That is fantastic!  She just bought her way a bit further up the scale in my opinion.

I tried very hard to give Caitlyn the benefit of the doubt but she never made it easy. I never really thought she had any animosity  for the trans community but my problem is her lack of understanding of the people/community because of her never doing the proper research and the whole male/white/rich privilege she benefited from most of her life. And her show being canceled because she wasn't learning fast enough. 

I am glad that this has occurred and hope it continues......

Interesting...  I'm just not sure what to make of KJ.  Anything that involves her makes me think, "what's her angle?"  I'll hope that they both do some good and what they actually purport to do.

I cannot deny Caitlyn a place at the Trans* family's Thanksgiving dinner table.  She is one of the tribe. After a length of time, as with all families there is the one relative whom you would like to simply take the bowl of mashed potatoes and shove it in their face, potato side first, to me she is that one!!  Being Trans* is joining a new, pretty nice. family, and CJ is not our only problem child.

I'm also the one that most people want to mash into a bowl. LOL

Ooooo that's violent and I just CAN'T waste good mashed tatoes like that...especially if they have sour cream and chives blended in.  Darn it Vicky, now I'm hungry. 

Seriously, I hear ya on KJ.  For me she's the relative where she & I would sit at opposite ends of the table and avoid each other while we slide our peas around on our plate.  I don't dislike her, just don't trust her.

      Do you have a motto or mantra?

      Tension is not a well-understood psychological state. It can be both positive and negative, much like stress itself. A 2015 research paper on the theoretical framework of tension notes it's an anticipatory emotional state which tends to be associated with: conflict.

      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.

      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.
