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.

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. ❤️

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 ?

      Russian Poetry Competition Bans Entries From Trans People

      By Carolyn Marie · Posted

      https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/04/russian-poetry-competition-bans-transgender-applicants/     Everyone in Russia knows that Putin hates LGBT people, so every segment of society gets on board with the Leader's viewpoint, or they risk his wrath.  Sounds a lot like Florida, doesn't it?   Carolyn Marie

      Euphoria and dysphoria

      By MaeBe · Posted

      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!

      By MaeBe · Posted

      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard.

      Project 2025

      By MaeBe · Posted

      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.
