Protection from the outside or from within?

  it seems to be on common ground that we share a more than what is external and a name, It is hard to explain to someone who never knew,,...but 

knowledge is the key to unfetter oppression and ignorance of sight

just my two cents for what that is worth , love as always

My favorite is the ship out on the water. ? Nice work. Posted some of my abstracts to the gallery, when I found out too many pictures posted to the forums isn't good.

Every body needs protection both outside and inside. Some places need more than others. Mods and Admins are the necessary for keeping the grounds together. Everybody is different and comes from different places. Claiming things "Common" still is an assumption and an ideal that generalizes too far from the reality that exists.

I do like your work Vickie and with your permission, can I save the "vase with the flowers"? I do like it a lot.

Dinaki by all means it is an honor for me , I will one up that with this, the heart on the vase is for you. But don’t look at this as if it is from me but as if it is from all of  in your life that you touch. I am just the messenger and the reasons I don’t need to know. love as always. V.

Mx.Drago my most recent piece 2’x3’ acrylic on canvas , I am working up the courage to start a 6’ x7’ peice. Not trying to distract anyone here, or myself really. I put everything on hold , hid all of my distractions out of sight. Deleted myself from every website till I get my life on track. That is why I came here. I am completely lost navigating  this site. Not unlike life, I get lost looking for my car keys. Seriously I am broken by the loss of my bbf and life partner of 30 years. I made a promiss to help myself in his absence, why IDK. It is kind of you to say and all the best to you, love as alwaysV.  as a note I am going to insist on my friends and family to use my chosen name and not my given name.

Why moderators exist?  We are hopefully acting as you servants.  This site like so many are often under attack by those who want to see trans folks return to the closet.  We now read and approve every post from new members but at one point we approved every post before it went up.  For the most part you will hopefully never be disturbed by folks who want a porn site(they are available elsewhere) or by posts filled with hate.

When i first found this site i was amazed.  All i had ever seen before  on the internet was the kind of porn that did little but make me feel dirty for simply being myself.  Being here to help each other find peace with themselves is a miracle.

Hopefully we as mods and admins can help with that.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

Thank you Charlize, I knew why and share the sentiment, I found myself shocked to say the least by comments made by close friends and family on social media sites. Often warning them that even in jest it is a double edged sword ,as well as hurtful and uncalled for to treat anyone with no respect. Now the same people are telling me they are in my corner and that I am loved. I find that hard to believe no matter how much I like too. I tell everyone , look I have been listening for years to you make these nasty and rude comments thinking you were hurting no one. While I sat right across from you. I am not trying to make anyone feel bad or guilty or anything other than “ hey if one person loses their rights then  everyone loses their rights. It maybe trans today the women tomorrow and so on where will it end.?  

 So coming here I hoped to move forward , just a note but I have been in counseling for like forever dealing with PTS and ever other issue before dealing with gender. It made no sense to put the cart before the horse, yes my gender is important but thinking oh if I change that everything will be great. It simply doesn’t work that way. I wish it did for everyones sake. I apologize for the long winded comment and thank you for taking the time to reply. V.

Hi Vickie

Loved the art. 

Perhaps those close friends and family will come around eventually. Yes it does hurt.

Many times it is just thoughtlessness before making a comment. Hopefully it will resolve itself in time.

Wish you all the best.

Rule #1 sometimes people make a bad choice

Rule #2 you can’t change rule #1

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      A U.S. dollar bill can be folded approximately 4,000 times in the same place before it will tear. -You cannot snore and dream at the same time. -The average person walks the equivalent of three times around the world in a lifetime. -A hippo’s wide open mouth is big enough to fit a 4-foot-tall child in. -Chewing gum while you cut an onion will help keep you from crying.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆
