I have to do it anonymously with cash, MO or cashiers check. Whats the procedure for that?

 

One way might be to ask a favor of a friend or work acquaintance who has a PayPal account. Give your payment in cash to them, and they in turn make the donation in that amount via PayPal.

If you do this, please, please, please make sure that they are happy to make a donation on your behalf to a Transgender Site, if they do this for you, and then decide they do not wish to be connected to us, and they raise a dispute with PayPal, we are charged an additional $20 to refund them! So, please use the message option to state "Donation on behalf of <your username>." thanks in advance.

Many thanks ... Lee,

The pleasure's all mine, literally. This site is my window on the world, along with tgAA. Otherwise, it would be a bleak view....

Me too.  Without y'all I'd have no contact with other trans folks.

Dear @Petra Janeand all the staff/mods at Transgender Pulse, I just wanted to say that while I'm new here, the support and community here has been absolutely wonderful and so valuable to me, especially where I'm at now with my journey and transition. It's my pleasure to make a monthly donation to extend my appreciation.

 

Love,

~Audrey.

       Petra Jane ditto here! My private website, which has been around since 2006, is currently down (disabled due "hack"?) and, having been a member of other sites that heavily censure, find your format and friendly member attitudes to be quite refreshing!

       Don't post much, not big on lengthy "introductions" either, been quietly transitioning FOREVER (a political "conservative") and your "pro-binary/bi-gender/transfemme" labels would probably best describe me quite well.

The only one I returned was due to it been charged to someone who claimed it was done without their permission and instigated a PayPal chargeback which cost us $20 extra  last year. This was donated this year on 8th July, and refunded on 9th July so as to prevent any further chargebacks.

I can't donate now because I am currently going through a lot. Once I can I definitely will. I'm really hopping the group can stay funded because I haven't felt this welcomed other than the military.

There is no green bar at the top of my screen on the forum.  
And there is no yellow button below the text when I follow the link to the donate page.  fyi 

 


I appreciate this forum.  
Like a life preserver.

Sorry @Maddee I missed this.

The only reason the green bar wouldn't show should be if someone is not logged in, or they are a Guest or are a New Member, the bar and option to donate only shows once a New Member has made 10 posts and become a regular Member.

 

Yellow button has changed since we've had a run of fake donations.

Shoot.  I didn't realize how much the site gets attacked.  But really, it figures.

Thank you all for what you do for us.

Having taken on the site, forums, and all of the bills, from Dev (May 2020) and because I also want to be fully transparent about the cost of running the site, I feel it's time to update this information. 

 

If you'd like to donate, please do so viaq the green bar at the top of the forum pages.  The months of July through October are pretty heavy with annual and semi-annual expenses and every little bit helps.

 

Here's the breakdown as it stands now:

 

Chat is now free. (Stu now runs the Chat)

 

Forums:  $70.00 every six months (February and August, effectively billed in January and July). (Was $45 until 2022, support ticket system depreciated!)

Resource Locator:  $50.00 yearly, payable in September.

Email Delivery:  $5.00 monthly.

Server Rental:  $30.00 monthly.

Security Software:  Now included in the package we have.

Domain Renewals: Annual charges for Transgenderpulse.com, Lauras-playground.com and the server domain.

 

Total Monthly Breakdown: $58.00 per month.  (Annual bills = $690) Updated 28 January 2022

 

Now then.  I'm on a fixed income, which means I know what it's like not having a penny to spare.  If you're not in a position to donate, please don't feel guilty; I didn't take over here to turn a profit.  The lights will stay on.  Donations are very much appreciated, but they are not a requirement of membership.

 

An update to clarify a couple of points: Because you have to use your legal name with PayPal, emails confirming your donation from PayPal will be from a name with the initials "DS", not Petra Jane and the email used is tgp (at) uk-web***

 

Unfortunately, we can only accept payment through PayPal, and please ensure that you have permission to make any donation through a PayPal account, we have recently been stung by someone alledgedly using a PayPal account without the owner's permission and incurred an additional $20 chargeback to refund the donation!

 

We have recently seen a number of these of late so I am asking that genuine donators please add your forum username in the comment box so that I, and I alone, will know who has sent the donation and that it is genuine. Thank you.

 

Let me reassure you:

Donations help towards ongoing costs related to keeping the site running, including hosting, bandwidth, etc. It also encourages us to commit regular updates, add features, and improve the service.

Our promise to you is that this site and its use will always remain free of charge.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

      In this case the MAGA GOP transphobes Just my opinion of course
    • atlantis63
      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      Wife of mine pointed out that not getting a haircut for a month looks hideous - weird bald patches.  So back to super- short buzz cut.  This morning I braced, looking in the mirror.  I look like a woman trying to pass as a a guy, maybe  a small-breasted woman with enough T treatment to grow a mustache.    I would not believe me if I read what I write about me.  This is nuts.   White t-shirt: that they sell in the back of WM so you can tie-dye them or otherwise decorate them. They are thick and long lasting and slightly fitted, so that they could be a man's.  I like them.   Jeans, flip flops.   I will no longer point out these are women's.  What else would I wear?

      That is all that is necessary. I did the same thing. I must have gotten something wrong.

      Quite right mate! I have been letting my hair grow out again (I cut it all off when I was 18).    I'll never look this good:    But I'll aspire to look my best! ☺️
