Groupings are easy for news material. And in many nations, we live in a society that doesn't read in-depth. There are always a few members of any group that can give it a bad name. Pedophile priests undermined trust in the Catholic Church. NAMBLA taints the reputation of LGBTQ+ folks....although since this thread is about Australia, I'm not sure it is very relevant. Is it ignorance? Perhaps. But I think what is often labeled as ignorance is really just a different interpretation of the same facts, and different weight placed on portions of the evidence. We also live in a time when satire and criticism aren't particularly acceptable or understood by all. https://nypost.com/2023/06/24/drag-marchers-spark-outrage-with-chant-at-nyc-pride-event-were-here-were-queer-and-were-coming-for-your-children/ ^^^ This was meant sort of tongue-in-cheek, but wasn't helpful. Like it or not, to many people this is "confirmation" of beliefs, not humor. And in an era where language is changing and people often get confrontational and angry about minor aspects of language, it seems absurd to believe that there wouldn't be some sort of backlash over trying to label pedophiles as "Minor Attracted Persons." While I don't agree with the idea that "LGBTQ = pedophile" I can understand how folks might think that was the case. -

Hello @FelixThePickleMan! I second this breaking the cycle idea. And the idea of getting some help to do it. I was pushed into a treatment program in high school for marijuana addiction and because I went into it with an open mind, I was able to break the cycle by latching onto some of the literature. It didn't keep me sober for the rest of my life, but helped a ton and was the only time I went through treatment. I found marijuana to be fun and productive when practicing music. At least for a while. I can't imagine my life without the influence of it, but it would have been better to give it up a little sooner. Drinking in the military was terrible for me, but it was good to be off of the marijuana during that time. I didn't start drinking until I was about a year into the military. I was trying really hard to avoid that, but there are a lot of people drinking in the military. Be careful and love yourself! Enjoy the journey too. Smoking is bad for the lungs and will constrict your arteries as you get older. It's best to put some limits on these things! It's hard work, but worth the effort! I found myself avoiding recovery meetings and doing recovery on my own for decades only to find myself going to meetings to enjoy being with others when I was older. LOL! Silly humans.... Hugs, Lydia -

Starting HRT this week (the estradiol patches were out of stock at my pharmacy last week). It's obviously a big first step in my transition and one that has been long delayed by my initially unaccepting wife (who now has dropped her opposition). My biggest initial apprehension is the much talked about emotional roller coaster in the next few months. Something that my endocrinologist also mentioned as a possibility (probability??). How troublesome will it likely be? Will this be me soon: -

I am not going to laugh at this one although I want to. We have had some school districts here in California try the same shenanigan against our state laws. (Same result as in this case, State law supervenes local law. I have an idea though, put skates on the county honcho and make him race against all the women in the organization doing the suing there. I think most of the Cis women would beat the liver out of him, now what is fair? -

https://www.wbtw.com/news/grand-strand/horry-county/lgbtq-community-reacts-to-sc-approval-banning-gender-affirming-care-for-transgender-minors/ If not struck down by the courts this bill will hurt trans kids. And that bit about "don't worry, you can transition when you're an adult?" Don't believe that for a minute; come next session, adult trans health care will be targeted. Carolyn Marie -

https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/judge-strikes-ny-countys-ban-female-transgender-athletes-roller-derby-rcna151806 Pretty common sense, straightforward decision. Someone overstepped their authority - imagine that? Carolyn Marie -

I already tried that. Either too old like 60's and 70's or married. Not many people who would want to date a trans woman in dead red Mississippi. Maybe once things calm down just get a Mustang GT and just give up on it. Both are going to bring joy and pain. At least I could learn and share my love of cars with my kids when they get that old. I wouldn't even know what to do if someone said they wanted me. I would've already been thinking in my mind they are just going to ghost me so what's the point. I just don't know what to do anymore. I tried putting myself out there online and out in person. I haven't tried a bar yet although that's probably a bad idea. Maybe just to experience it again. I haven't been to one since 2013. The only problem I see is I'm not a night owl for sure. I go to bed at 8-830. My expectations were just that I wouldn't get rejected last. I have been able to handle a good bit of it but this one really hurt. I guess that's what happens when you have some hopes and expectations. It's not like I have another friend IRL to talk about this. She is my only one. I wished I didn't put myself out there. -

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.
