A Place To Say Something

Wel, you'll have to see what the senate does, if anything and if it gets cloture. I have my doubts about that. I am also pretty sure that covering pre-existing conditions will be one of the major sticking points. Once you start allowing it again, more will be uninsured and end up in emergency rooms for their health care. Even when it is not an emergency, but just because that is the only place they can go to get treatment.

I read that the Senate team working on their version of the bill is all male.  That they would not include women members of their caucus on a bill that is so important to women is unconscionable.

By the way, all this talk about pre-existing conditions, they say that's only if you buy your own insurance. They said that if it's employer sanctioned, nothing changes. 

Even if this is true, how is that not a form of discrimination???

It's been explained that employer sanctioned insurance is not immune from changes due to the law. Why would they want to cost themselves more than needed?    Also prior to the ACA many employer plans had lifetime caps that had to be lifted.  My company did.  There's no reason why they wouldn't go back to a cap.

Back after a long time of being away. Lived male for a year and a bit, detransitioned just over two years ago - it was way too hard for me to deal with society. A few circumstances have triggered my dysphoria in increasing amounts and I think I need to seek some professional counseling again. Last time I was scared off because no one knew how to handle transgender people so I never got the help I needed.

In addition, I'm finding that I embrace femininity when I'm dating men because they give me validation, but the little bits of dysphoria never subside.

Glad your here Zayden.  I doubt at times that i will fully be any gender.  Fortunately the feelings of dysphoria have left me 95% of the time.  My GT helped a great deal and so has sharing and reading the shares of others here.

We are not alone.

 

Hugs,

...and the mic DROPS! 

I've come to understand, at least for myself, that gender dysphoria is not curable.  Dysphoria can be reduced but my gender will probably haunt me to my death.

Welcome back :)

This sentence is making me think. I tend to drift all over the place gender wise, fundamentally with respect to society. Yes I do feel better with validation. As for Charlize's: 'I doubt at times that I will be fully any gender' - I know I am fully a gender for moments in time, but I think there is a lot of truth in the statement.

Same. I know who I am on the inside and who I would be if I could choose, but I feel trapped in my own body and like I can't live authentically. 

I'm not in despair so much as just confused. I know who I am but I don't know what the right decision is.

I love everyone at Laura's Playground.

Also, the new Ayreon album is the best music I have heard in a long time.

Two years ago when my kitchen was re-modeled I moved my refrigerator from one side of the kitchen to the other.  This morning while I was attempting to get something out of the refrigerator I had a small accident and a big mess because the doors open so that I have to back into my laundry room to close the refrigerator door to take food to the kitchen sink and I tripped on a pile of laundry and went tail over teakettle with a pot of soup in my hands.  The good thing was that in cleaning up the mess (I was unhurt except for my dignity) I saw how I could re-mount the doors so they would open the other way and get to the sink and go back and close the refer door.  Where has my head been all this time??

We received a couple more inches on top of the 3 we got the other night.  In Boston they were reporting it was the first time in 14 years there has been a white Christmas.  I made sure I filled my bird feeders last night for the ones that don't fly south.  I hope everyone has a nice day doing whatever pleases you!

It's a fact well known by the supermarkets, who put the lines they want to sell at eye level. When playing hide and seek I found it best to hide very low or very high :D

Until the movement of the fan knocks the dust butterflies loose and they land in someone's hair or food.:blink:

      Tension is not a well-understood psychological state. It can be both positive and negative, much like stress itself. A 2015 research paper on the theoretical framework of tension notes it's an anticipatory emotional state which tends to be associated with: conflict.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.
