I would like to introduce myself. I am gender fluid, which make it difficult to describe myself at any given point in time. I have many interests: Drawing, Interior Decorating, Floral Arrangements, Seasonal Decorating, Home Improvement & Repair, Fishing, Electronics, Fiber Optics, PC Repair and configuration, Networking, Cooking, Sewing, Soldering, Auto Repair, gaming and Crafting are amongst my most cherished attributes. I am happily married with 5 kids. I simply wish to make aquaintences & friends with like minded individuals. I often cross dress in private. Because I'm fluid i teeter between masculine & feminine. This is difficult as only my wife knows and the kids don't. I am happy to meet you all -

Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums @Madelyn Rain I'm very late in life and in a slow transition. I'm out to my wife, grown children and my siblings, their support ranges from reluctant to total denial of my existence. Several are totally onboard with my transition. As for my medical and therapeutic care team... I'm out and started my conversation as they have known me from the start. Manly, just starting the transition. As I've proceeded along the transition trail, my mannerisms and speech have taken on a lighter tone. I have not started any real voice feminizing yet. My recommendation is to just go in honestly and be your comfortable self. Best wishes, Mindy🌈🐛🏳️⚧️🦋 -

It’s a “wedge issue”, used as a way of forcing other things quietly while making a big deal out of something that impassions others. Trans issues “stuck” when the Right threw all sorts of social strategies at the wall, it clicked with the base and now we’re here. Who doesn’t want to “protect the children”, right? As far as fascism goes, we’re on our way with either party but it’s not a hard guess which party gets us all the way there the fastest. Frankly, I see the Left dogged by politics of conscience. The war in Israel, the status quo of Wall Street, the perpetual increase in the wealth divide, and what little is being done on the environmental front are all indicators of capitalism guiding policy and the voter base of the Left is not impressed. The Right is dogged by (or been sold into) a persecution complex, religious or otherwise, and it has made them afraid and angry. But! A lot of the issues that cause that fear are very similar, if not the same, on the Left (see wealth divide, see Wall Street, etc.). Weaponized religion is a big difference between the voting blocks and it’s being used to create insidious identity politics. Politics like that are why the party of “freedom” wants to control who people are. Why? Because God said so. As for the OP, everyone knows the far right agenda isn’t a grass roots cause. It’s not surprising that there is big money and croneyism at work. In fact, I’ll bet the average MAGA voter would cheer it on. Grab ‘em by the pus-pocketbook! They’re the little guys in this and they need those “few” people to do god’s work with their “hard-earned” wealth. -

Hiya, I’m about to be going to my appointment to set up hrt. I have spoken with my dr about it briefly in the past, but stopped being part time and went into deep masking essentially… Now that I have decided to actually start transitioning medically I feel pressure to be a certain way which I know I shouldn’t. I searched to see if someone else had asked this question but didn’t see it posted, so sorry if it’s been asked. Did you dress femme and or use a femme voice for your appointment to discuss starting hrt? I still feel so manly in the way I look, so I just feel so… awkward about it all. Like to mask or not to or idk uggh so unsure how to feel about it as I’m totes not ashamed of who I am but insecure about looking manly. I have a femme “baby face” but am not too tall but broad and more on the muscular side. Not saying these things take away from being a woman, just they are my insecurities. thank you, Madelyn Rain -

This stuff gets complicated. Capitalism replaced Feudalism… You get enclosures, Highland clearances, the communal village culture disrupted. Was it good? Or was it bad? Kinda depends on your point of view. But I guess this is another topic. -

Seems like it. But I think a lot of current "conservative" thinking is the idea of going back to earlier social mores and enforcing such. "Conservatives" seem fine with coercing others to conform to their ideals. -

I see the corporations controlling the government, largely through campaign contributions. As for leftist, almost any cooperation has a socialistic component. It doesn't need to be controlled by the government. I see some elements of your own situation as socialist in a sense. I suspect we have a different understanding of these things. Some people see "anarchism" as simply local control. Radical left? IDK. -

The truth is that there's no unbiased media. Even if someone tries real hard to show both sides of the issue and remain unbiased in their presentation, their own opinions are bound to influence the piece in some way. That's simply writing, really, but it's a real pain when it comes to news of current events. It seems everyone takes one extreme or the other, and a lot of people don't even seem to be trying to hide their bias in the news nowadays. That's a problem regardless of political party. Going completely in any one direction is a bad idea, really. The point of a two-party (or more, really) system is that multiple types of people are represented and have someone speaking up in a way they agree with. Both sides have both faults and virtues, and that's why there's both conservatives and liberals, as well as people who might be fluid between the two sides depending on the issue. Eh, I have to politely disagree. Fascism would also mean a lot of control over things like media, and we have plenty of media outlets who will openly criticize the government based on who's in power. There's also other freedoms in our current system that would go against a Fascist philosophy. Plus, there's plenty of corporations that actively try to avoid government interventions like regulations via methods like labor outsourcing. Also, kinda unrelated, but I've never gotten the idea of conservative support of anti-trans policy? I mean, that's more government control over healthcare, which seems kinda anti-conservative in philosophy. Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong, but to my understanding of conservative philosophy, wouldn't the more truly conservative view be to leave it to offices themselves similar to how you would leave businesses to regulate what and how they provide a good/service? -

And I suppose that NPR and CNN are "fair and balanced...." I guess its all a matter of perspective, but here we literally listen to NPR as a comedy station. As in, WHAT PLANET do these folks live on???? So much of what is presented seems totally nuts. There's no shortage of big money funding the Left. George Soros, Bill Gates, the Walton family.... If they support the "climate" agenda in any way - leftist. If they support "gun control" in any way - leftist. If they support UNESCO, anything else from the UN, electric vehicles, vaccination, funding public universities, etc.... you get the picture. There's a heck of a lot of leftism going on if you just listen for the buzzwords on radio and tv. And it seems like a large portion of big corporations are using those words. What was the original idea of Fascism? Corporations working hand-in-hand with a government that controls basically everything. Doesn't seem too different from what is going on today, except that we have two parties involved. -

The only reason I tried Tetris, was some of my younger kids had a gameboy I had younger coworkers playing packman when we took breaks at convenience stores. I never could get into it. I do remember the old pinball machines in the gas stations though -

Everybody used to live that way, but not everybody is adapted to every climate. I would be fine living like that, really. My GF... well she'd be alive but I'm not sure about everybody around her. If the house isn't super cold, she becomes difficult to deal with. And the hotter it is outside, the colder she wants it inside. Even the light bothers her, so she prefers areas without windows. She'll work outdoors on projects, but when she's done sometimes she's bleeding from the corners of her eyes. Her normal body temperature is also really cold. For her, 95.7 to 96.2 is normal, and sometimes in the winter she can be as low as 92 while still appearing normal. Arctic creature, I guess... Me, I'm fine with lower temperatures as long as I'm active. But when I sleep, I get cold easily. -
