE. It will be a time to celebrate all the hard work that has brought us to this mile stone, and will set the tone for a weekend where anyone in or visiting Seattle can enjoy a great weekend of Socializing, Dancing, Food and Fun!

Thanks, Caitlin. We do have quite a few members from the Pacific Northwest. Hopefully someone can attend.

Hi Caitlin,

We'll just have to participate? How bout the high tea? Oops that's the coffee social.

The beach party at Alki does sound like a good place to make donations, eh?

Thanks for the info!

Love, Meg

Tea? In Seattle? They'd have to take an espresso shop off of one of the street corners to sell that. That would only leave us with what? A few thousand places to get coffee? The teaming hundreds of thousands of caffeine wired minions wouldn't tolerate that very well.

I was tossing the idea of going to Alki around as well.

Dang!

Gotta work when this is going on; otherwise, I'd so be there!

Well, Caitlin and Maggie will rock The Great PNW and do us PROUD at these events. Rock ON, you two! Yeehi!

Anyway, I'll be back here in The People's Republic thinking of both of you fondly. Listening to Zep, The Stones and The Grateful Dead on KGON actually IS good consolation. Heck, on the way back from the mall tonight, KGON lets it rip with The Nuge! This place! ... does nothing ... if not ... ROCK!

Rock on, you two! Maybe I'll be up for events like that in the autumn or winter.

Peace Out :thumbsup: Lacey Lynne

Thinking fondly of both of you.

      Yes, my brother was born lactating due to absorbing hormones from my mum.    Of course she isn't a nurse, she is a CNA. She should however still have general medical knowledge.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I agree.  But sometimes unethical conduct must still be legal, because the cure would be worse than the disease.  One problem we have today with the internet is the trolls can gang up on someone and destroy them - we see the with school bullying as well.   He was in the Southern Baptist Convention, and maybe he should have moved his church over to say the American Baptists, who might have been able to help him. A Southern Baptist pastor is king in his church, peerless, which means he could not have gone for help in his church.  And he could not have gone for help from any other pastor in the SBC because they likely affirm the SBC statements on these matters.  I think he was stuck.    I read this when it came out in the news.  Very sad situation.

      One organization that I know of that is dedicated to assisting LGBT seniors is SAGE.  They advocate for, and have services for, all LGBT folks, not just trans folk.  You can find their website Here.  I am not sure what, if anything, they have in terms of financial assistance.  I'll let you know if I find anything else.   Carolyn Marie

      This was an angle that I was very suspicious of as well, and may be the hook on which the settlement was hung.      Not at all strange especially if they had former patients who moved there that still owed money on their bills or they were buying hospital supplies from a Texas corporation. They may have business licenses in other states as well.  Small loss, but saxeT shot itself in the foot there since the license was a source of income to the state. 
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Nah it's fine, I'm past the point of really blaming them most of the time. I've gotten used to it, and they could be a whole lot worse.   I'm glad you have a good place, though <3
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I wonder about the professional knowledge level here.  Men have milk ducts.  She, as a nurse, should know this.  This is interesting  https://www.livescience.com/45732-can-men-lactate.html  Yes, men can lactate and have lactated, trans or cis.  The idea that Birdie does not have milk ducts or tissue is just plain wrong.  Her statement indicates that she has not looked at the medical record, which she should be familiar with to treat the patient. 
    • Ivy
      Trans women can lactate under the right conditions. But that's not even the case in your situation.  It's so stupid how they simply refuse to accept your reality.
    • missyjo
      I used to include going ti worship but no longer    awkward good fir you. enjoy. :)   raine  sorry. my family is pretty lousy at support too. my part time job helps alot. hope it gets better fir you n all
    • Ashley0616
      It takes a lot to make me that way. Then it depends on which side comes out. I could simply walk away or be very confrontational. I'm used to being made fun of and criticized. I don't take to kindly if someone talks about my kids or family though. 
    • missyjo
      aren't folks odd ..just dress differently..like pick to be a boy for today instead of the girl you're screaming you are really..so that I can be more comfortable...needs   I'm sorry   I have family wedding this summer too..I've said for 2 years I'm not going n I've skipped holidays for that period..now I'm being told I'd best be there in boy mode...yeah right..laughs   sorry. I'm planning on once again skipping the event. until you'll let me attend as myself, I guess you dint really miss me that much .so I find something else to do n just accept the number of folks who unconditionally love me is a lot smaller than claimed.  oh well.   good luck sweetie

      I suppose both sides can claim a win they didn't get.

      Mia, forgive me, I should have introduced myself. Hi, I’m Bette. I work with trans youth and I have many young trans friends; the other day I was at a party with 30-40 of them. If you’re envious of young trans folks I understand; when I left that party I broke down in tears thinking of all I’d missed out on as a young person. But I was also happy for them, and if anyone were to try and take away their happiness I would fight for them with all my strength.   I don’t know you, but it seems to me you’re angry about more than just your inability to find help? I’m very sorry to hear that you are struggling, but I hope you are not blaming young trans folks for that. Imo there is a generation gap in the trans community and it needs healing, not exacerbating. We are far stronger when we are united.
