Last week I rang my brother in law to explain to him what his sibling has . I said to him firstly there was something I needed to share and that it could impact the way he sees his brother . I said to him that all we ask for is acceptance as her as a person no one needs to accept the condition just accept her for who she is . I went into detail about the condition . He was wonderful he said that no matter what he will always love him and he will always be his bro . I thanked him so deeply . He also said why should a condition change the way I see him . I explained a little more . He still was very supportive and loving . He was really concerned about how I'm coping . His heart is in the right place . What I have worked out is that even though he called him bro he still loves him . We can't focus on using the right gender words when loved ones are so used to calling you what they have always known you by . Acceptance as a person regardless of gender goes a long way. For some it's to hard to try and get their heads around . People need time and understanding . So through sharing with my brother in law my partners bond with her brother remains . :)

Thats a great thing to do for your spouse! Angel your the best!

My brother and i never got along very well. Cold at best. He has been so much closer since i have transitioned. He seems to love having a sister. Its fun and we are enjoying each others company. Maybe he doesn't feel the need to compete.

Hugs,

Charlie

You're brother in law is a great person with a big heart, Angel. You're also right that at this point, the pronouns are not important at all. it often takes seeing someone in their preferred gender, several times, before that really sinks in. You are an amazing woman, Angel.

Did your S/O prefer that you tell her brother? Just curious.

      Political candidate, who linked pedophiles with LGBTQIA+, gains preselection approval.

      By VickySGV · Posted

      As one who had to deal with the Porn/Adult Entertainment business as commercial, taxpaying businesses on a professional level, I can say that they are in it for money and the highest percentage of their income comes from ultra conservative areas where adequate Medical and Mental Health Profession and University Science instruction on Trans issues are banned.    It makes me wonder how much porn literature is hidden behind the 13 Bibles and Bible Study guides on some people's family bookshelves.

      Do you ever feel trapped in a body that doesn't feel like yours?

      There's the old thing of getting out and getting involved in things in the community and meeting people that way. Does your church have a food pantry? Does it have service opportunities you could plug into otherwise? You might run into someone that way.

      Well that didn't go well. She said she is intentionally single. When will I just stop thinking about putting myself out there. It really hurt but rejection and getting ghosted is just my second language apparently. The one person I have told all my dark secrets and didn't run off. At least we are friends. I'm happy only when I'm sleeping and that is it because things actually go my way from time to time. Just another wonderful day of me. SMDH!

      In their minds, yes, unless it is clearly, consistently, forcefully articulated by those who represent trans people that we are not.  I'm not sure who that would be.

      So, this proves that we're all  pedophiles? I suspect that the majority of pedophiles are probably cis.   Yeah, Alexander the Great was probably queer.  What does this have to do with me needing to pee?   I am so tired of this ___.  I raised 8 kids and never molested any of them - unless you count changing diapers without closing my eyes.  Yeah… so tired.   It makes me wonder what is actually on these people's minds.

      Whew! I don't think I want to see that age unless I can still function normally although my family hasn't gotten to live that long. The oldest lived to see 80.

      Well, I told my best and only friend that I liked her and asked if I ever came across her mind, I would make her not regret it. She didn't say no or yes yet. She believes that romance is dead to her, and I understand that due to her knowing her husband for over 20 years. I deleted my dating profile on Facebook and took a screen shot to show her. She is so right for me, and I hope I can be her best decision. I have left her be so she can think about it.

      Thanx!  But I am sure there is more that I don't know than what I do! But now I know about using the "@" function to alert people that you mentioned them. And today I learned how to Quote someone so my comment as a bit more context. Still so much to learn.  No sure how long I should keep replying to multiple people all in the same thread where the topic is just "Hello" I understand there are one or two other subjects in this place (besides me ... saying "hello"). I have tried looking through the forums a tiny bit and just got lost!  lol  (Then again, getting lost is kinda my super-power!)

      This sort of misinformation about our community has been going on for years, this is why it is important for group leaders within our community to speak out on.
