I should have read Birdies comment before writing mine down. 🙄

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

The German perspective is very interestingly similar to the Hebrew. It's good to get perspectives from many sources. 

Also in the Hebrew the words have become derogatory in use. It seems that the word "Intersex" was adopted into Hebrew from English in order to bridge that gap by using a word not deemed derogatory.

Guten Morgen!

1st cup of coffee and today should be a great day. I have a day at the mall shopping planned. I'll hit the clearance racks and maybe pick up a new bra 🤔

Good morning everyone. My mind told me it's time to wake up early apparently. My body didn't get the memo.

I have known of the word androgyn too since we have many greek words in our language too,androgyn has not became derogatory, but I have known this word used for feminine male and masculine woman, but have never heard it used as synonym to intersex. So am I right intersex is your preference?

 

And before I forget good morning to you all

"If" I need to clarify to a stranger, "intersex" would be my first choice in words. 

 

I of course prefer that I don't have too clarify, and would rather just blend in. 

 

The Hebrew version of "andirog'inos" is viewed as synonymous with hermaphrodite, where "Saris" is viewed as a feminine male. The world might be adopted from the greek but didn't receive the exact meaning when adopted.

Good morning everyone,:coffee::coffee::coffee:

 

Alessia, your choice of Avitar/AVI is a good one, and no one will pressure you to post real time pictures of yourself. You'll know when you feel comfortable with it. Everyone that I've encountered here is very supportive, and only make suggestive comment when you ask for comments or help.

 

Yesterday my wife got a private message from one of her cousins, warning us that a planned family reunion taking place in Eureka Springs, AR in two weeks, is happening during the height of Pride Month. Eureka Springs, AR is the Capital of Pride and the Gay community. The message sounded like a negative warning, and solicited her opinion. She read the response to me, and it was comforting that she told this cousin to react with respect, and understand you have a choice to spectate or participate. The choice was hers. We will not be changing our plans to see family in a community that seems to be open minded and inclusive. If family members choose to avoid this long time planned family gathering because there's another long time planned event going on at the same time. It's their closed mind that will cause them to miss a fun family gathering. I thanked her with a smile when she read her response to me. Then I said wait until they get a load of me... I won't be flamboyant with my presentation, but I will be supporting my colors. Several of her family members know about my coming out, and while not totally supportive, they aren't negative towards us. The majority of this family was raised Pentecostal, and focus on living in the Bible Belt for a reason. We're not going to let them spoil our fun, and visit to Eureka Springs, AR.

The Chinese food place addressed me as "ma'am" again. Even the Torrid SA didn't know until she looked up my account. 

And I'm just wearing shorts and a tshirt. 😉

 

Why the day center won't let me use the girl's room is beyond me. 🤔

I'm telling folks I'm riding on a trolley in tomorrow's Pride Parade--they all ask "What will you be wearing?" I did not plan what to wear and now I'm panicked. What? What should I wear? A wig? Does this mean I'll also have to play guitar for the Doobie Brothers? Tsk, tsk.

Alas, the wig didn't ship in time, however, I did show up, show off, and had great fun at the Boston Pride Parade!

Good Morning y'all!

 

Just a lazy day at home planned today, nothing really special. 

 

I'll make my coffee here in a bit as soon as I get up enough energy to do so. 

 

A friend might join me for lunch later, so I guess I'll make gluten free vegetarian pizza. 

 

Have a wonderful day y'all!

Nice Sunday Summer Sunday and always think positive!

Good morning Natalianatalia,

 

It's unseasonably dry and cool here in Central Indiana, USA. I try my best and for the most part am a positive thinker. I do have some personal stressors out side of my trans issues. They are work related, and normal, according to my therapist. I hope you had a wonderful Sunday, and your week goes well.

Good morning Birdie,

 

I'm guessing you're using a mobile device to check in to coffee talk. My morning routine doesn't start until coffee is brewing. I'm so impatient that my first cup is from a Kuerig, while the larger pot brews.

My arthritic hands won't allow me to use my mobile device while laying in bed. Once coffee is brewing, I take my morning medications, and eat a small cup of yogurt or rice pudding. Our real breakfast meal is more of a brunch around 10:30 once my wife is up, and gone through her morning rituals. She's a night owl, and I'm a morning bird.

 

Hug,

Well good morning y'all. Not feeling good today so I might skip on church today. Stomach is in knots, nauseous and have cold sweats. I'm hoping this goes away soon because I really want to go to church because there is going to be a guest preacher who has been doing it for over 65 years.

Hopefully the church service is in a couple of hours, and your stomach has time to settle out, or pass whatever is going on.

 

Hope you feel better soon,

It's a cool day here. There was a storm throughout the night. The only thing that sucks about the rain is the humidity that comes after and it can get pretty bad in the south of the US. The temperature could say 70 or 80 something but that humidity sure can make a difference.

      @Willow things went pretty well on Monday. I have been working on the project all week long. I've been hanging out with my husband a lot, since he said that nobody would mind because I'm working on company stuff. My work is going slowly, but it is going. Rather better than I had hoped.   I ended up waking up late this morning. After 18 months of only working on house chores, not really used to doing anything else. Actually a little bit tired

      Getting back to this… I've seen objections to Critical Race Theory, but simply "critical theory" is a new one on me.  I think we need to be "critical" about a lot of things, or at least examine why we believe what we do about them.  If they stand up under scrutiny, great.  If not perhaps we need to look at something else.   Not all socialists are Soviet Russian Communists. I have read very little Marx myself.  That kind of writing bores me quickly.  But I think there are legitimate concerns about unfettered capitalism.  There are countries that seem to do well on a mixture of capitalism and socialism.  But I am no Tankie.   The Red Scare kinda morphed into the Lavender Scare, and now we have this Transgender Scare.   The thing is, most people are scared to get to know any of the people they are scared of. I'm not scared of evangelical christians.  But I am a little scared of what they seem ready to do to me, because they are scared of me. I am not a scary person - don't want to be.  I'm just an old trans woman trying to mind my own business, and get with what's left of my life. And the 2025 project seems to be designed to make that difficult.

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.

      Maybe.  But they'd probably resent being required to do it.   IDK.  You have to show ID to register already.  And you have to be registered to vote.

      Hah! Woke up the Red Scare!   I’ve never read Marx. I tend to believe in the inherent goodness in people. I let their words and deeds change that. Insisting people are immoral/less than/should not exist, stripping them (or keeping them from) human rights, is an a most basic example of true evil. What evils do LGBTQ+ people present simply existing? How does the Right justify their crusade against us? What justifies the manufactured fear and loathing they spout every day about us?

      Congrats on the new addition @Ivy I have the opposite I have 4 grandson and a granddaughter. 3 of whom are visiting this weekend. I am feeling better. I think the biggest thing is that I got some much needed sleep.   Well gotta go and speed sometime with the grandsons.   Kymmie

      I saw this concert in which it is said that the famous phrase of Jon Landau "I saw the future of rock and roll and his name is Bruce Springsteen" comes from that night. By the way Bruce opened for Bonnie Raitt that night and she was the better performer . . . just sayin'.

      Astronomy and astrophotography.  I have done a few public presentations on the subject and could most likely wing it for an hour without putting you to sleep.   On the other hand if you need a sleeping pill, I could also talk for an hour about flying and you'd be out cold.

      Please consider joining us, even if it's just for a few minutes to see what the meetings are like. I've learned so much, had so much fun and gained confidence in myself just by being a part of this amazing group of people. It's a low key, no pressure, non-judgmental chance to just be among people who are supportive, understanding and affirming of each other.    I'm travelling out of state and still planning on dropping in for awhile.    Come see what it's like!!
