I'm so sorry you had to go through that, Hannah. That would be a total nightmare :(

I hope you get the center to realize that they are in the wrong.

I hope the security guards not only have to apologise to you, but also lose their jobs.

still can't believe people can be so rude

I don't know about the law in Scotland but in the US you might have a valid complaint depending on your state. You certainly have a good reason to shop elsewhere. Is common decency so uncommon? Sorry for that difficulty.

Hugs,

Charlie

It sounds like you have the law on your side, Hannah. I think you did right by standing up for yourself and not letting yourself be bullied. Clearly there is a lack of education and training in that place. I am sorry you had to endure that, and end up in the news on top of it, but I wish you all the best. Please keep us informed of how things go. Also, if there is any legal actions being considered by the Centre, you may want to keep a low profile here and even have this thread pulled, so as to avoid having it used against you.

Hannah, I am so so sorry that this happened to you, you deserve far better then that. News like this makes me extremely upset and I hope there is some kind of legal action that you can take against them.

Hugs,

Sarah

Hi Hannah.

Kudos to you on standing up for your rights as a woman. I'm originally from your part of the world, having been born and raised, "Doon the watter" from where you work and always found passing through some areas of Paisley before my transition intimidating at the best of times, never mind how I would find it now. I don't think I would have the courage to transition in Scotland the way I do in America, probably because I grew up there and saw how the ignorant people treat anyone who is different. Not that the U.S.A. is any better with the bigots, just the majority of people I meet over here don't seem to care one way or the other. I wish you every success in your continuing transition and hope the idiot guards get a one way ticket to the Dole Queue. :thumbdown:

I hope you are able to bring litigation and bring national attention to that establishment for their bigotry.

That's pretty jacked up. Don't let them get to you. We have no control over the behavior of others, unfortunately :(

She is eight months into her Real-Life Test (RLT), which is a period of time transgender individuals live full-time in their preferred gender role.

This is to show she can function successfully as a female in society and to give her time to be sure she wants to live as a woman for the rest of her life.

She must complete the RLT before getting various hormone treatments in preparation for sex reassignment surgery.

Did the paper get it wrong on that, or do they make you live as female for a year without hormones over there?

      Good morning!   Finally got my ears pierced, so up even earlier worrying about how I slept on them last night.

      Hello @The Lake, Welcome to our forum. I’m intrigued by your introduction and would enjoy reading more about your backstory. We all have very unique journeys and yours is not one I have come across often. As you become more comfortable with our community, maybe you could share more aout how your gender identity evolved, what difficulties you confronted and endured and what some of your successes were along the way. Also, do you see yourself involved in a future transition of roles, presentation, social, physical, or something else entirely? There is never any pressure to share a thing here. So feel free to share as little or as much as you like. We are a very open-minded nonjudgmental group who enjoy learning new things from our members.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Welcome @gizgizgizzie, It’s nice to have you in the fold. We are a very diverse group so you’ll fit in just fine. Right now, society at large is getting bombarded with misinformation, bait and switch tactics, propaganda and lies so it’s no wonder no one can get it right. I don’t come out and explain things about my gender identity as much these days but when I do it’s amazing how little these people know about our transgender community in 2024.   Thanks for sharing a little about yourself. I hope to learn more about you as you become more acclimated and active within our forum.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Speaking of hair days…for me, hair has always been the part of my presentation that had the most impact on my overall view of myself. It was much worse for me earlier in my transition. I enjoy experimenting with new hair styles so once in a while, I’ll end up completely redoing my hair because it somehow reminded me of my old self. Self image is a strange yet powerful thing and it take a lot of time and effort to change it.

      I am working on a solo music project and I decided a few years ago I wanted to do female lead vocals. I’ve played instrumental music most of my life and sung as a male, mostly backup and harmony though, but very little lead. I never liked my male voice. People always clocked me as female on the phone so I’ve always had a more feminine voice. A little over two years ago I started training my female voice to sing and it has been a lot of fun, though I’m still not where I want to be. Consistency is my biggest challenge.    I try to make practice fun or I don’t stick with it. So I do a lot of singing along with my favorite cover songs…I use a vocal fader, and practice with a microphone, and often just record the blend with my phone to evaluate where I’m at and see what I need to work on. If possible I find karaoke mixes on YouTube where the lead vocal is removed and sing along to that.   I’m not sure I can offer much advice, I just do a lot of listening back and adjusting my technique and practicing until I like how I sound. Just a lot of practice. It will probably take longer than you hope to get where you want to be :) High notes will be challenging but every singer has to build up the muscles and technique and breath support and stretch the vocal chords and then their range will expand. My higher notes are in tune, but often sound strained, probably because they are. Some of that is tensing up in anticipation which I need to train myself out of doing.    I think “trans voice lessons” on YouTube is one of the best channels for tips and theory. Once you’ve found your singing voice and have that relatively consistent, pretty much it’s just working on technique, styling, articulation, range, like any singer would.

      I sometimes look too critically when I look in mirrors. If I’m presenting as male, I think I look too feminine. If I am presenting female then I think I look too masculine. It’s very irritating! Sometimes I think I get it down right. I guess everybody has their good and bad hair days and such, though.

      https://www.hrc.org/news/reyna-hernandez-latina-trans-woman-salon-owner-and-vibrant-spirit-killed-in-washington-state   This case is unusual, in that the victim was murdered in the U.S. and her body driven all the way to Mexico, presumably to hide evidence and confuse the authorities.    May Reyna rest in peace, and her vicious killer convicted and sentenced to a very long term behind bars.   Carolyn Marie

      I cooked a breaded bone-in pork chop (seared in iron skillet then into the oven) an artichoke (w/mayo) and a frozen mac n' cheese that claimed it was "The Best Mac n' Cheese" ... and it was actually pretty good.
