Hello, my name is Ash and I’m currently in therapy and I’m trying to come out. The problem is that my therapist isn’t sure if I’m really trans, because I’m not as motivated as other patients. But that is because I’m kinda scared. I alr tried to talk to my mom but she doesn’t seem to understand, doesn’t matter how hard I try and she says that she doesn’t want to call me Ash because my therapist isn’t sure about me wanting to be a boy. Idk if I should try talking with my dad. He seems more understanding. It’s just so hard. Idk what to do. I feel like I have to be two people at once. Idk how to come forward. My therapist suggested to get help through forums. So someone please help me🙏🙏 -

The problem with voters is that we are lazy and don't take the time to research a legislator's track record. If we really dug into a legislator's record to see if their work has been meaningful or effective, there are many we wouldn't re-elect. A bathroom bill to restrict the rights of transgender; come on, when would that ever be effective or meaningful legislation? If we keep giving these oxygen thieves a pass, we will keep getting the congress and senate we deserve. -

In so many ways, it's all about the money. Bills that deny transgender rights don't cost a lot of money. Real legislation often carries hefty expense, which is why enacting such legislation requires hard work. Pass an easy bill, award yourself a trophy, pass a hard bill award yourself a trophy. It isn't hard to see why we are the target of our legislators. -

"State Representative to people: I have just introduced legislation to repair Highway ## that goes by your homes and makes all your business and social life possible by removing ??? potholes and dangerous ??? that wear your cars and trucks out fast and endanger your lives daily. Constituents: Yes YEAH, golly great !!! State Rep: The work is however going to raise you property taxes by 3 cents per square mile of area!! Constituents: "Impeach the walrus!! Get the tar and feathers and a rail to ride him out of state on!! --------------------------------------------- So the State Rep - introduces legislation against Trans People, and its alright again if he does not tell them what it means for their Highway to cost them next to nothing. -

With that on the shelf, now they can turn their minds to such things as recovery from the weather related damage that has been done in their state and improvement of their state owned and maintained roads, public health issues for the general public which are not being addressed while Trans issues are debated and (heaven help them) education can be addressed. Our health needs are hundredths of pennies (.001 cents) compared to the needs for local water and sewer systems, and even electrical systems that are the shared resources of all of their citizens. Only problem is that they have to speak of money that is real, and may need a tax increase to see that the majority of citizens who elected them are safe and able to conduct their daily life and affairs. We can't have that can we!!! -

An item that is implied here is to get us out of the limelights and cross-hairs of the politicians long enough to get our real work done which is to bolster science and facts at hand and give the medical profession tools to do its job. I think that is what Levine is suggesting for our future and I am for it, since she does note our resilience. We have become the low hanging fruit when an "ISSUE" was needed to show actions to mask their ineffectiveness in the TRUE sense of government involvement in the daily lives of people. 1.6% of the population being the center of focus leaves 98.4% without meaningful representation. -

That would be back in the closet for me. I live openly as a woman, but it's not hard to clock me. Sure, I have the option of getting a male wardrobe, letting my facial hair grow out, tossing my wig, etc. I could wear loose clothes so my breasts wouldn't be as obvious. I got away with that for years, and I think I could pull it off again. My name might still be a problem though. My State only lets me change it once, and I've already used that option. I wonder if I'd need a health care person to sign off on changing my gender back to male? I suppose I could still wear a dress around the house as long as I never answered the door. My online history might still be a problem though. Apparently they do, because they keep electing these people. -

Unbelievable to me that voters accept that an elected body would waste its time on something as idiotic as this. Have they not got much on? If they're bored, and dreaming up wheezes to pass their time, then what is their House actually for? Is it worth the expense? Aren't there any more substantive issues affecting voters? You could work out what it cost to pass this legislation, at least roughly. Divide the total annual running costs by the number of hours they sat, so you have an hourly cost, then multiply by the number of hours spent on this garbage. Add in any additional costs (consultants, suppliers, expenses incured by members on this topic) if they weren't covered in the annual running costs. I'm guessing it will be $hundreds-of-thousands. Do the voters really think it was worth that or do they think there are more important things they should have been doing? -

Thank you so much. I literally just got back from the post office where I sent to them my used but unmarked copy of "You and Your Gender Identity: A Guide to Discovery", the excellent workbook by Dara Hoffman-Fox. I was concerned it might cause an uproar in their household. But they are excited to get it and asked me to not worry and just send it. And that's a nice idea - I'll let them know about TP too. @MaeBe I also loved the theme song in the closing credits. The film almost would have been anticlimactic without it. But in that sense, you kinda knew it was coming, else you'd think they'd have edited out all the anticipatory scenes. I do think Wiig was sincere - the song struck a balance between humorous and touching while being respectful...and with a jazzy part lol. A friend is a friend is a friend to the end. -

Might the answer be not to identify as Trans? I do not id as being trans -

when i was at ballet school we did yoga every morning at six that was the start of our day, seeing yourself as happy and successful can also help, walking in the countryside and listening to the sounds of nature can also be quiet healing -

This is going to be our reality for a while. They figure if they can make our lives miserable enough, we'll go back into the closet. Then they'll feel like they have accomplished something. -

We're a soft target. It gives them the illusion of having done something important. -
