She just casually replied “no, we’re married”.

That's an uplifting experience, it is fun to watch the reactions of people when they put two and two together.

Banner day for me, got gendered half correctly once and then correctly later on. 

 

Was dealing with an unreadable screen at a parking lot pay gate: "You're good, sir! Or ma'am?"

 

And waiting at a counter, "Are you being helped, Miss?" 

 

I could get used to this!

Yay!  I got a thrill from my wife and I being addressed as "ladies" in restaurants the first few dozen times it happened.  Okay, okay, I still get a thrill from it.  Enjoy!

It's such a good feeling when this happens. I don't get misgendered much these days but still it makes my soul happy when I hear people using the correct pronouns and descriptors when talking about me.

Good news! Got a great lab test result on my diabetes just now. It had gone up quite a bit due to many factors: stress, diet, exercise . . . stress. And with a  new plan and new meds, it's back down to (not exactly normal) but it's a great improvement for only three months and means no long-term problems from it. Long-term good news—give me more of that! Sigh.

hugs,

Davie

That's great news!🙂

When I got home last night my partner needed me to go with her to the dispensary. There’s some regulation that you have to have you ID on the counter when working with the associates. This was the first time we ever had them side by side. My partner noticed and commented about how we look pretty similar. The cashier overheard, stopped for a moment and also looked at the pictures. Without hesitation (probably because we have the same last name) he asked if we were sisters. She just casually replied “no, we’re married”. The poor guy looked so confused. 🤣🤣

Good morning everyone,

The second rush on the bird feeders has started. The fog here was so heavy this morning you could barely see the the most distant feeder, and you surely couldn't see across the street. It has lifted now.

The coffee is HOT, black, strong, and has a mixer in it. Eggnog and Tullamore Dew. NO POWER TOOLS TODAY.

 

I hope everyone has the best day they can today.

That's great @RhondaS

 

A funny story. On Thanksgiving Day, my husband and I took our two pups for a walk. We encountered a utility worker who was getting some equipment out of his truck. I said, "happy Thanksgiving." He said, "thank you, and happy Thanksgiving to you, ma'am." I stiffened and cringed reflexively, but replied, "thank you." Then, he pointed to our female husky (who, by the way, is very queenly in appearance) and commented, "he's a beautiful dog." It actually made me feel a lot better that he misgendered me AND our husky, lol. In my mind I decided he must have gender dyslexia, and it amused me.

Bring on the hydraulic power.  Sitting on the backhoe slight finger movements push rocks aside and open trenches.  After a lifetime of building i enjoy what this old transgender woman can still do.

OK, while I didn't use any power tools. I pretty much got the remote start put in the wife's car. I still need to do the door locks and the hood pin.

 

Speaking of air power tools. I got myself a couple of Xmas presents already. I picked up a Warn 10K winch w/synthetic rope. I also picked up a ARB dual air compressor.  All I will need is  an air tank and I can finally use my neglected power tools. Ones I haven't used in 12 or so years.

Hi, 

 

it’s been a very stress filled day. We got to the airport only to discover something went wrong with our tickets.  So we still made it to Atlanta only to get stuck here.  We are finally leaving here at 11pm instead of our expected 3pm. 
 

we won’t get to our hotel until after 1am. At least we don’t have to be out until 11am. Next is boarding the ship at 2pm. Finally we can relax.  
 

Last time my wife and I went out, we got ladies and mame’d all over.  That is nice

Good morning 

 

haven't made any coffee yet.  I’m still half asleep.  Yesterday was a very stressful day.  If it could go wrong, it did.  I had wanted to drive from home to here.  But my son convinced me to use my flight benefits.  Even said we could purchase a deeply discounted ticket so we weren’t on standby.  So I agreed. Big mistake!  Something went wrong right from the start and the ticket purchase was never finalized. We get to the airport and I can’t check in. Finally got on a standby list.  Got to Atlanta where we had to change planes.  That’s where everything blew up.  We did eventually did get to Fort Lauderdale, at 2am.

 

But, today will be better, stress free.  Nothing will go wrong!  (Affirmations)

 

@KymmieL i think you hit the nail square, you (we) often don’t care to put ourselves first.  We need a social life and put that ahead of our own needs.  I know I do that too.  I’d rather keep switching male/female and keep an even keel on the home front than do what’s best for me.

 

see y’all in a week.

      As has been said many times, this is not a black and white issue. Sure.  I get it that a MtF person that has gone through full male puberty and "transitioned" 6 months ago probably has an advantage in some sports.  But these bans affect elementary school kids too. I mean, banning trans women from Darts?  Chess?

      Worry refers to the thoughts, images, emotions, and actions of a negative nature in a repetitive, uncontrollable manner that results from a proactive cognitive risk analysis made to avoid or solve anticipated potential threats and their potential consequences.

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      Thanks.  I will look those up in the document, hopefully tomorrow.   I always look at the source on stuff like this, not what someone, particularly those adversarial, have to say.

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
