Prop 8 groups are behind repeal efforts in CA

Yes, I've been sitting here wondering how I can strip society of gender norms. :unsure: I'm still looking for some co-conspirators to advance our agenda. Let me know if you're available.

I honestly can't wait to face off with a signature gatherer at the grocery store. Although it won't be nearly as much fun if they are being paid for it.

Wait, you're going to go public about our massive secret conspiracy to destroy all gender norms so we can get a peep at women sitting on toilets? It's not like us men have much to sacrifice here...all we have to do is take hormones, grow boobs and go impotent (or have our appendages removed). That's definitely worth it to get that bathroom peep show :)

Shhhh.....they're onto us! Shut up!

I knew about the Prop 8 crowd and the rationale about the time this started. Its about time this came out to the general public.

What needs more publicity is that they did not lose on the SCOTUS decision, they had lost long before, and more importantly on the facts presented to the trial court. A point that is disappearing into the wood work. They had not been able to present believeable facts to sustain their position that gay marriage was harmful to society and therefor necessary to be outlawed. Their worst problem was that not only could they NOT produce facts that gay marriage was harmful, but they could not and did not present evidence that heterosexual marriage was all that great a deal. The relied on "experts" who presented documentary evidence, but who would not appear in court to be cross examined on their findings because "they feared for their physical safety". Thus their own side was too pusilanimous to stand up in public. Makes you wonder about the facts themselves.

With any luck people will see they cannot deliver, and will begin to ignor them. It might be fun to tell the signature solicitors that I am trans, sure I will sign it!! With my prior legal name who can no longer vote. (I won't though since it is technically perjury. Just a ridiculous evil idea.)

They will use hate, fear, money, and will stop at nothing to force a compliance with sex, for these allowances for differences threatnens the very core of their patriarchal belief systems when I read that statement "they want to strip society of gender norms". The tide is finally turning, birth sex means less and less in the society of the 21st century, and certainly with somone's gender expression, we know that, many government policies already reflect that. CA is a benchmark state for the rest of country in many ways, we watch from up north....

      I know it's frustrating to hear, but you have to be patient. 5 weeks is nothing. It can take years to grow facial hair. Even then, you may be unlucky and not get much. Everyone's body reacts differently to T. You just have to be patient and let T do it's thing.

      I've been on T for 6yrs now, my levels are good. But I still don't pass very well, I look very feminine. I have top surgery already.   I can't tell if it's bad luck/genetics or if there is some reason why T might not "work" on me. The only thing it has done well is lower my voice. Everything else, not so much. I have a bit more muscle, and a tiny bit of chin scruff. That's it.   Is there any medical reason why T might not have much of an effect? I asked my PA and they didn't know.

      Thank you for the welcome. :)   As an adult I don't actually get much (if any) hate directed at me. As a kid/teen I got discriminated against and ostracized. And online is crazy with hatred. But in real life I just keep to myself and that tends to make others not bother you. I think I get a double take from someone every so often, but I don't get stared at or anything. I do get called ma'am sometimes which sucks and is embarrassing.    I like the positive self-talk, saying that you are trans, you shouldn't have the same "expectations" as if you were cis. Some trans people are lucky, some of us are not. I'm not. The only thing I got lucky with is my voice. Everything else, nope.   I will try and remind myself that I'm just trying to live my life, I didn't choose to be born this way, I don't need to be embarrassed of myself in every situation.

      A wonderful proclamation that is going to have fur and feathers flying in many locations.  It actually saddens me that we are such a divisive wedge in peoples political leanings and this proclamation will drive that wedge deeper until we can heal those divisions.

      All of this is very validating for me to read, as the issues you have faced are all too familiar to me. The compartmentalization of friends, the double life, the not being considered “trans enough” by the trans community…all have been my experience too. I think that’s amazing you did a workshop on part-time trans living…I would have loved to have attended that!    It does hurt when people, especially full-time trans individuals, and even medical professionals, look down on part-time transgender presentation as not being legitimate. I don’t like being lumped into the cross dresser community even if being bigender more resembles cross dressing, not because I have anything against crossdressers personally, but because for me, I don’t relate to a lot of what I’ve seen in the cross dresser community. If I had felt adequately supported in being able to transition full-time 25 years ago, I likely would have. And even if I had, you still would have never caught me wearing heels and rarely would I wear a dress.   For me, how I live is a compromise and an adaptation of having a feminine spirit in a body with male anatomy and not wanting to take surgical risks, plus not wanting to deny my past history of living male-ish and not feeling comfortable presenting particularly androgynously either. I suppose it is possible that at some point I may change my mind and actually transition…apparently that does happen a lot. Maybe I’m unusually stubborn to have stayed part-time this long. Ultimately for any of us who are not cisgender, any presentation is some kind of compromise and there is always going to be someone who doesn’t “approve.”   Ultimately so many factors go into how ANYONE presents themselves publicly, from their past experiences and their comfort level wearing particular clothes and hair styles, I really think no one is in a position to condemn others. It’s just another version of the same old story of people not accepting others with characteristics different than their own.
