Trans Conservatives Say Trump "Failed" Equality Test

There is some truth to the belief that Trans* folk are delusional, just not about our Genders.  Sigh!!

Well, I'm  post-op mtf, a conservative Republican, and I voted for President Trump.  Thus far, I'm okay with President Trump, and as far as I'm concerned, President Trump hasn't failed my equality test.  Of Course, in principle, I'm not really well-disposed to special-protections to any population, other than the physically/mentally disabled.

I couldn't agree more w/ re: to the afore-quoted post.  Although I suspect that we're not talking about the exact same folks here.:angel:

I wish I could say that I found trumps action surprising, but I didn't.?

Cyndi i agree completely.  Finding a group or several groups to blame creates power for some and pain for the minority. 

This tactic has been used for centuries.  Trump is just the newest to utilize hate.

Cognitive dissonance?

I had some discussions with my conservative trans friends (i'm somewhere around a middle line libertarian) and they were all absolutely convinced Trump would be a stand up guy and help the LGBTQ. I thought that was an unrealistic expectation especially when they started to introduce that hate-squad of his, but I believe the technical term hate-cabinet??

What can we do other than sit back and continue watching and hoping.........

I knew when I came out that I was sentencing myself to a life living as one of the most hated minorities in this nation. But my examples were my ethnic wife, my poor friends, and my LGBTQ+ friends. I figured that if they could endure the things I'd seen them go through, I could endure things as well.

Maybe I'm wrong. But I can't stop thinking that if all us who are being put down were to rise up and say "NO MORE!!" we wouldn't have this kind of ignorance, hatred, racism, bigotry, and misogyny.

I am very much a libertarian and I have no problem with most Republicans. I understand  where they are coming from, I also understand where democrats are coming from and have no problems with most of them. The thing is I don't agree 100% with libertarians either. There are some things and times the government needs to intervene. As to Trump, I'm wondering by the end of June how much of his original cabinet will still be around.....

Sigh, I had A Trump dream last night, dreaming that his own party threw him out. 

I fished for my iPad and typed in Trump News.

Sigh....just more of the same.

in short "I don't want what he has."

My apologies, I don't know where anyone that thought this was going to be ok, is coming from. 

The second he picked a VP, it seemed to be a huge strike against the LGBTQ. And this just continued with his cabinet picks. 

*sigh* didn't I pick a wonderful time to come out.

      Hello @The Lake, Welcome to our forum. I’m intrigued by your introduction and would enjoy reading more about your backstory. We all have very unique journeys and yours is not one I have come across often. As you become more comfortable with our community, maybe you could share more aout how your gender identity evolved, what difficulties you confronted and endured and what some of your successes were along the way. Also, do you see yourself involved in a future transition of roles, presentation, social, physical, or something else entirely? There is never any pressure to share a thing here. So feel free to share as little or as much as you like. We are a very open-minded nonjudgmental group who enjoy learning new things from our members.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Welcome @gizgizgizzie, It’s nice to have you in the fold. We are a very diverse group so you’ll fit in just fine. Right now, society at large is getting bombarded with misinformation, bait and switch tactics, propaganda and lies so it’s no wonder no one can get it right. I don’t come out and explain things about my gender identity as much these days but when I do it’s amazing how little these people know about our transgender community in 2024.   Thanks for sharing a little about yourself. I hope to learn more about you as you become more acclimated and active within our forum.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      Speaking of hair days…for me, hair has always been the part of my presentation that had the most impact on my overall view of myself. It was much worse for me earlier in my transition. I enjoy experimenting with new hair styles so once in a while, I’ll end up completely redoing my hair because it somehow reminded me of my old self. Self image is a strange yet powerful thing and it take a lot of time and effort to change it.

      I am working on a solo music project and I decided a few years ago I wanted to do female lead vocals. I’ve played instrumental music most of my life and sung as a male, mostly backup and harmony though, but very little lead. I never liked my male voice. People always clocked me as female on the phone so I’ve always had a more feminine voice. A little over two years ago I started training my female voice to sing and it has been a lot of fun, though I’m still not where I want to be. Consistency is my biggest challenge.    I try to make practice fun or I don’t stick with it. So I do a lot of singing along with my favorite cover songs…I use a vocal fader, and practice with a microphone, and often just record the blend with my phone to evaluate where I’m at and see what I need to work on. If possible I find karaoke mixes on YouTube where the lead vocal is removed and sing along to that.   I’m not sure I can offer much advice, I just do a lot of listening back and adjusting my technique and practicing until I like how I sound. Just a lot of practice. It will probably take longer than you hope to get where you want to be :) High notes will be challenging but every singer has to build up the muscles and technique and breath support and stretch the vocal chords and then their range will expand. My higher notes are in tune, but often sound strained, probably because they are. Some of that is tensing up in anticipation which I need to train myself out of doing.    I think “trans voice lessons” on YouTube is one of the best channels for tips and theory. Once you’ve found your singing voice and have that relatively consistent, pretty much it’s just working on technique, styling, articulation, range, like any singer would.

      I sometimes look too critically when I look in mirrors. If I’m presenting as male, I think I look too feminine. If I am presenting female then I think I look too masculine. It’s very irritating! Sometimes I think I get it down right. I guess everybody has their good and bad hair days and such, though.

      https://www.hrc.org/news/reyna-hernandez-latina-trans-woman-salon-owner-and-vibrant-spirit-killed-in-washington-state   This case is unusual, in that the victim was murdered in the U.S. and her body driven all the way to Mexico, presumably to hide evidence and confuse the authorities.    May Reyna rest in peace, and her vicious killer convicted and sentenced to a very long term behind bars.   Carolyn Marie

      I cooked a breaded bone-in pork chop (seared in iron skillet then into the oven) an artichoke (w/mayo) and a frozen mac n' cheese that claimed it was "The Best Mac n' Cheese" ... and it was actually pretty good.

      Trump is accused of 26 separate sexual abuse crimes. What a guy.
