Hi y’all! I’m Molly! I’m a 20 year old trans woman who currently lives in rural Texas. I love sharks, video games, reading, and writing. My datemate and I are hoping to move to Rhode Island by Christmas this year. 

 

I hope y’all don’t mind me doing a get-to-know you question. What is your favorite type of Shark?

Pleased to meet you Molly, I'm with you on the video games and reading... My favourite sharks are all on screen. Bruce from finding Nemo would be my fave :)

Hi Molly and welcome to the forums. My favorite shark would have to be the goblin shark. It’s not a looker, but has adapted amazingly for its environment.

Greetings Molly and welcome.  Quite a change, Texas to Rhode Island.  What's the occasion, school?  

 

I like Mako because they are sleek and fast but the Great White is awesome for its size and strength.  

 

Please join in the conversation!

Hi Molly,

Welcome to TransPulse. I'm glad you're here!

 

My favorite shark is any one that doesn't eat me! I did have a Silver Shark in an aquarium once.

 

Lots of love and a big welcome hug,

Timber Wolf?

Welcome, Molly! The Nurse Shark, because I'm a nurse. :) I found a fossilized shark tooth at the beach when I was teenager, and I keep it in my jewelry box. Have you ever seen one like this? Do you have some shark tooth jewelry?

Howdy Jani! Sorry for the late reply. We've decided to stay in Texas, but move to Austin. To be honest, I'm a bit scared of transitioning in this state. As a redneck who grew up in an extremely traditional southern family (think shooting by 3, being giving firearms for holidays), I've seen just how hateful and violent this state can be to trans folks.

Welcome Molly.  I've heard Austin is a great place.  Just please do be careful.

Glad you've joined us.

 

Hugs,

Hi Molly, welcome ?

 

Sharks are not really a big subject over here as we see few except for those on TV, but with my liking for dogs I look upon the dogfish with affection (even though it obviously has nothing to do with dogs lol). I also find the Hammer Head Shark interesting, particularly with its electrical field sensing.

Hi! I live in San Diego , and used to virtually live at the beach growing up. My parents dropped me and I friend off at La Jolla Shores early , and pick us up later in the day. I have seen sharks close up at the beach , to kinda close at Sea World. 

From time to time, hundreds of Leopard Sharks swarm La Jolla Shores as close as the shore line. Google “Hundreds of sharks swarm La Jolla shores. One day we heard about it after we arrived, and heard that Leopard sharks do not attack people, and that we were allowed to go in. Most people didn’t go in, and they certainly didn’t go boogie boarding like we did that day. It was the coolest thing ever. There definitely were hundreds, and they swam right past us, and we even swooshed past them when we caught some waves. Very fun and surreal. Apparently, they come in for schools of fish that swim close to the shoreline, and the water was warm too. Occasionally, a freak white will pass by, but they do not come that close, or the lifeguards would have warned everyone. For this reason, I pick Leopard shards, although I do like the whitetip sharks because they look kinda cool, and they also hang out at the kelp beds across the way at “The Cove.”

Hello!  I guess for favorite shark I'll go with Mako, because they share the same name as the voice actor for Aku and Uncle Iroh.

I think it’s called a thrasher shark? All I know it it’s got that giant top half of the back fin. They look like something out of an alien movie or something. Welcome to the forums!

Welcome to the Forums, Molly.  I hope you find the answers to whatever questions you have, and not just about sharks.  On that subject, though, I like whale sharks, because they seem like really gentle creatures and are in great need of protection.

Hi Molly, good to meet you. Gotta say, I winced when I read you're in Texas. That is not an easy state to live in when your LBGT from what I've heard. Good luck with your goal to move north.

I was born and raised in Florida. I have a great respect for sharks. I had the privilege of diving with schools of sharks in Galapagos as a teenager. My favorite is the same as Carolyn's--the whale shark. I think it's incredible they get so big by eating plankton.

Molly,

 

My father owned a 19' cabin cruiser when I was in my teens.  We took a trip to Santa Catalina Island (Southern California) one day, and on the return trip there was this huge thresher breaching for no apparent reason.  Just as the boat pass over it came completely out of the water, and I was standing in the aft part of the boat watching.  It was so beautiful, and it seemed as big as the boat, though I am sure it was not.  So, that has to be my fav.

      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."

      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.

      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.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.
