While I usually don't even read threads like this one. Well I did. One thing that no one has mentioned

Pres Trump is a business man not a politician.  

 

Not one of the candidates can make good on there claims to change this or that. Even executive order has its limitations. They need the senate and congress to put there stamp on it.

I'll remind everyone again to please keep the temperature down on posts in this and every other thread.  It is easy for politics to inflame passions, so please read your post carefully before pushing the "Submit" button.  Please remain civil, do not insult anyone personally or an entire group of people.  Lastly, if you are stating that something is a fact, kindly provide source material or a link to back up that fact.  That does not mean you should post lengthy Youtube videos or links to opinion pieces.  Opinions are not facts.

 

Thank you.

Thanks so much Carolyn.  You are a true voice of reason.  I get everyone's political passions and would never argue to deny them, but I have to think there are more appropriate venues for political views.

The articles disagree with the take that the election was stolen, and probably would that the VP elect is the antichrist if that was something you could research, but ok!

Good thing the articles aren’t courts of law then, hmm? Those same articles’ authors think they have the authority to proclaim a new president. They don’t. They can project all they like. Just take a teensy trip back to 2000 to see how well that works out for them. 
 

There’s a very clearly-defined legal process for determining the winner of an election, and the media plays absolutely no role in it, despite what cnn and msnbc would prefer.

1) That is tremendously disrespectful of each and every person's personal judgment.

 

2) I've lived in NY since 1984.  I have completely and utterly despised Donald Trump since I became aware of him as a person in the early 1990's.  I personally know a caterer that he completely stiffed after she provided catering service for a big party.  He said that she should consider that she served him as reward enough.  In my opinion, a typically Republican attitude towards women.

 

Things I know personally:

 

*  There is no rioting whatsoever in New York.

*  I know six people who died of Covid, one of whom was a relative of my partner, in Vermont, in March

*  My partner and I had Covid in March.

*  The supreme court violated Florida's state rights in the Bush election.  States have their own jurisdiction over voting.  It doesn't matter how corrupt they are or what their process is.

 

In fact, I consider Trump a worse criminal than Mugabe, has lower morals, and is worse for America.  Those things are my personal opinion.

 

3) By the way, citing "the articles" is not citing a source, merely casting fear and doubt.  Do you really want to be responsible for spreading misinformation and undermining America?  Clearly state your sources or make clear that statements are your personal opinion or from your own experience.  Otherwise you are just a troll blowing smoke at us and you are working hard to destroy America.  People like you have worked so hard to undermine America and destroy all the things I have loved about it my whole life.

I’ve numbered the points and my corresponding responses because multiple quotes on an iPhone apparently isn’t happening. 

 

1) No it isn’t. Because the vast majority of people have never met with, nor dealt with the man. People say he’s against our community, except for him confirming that Caitlin Jenner could use whatever restroom she wished at Trump Tower. 
 

People claim he’s a racist, yet he has very large support from “Latinos for Trump,” “Blacks for Trump.” 
 

He was “so racist” that he’s been given awards from Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton. 
 

So “racist” he was welcomed with open arms to do a cameo on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

 

So “racist” he’s kept black unemployment numbers below what they were even during Obama’s term. 
 

Terrible “racist.”

 

2) That’s an awful lot of your opinion that seems largely subjective.

 

No rioting in New York? Then why did so many stores board up windows before the election? 
 

I too have a friend who’s had the virus. It hasn’t slowed him down one bit. 
 

3) Strange how you demand sources for my comments, but we’re supposed to just take your anecdotal evidence at face value.

 

However, never one to back down from a challenge...

 

Here’s just one for now:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-54124996
 

Sounds like getting a middle eastern nation to stop boycotting Israel and normal relations is pretty huge. And he’s down that 3 times now.

And the “oh-so-misogynistic” Trump added a woman to the Supreme Court. 
 

And the “oh-so-racist” Trump received awards and large support from minority communities.
 

A trans person on a transition team? There’s a joke in there somewhere, but it escapes me at the moment. I’ll be sure and keep a look out for anything that affects our community on a national level...and not just one person on one team. There’s a word for things like that, been around for quite some time... “token”... I believe. South Park even has a character named after the word. At this point, Biden has thrown us breadcrumbs.

 

Pardon me if I wait for the feast... or at the very least a reasonably-sized snack.

 

Now... if Biden makes the VA reverse course and totally and completely cover veterans’ transitions up to and including surgery? That would be something. But I’ll believe that when I see it.

Legally, you're entirely correct.  However, tradition in modern elections is that the winner and loser graciously accept the unofficial results reported on or close to election day, unless those results are within 1 percent or less.  That has been accepted by both party's candidates for 40-50 years.  It was accepted by Pres. Trump in 2016, who was very happy to proclaim victory on election night, and again within the last day or two when the media "proclaimed" that Trump won 3 electoral votes in Alaska.  So you can hang your hat on the legalities if you want.  You're not technically wrong.  But please spare us the high moral ground.

I’m not sure to what high ground you’re referring, but that sounded like a thinly-veiled personal attack. 
 

*Traditionally*, candidates released their tax returns to the public, though that’s not mandatory either. 
 

He’s well within his rights to seek recounts in close states and it sounds like he is doing exactly that. Just today, NPR said Georgia was going to do a complete, by-hand recount.

 

Like I said before... I hope every single challenge comes out in Biden’s favor. I really and truly do. That way, when there’s no more big, orange boogeyman, the dnc will have no one on whom to blame their vast failures. 
 

And when (not if) the country crumbles further, I’ll watch it all with a warm bowl of popcorn and a satisfied look of “I told you so” on my face.

 

You know, those freaking out over the 2016 election (to this day) promised me guaranteed nuclear war started by a man who shouldn’t have the nation’s nuclear codes. 
 

I’m still waiting. But I’ve yet to see any war.

This is pointless.

 

When someone chooses to place more trust in a random "social media" personality who verifiably makes a habit of twisting and abusing context to make successfully trending videos, than they place in...any other source whatsoever...and they resolutely stand by that decision...then all hope for them is lost.

 

You can't help an addict who doesn't choose to accept help.

 

Just walk away...

It's ironic you point to *one* allegedly out of context clip in four 15+ minute videos as  "verifiably making a habit."

 

It's as though you haven't watched any mainstream media sources since Trump announced his candidacy, let alone got elected. They have not only made a "verifiable habit" of taking the president out of context, they've also made a "verifiable habit" of reporting outright lies about him. How else do you explain the moderator of the first debate last month asking Trump to "denounce white supremacy," despite the president having done so 35+ times since his campaign began...with one of those 35+ times being the very debate that same moderator also moderated between Trump and hillary in 2016?

 

Please explain that one to me. 

 

Regarding your hope comment... talk about some extreme irony. Yes walk away because you cannot explain that which I have asked you to explain. That's because while there is a very real and verifiable explanation (rampant and overt media bias) you refuse to acknowledge it.

 

There's a word for that -- "denial," which makes your comparison of me to an addict even more ironic.

And? Recounts aren't decided by past averages. There are 70-ish days for recounts and legal challenges. Since I'm fairly certain of us is psychic, we're all in the same "wait and see" situation... much I'm waiting those nukes I was promised way back in 2016.

Just saying those are a lot of votes for the Trump side to throw out. 

 

And Trump needs more than just Georgia. If his nuisance lawsuits are thrown out in the other states and he wins GA he still loses, 290-232 I think. 

 

Georgia and Arizona getting flipped doesn't do it either. Add Wisconsin and I think we finally get to that tie scenario. 

 

Yes, if Trump is able to gain tens of thousands of votes in 3 or more states he has a chance.

 

So if we get to a point where the GA recount is the only thing left, I hope Biden, in a bid for unity, will promise Trump that he really secretly won GA and we can all move ahead with our traditional democratic process.

We need to stop thinking we are going to get everything, or at the least, 25% of what the democrats say they are going to do for us. You have to look into the past to see that democrats have lied more to get into office and each time they got in we paid more taxes, cost of living goes up tremendously but pay barely moves up. Do you really think anything will change if democrats control the Presidency? I think we, the LGBT community, will still have to fight for rights and for fairness. Nothing will change. It has already been accepted that republicans won't change things for us so there is no expectations. We can only fight in the courts for what is right for us. You want to believe the national min wage will be 15.00/hr. That is an unrealistic view and may never see light. Would you want to go to McDonald's and spend 30.00 for 1 hamburger meal? Would you willing to pay close to 10,000.00 for a single room apartment that measures 200-600 sq ft?  Those types of questions you need to ask yourself before you give your support to democrats. The amounts are just a guess so don't think of them as fact but a possibility of what could happen.

As I have already said, I don't really expect much from a potential Biden administration.  But it would be kinda nice if this stuff didn't keep happening.

Yeah, I won't hold my breath either.

I feel lucky that this regime hasn't already taken what we have.

 

As for Trump's personal beliefs, if any, he seems to be perfectly fine with playing to anyone if it will help him.

Probably an exaggeration, whatever, I get the point.

The Covid pandemic showed us who the real "essential workers" are.  Strange how nobody realized it before (except them).  Funny how these are the lowest paying jobs for the most part.  Maybe that hamburger is worth more than people realize?

Jandi, I hope that last comment was a joke? You know that couldn't be true? I have been around for 51 years and have seen things that lets me understand a bit more than someone who is 20-30 years old. I can tell you the messages don't change. Only the faces do.

...which is exactly my point. There are enough battleground states still in play for one reason or another. 
 

What Biden should do is side with Trump and demand every legal situation be fully investigated and resolved before declaring himself the winner. That is, after all, what he promised to do. It seems he’s already begun lying and he’s not even in office yet. 
 

Yet another example of rampant and overt media bias.

Sweetie, Jandi's 70. Also no ageism, K?

 

I have to weigh in on this...and admittedly, I’m struggling hard to be...diplomatic, especially since I’m merely an outside observer into the interaction.

 

Not every word in the English language needs to have an “ism” associated with it. This is why outsiders don’t take our community or those who would side with us seriously. Pointing out the sheer mathematical and chronological fact that someone on their 50’s has seen more than someone in their 20’s is not “ageism.” It’s simple math/chronology. 
 

Ageism is *discrimination* based on age, and can go both ways. Simply telling someone you’ve been around longer than they have is not discrimination, it’s being descriptive and informative. 
 

Having said that and seen that Jandi is, in fact, older than Mia (thus making the majority of my response kinda moot), it would seem to me that the better response would have been from Jandi to the effect of “Yeah...I’ve got 20 years on you, slick.” 

 

We, as a community, need to be able to respond to criticism and differing opinions without accusing our opponents of an “ism” or a “phobe.” Such accusations ruin the chance for meaningful debate and discussion as they exist solely to shut down the other person and the debate as a whole. To me, it’s the equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and going “la la la.” 
 

I’ve seen such reactions increasingly in recent years and, as a former journalist who also aced her college debate class, it saddens me. Whenever I see an otherwise informative or spirited debate devolve into “you’re just an ‘ist/phobe’!” I just roll my eyes.

 

In fact, such a practice has even spawned its own buzzword — “istaphobe.” And I’ve seen numerous instances where such an accusation is levied and the target of the accusation, in turn, highlights the fact that the accused is “a snowflake” who can’t debate honestly.

 

Those accusations are no better than the names we get called by our small-minded detractors.

I pay almost that now... but that’s when you factor in the tip and such because I use Doordash. I don’t get out much.

      ss,   I can't say that my image in the mirror has helped me understand why I am bi-gender.  I'm pretty certain the reason I identify as bi-gender  has to do with how I feel inside.  About mirrors though, I do clearly see my inner woman when I look at myself in the mirror.

      The tornado called Taylor ripped through Bob's apartment. After a trip to a laundromat, two trips to grocery stores for cleaning supplies and what Taylor opined were Basic Staples, everything was scrubbed within an inch of its life.  A new dish  drainer with a new hand towel and dish cloth were by the side of the scrubbed out sink; motorcycle parts were in a box under the newly made bed.  Floor, shower, toilet, sink had been hit in the bathroom and new towels hung there the way Taylor liked them. "I don't recognize the place/" "So move out." Taylor was sitting on one of the new kitchen chairs.  There were four of them around the little wooden table.  In the middle was a flower arrangement.  Bob had made his last trip to the dumpster.  Not a pizza box remained. A row of card board boxes with books had been replaced by shelves full of neatly arranged books. "Look at this." "I am not going to do this all the time.  You clean your own place from now on. I am bushed." "Many thanks, babe." "No problem, Big Guy." "Hey, I wanted to talk to you about exercise.  Karate in particular."  He pronounced it ka-ra-tay. "I am a second Dan black belt and there is a certain obligation there to teach other people." "Kara-tay? I don't know." "A friend of mine runs a dojo here and needs my help. He talked to me already.  Tuesday and Thursday night and Saturday mornings." "Oh.  So you will be there then." She looked disappointed. "I'm hoping you will be there." "Sounds dangerous.  But I could use the exercise." "And self-defense would be good. It might help." "It might. Huh.  Saturday morning?" "8 AM I need to be there. Classes run until noon. I don't need to be there the whole time." "Is there an intro class or anything?" "Yes. 10 to 11." "How about if I try that."  She was not very enthusiastic.  Punches and kicks and stuff.   Saturday morning they arrived together.  She wanted to watch the Green Belt class that met then just to see what she was in for. Sensei Mark came to the front of the room, before the big American and Japanese flags. Between them was a picture.  "I am honored to introduce to you Sensei Bob.  He is a second Dan black belt.  He has actually beaten me in tournaments.  I have known him through tournaments.  You will listen to him as you listen to me.   Sensei Bob, take the class. The two sensei bowed to each other.  Sensei Bob pointed out that Sensei Mark had beaten him, as well. Taylor was sort of standing against the back wall, scrunched up, a mouse in her crisp new beltless gi.  Her t-shirt was off white underneath it and she was hoping no one would notice. "I am Sensei Mark. You are Taylor." "Yes, sensei!" she stood at attention and shouted it. He laughed.  "This is not Cobra Kai and we are not in a Karate Kind movie.  You do that here only between bows.  Bob tells me you are a complete beginner." "That is an understatement." "Here, let me fix your gi."  She had it on a little incorrectly.  She drew back. "What's the matter?" "I am pretty touchy." "Okay.  Untie the straps in front and tie them the other way, like mine." "I don't have a belt." "There. That is right. You will get a belt after three months and passing tests on kata, kumite and karate knowledge." "I don't know what that is." "And we touch a lot here.  Not romantically. You see how Sensei Bob is going around and adjusting people's stances and arm locations." "Yes, I see that." No enthusiasm. "You are Sensei Bob's girl, right?" "Yes.  What is important to him is important to me, so here I am."  He wished her well and told her to go see Margie, who handled registration at the little table. "Hi, I heard about you." Margie began. "What does that mean?" "It means we treat everyone here with respect.  That was the wrong way to start." "I'll say. Try again." "Good morning. How can I help you?" "I want to register for the beginner class." "You are Taylor, right?" "Right." "Sensei Bob paid for your lesson today." He would. She gave name, address, age, height, weight, and they came to gender. Margie asked it twice. "Put down female." "The only other choice is male." "Then that is it." "Earlier I was thinking about tournaments, which are big here. The rules are that boys fight boys and girls fight girls - there are Men's and Women's Divisions.  I know you look like a woman, but they go by the birth certificate." This was awkward.  Really awkward.  Down at the other end of the room they were moving in unison when Bob said HAI!, turning, punching, kicking, etc. "I don't plan to go to tournaments.  One step at a time, shall we?" "Okay.  And I meant it when I said respect.  We bow to each other.  You will see. As a sign of honoring other people." Margie bowed slightly, sitting down.  Taylor returned the bow and smiled. The class moved into sparring, breaking into twos and practicing moves against each other.  Bob was moving among the pairs, adjusting positions of hands, hips, feet.  Taylor was unsure about someone touching her like that, her hips particularly.    The green belt class ended as new students came in for the beginners' class. Down at the other end the brown belt class began.  The room was large enough you could do two classes at the same time.   The other beginners, nervous, lined up at Margie's table.  People got into gis, the men in their big area and only woman in the little restroom that was for them.   Sensei Mark greeted them and showed them where to stand: on the little x's on the floor. He explained the School Code.  They would recite it at the beginning of class and they needed to memorize it for the white belt test, at which time they would, of course, receive a white belt. He explained some terms.    They warmed up with some basic, easy stretches.   They learned a kata called Taikyoku Shodan, involving blocks, punches and some movements. This was not bad.   She was now paired off with Judy.  Things were going well and this was not too bad. Judy was sixty years old and had been told to exercise by her doctor.  Taylor said her boyfriend was teaching the other class, which was impressive, and he wanted her involved.   "You remember the gedan barai - downward block?"  They did. Everyone showed him and he went around and made sure everyone had it down. "And the lunge punch?"  They did. "Now we are going to put them together. One of you will punch and the other block it. Okay?"   Taylor squared off against Judy.  Her heart was pounding.  She practiced her gedan barai as Judy practiced her lower lunge punch.  Then they faced each other. "Okay, first partner, lunge punch.  Second partner, lower block.  Slowly.  Go!" Taylor saw the punch coming at her, but instead of blocking it her eyes welled up with tears and she dropped to the floor, weeping uncontrollably. "Oh God, Oh, God, Oh God, make it stop, make it stop" she shouted to parties unseen. Fetal position, rocking back and forth. Crying hysterically. "I didn't go near her," Judy said, bewildered. "Taylor?"  this was Sensei Bob.  Both classes had stopped and were looking at her. She kept crying. "I am here, "Bob told her, not touching.  "Oh Bob you need a wife who can be a real woman to you. I am making you into a monk or something." And she continued crying at full volume. "You need someone better than me, someone who can give you kids." Everyone could hear this.  They were turning away, trying to pretend they could not hear this. "I need to get her out of here and take her." Bob said, and he and Mark bowed to each other. He scooped her up and she bawled into his shoulder.  She clung to him.  First hug ever. Death grip, more like it. "Judy, would you get her things?" "I did nothing," Judy said, and moved towards the restroom, stunned.  "Nothing." "I know what she was wearing," Margie said, and got them. "I've got a gym bag. It 's red and it says Roosters on it. Can you get it? Mark got it.  He accompanied them to the car.  Taylor was non-stop crying deeply, clinging to him for dear life. Mark unlocked the car and together they managed to pry Taylor off of him, even though it took both of them to do it.  She was in the car seat and they managed to buckle her in it. "I am going to take you to your apartment," he said. "No. Emergency room," she said. "Maybe the psych ward."  He didn't doubt it. She calmed down in a few minutes on the way. "Well, that was embarrassing." "Everyone remembers their first day of karate class." "Bob, what I love about you is your sense of humor." "I love everything about you." "Even this?" "Yes. Even this." She managed to walk into the ER.  They were both still in gis. "Karate accident?" "No. I am Taylor and I am a nut. I wear a gi all the time. I make my boyfriend wear one, too." "She had a triggered event.  She's had some difficult times." "I see. Do you you know are bleeding?" "No."  Her crotch was wet with blood and the blood was seeping down both legs. She was wheeled away. "Sir, please wait here." He did.  He had no legal right to see her right now. After a while a nurse came out and said he could come on  back. There she was in a hospital gown.  "Seems like old times." "yeah.  We gotta stop meeting like this." The nurse buzzed around and left them. "They are running tests." "I bet they are." "I got an MRI. On a Saturday morning, too."  First ever. "You rate.  But why?" "They figure some of the old scar tissue - you know, from the- from the past - ripped open and they need to see what is going on." "We know what is going on,"said a doctor, stepping in. He looked at her. "I am Doctor Michaels.  They called me in.  I just happened to be in the building and they wanted me to see this and take the case.  My specialty is Disorders of Sexual Development. But what I am seeing is little in the way of disorder.  Look at this." They looked at the image. "This is a perfectly ordinary uterus." "Uterus?" "Yes, your uterus." "What?" "That is not all.  This is a cervix, and this is a vagina." "It's blocked up." "Yes.  It looks like you had surgery to do exactly that when you were an infant.  They used to do that." "This is me?" "You." "Really?" "I imagine this takes some getting used to. "Can it be undone?" "Absolutely. I mean, I cannot guarantee it, but it is more than likely. I would like to run some tests." "And the bleeding?" "It looks like the hormones you have been taking have kicked of a regular monthly cycle. Then you did a whole bunch of exercise.  Not surprising." "What?" "I want you to come to my office next week for follow-up.  Have you ever had a genetic test of any sort?" "No." "Well, your testes - one looks at first glance more like an ovary." "Ovary. Can I have kids?" "Too soon to tell.  You look happy." She did.  "Bob, you look stunned." "I am." "Given what happened earlier today we want to keep you overnight for observation.  I understand you are a trauma victim and something triggered it." "I got a punch thrown at me in kara-tay class, is all. I am a wimp." "Well, I will let you two talk for a minute and they will come and get you shortly.  No bad news here." "They are coming to take me away, hah-hah, they are coming to take me away," Taylor chanted. "Bob, I am not done with kara-tay.  I want to at least finish a first class. I mean, you paid for it and I want you to get your money's worth." "I think I got that." "Kiss me, you fool,"  she said, and he did, with energy.

      The one thing about this position, if you want more hours just wait and be flexible.  I’m now working until 7:30 pm instead of 4:30.

      Welcome Mattie! I would recommend the first step is finding a gender therapist and see if you are or aren't. Then one of the biggest steps if you are do you want to start hormone replacement therapy. The decision should be thought long and hard. There are irreversible effects. Looking forward to your next post! Take care!
