* AB 746: The law adds social media harassment to previous laws defining bullying.

* SB 48: Sexual orientation will be added to a list of characteristics that school instructional material cannot discriminate against.

* AB 887: Gender identity and expression are protected under the Fair Employment and Housing Act

Happy New Year indeed.

Good work has been done this year by a whole lot of people, in a whole lot of places. But much still needs to be accomplished. I have confidence we will get there, and someday even ENDA may come to pass. We need to keep our focus, and not let politics, external or internal, derail our efforts.

Rights are earned, not awarded. Thanks for this thread, John.

Thanks Carolyn, I remember your post when these first passed but seeing it today on the front page of the newspaper stating they go in effect tomorrow, was a nice New year's gift.

Hugs,

Thanks for posting this John ... good for CA ... I hope the other states that remain in need of these human rights protections, move forward as well. And may we have Marriage Equality in 2012!

Things are looking up ... :thumbsup:

i look forward to the day that discrimination and predjudice are outlawed nationwide. all all people may live as they see fit, in the pursuit of happiness. its in the constitution, i dont see why our governments, federal, state, county, and municipal dont uphold our constitutional right to the pursuit of happiness.

and it harm none, let it be done.

im definately an idealist. i know it. but we can together, forge our world from the ashes. so to speak.

our numbers as tgs are significant, maybe we should band together and take it to the white house.

we need to get the attention of the masses, maybe then they will come to swell our ranks in support even if they are different and not tgs, in support of the rights of all people to freedom and the pursuit of happiness.

after all, we are all americans. well not our international memebers here, but they can do likewise in their countries and then we may be able to change not only our country, but the world.

obama, recently pledged support for foreign countries that promote protection for lgbt people. i saw this in here somewhere.

why can we stop the discrimination and violence here in the us against our family? or better yet, why our politicians not doing just that. afterall, they are elected officials that are supposed to represent the people that elected them arent they?

we have to work together on all levels in an effort to bring our country and fellow americans out of the dark ages of judgement, discrimination, condemnation, and persecution.

is that not what the first pilgrims left england to escape? persecution? i know it was technically religious persecution, but persecution is persecution. at least their not still burning us at the stake. surely we would be marked as heretics and even witches back then because we did not conform to the norm.

what is normal? normal is relative, and reality is subjective.

we are all humans, and deserve respect, protection, and equality.

we shall not be persecuted based on race, religion, sex, sexual preference, nationality, or GENDER.

sex is male or female, genetically/biologically. gender is what sex you believe youself to be. it is who you are, not what you are.

ok, the professor is done. there will be an essay test tomorrow. jk, lol!

love you guys and dolls,

Just when I was starting to think I hated my state, and really wanted to move, it does something to redeem itself. California is like a cute puppy, it chews up your favorite pillow, but still brings you the morning paper.

      Well, for me, on day one is was like, wow, I feel more relaxed.  Then every day after that was more of the same.  YMMV.

      Groupings are easy for news material.  And in many nations, we live in a society that doesn't read in-depth.  There are always a few members of any group that can give it a bad name.  Pedophile priests undermined trust in the Catholic Church.  NAMBLA taints the reputation of LGBTQ+ folks....although since this thread is about Australia, I'm not sure it is very relevant.    Is it ignorance?  Perhaps.  But I think what is often labeled as ignorance is really just a different interpretation of the same facts, and different weight placed on portions of the evidence.  We also live in a time when satire and criticism aren't particularly acceptable or understood by all.   https://nypost.com/2023/06/24/drag-marchers-spark-outrage-with-chant-at-nyc-pride-event-were-here-were-queer-and-were-coming-for-your-children/   ^^^ This was meant sort of tongue-in-cheek, but wasn't helpful.    Like it or not, to many people this is "confirmation" of beliefs, not humor.  And in an era where language is changing and people often get confrontational and angry about minor aspects of language, it seems absurd to believe that there wouldn't be some sort of backlash over trying to label pedophiles as "Minor Attracted Persons."    While I don't agree with the idea that "LGBTQ = pedophile" I can understand how folks might think that was the case.

      Hello @FelixThePickleMan!  I second this breaking the cycle idea.  And the idea of getting some help to do it.  I was pushed into a treatment program in high school for marijuana addiction and because I went into it with an open mind, I was able to break the cycle by latching onto some of the literature.  It didn't keep me sober for the rest of my life, but helped a ton and was the only time I went through treatment.   I found marijuana to be fun and productive when practicing music.  At least for a while.  I can't imagine my life without the influence of it, but it would have been better to give it up a little sooner.  Drinking in the military was terrible for me, but it was good to be off of the marijuana during that time.  I didn't start drinking until I was about a year into the military.  I was trying really hard to avoid that, but there are a lot of people drinking in the military.  Be careful and love yourself!  Enjoy the journey too.   Smoking is bad for the lungs and will constrict your arteries as you get older.  It's best to put some limits on these things!  It's hard work, but worth the effort!  I found myself avoiding recovery meetings and doing recovery on my own for decades only to find myself going to meetings to enjoy being with others when I was older.  LOL!  Silly humans....   Hugs, Lydia

      Starting HRT this week (the estradiol patches were out of stock at my pharmacy last week). It's obviously a big first step in my transition and one that has been long delayed by my initially unaccepting wife (who now has dropped her opposition). My biggest initial apprehension is the much talked about emotional roller coaster in the next few months. Something that my endocrinologist also mentioned as a possibility (probability??). How troublesome will it likely be? Will this be me soon:

      I am not going to laugh at this one although I want to.  We have had some school districts here in California try the same shenanigan against our state laws. (Same result as in this case, State law supervenes local law.    I have an idea though, put skates on the county honcho and make him race against all the women in the organization doing the suing there.  I think most of the Cis women would beat the liver out of him, now what is fair?

      https://www.wbtw.com/news/grand-strand/horry-county/lgbtq-community-reacts-to-sc-approval-banning-gender-affirming-care-for-transgender-minors/     If not struck down by the courts this bill will hurt trans kids.  And that bit about "don't worry, you can transition when you're an adult?"  Don't believe that for a minute; come next session, adult trans health care will be targeted.   Carolyn Marie

      https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/judge-strikes-ny-countys-ban-female-transgender-athletes-roller-derby-rcna151806     Pretty common sense, straightforward decision.  Someone overstepped their authority - imagine that?   Carolyn Marie

      Do I ever feel? There isn't a single minute that goes by that I feel that way. I have such a strong hate for what I have that there isn't a word out there for it.
    • Ladypcnj
      Are members allowed to edit or delete their post? I can't delete or remove my post if there are misspelled words.

      I already tried that. Either too old like 60's and 70's or married. Not many people who would want to date a trans woman in dead red Mississippi. Maybe once things calm down just get a Mustang GT and just give up on it. Both are going to bring joy and pain. At least I could learn and share my love of cars with my kids when they get that old. I wouldn't even know what to do if someone said they wanted me. I would've already been thinking in my mind they are just going to ghost me so what's the point. I just don't know what to do anymore. I tried putting myself out there online and out in person. I haven't tried a bar yet although that's probably a bad idea. Maybe just to experience it again. I haven't been to one since 2013. The only problem I see is I'm not a night owl for sure. I go to bed at 8-830. My expectations were just that I wouldn't get rejected last. I have been able to handle a good bit of it but this one really hurt. I guess that's what happens when you have some hopes and expectations. It's not like I have another friend IRL to talk about this. She is my only one. I wished I didn't put myself out there.
