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.

      It's good to hear some positive notes through all the negativity about at the moment. I am not religious but do see a lot of positivity in many things they do, outside of the normal media attention.   Tracy

      From what I understand, my GF's early life was influenced by supremacism.  She sniffed around the edges of a couple of groups, and ended up for a while as part of an armed communist organization.  Mostly, just looking for a place to belong, and something to struggle for (and against).  She's told me about some of it, no doubt just the heavily edited Cliff Notes version.  But she did say that hatred takes effort.  It isn't something you're born with, its something you learn or that develops, often through suffering.    I think perhaps it is easier for children of supremacists to leave and do something different than it is for people who come to it through their own experiences.  When they are shown kindness by folks who are different from them, it begins to crack the wall.

      I've come to the understanding that most Angry and Intolerant people are that way because they haven't discovered their True Self.  So they lash out at others instead of seeking internal discovery ... whatever that is.  So for me ... it is not a Surprise but a welcome Celebration of the individuals Humanity.

      Bravo! @Vidanjali!   Their objective is to steer 'the Youth' in a different (and more conservative/intolerant) direction, but they don't realize they will actually push them away and lose them in the long run.

      Me too @EasyE.  But we are ALL on our own unique Journey.  That's what makes it both Difficult and WONDERFUL. Your Journey is SPECIAL - Only you can experience it and appreciate it.  Speed On, Dear EasyE!!

      @awkward-yet-sweet, bummer about the road trip that isn't. Next time!   @KymmieL, good luck with the job hunting, you deserve it.   @Birdie, I'm happy for you that you have a new connection who seems so supportive!   @Ivy, enjoy!   The issue I referred to in my little grizzle the other day looks like it will resolve itself without conflict. Everything is good. 🙂

      One of the reasons that I hesitated to sign up to this forum originally was because I couldn't think of a femme name for myself. That stems from the fact that I wasn't seeking one, and still don't, although lately I have become a bit curious.   My username has geographical and astronomical connections. It is an indigenous word that describes the Southern Cross constellation.

      Again, thank you for these posts @Sally Stone. As a person just embarking on their own exploration, seeing through an eagle’s eye is invaluable. I can understand the desire to compartmentalize. I’m coming out at 47 and have several military affiliated friends. I never served myself but know them via hobbies we share. I’d be nervous about coming out to those whom I didn’t know very well, but some I do know better are openly ‘queer’. Meeting these people definitely challenged my existing stereotypes about the military in a positive way; more regarding those who comprise the services as opposed to stated protocol/mission.
