To escape Gaza is already an achievement. And then to be trans?’: the women defying national and gender boundaries.

Accidents happen. So do heat-of-the-moment murders, without premeditation or trans-related hate. It will take a trial to really figure it out.
One thing we can see from this is that it is people in our circles of acquaintances, friends, and partners who are the ones who usually hurt us. Not someone random. We have to be careful who we trust.
Friday May 17th is IDAHOBIT (International Day Against HOmophobia, BIphobia and Transphobia).
Do you acknowledge or celebrate it? Do you do anything special for it, like taking part in any organized events or activities?
I'm not an activist and I prefer to fly under the radar, but I am slowly becoming aware of important dates. I have been aware of the date of IDAHOBIT for a few weeks now, but other important 'rainbow' dates have not been etched into my brain yet.
I will wear my favorite pride t-shirt as a token acknowledgement of the day, but it probably won't be seen; cool weather here will mean that it will be hidden under a sweater.
Happiness for me comes from being cognizant of the things that make me feel good.
Sunshine.
Pandering to my inner woman.
Knowing that some people in my life really 'know' me.
Vacations, and Eggs Benedict at an alfresco cafe.
My wife and I being telepathic.
Grandchildren.
Music.
Wine!
Hello & welcome, giz! Your post makes me remember how excited I was to join here too. I also had queer friends at the time I joined, but any of my trans friends lived a long distance away. So most local queer friends are gay & I felt uncomfortable coming out to them bc I couldn't assume they'd understand genderqueerness. So it was a thrill to join here and immediately have access to do many wonderful, genuine, kind & thoughtful friends-to-be.
Are you saying you're concerned that if you come out to your queer friends that somehow your parents will find out?
My love, I just want to affirm that that's not a weird dysphoria. It's just dysphoria. And we definitely get it. You're in good company here!
Look forward to seeing you around here & getting to know you. I shoot for androgynous appearance as well, leaning towards masculine.
Hope you're having a splendid day!
Listening to a YouTube mix for me and this song came up and I immediately fell in love again and just want to play music with like minded musicians playing OUR music and feel the joy and fulfillment even if no one else gets it. I love to fall into the music....
Welcome to the forums, giz! We’re so happy you found us. You’ll find lots of information and many wonderful people here. Each of us is unique but we all share similarities as well. Look around, ask questions and join in where you feel comfortable!
Funny.....
The day-centre transportation director told me yesterday morning that I was to receive an award, my picture on the website, etc... for having won the billiards tournament (I knew better).
Later that afternoon he returns to "shake my hand" and tell me, "thanks for participating."
I could have told him that was all I would receive earlier. I'm not well liked by management.
