Ooh, if politics doesn't kill this thing, Nothing will.

Well, I think politics can kill a thread. But only after an agonizing devolution where there is a whole lot of banghead.gif (I just wanted to use that emote... It's cracks me uptongue.gif)

So let's see if I can hijack this thread...

Bunnies!!!

And feel just as outraged that the people who teach our children often make less tan janitors. Think what some of that money could do for them.

Where's this?! I'll go work for 'em! :P Teachers here make twice what I do. They's deservin it of course, but I aint makin enough to live in the same county I work in. Course buyin new computers every school year might be eatin at my possibilities.

So vote and change it. It's the only way. My generation believed we could change the world.

And you know what? We did. It IS a better world in many, many ways-including public access to information and awareness of the rights of individuals, student rights and services, job protect. accountability. On and on. I grew up in the 50s and nostalgia aside it really wasn't a very nice-or even a very free time.

Besides-as someone wise recently pointed out to me-they even still play our music!

But do you know how upsetting it is to see the young rebel rockers o my youth now wrinkled and liver spotted?!

I do vote! Every chance there is! But that's not the problem. Your generation didn't have the attention span of a Sponebob Squarepants viewer. You could focus on something long enough to give a crap. And it's not getting better. I can't believe I'm pointing to something created by the creator of Beavis and Butthead, but he makes an awesome point with this movie. If you haven't seen it, watch it, and be very very afraid!Click here

Kelsie-I'm sorry if you took that as aimed at you. Nor did I mean to imply you don't vote.

We have different perspectives on history. I see the names of activists from my generation still active. And I see a few old hippies around being hippies still. Perhaps we are focused on different people from my generation.

If you want to criticize my generation then make it for the tidal waves of drugs for which we opened the floodgates.

I spent my working life trying to make a better world one child and family at a time-and from my perspective it is.

But each has their own values and perspectives. And is entitled to their opinion.

You're right-I'm sorry-I did misread. And I'll have to request that movie with my next order. Thanks for straightening that out for me. I've always liked you and your posts and was surprised when I misread.

Would you buy senior moment-even though I read it twice?

My own take on 500 years in the future-we'll be as socially and spiritually advanced as we are technologically advanced -or we'll be making stone tools and living in caves.

Hugs

This is the kinda thing that can't die. Even if it looks like it's dead, 6 months later someone will bring it up. And then a whole lot of people will respond to the orig post as if it were just posted that day.

awesome being awesome :D

It took me so long to learn to spell awesome correctly.

Also, I think that when a thread is killed that sometimes you may have made such a good point that people are just like "that is awesome and they know it because that was so pithy."

And now this tread dies due to my lameness.

      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.

      You are both beautiful.  Have fun.

      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.
    • Mirrabooka
      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.

      Hi Birdie, I can relate to that.

      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.

      Good morning everyone,   I’m sitting at my gate waiting to board a jet ✈️ home. Happy Mother’s Day.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋🏳️‍🌈❤️
