Kansas State GOP Votes to Oppose Validating TG Identity

The republican party is making stands based on what they believe their base core wants. They hate (Bill) Clinton and Obama, and believe they couldn't defeat them because they were not rightwing enough. But their core base consists largely of aging voters who do not tend to want change. This is giving their party a lot of trouble recruiting new younger members. On average, the younger republicans don't tend to support the hard line attitude of the aging party leadership.

 

The aging republican party leadership feels their old steadfast views fading in the public eye. They are reacting the way most people do when they see the world they thought they had built slipping away from them by fighting to restore it. It's that last ditch effort invariably made when defeat is knocking at the door.

 

Because of the "old fogey" type image they are giving themselves, they are in serious danger of waning into a minority party, and possible eventual dissolution. As their aging base dies off, if they don't or can't attract new younger members in greater numbers than they currently do, their party will diminish and die. 

 

The nation over all is slowly becoming more progressive, and this spells the death knell for the old guard of the republican party.

 

There is a saying, "All good things must come to an end". In this case, it's more like, "All bad things must come to an end". Things will change. It's just a matter of time.

 

Lots of love,

Timber Wolf?

I remember that character who was rabidly pro Trump.  Yuck.

I found this sentence disturbing:  

He said he was motivated by love to sponsor the resolution because he believes the GOP needs to be willing to stand up for its Christian principles."  I have grown up with the belief that there is a separation between church and state which not only seems to be eroding but also seems to be openly sponsored by one party.  

That being said i also don't find this a very Christian principle.

This is something that is most disturbing to me that the GOP would contravene this "contract" we have had for over 200 years.  No good will come of this.

Lots of good points, Timber. I'll add that Democrats and Independents make up the majority in the U.S. and Republicans are acting out of fear. And unfortunately they have buckets of money to push their agendas. I'm hopeful though. The up and coming generations have clear and bold ideas - look at the student's response to the school shooting in Florida - and they will put the pressure on. All we have to do is survive our remaining time with the Great Orange One :)

"God's design for gender as determined by biological sex and not by self-perception,"

 

I find lines like that to be EXTRAORDINARILY disturbing when in direct relationship with government agendas.  Especially to a non religious person like myself, who though I have no problem with what anyone believes, do not believe in any religions per se.  To me this would be akin to making laws governing other humans lives.....with an acknowledged origin basis in a magical fairyland. That is to say, a self serving moral hierarchy created to subdue anyone who does not follow the same tenets.

 

I would label the overt and unabashed integration of church and state, especially in the midwest/deep south areas as a MAJOR priority needing addressed if this nation is going to move forward to foster a more progressive society.  

 

But on a positive note....thank you League of Women Voters for bankrolling a potentially historic case in Penn. , which if you haven't seen the news, came to fruition yesterday and has led to a completely redrawn map for Penn.  Hopefully it is deemed legal and sets a precedence.....which has the potential to literally turn this country upside down in the best way possible....especially after a few election cycles.

Very hard for me to comment on anything (Canadian) accept the arrogance that someone believes they can speak to Gods Plan and invalidating someone who by there own beliefs is Gods Work.

i have been reading various religious based liturature lately and I get the idea the writers feel that by creating a villian or vilifying a demographic , somehow they will unite the general populous.

Tacky politicians engage in this without shame or conscience.

What's most disturbing is that it is espoused by the party that wants smaller government, i.e less intrusion in personal lives.  I guess only when it suits their agendas.

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.

      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie

      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
