Comparison can be deadly. If the 23 year old beauty queen is the standard for women, all others are not real women. If Jocko Willink is the standard for men, all other men are not real men. I read an essay about the mermaid and transgender people. There is a statue of a mermaid in a Danish harbor. She looks wistfully back at the sea, where she cannot go because she is human above, but neither can she walk on the land, because of her lower half. Psychologists have noted a fascination with mermaids by trans kids. TG folk, using the mermaid analogy, can feel like we can neither mountain climb nor explore the depths because of our condition, but there is plenty we CAN do. As humans we can both climb mountains and explore the depths. Not all women give birth. Not all men become fathers. Not all men can pull cable wire all day long, walk iron safely, or heft 600 pounds in a dead lift. That does not mean they are not men. -

Sally, thank you for deciding to post your life experiences. They have certainly struck some chords with me, and have caused me to look again at my life and where I am going. I will not take up your thread with my thoughts, but suffice to say that I was commissioned into the military (RAF) as an aviator in 1963. Fortunately my cross-gender feelings were mild and easily suppressed. It is only in later life that they have come to the fore. I look forward to reading more. Karen -

I tried the superglue and it didn’t stick to the plastic bag. So I am using some chicken cutlet forms until I find a cheap replacement or go more permanently and get top surgery. I just need to get a therapist note for insurance to cover the surgery. I’ll use Tegaderm repair on the ripped on special occasions like my cousins wedding. -

The bridal shower went very well. My wife, mother and I went. We bowled (I sucked at it) and went to a bar afterwards. I was totally accepted by my family and the brides friends. That is what I had been expecting from this side of my family. My one cousin who got married last year told me that she wished I had went as myself instead of listening to my mother telling me to go in boy mode. -

It doesn't just seem that it is, it actually is. aging trans people are left out of nearly 90% of all the help said to be available to transgender people. Here in Texas, there are not many, if any actually created for aging transgender people. Planned Parenthood pretty much has only been active for trans youth, primarily, as of late. I can't even find legal help for discrimination cases that would help by allowing me to show that it is trans care related. By the way, I don't qualify for medicare as I am turning 55 this year. I also can't get Medicaid either. Trans youths are not the only ones needing help. Aging trans need just as much help, BUT, are pushed aside as though we as older transgender people, do not matter. I agree the youth are our future, but until the youth decides to listen to what is being taught to them instead of thinking they know everything, the youth of the nation will be our demise. -

Wednesday CNA was rather agreeable today (unusual for her). She basically just stated, "you really need to read your bible." I answered, "yes thank you, I do!" She wanted to tighten my bra bands and I told her I don't like them too tight. She said, "oh yeah, yours are just fat and not milk ducts so they aren't heavy." That started into a conversation about how a bra works, and that the band/gore support the majority of the weight. The bands just helps keep things aligned. Also, my mammograms say, "scattered fibroglandular tissue" just like a third of women out there. They most definitely have milk glands. -

I have to wonder if interstate commerce laws might be violated here. Hugs, Charlize -

This tread is based on the titling of a bill. That is what the judges ruling spoke to. Please keep on topic. If one wishes to write about rest room funding one can start a topic. Pity the title did not also mention restricting the rights of the parents who support their children. Perhaps that is only important if a child tries to speak to a teacher about gender issues. Then, suddenly, parental rights become important. Hugs, Charlize -

WEARINESS When stress from adverse or challenging events in life occur continually, you can find yourself in a state of feeling emotionally worn out and drained. This is called emotional exhaustion. For most people, emotional exhaustion tends to build up slowly over time. -
