I was offered to tell my story to a group of transgender kids and teens and said yes.Going to be on Saturday.The bond between the transgender teen I took in and I very tight.We have a guardianship hearing next week and I know she will be staying with me.Knows I love her for who she is and deserves a much better loving parent in her life.Her therapist says she is doing a whole lot better now

 

Hopefully the hearing goes well for the two of you.  So much riding on somebody's opinion...  What kind of venue are you speaking at?

Hi all. I thought I would check in with an update. The only thing that has changed in my life is that I just got my zero depth vaginoplasty yesterday at Rush University with Dr Schechter. All went well. Recovering well.

Good morning everyone, 

 

I just started the coffee, and now I’m sitting on the balcony of my hotel, looking South from Daytona Beach, to see if I can watch this morning’s Falcon 9 launch. 🚀 

It’s scheduled to launch around 7:00AM. Once my iPad updates, I’ll also stream it live from YouTube.

Gooooood morning coffee lovers!

 

Who know what day it is? Not you @KymmieL I know you think it’s Friday.

 

Iiiiiiitttttts hump day!  So go kiss a dromedary.  It’s also second payday, senior stretch day, rainy but warmer day,  can’t see the rocket for the clouds day.  And last but not least, it’s a good day to be with friends day.

 

No I did not get into the booze early nor did I overdose on antidepressants.  It’s just a good day to hear from everyone.

 

@heatherd so happy for you.  Transgender teens need so much to have Allie’s and hear success stories.  So many of them get bullied at school and at home.  It’s really sad to hear about the ones who get kicked out or whose parents are too blind to see their needs.

 

Thank you for doing this.

XXX  EEEEEEEEE. Sorry wrong at least this week. Today is Saturday DUH. LOL.

 

This week off Wed-Thurs one of the other asst has a funeral to go to this weekend. At least I work days Fri-Sat.

 

Good thing that I don't work. We are getting snow, I am just going to watch it out the window.

 

Well our trip to Michigan is set for next month. My wife has booked the flight, hotel and car rental. Not sure how we are getting home though. My wife only got a one way flight. So it will either be a Uhaul or as she says drive the rental home.  Unknown how much stuff she will want to bring back from the family home.

 

On a Happier note, I wish  Davie a HAPPY BIRTHDAY. 🎂

 

@heatherd it is fantastic that you care so much to take a young transgender lady into your home and life. Hope all goes well with the custody hearing. My wife is in the perfect position to do the same thing, with her position as custodian at an alternative High school. However, Her attitude towards us is a down fall. She tolerates me being different but still doesn't understand.

 

SO, Happy Hump day everyone.  Stay safe and warm.

 

Hugs,

 

Kymmie

Thank you 😊.  It's going really well. Haven't needed any pain meds. Today they let me eat and made 2 laps around the floor walking 🚶‍♀️. I haven't seen the results yet though, still have bandages there. I can barely wait to see. 

Hope you are all well.

I don't know what part of the country you are in, but I am so glad this is working out for y'all.  I wish it was this way everywhere.

I'm a parent myself, and I can't imagine ever turning on of my children away - trans, straight, or whatever.

Good morning 

 

@KymmieL, you are full of surprises aren’t you?  
 

@heatherd can you get some of these teachers to attest to the changes in her attitude?  A friend of mine is fighting over custody and her spouse is trying to play dirty.  A lot of us provided attestations, plus our friend had physical evidence that refuted the claims.  She got everything she asked for and considering the state involved that’s unusual.  Good luck.

Chair yoga is very low intensity but it does get you moving. I needed that today.  (To get some movement). 
 

i think I’ll skip aqua fitness for now until I get my body more used to activity. 
 

Good idea or bad idea?  I bought (ordered) a 5” Alexa Show today.  I went with that because we already have Alexa set up in the house.  I wanted a clock I can see in the bedroom. I paid less for this than any clock radio and most straight alarm clocks.  I do have a single google station but that’s not plugged in because at the time Alexa did more.  The issue is, which if any will last.  Both Amazon and Google claim to be losing millions annually on Alexa and they are both on the verge of shutting down certain divisions within their programs.  So, no matter which way you go, in a few short years you could be stuck with lots of worthless hardware purchased because it gave you certain security or control whether you were home or away.  Let’s face it Ring, Nest, Honeywell, Rumba and many other electronics have hung their own future on these gadgets and it they go away, then what?  Paid subscription?  Units sold at double or triple the cost to remain economically viable to Amazon or Google?  Seems like maybe Apple is the smartest by staying away.

TGIF unless you are @KymmieL then it’s “Just another Monday”

 

well, tonight is our Transgender Teens meeting and a separate meeting for parents.  I plan on only attending this meeting going forward and dropping the adult meeting.  I can always go to a meeting if I feel the need, I have three different groups available to me.

Good morning, it’s my last morning in Daytona Beach watching the sunrise at high tide. 
 

The post just before this one was supposed to be on the morning of the rocket launch. But I didn’t hit the submit button, and it was saved here. So here’s my current view.

Pretty much correct. Reminds me of a song, I hate Mondays.

 

Got kind of a shocker. but possibly short lived. The boss changed my schedule. I have all day shifts from now till next Sat. Then the following week I am back to closings so as I said short lived. unknown about the following week.

 

Coffee is warm and tasty.

 

Have a great weekend everyone

 

Hugs

Good morning 

 

Wow! What a meeting with the teens last night.  But let me step back a minute.  A girl went missing and was found dead last weekend In Wilmington.  For once it didn’t take long to identify a suspect and he was arrested here in Myrtle Beach.  There was a vigil for her Friday after work hours In Wilmington.  The person that leads our meeting was asked to speak and he did.  Yes she was one of us.  Anyway, it was obvious he was still not ready for the meeting to start, somewhat disorganized which is not normal so I took the lead and started.  He then talked about the vigil and the death.  We got into a discussion about being careful and not taking up with strangers.  That lead into a pretty good discussion about not knowing how to answer when a cis school mate asks out etc.  Somehow that evolved into a discussion about surgeries.  Sometimes, It doesn’t take much prompting to get these kids talking.  Other times they are just as happy to just have time to be with people just like themselves.

 

@KymmieL happy to hear you are getting a week of days. I was trying to plant the seed for that song. 😀 .

 

Please keep KC in your thoughts and whatever you do, don’t agree to a first date with someone you just friended on Facebook unless it’s meeting them in a busy public place.

 

Be vigilant

I'm sorry.  I hadn't heard about this.  But I don't think we hear about a lot of things.  I expect things will only get worse with all the rhetoric going around.

This is why I drive to Asheville for my support group.  Just being with someone else like me is so nice.

@Ivy Wilmington and Myrtle Beach’s media both covered this but neither mentioned she was a transgender woman.  So you would have had to see this and guess.  It was widely spread throughout the Wilmington transgender groups on Facebook, however, you would have to be a part of that and like so many similar groups these are open only to members and membership requires an introduction to a leader.  Anyway, I’m not surprised you hadn’t heard about Casey or KC as she was better known.

 

I am afraid it’s only going to get worse.  Wilmington had been considered to be LGBTQI friendly, but the numbers killed or beaten has grown dramatically.  Most of the reported deaths in Myrtle Beach have been drug or gang related but it won’t be long.  We all must be aware of our surroundings and locations and stay away from the hate as much as possible.  Let’s face it not very many of us pass 100%.

 

I don’t want to lose any friends so be safe out there

 

hugs

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."

      I have read some of it, mostly in areas specifically targeted at the LGBTQ+ peoples.   You also have to take into account what and who is behind the words, not just the words themselves. Together that creates context, right? Let's take some examples, under the Department of Health & Human Services section:   "Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike."   or   "Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society. Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on “LGBTQ+ equity,” subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families."   From a wording perspective, who doesn't want to protect the health and well-being of Americans or think that families aren't good for America? But let's take a look at the author, Roger Severino. He's well-quoted to be against LGBTQ+ anything, has standard christian nationalist views, supports conversion therapy, etc.   So when he uses words like "threatens the health and well-being of children and adults alike" it's not about actual health, it's about enforcing cis-gendered ideology because he (and the rest of the Heritage Foundation) believe LGBTQ+ people and communities are harmful. Or when he invokes the family through the lens of, let's just say dog whistles including the "penalization of marriage" (how and where?!), he idealizes families involving marriage of a "biological male to a biological female" and associates LGBTQ+ family equity as something unhealthy.   Who are the radical actors? Who is telling people to be trans, gay, or queer in general? No one. The idea that there can be any sort of equity between LGBTQ+ people and "normal" cis people is abhorrent to the author, so the loaded language of radical/destructive/guise/threaten are used. Families that he believes are "good" are stable/well-ordered/healthy, specifically married/nuclear ones.   Start looking into intersectionality of oppression of non-privileged groups and how that affects the concept of the family and you will understand that these platitudes are thinly veiled wrappers for christian nationalist ideology.   What's wrong with equity for queer families, to allow them full rights as parents, who are bringing up smart and able children? Or single mothers who are working three jobs to get food on plates?

      Well yesterday didn't work like I wanted to. I met a guy and started talking and he was wanting to be in a relationship. I asked my kids on how they thought of me dating a man and they said gross and said no. I guess it's time to look for women. I think that is going to be harder. Oh well I guess.
