Personally I think the higher power i know has never left so coming back isn't really an issue. The God i know wasn't on vacation and is always with us. I may have drifted away from that knowledge but it was my drift only. We each have our own feelings on this issue but that is mine.

Hugs,

They're already doing stem cell research, and making plenty of fantastic advancements. The problem isn't that it isn't happening, it just isn't happening on large scale due to lack of funding because of religious interference.

People have been saying that for almost 200 years if you are talking about Christ rather than God and I'm with Charlie on the God part.

It also says very clearly that no one knows or can foretell when. My advise is t live your life as if it will last forever and as if today is your last day. That by the way is not really contradictory.

myself I believe in living a God centered life but prefer the word Creator because so many denominations and groups have tried to put boxes around the very word God that it somehow seems inaccurate anymore but I don't consider myself religious - I consider myself spiritual. The Pharisees were religious. But not spiritual.

"Love Ye one Another" was the heart of Jesus ministry. He taught tolerance - it was those who were narrowly religious who came after who began to teach intolerance. At least that is my understanding from studying the bible and biblical history. But each of us must find his or her path.

Besides if Christ is returning soon all your angst about being trans and your equipment is meaningless anyway. Personally I am going to prepare for the best future I can and live my life as fully as I can today because for every one of us young and old each day could be our last.

I'm not so much hoping for the stem cell thing as the 3D printer that even now is being used experimentally to print using living cells cloned from the recipient into shapes scanned in using 3d imaging. They can't yet produce a working organ but are actually closing in on it rapidly.

Well God told me for everyone to chill out and enjoy some stem cell research, cause he didn't wanna come back just yet. He said that it was a bummer just thinking about it right now.

I agree.

to be honest, I find it a little ironic that we are supposedly Playing god' with stem cell research, yet hormone therapy, or even medicine in general, oh well that's ok.

I don't know why people are so worried about using the stem cells from a used placenta or a few hundred cell fertilized egg, which would never have grown into a human anyway.

Have read the bible, but I have my own beliefs or not beliefs, they just don't agree with what you believe.

Again *shrugs*. I think Stem cell research is in our near future.

I wouldn't speak in absolutes either, it can be considered disrespectful to others when concerning belief.

Well its true though, None of us have much longer believ it or not

Oh, Jay, you are such an incurable optimist. :)

Anyway, if we have such a short time, you won't need to worry about dating and girls and marriage and sex, right?

What else is true is that peanutbutter is delicious and no one likes seafood.

Or would that just be true for me?

You should respect other's beliefs, there is really no if and or but about that. Just asking to make enemies if you don't.

This is truly an odd thread...st john wrote revelations on the island of patmos. He did this while he was starving. He was suffering from dementia and delusion. Just saying.

Revelations is a crazy book that no one should read exceot to get a good laugh.

Insert I beleive in god and jesus.

No Its not I meant watch how you talk about God, Saying certain sciptures or books in the bible is stupid is blasphemy, Which you cannot b forgiven for

I can guarantee you I have read more of the bible than you have. I used to teach it to others. I happen to find it unconvincing. Almost every sign mentioned in the bible such as increasing wars, famine, disease, increasing knowledge, could have easily been predicted if one assumed an increasing population, which would have been a logical assumption. Concluding that we now have more earthquakes is presumptuous, since the technology to find and record earthquakes is relatively new. We don't have more, we just know about more of them.

      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.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      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.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress. 
    • Ivy
      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
