Yeah, but she shouldn't have to go back.

I have a few more sessions to go before it's complete. This was only my 2nd full clearing that's needed for surgery.

I see Dagmara Klos. I highly recommend her. Very professional and caring.

My HS class has only had 2 reunions that I know of - 15 & 40. I went to the 40th, and a woman walked up to me at one point and told me that I was one of only a few guys who had aged gracefully. Surprised me, since I couldn't recall her ever having been in any of my classes. Would be interesting to hear what she might say this year.

High school reunions are very interesting and I enjoy them.

Only a few guys had a hard time understanding but the women were totally accepting  If they talked ill of me behind my back I don't know.

Last summer several of the ladies had a luncheon get together at a local upscale country club and they invited me.

I had a great time and yes there were lots of questions but all in all I had a great time.

Met one of them at a cars and coffee car show and her husband didn't seem to recall me from school.

That was fine with me because I never liked the guy LOL.

I've never been to one.

I went to the same (small) school 7th - 11th grades.   Then we moved out of state and my senior year was in a new (much larger) school.  With that, and being from a different region of the country, I never really fit in.  I don't think I even know anyone from my graduating class.

Happy Sunday Morning 

 

Happy Mother’s Day!

 

got cold (60s) and windy so plan for another beach day today may not happen. 
 

otherwise, coffee was good and gone.

 

@Jandi I have one clue that my mother and sister might have known.  The spring before she died, I went to see her.  Rode my motorcycle.  Anyway, that’s just a side note.  During one conversation she asked me if I was happy.  I answered yes.  She continues mom and I talked that we didn’t think you were happy.  She didn’t continue that conversation and I didn’t bring it up.  That was a time when I was having undiagnosed depression and had been for a number of years so it could have been that or the might have found things when I was a teen still living at home.  I’ll never know for sure.  Even though I knew I felt ashamed at times and depressed because of it I also didn’t know I was transgender.

 

Just a side note, back when I was in high school in the 60s there was no way anyone knew of LGBTQI and in small town Ohio would not have gone well for them.  My oldest friend waited a long time after leaving Fremont before coming out as gay even though the signs were there in the 60s.

 

@Heather Nicole Toledo was my old stomping ground.  Graduated from the University of Toledo.

 

@Bri2020 congratulations on passing your boards so quickly. 
 

well, I need to take the dog for a walk   I can’t just let her go by herself anymore.  There is another dog who has moved in just last night and since it’s a pit bull I need to not let them meet uncontrolled.

 

hugs

The town our middle son lives in has street drags yearly on their main street. I found out yesterday, it is the same day. I made the mistake of telling my wife. So, last night we are in the kitchen I am looking to fix our coffee and she is grinding extra. She turns to me with her disgusted look she has and asks me, "have you ever heard of family first?"

I reply, yeah. She begins telling me about how she doesn't care about doing anything other that visiting our grandkids. That our plan to take our oldest grandson to cars and coffee for his 7th birthday. In grampy and grammys wagon, doesn't mean anything. 

 

That with my middle sons, middle son being a 2 yr old car nut. wouldn't it be better if I went and took him to the street drags. That because since I couldn't get a room during a car show local to them. I am not planning on going. I am a horrible grandfather. She had me almost crying.

 

 

@KymmieLI am so sorry. No one should be treated as you were. I swear sister, your wife seems to be particularly cruel toward you sometimes. I don't understand why people lash out like that. Especially toward someone they supposedly love. Reducing another person to tears is just plain mean. No other word for it.

 

Consider yourself hugged virtually.

Mother’s Day 2014 we learned that our 6 year old Granddaughter, Daphne, had cancer.  It was supposed to be a curable type of brain tumor.  17 months later she was gone.  She was a fighter and to the end always could find a smile.

 

Remember, you don’t always realize what you have until you don’t have it anymore.

Pomeranians are sure cute little rascals! It was good of you to get her a new companion. @HollyNG, you are a kind and thoughtful daughter.

Good morning everyone 

 

I really need the Major’s fine elixir this morning.  I can’t seem to wake up.  Interesting Mother’s Day.  I was dressed and outside before my wife.  I got wished happy Mother’s Day twice.  Every time I get a comment reserved for women it is so reassuring.

 

our daughter always works on Mother’s Day as a distraction and doesn’t celebrate the the day.  Surprise, she wished her mother happy Mother’s Day!  Can’t remember when she last did that.

 

Got rather cold and windy last night.  It’s not supposed to be like this in May here.  We have a potential tropical depression sitting off shore pulling cold air south.  Guess it’s that time of year again.

 

forgive me if I fall asleep 

 

hugs

Good morning everyone,:coffee:

 

The coffee is better than normal this morning because it was brewed in my own coffee maker.

Being away on a road trip teaching at the DE State Fire School Hazardous Materials Conference.

There was so much to catch up on this morning, and I'm sure I missed some details.

 

Hugs for you all,

I'm with you on getting comments reserved for women. It is both reassuring and affirming.

Not a good start to the week so far. Woke up this morning to a GERD flair up, So much fun, and had to call in. Now I’m sitting at Childrens ER with my oldest because of a rash that we can’t figure out.

We had a guy here to look at the furnace.  We were getting an oil smell every time it ran.  Nice guy, seemed competent, and he put a temporary fix on what he thinks is the problem.  But we need a minimum of $7000 worth of work to (a) do a proper fix and (b) bring it up to code.  And that still leaves us with a furnace nearing the end of its life.  It will cost about $12000 - $15000 to replace the whole works.

 

It sucks, but, considering that we want to sell the house next year (might have to postpone that a year, now), it's got to be done.  We won't get the money back in increased selling price, but we will be able to put "all new mechanical systems" on the listing.

 

When I called to book the appointment, I didn't get misgendered on the phone.  They didn't even ask me to spell my name, the face-saving technique of someone who was expecting a male name and thought she heard "Kathy".  She just asked if it was with a C or a K.  Nice!

Good evening

 

@JustineM GERD can bring on some serious consequences.  It is believed that my GERD was caused by medications that shouldn’t have been prescribed together.  The GERD caused my laryngeal cancer.  So, I know that’s not something that happens to everyone but just keep an eye on it.

 

@Marcie Jensen thanks.   Can’t think of anything that makes us feel better than getting noticed or recognized as a woman instead of a man dressed as a woman. When my wife and I go to a restaurant we get “ladies” and one check or two.  I love it.

Mother's day went well at my house.

I was surprised to get a text from my 29 yr old grandson saying "happy mother's day". My wife didn't get it, but my grandson obviously does. Father's day will be awkward. I can totally do without that holiday.

      I use my  chosen name online and when ever I can. I play some online game and only go by that name. That is how everyone there know me. Yes it does feel great to be called the name you prefer. 
    • Breezy Victor
      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret.

      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.

      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      People who have no understanding of transgender conditions should not be making policy for people dealing with it. Since it is such a small percentage of the population, and each individual is unique, and their circumstances are also unique, each situation needs to be worked with individually to see that the best possible solution is implemented for those involved. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      No.  You are getting stuck on one statement and pulling it out of context.   Trans kids have rights, but so do non-trans kids.  That conflict is best worked out in the individual situation. 
    • MaeBe
      I get the concept, I believe. You're trying to state that trans kids need to or should be excluded from binary gender spaces and that you acknowledge that answers to accommodate those kids may not be found through policy. I disagree with the capability of "penetration" as being the operative delimiter in the statement, however. I contest this statement is poorly chosen at best and smacks of prejudice at worst. That it perpetuates certain stereotypes, whether that was the intent or not.   Frankly, all kids should have the right to privacy in locker rooms, regardless of gender, sexuality, or anatomy. They should also have access to exercise and activities that other kids do and allow them to socialize in those activities. The more kids are othered, extracted, or barred from the typical school day the more isolated and stigmatized they become. That's not healthy for anyone, the excluded for obvious reasons and the included for others--namely they get to be the "haves" and all that entails.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Context.  Read the context.  Good grief.
    • MaeBe
      Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post.   There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators.   I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut.

      "I feel like I lost my husband," Lois told the therapist,"I want the man I married." Dr. Smith looked at Odie, sitting there in his men's clothing, looking awkward and embarrassed. "You have him.  This is just a part of him you did not know about. Or did not face." She turned to Odie,"Did you tear my wedding dress on our wedding night?" He admitted it.  She had a whole catalog of did-you and how-could you.  Dr. Smith encouraged her to let it all out. Thirty years of marriage.  Strange makeup in the bathroom.  The kids finding women's laundry in the laundry room. There was reconciliation. "What do we do now?" Dr. Smith said they had to work that out.  Odie began wearing women's clothing when not at work.  They visited a cross-dressers' social club but it did not appeal to them.  The bed was off limits to cross dressing.  She had limits and he could respect her limits.  Visits to relatives would be with him in men's clothing.    "You have nail polish residue," a co-worker pointed out.  Sure enough, the bottom of his left pinky nail was bright pink  His boss asked him to go home and fix it.  He did.   People were talking, he was sure, because he doubted he was anywhere as thorough as he wanted to be.  It was like something in him wanted to tell everyone what he was doing, and he was sloppy.   His boss dropped off some needed paperwork on a Saturday unexpectedly and found Odie dressed in a house dress and wig.  "What?" the boss said, shook his head, and left.  None of his business.   "People are talking," Lois said. "They are asking about this," she pointed to his denim skirt. "This seems to go past or deeper than cross dressing."   "Yes.  I guess we need some counseling."  And they went.

      Mine would be SHEIN as much as I have bought from them lol.
    • MaeBe
      This is the persistence in thinking of trans girls as predators and, as if, they are the only kind of predation that happens in locker rooms. This is strikingly close to the dangerous myth that anatomy corresponds with sexuality and equates to gender.
