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.

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far... 
    • EasyE
      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.
