So am I right intersex is your preference?

"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.

Good morning

 

coffee is good and welcome this morning.

 

I do not post pictures of myself on open websites, but I do when I can control who can see them.  New pictures are few and far between.  Example my profile picture next to this post.  I don’t even have this wig any more.  The problem with wigs is they don’t last very long before you have to replace them. I prefer to not make sudden drastic changes but it’s difficult not to.

 

anyway, I received this yesterday

Thank you I can use it. I got daring and decided to have a cup of coffee. It's kind of a requirement as I'm just like my Mom. If I don't have coffee in the morning than I'll be getting a migraine later on.

It is not very often, but I can relate to migraine too. I have just mild black tea with a little bit of honey put in it and a green limette. Later we going to have a bbq in the garden with friends and my brother.

Once I finally got a wig, it wasn't real long until I got another.  I actually do switch off.  LOL.  I can change my hairstyle pretty easily.

I do have shoulder length hair, just not on top.  A lot of the time I just go without the wig, and cover the top with a hat or scarf.

I know - and have seen - cis women with very thin hair.  And of course some cis ladies do use wigs.

But in my case, in this town people know I'm trans anyway - for better or worse.  I do stay with my natural color though, grey.

Intersex can have thinning hair as well. Mine is much thinner on top, and I have to part on the side and "comb over" for it to look the way I want. Thinning hair is just part of getting old: male, female, or in-between. 😉

Morning all.

 

My Saturday, with the wife here. I was able to sleep in. Don't know why, lately I can only sleep in when she is with me. Could be that L word. Don't know.

 

Waiting for the coffee to brew. I normally access the site and post with my laptop. Sometime with my phone. If I am in need to post something.

 

Well I think and hope I fixed the fuel leak on the wagon. I just forgot to check my fittings and didn't tighten one. Had it under pressure for about 5 minutes with no leakage. So, fingers crossed. I have 4 days till we are taking her to the show. Going to take her on an Ice Cream run today. about 60 miles round trip.

 

gotta go coffee is calling, and I must answer.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      Having just a normal emotional day.
    • Heather Shay
      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
