Oh no Heatherd, I hope you are pressing charges. You may require additional therapy for the mental pressure an attack like this can cause. 
 

Best wishes and hugs,

OMG! @heatherdI;m glad you're okay. No one deserves what you went through. You're very brave to prosecute them.

I meet up with the prosecutor on Friday.Found out he is going to charge him with a hate crime too once he gets the evidence.The sexual assault charge is not enough and I agree with him 100%

As to the feeling, one of the instructors on my first free-fall (HALO) jump said that it's the best feeling you can get with yourpants on.

For men, maybe.  As a general rule, I've never found the "fun without pants on" to be anything special or memorable.  I'd never describe any of my skydiving habit in that way.  Every time someone makes me think about skydiving I want to get back into it, so many wonderful memories.
I also did CRW (Canopy Relative Work), where people join up canopies and sometimes land in formation.  It's something very few skydivers do - too scary/risky for most of them.

Likewise about how "fun without pants." For me, it was always the sense of awe that I got when the canopy opened and I was floating above, looking down at God's creation and just how beautiful it is. I have also done limited CRW. I must confess that I did not particularly enjoy it--for the reasons you mention. I have done HALO and HAHO jumping and loved them both.

Good for you and good for the prosecutor. You're right about the sexual assault charge not being enough. Stay strong.

It was good although the cops were called out.I work at a gym as a personal trainer,a guy sexually assaulted me.Luckily a couple people that witnessed it got him away from getting worse.Found they are cops that were off duty.A little shaken up.Both were working out.I hope this gets treated as a hate crime too.

 

So it's not just me. Lovely to meet another trainer.

 

I've heard of this happening. Hasn't happened to me fortunately, but I'm sorry you had to deal with it. Worst we've had at work was a fight on the basketball court over who had the most testosterone or something.

 

Big hugs!

That's good, and taking a few days off to wrap your head around what you went through is a good idea.

@Willow and @KymmieL those are good.

 

As for threading a sewing machine while it's running...

All I have to do is skip my Premidone for two days.

Hi, all my health testing is done for this year.

 

I had my first mammogram, that was interesting.  The tech was very nice handled things with care.  She said I would be able to see the scans in a week or so.  Holidays and all.

 

Same tech also did my bone scan.  She didn’t say why but she added an extra scan.  Then offered the same timing “unless the doctor called me sooner”.  She didn’t explain and I figured she would have said more if there was a concern but I have to admit I thought it odd.  
 

I guess I’ll know soon enough.

Good Friday Morning 

 

it has become windy with occasional clouds.  The temperature has not started dropping but it will.  Single digit windchill possible.  So I guess next months electric bill will be high.  
 

@heatherd that’s great about your niece.  My granddaughters are similarly accepting.  I just received a birthday present (a piano learning book) addressed in big bold letters to Willow.  I was very appreciative of that.  
 

I plan on baking today.  A loaf of bread and some cookies.

 

at my appointments yesterday my wife was referred to as my significant other.  I didn’t bother to correct that, where as I did tell people starting with the registration person my preferred name.  Since they have to deal in legal names I knew I would get dead named, even though it’s all over my medical records, preferred name is.  I’ve learned to just let it go as much as possible.  It is my choice not to change it so I need to accept the consequences.

 

Stay warm and go easy on the snow shoveling.  I don’t want to read about any slip and falls or worse.

 

Hugs

Well, we're officially having a white Christmas this year.  That happens maybe once every 10 years in my part of the South.  The snow isn't deep, but it was SO COLD.  The kids went out to play in it, and came back after 5 minutes.  We all have to spend more time taking care of the animals and bringing them warm water.  One silly cat had newborn kittens in October.  Normally they'd stay in the barn because they're half feral, but this weekend we have a big cage with some very messy, very noisy, very un-housebroken cats indoors.  

 

Our thermometer recorded -10 F last night.  We had -15 a couple of years ago, but that was in January.  Usually December is warm, and we still had roses blooming one Christmas a few years back.  And diesel engines... almost impossible to keep them warm.  My husband has a Humvee on semi-permanent loan from the county.  It has been idling all night.  Hate to waste the fuel, but better than not being able to start it if/when needed.

No snow here, but temperature is dropping.  Calling for 8º tonight.

Snow is rare here too, but does happen.

Good morning everyone, :coffee:

 

Today's ( @KymmieLfence-🥶-meter) in Westfield, IN reads -8°F 30mph winds, and -37°F windchill.

Blowing snow, stings any exposed skin. The bird feeders are very active, and birds of unlike feathers are flocking together. Even the Jeeps in the area are upset with the weather.

May be an image of outdoors and text that says 'When your Jeep is just as upset as you are about the weather'

      There are trans folk who pass better than some cis people.  People usually aren't on the lookout for those who are cross dressed.  As long as there are no multiple screaming signals and you don't draw attention to yourself you can probably pass better than you think. For example, if you walk into a bank in heels, however, and you DON'T know how to walk in heels, you will attract the attention of a security guard, especially if you are acting nervous. If you wear flats and just go to the bank and do your business like anyone else, it is likely no one will notice, except that there was a customer who was taller than most women are, but then there are tall women, and tall, broad shouldered woman.  I made the mistake years ago of thinking I had outed such, and knew she was a he.  Later I learned she had five kids, and her husband was bigger than she was.  Ooops.

      I don't know much about CNAs.  They report to an RN, right?  Can you somehow bring this up to the RN in a way that does not get your CNA mad at you? I'm not saying you should, but maybe that is a good course of action.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      This is the thing.  A month ago tomorrow is when I stopped wearing m clothing.  Today I feel great.  I do not have dysphoria when I am dressed as and I move as a woman.  I was just thinking about that because I was wondering if I would or will get hit with a wave of "you don't have dysphoria so you might as well dress like a guy. Less hassle with your wife."  Not that she is aware, to my knowledge, that these androgynous clothes are women's.  No desire to "flip", no feeling of need to, just happy identifying as female.  Speaking, in my deep guy voice, with female voice patterns, doing the feminine gestures that come naturally and without exaggeration and at peace.

      Yes, my brother was born lactating due to absorbing hormones from my mum.    Of course she isn't a nurse, she is a CNA. She should however still have general medical knowledge.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I agree.  But sometimes unethical conduct must still be legal, because the cure would be worse than the disease.  One problem we have today with the internet is the trolls can gang up on someone and destroy them - we see the with school bullying as well.   He was in the Southern Baptist Convention, and maybe he should have moved his church over to say the American Baptists, who might have been able to help him. A Southern Baptist pastor is king in his church, peerless, which means he could not have gone for help in his church.  And he could not have gone for help from any other pastor in the SBC because they likely affirm the SBC statements on these matters.  I think he was stuck.    I read this when it came out in the news.  Very sad situation.

      One organization that I know of that is dedicated to assisting LGBT seniors is SAGE.  They advocate for, and have services for, all LGBT folks, not just trans folk.  You can find their website Here.  I am not sure what, if anything, they have in terms of financial assistance.  I'll let you know if I find anything else.   Carolyn Marie

      This was an angle that I was very suspicious of as well, and may be the hook on which the settlement was hung.      Not at all strange especially if they had former patients who moved there that still owed money on their bills or they were buying hospital supplies from a Texas corporation. They may have business licenses in other states as well.  Small loss, but saxeT shot itself in the foot there since the license was a source of income to the state. 
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Nah it's fine, I'm past the point of really blaming them most of the time. I've gotten used to it, and they could be a whole lot worse.   I'm glad you have a good place, though <3

      I wonder about the professional knowledge level here.  Men have milk ducts.  She, as a nurse, should know this.  This is interesting  https://www.livescience.com/45732-can-men-lactate.html  Yes, men can lactate and have lactated, trans or cis.  The idea that Birdie does not have milk ducts or tissue is just plain wrong.  Her statement indicates that she has not looked at the medical record, which she should be familiar with to treat the patient. 
    • Ivy
      Trans women can lactate under the right conditions. But that's not even the case in your situation.  It's so stupid how they simply refuse to accept your reality.

      I used to include going ti worship but no longer    awkward good fir you. enjoy. :)   raine  sorry. my family is pretty lousy at support too. my part time job helps alot. hope it gets better fir you n all
    • Ashley0616
      It takes a lot to make me that way. Then it depends on which side comes out. I could simply walk away or be very confrontational. I'm used to being made fun of and criticized. I don't take to kindly if someone talks about my kids or family though. 
    • missyjo
      aren't folks odd ..just dress differently..like pick to be a boy for today instead of the girl you're screaming you are really..so that I can be more comfortable...needs   I'm sorry   I have family wedding this summer too..I've said for 2 years I'm not going n I've skipped holidays for that period..now I'm being told I'd best be there in boy mode...yeah right..laughs   sorry. I'm planning on once again skipping the event. until you'll let me attend as myself, I guess you dint really miss me that much .so I find something else to do n just accept the number of folks who unconditionally love me is a lot smaller than claimed.  oh well.   good luck sweetie
