My heart swells with pride for her. Such courage.

The pronoun use was amazing too. After establishing who she was, the only reference to her name was her surname. Fantastic writing. All pronouns were feminine, too.

You know what else I like? Every comment was kind and supportive. Now THAT is something to celebrate, too.

Young people ROCK!

All my friends have been talking about this and none of them are ever aware of any trans related news... in other words, this is gonna be big!!! Congrats to Laura for facing this with confidence, she isn't just helping herself, she's helping all of us by bringing awareness to the issue.

P.S. This just goes to show that we can come from any background... I mean she is a punk rock star that has been known to get in bar fights, if she can be transgender then anyone can be :blink: (haters are gonna be paranoid now haha).

Never heard of the band, but that's really great :) I tend to think we're at the beginning of something significant for trans people, and we need all the good publicity we can get.

So. Against Me! is one of my favorite bands ever. As as teen, I related to their intensity, lyrics and rawness. Her coming out encouraged me to get my stuff together as a TG. I can not underemphasize the importance of these news and how it has changed my life. Because of her openess, I'm now facing my own self.

See she's already making a difference :) btw, welcome to the forums!

That's very cool, Ocean. We met in your intro thread, BTW.

There is a reason why TG issues, and TG people, are so much more in evidence these days. It's like a snowball, and it starts tiny and builds on itself, with every new trans person who goes public, with every positive news report, with every event, seminar, classroom discussion, popular book, T.V. show or movie with a trans character or theme. People who have felt this way all their lives see that it's OK to be yourself, OK to come out, and (reasonably)safe

The snowball is the size of bowling ball now. In a couple of years, it will be as big as a house. I can feel the momentum. This is our time. :)

I went to buy the new issue of rolling stone today so I could hear it all in her words... unfortunately it is not in the May 10th issue like what was reported, it seems they pushed it back to the May 24th issue :( guess we will have to wait...

That's good to know. It's the kind of issue that I'll buy two or three copies and keep with me for inspiration :)

-highly paraphrased-

ME: "Dad, I want a sex change."

*after 3 days of speciel chatting*

DAD: "Wow, I just remembered that the guy from my favorite band just came out too!"

Thanks Gabel, for lightning the mood for me ;)

      My size. A lot of guys aren't 5'3" at seventeen. My hands. It's a less noticeable one, but my hands are very "feminine"? If you know what I mean. My voice. Very high-pitched. I don't just sound like a female, I sound like a little girl sometimes My chest. I've had to stop binding due to frequent aches doing so, and it's not nearly small enough to just cover with baggy clothes My family. They still call me she/her, so that's an automatic out. My anxiety. I might be able to pass better if I had the courage to correct people. Instead, I'm too scared to speak up, so I find it hard. My lack of men's clothes.   Anyone else have these problems, or other ones?

      From what I have read and heard most people are so.busy with their everyday lives and either looking at their phones or in a hurry to notice you out and about.

      This exactly ^^^   I actually really liked games where I was required to play a male character. It felt homey, in a way.

      Anyone play war and order on their phones?  
    • violet r
      I can relate.  I have always played a female character when given the opportunity. Not really and reason except I just alway pick them since I was young

      Yes, our little town is having its 3rd annual Pridefest. I've volunteered the first two years  from setup to tear down (though I do take an hour off to eat and drink in the middle).     Then I attend a bigger one a couple towns over that has had some decent entertainment from some semi-famous folks (Laura Benanti, Patrick Wilson, Carmen Carrera, Judy Gold, etc).    This year I made sure to ask off of (weekend) shifts to attend a 3rd one where a group I'm in is in the parade.

      Hi Vicky, I agree with you, so far since the time I've been under the new treating doctor's care, she prescribed me medication, but it's for children lol  luckily  my pharmacy warned me from a phone call not to take the medication.

      Welcome to the party, M.A.     Sounds chaotic haha, I can confidently say that living with only two children the same age is stressful enough, much less three!

      Things hit the fan today. I was reminded that "this is not a gender fluid establishment."   I had changed my preferred name and gender at the hospital on their app. My x-ray report came in with my preferred name and gender. It was not appreciated by the centre. 😬

      I'm not a nutritionist but I've gone on bulking diets in the past so I can suggest a couple things to try. Foremost, food-prep stuff that you like to eat. Any 'real food' that usually sounds good to you. That way, you don't have the time-sink or hassle of cooking for every meal. You're more likely to eat if stuff if it's convenient and mostly ready. For example, I'll spend an hour or so one evening prepping burrito ingredients that will last me the next 3 nights. Then it's just a matter of microwaving the beef/beans and throwing them into a tortilla; takes 5 min.   If you need food 'on the go' often, consider prepping smoothies in advance pre-separated out into individual containers. I personally like low-no fat yogurt blended with fruit and, here's the weird part, those water flavor drops. They add sweetness without dumping in excess sugar. Insulated containers will keep them reasonably fresh non-refridgerated all day so they can even be tossed into a backpack.    Hope of those sparked some ideas!

      I did get a sorry from the mechanic, saying it was all on him. The boss just said I just went by what I was shown. I didn't look at the paper work. I thought maybe you should before jumping down someones throat.   I am still in the market. Just waiting to find the right one.   Hugs, Kymmie
