Is there any way to choose who can see your post? For example, our pictures are only viewed by forum members, can we make regular posts do the same? If not... i would suggest adding this!

No, Viv, anyone can read posts.  It may be technically possible to do what you propose, but I think doing so would severely damage our ability to attract new members and the site would slowly die.  How could we attract anyone, outside of word of mouth, if they couldn't see the value in what we do and have here?  We don't have funds to advertise.

True, Thanks for letting me know! May I ask how much on average per year, it takes to run this forum?

I honestly don't know the answer, Viv.  The site owner pays the bills and does get some donations.  It's not a huge amount of money - most of the cost is for the server and for the company which provides the operating system.  They pay the staff peanuts; literally.  I prefer salted and in-the-shell myself.  ?

SAME, salted bbq ones are my fave.

If there was any possible way to donate I would love to someday, this website has helped me alot! I feel like i should give back somewhat haha. I follow the reddit trans forum page & it's wild how many people are on that compared to this, I honestly feel like this forum deserves more recognition than it gets, But i also like the calmness of this forum where we'd be able to recognize each other and there's less noise.

There is a donation link on the home page.  Whatever and whenever anyone can donate, it is more than appreciated.  We are not a registered charitable (501c3) organization, however.

How did i miss that!? Thank you :) the funds go to this website right? I'm assuming that's what you meant by not being registered as a charity.

I like peanuts but don't eat them very often because when I eat peanuts I consume a large amount of calories very fast.

Thank you :) I checked to see the payment options and it directed me to paypal, I actually have a thing against paypal, they bankrupted my bank account in 2017 over a 30$ debt which was split into three different payments. i lost over 500$ because of them, and then when i contacted them, they said i still haven't paid it... Like -what the heck-? lol So I have no access to paypal and I'm definitely not up to making an paypal account. When i have the funds to donate I'll contact an administrator and figure out another way to donate. ❤️

Thank you for your willingness to help.  Petra Jane would be the one to contact for information as how to contribute to the site expenses.

I had similar concerns when I realized everything I saw and posted on the open forum was visible to non-Members.  But I also realized that I probably would not have found this Forum without that feature. 
So, I think I can live with that.  I was careful to go back and sanitize my profile info and there have been a few times I have had to catch myself before I typed something in (... too much info?)

Just be careful.  Started using PM more, but even with that, when something goes out on the internet you have to assume it could always be accessed or re-sent by other parties.
 

.. and I like peanuts too ?

      What's normal?🤪   Lots of love, Timber Wolf 🐾😁

      That's a toughy to say. But I do know that it's an area for improvement with me. I can get pretty down on myself sometimes. I guess I have to remember that I'm human just like everyone else, not perfect. And that's okay.   Lots of love, Timber Wolf 🐾🪻

      Good morning    On this date in 1972 it was a Saturday. I  made a pledge to love and honor my wife and keep her forsaking all others.  I have kept those vows and here we are celebrating our 52nd anniversary still together.  Still caring for each other through sickness and in health.  Still sharing our lives.   Other than that, it’s another day near the beach.  80 and mostly sunny.     I found a ‘17 GMC Acadia yesterday I want to take a look at.  It’s a bit more than I wanted to spend but it’s doable. Only 69k miles on it, with the low mileage I put on cars these days it probably won’t ever hit 100k if I do beget it.  Low mileage now is  likely because it was a leased car at some point. Those usually get pretty good care and not a lot of miles.  It would be similar in size to my Ford, 7 passenger seating but a more basic trim which is fine.  It only has a 4 cyl engine so potentially rather under powered for a relatively large SUV.  The ford has a 4.0liter 6 which is a bit large for cars these days.  Instead of full time all wheel drive, it apparently has 4 modes, 2, 4, sport (what ever that is, I presume it’s over drive turned off) and anti slip.  It’s probably not going to happen but I am keeping my eyes open for a good deal. The old Ford is just that, an old worn out Ford.  Since I bought the Ford I’ve only put about 10k miles on it in 6 years.  My daughter once had an Acadia, top trim package.  When she was driving back and forth to work close to 100 miles per day and going to Philadelphia every week another 500 or more.  For her the miles added up fast.   still keeping my eyes open.  This is about the right age and size but I was hoping to spend about $2000 less.   Other than that I hope to meet with my minister today about paper topics for my class submission.   Other than that Monday is laundry day so I’ll be doing several loads of laundry today.     I put on a neutral gel nail polish last night.  I tried this before, however, I don’t believe I correctly understood the how to get a good result so I was more careful this time.  All I want it’s to give my bpfinger nails enough strength to grow out just a little and stop tearing.   Well, I need to call to make an urology appointment.   @Birdiei was born in Ohio and until Lamda Legal sued them you could not get a sex change on a birth certificate for any reason.  Now you can.  In South Carolina a name change requires $300 and a form filled out and filed with the clerk of courts.  But a gender change requires a birth certificate with the new gender listed.  I am hoping they will permit gender X eventually but right now the state is too Red to do any such thing.   Willow

      I have the problem, that I see myself at 3 maybe 4 on the list. I don't have the self love that I should have.   What does it mean to you?   Kymmie

      Seems the stuffy day-centre has swapped out Psychiatric Services and therapy to the local BSA hospital. BSA works closely with the local university and is much more gender accepting than the day-centre. The day-centre's psychiatrist wanted to treat me for gender dysphoria by correcting it. 🙄   I logged into MyChart app at the hospital and updated my preferred name (Birdie) and preferred gender marker for them to use.  I'll try and get a referral for gender therapy at the hospital as well.    Nevada is my place of birth and I found out changing the gender marker on my birth certificate there only requires a letter from a licensed therapist, but a name change still requires a court order.    Changing the gender marker to female would at least be one step in the right direction, then I could renew my ID to state female instead.

      Well today by attention wise was downright horrible. My legs can't stay still, can't focus on a project, my mind wanders around a lot, constantly fidgeting, easily distracted, couldn't even tell you what the sermon was about but there was vine on the altar and attention to detail sucks. I have read that it is possible to have BPD and ADHD. My mind even wanders during prayer. If I have both I won't be able to take Adderall because it makes my BPD symptoms worse. I keep having side effects that come up from my 3 traumatic brain injuries.

      If it wasn't so *EVIL*, I would have to laugh.  Everyone knows that trans women in particular have such an overwhelming superiority in poetry that the competition would be unfair if they were allowed to enter.  You can't make this stuff up!   Seriously, sorry for making light of it.  But it is only by highlighting the utter absurdity of this kind of crap, whether it occurs in Russia or Florida, that I am able to hang on to any shred of sanity.

      I used to fully agree with this statement, that is, until the first lockdown   Everyone I knew around me was affected by the pandemic. they couldn't work. they couldn't see their friends. they felt bored/ frustrated they couldn't get out of the house   and then there was me who welcomed it, because for once in my life, I didn't feel like a loser- and after lockdown, when everyone looked forward to going back to work or going out, well.. I had nothing- and I felt that no, I wasn't normal because I didn't have a life to get back to
