Calling into a talk show

I couldn't stand some of the comments i heard on the radio in my hearing protection headphones. I was cutting down a tree when the show started so when the tree fell i called in.

At least they didn't call me "it". It is hard to debate with folks who have a way of often being much less than accepting. The other calls were all abusive. I'm not used to hearing my own voice. I'm not sure i like it.

Hugs,

Charlize, you did absolutely fantastic with that interview. I am so proud of you. You didn't take any of their guff, you came across as an intelligent, nice, polite, but determined person who knows her own mind and isn't afraid to speak it. I got the feeling that the hosts felt very sympathetic and impressed with you. Their in vitation to come to the station some time seemed sincere, I also disagree with the one who said you sounded male; I think they were expecting some hyper-feminine voice, but yours is well within the normal female range. if I heard you on the phone, I would not think you were male.

Thanks for putting yourself out there, Charlize. And thanks for sharing it.

HUGS

Charlize, I am so proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an awesome discussion you had with those 2 chicken-heads :score::score::score: yes, you won it many times over. I'm glad that you were able to pick up their underbreath slurs and proceed to correl them and then de-bunk anything that they were saying. He has invited you to meet with them. I hope you take them up on their offer.

Great job Kiddo Mr Dennis is misnamed he is a very big RICHARD!!! Please truncate that to the shorter D version.

I think he is just as comfortable being a lower posterior grommet as he is being the far superior man. Refer to first paragraph. I didn't have much use for her either.

I would tell him right up front when he spewed that crap, he can't understand your sexual preference. Dink, you are a prime example why I don't do men or boys like you!

I would tell her it may be nice to engage in a face to face conversation once, but Honey, don't plan on me for tea, makeovers or shopping. The only thing we have in common little girl is gender.

Guess that's why they didn't invite me. Giggle, no change that to LOL!!! hug. JodyAnn

Good for you Charlize, :) this is exactly the kind of dialog (loosely put) that our society needs to have.

Joe 6 pack, might even get it someday.

Very well done, Charlize!

You even got them to the point where they "are starting to like you"

And I don't think you are abby-normal, I think you are exceptional!

I don't like hearing my own voice either Charlize, but funny you should mention that. I was told today by a (assumed) cis female (that I assume has no idea I'm trans) that I have a nice voice . I totally agree with Carolyn in the fact that you didn't sound male at all and If I'm not mistaken, that was the female on the talk show that called you a male - I'm not impressed.

Charlize you did an excellent job. You were calm and collected and know who you are. If they are serious about meeting you I wuld take them up on te offer. It's an educational moment possibly.

I wish they would've refrained from talking over you so much. How incredibly rude.

And no, your voice is fine. You sound quite a bit like my Oma, actually. But maybe I'm biased, I like her voice. :P

      I've been seeing my new treating doctor for quite some time now, whenever I'm advised to make an appointment. When it comes to seeing a new treating doctor, hard part is starting all over again building trust between patient and doctor. On my first day seeing my new treating doctor, before I could say anything else to her, she explained to me I needed to be completely honest with her. I kind of expected that type of patient profiling response from her, since she doesn't specialize in intersex care. Anyway, I sat down in the chair as I explained to my new doctor, I don't have all of my hospital records, certain records from my childhood and teenager years are mysteriously missing regarding a surgery. After my examination was over, she disregarded or showed no interest in searching for my missing medical records, but instead she blamed me for how I take care of my health today.

      Had a customer bring in her Subie for struts. I ordered fronts. later yesterday, the boss called me into the shop. the proceeds to say I ordered the wrong ones, the fronts instead of rears. Then today I got looking I did order the right ones the first time. All the paper work that I have says front even the last work order said fronts. I told the other boss. So, Have I gotten a sorry from the boss. Ha, ha, not yet. I am doubting I will ever get one.   Oh, well. life goes on.   Kymmie

      While I agree with a lot of the campaign personally, I don't think a government-mandated reduction in childbirth is really necessary. As a young person, I hardly know anyone who wants to be a parent in the future. I think a lot of people will either be waiting a while or not having kids at all, meaning that the number of kids being born will probably decrease. Overcrowding's also mostly an urban issue -- plenty of places in rural America have plenty of space for both people and growing food.    Of course, everyone sees things differently, so I won't necessarily say you're wrong. I just think my generation is a lot less inclined to the family mindset than some that came before us.

      To me, it sounds like a solution searching for a problem.  I believe in the Russian perspective, that oil is abiotic and likely under every part of the Earth's surface.  There's plenty.  "Peak oil" and "climate" are excuses for government control.   As for roads, we use asphalt because tar and bitumen are a byproduct of fuel production, not the other way around.  Asphalt is not a great material, really.  It can also be recycled somewhat and used again.  Notice how road crews grind down existing asphalt into powder? Concrete is a better material for roads.  But in areas like where I live, very little of our roads are paved.  Gravel is a luxury, and a lot of roads are mud.  Same in many "developing" nations.  Pavement is better for transport, but its not like we would die without it.  Lack of pavement might actually be a good thing, as people might stay home more and food might be grown locally instead of relying on transportation.  It would stop this wacky idea of growing everything in California.     I believe the big crisis we face is globalism and government control.  Proposing some scheme to control our families? That's just more of the same.  Even if folks managed to get enough votes (or rig enough elections) to get the power to do that, it won't be as VP or president of the USA in its current 50-state form.

      Very cool. I've been clumsily navigating the world of makeup so this may help. Some of the tutorials on YouTube are so advanced, they may as well be speaking Klingon :P

      I've realized that our laptops are using much less plastic than they used to.  They are smaller devices that use less raw materials and are easier to ship and hold up better in shipping than bigger computers with removable parts.  They seem to have gotten rid of the overheating/fan problem for the most part, but there is a performance hit for that.  I use a 10yo desktop computer with a moderate level gaming video card to run 3 monitors.  I'm a producer though and most consumers have no need for that.   I really haven't watched TV since the 80's.  I spend some time researching on the internet and then I spend a lot of time meditating on the objects in my environment and on the streets.  From living on the streets for a year, I've learned that people can say anything and can control you, but the laws of physics and mathematics are outside of that and really even transcend time itself.  After people would not support my music, I built my life as a software engineer based on mathematics and engineering.  I've had a moderately successful career with that and have written code for many different industries.   The problem with stopping oil usage is that if we still need the bitumen to pave our roads and shingle our houses, then what do we do with the gas when we refine it?  There are natural deposits of bitumen, but you know, with so many people out there, demand is huge and we are using this stuff up.  If you grow corn for corn syrup, then what do you do with the cobs?  We've shipped coffee and bananas all over the world.  We took material from those environments.  What do we do now?  How long can it last?

      I think that threats that can be proven should be incarcerated for half the sentence of the one they would commit if carried out.  Lies unfortunately are just words unless as you stated if not under oath. 
    • Ivy
      I think it depends on where and how it's happening. We also need safe places where, the perhaps more easily intimidated, can feel free to express themselves.     And what about threats of violence?  Can this lead to a place where only the violent can have this freedom?  Is it "free speech" to threaten and intimidate opposing views into silence?  I mean maybe, if I can say anything - "if you don't shut up I'll kill you."   Or spreading lies?  (perhaps about an election). Lying is okay, unless you're under oath - for what that's worth.   Censoring books in schools?  That was fine until the bible was included.  (there is some nasty stuff in there) Then, there's what used to be that free speech birdie place.  You can denigrate queer people all you want, but "cis" is a slur, and prohibited?  Free speech as long as I like it? And let's not go into court cases and gag orders. Porn?

      I have noticed when anyone speaks against their though process they don't like it no matter what sided. Republicans are quick to defend Trump when he's not professional and treats his employees like crap. One employee didn't get paid at all and then he had the nerve to say that he would sue the worker. He already has a model as his wife and still goes after other women. Biden gets lost quicker than a 2nd Lieutenant gets lost at land navigation. Not to mention his open border policy which is flooding the country and can't even take care of the American citizens that we have now. I could go on about both sides. I personally don't get mad at anything someone says to me. I know it's not true so I'm over it before it even starts. You have to have thick skin.

      That's really cool, actually, and I don't even wear make-up :o
