I knew that I'd get your attention with that!

I live in a part of the USA that has lots of Amish...

Buggys, bonnets, beards...yep! Those Amish...

Electrolysis?

My electrologist lives in this area..although 50 miles north....

She told me the she has some Amish clients... ????????????????

Yep! some of the women...blew my socks off...had no idea.....

BUT!

She has been doing electrolysis for ten years...and never had a Trans client...

Until me....

SOoooo.....

As a BIG surprise this morning she told me that she had called a colleague in the city who has had a bunch of Transgender clients....

She said "Tell me about Transgender people".....

Well, this morning on the bed all ready to get my electrolysis...she says .....

"I know all about Transgender people now.... "

And she proceeded to tell me all about the things she had learned...she was SO proud...

And I love her SO much.......

She asked me ...."Do you want me to call you Donna Jean?"

She said.."You can come dressed if you want.....

I told her .."Call me what ever you're comfortable with.."

God! I LOVE this woman....

What a sweetheart....

Sometimes life hands you the Lemonade.............no mixing required...

Good 'ole Donna Jean

I'm so happy for you, but how do you do electrolysis on an Amish Lady?

Just get a needle really, really hot in a flame and then stick it in a folicle before it can cool?

I mean - they don't use electricity!

Well, they say they don't.

Love ya,

Sally

Yes, Hon...........

I was so VERY impressed and honored that she would to go to the trouble to find out all about me...

And as I lay there she proceeded to tell me all kinds of things that I already knew, but I wasn't about to interrupt her! She was enjoying using her new found knowledge!

Well I thought she might have looked you up in Wikipedia, but it must have come from somewhere else because this is what i found:

Minx

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As well as its dictionary meaning of a pert, flirtatious or impudent young woman, minx may refer to:

Hillman Minx, a car

Minnie the Minx, a comic character

Slinkee Minx, an Australian dance act

an archaic spelling of mink

MinX, the British TV channel from Chart Show Channels

Minx, Toyah Willcox's first solo album

Minx (comics), a DC Comics imprint

Short for Megaminx, a puzzle similar to Rubik's Cube

Minx cat, a misspelling of Manx cat

Minx, a character in Zork

Minx, a sweetheart of a girl at Laura's

LOLOLOLOL! I can hear the sssssssssssssssssssssssssssss now. OUCH!

Maybe it doesn't count as using electricity if someone else is using it on you. Technically is benefiting from the electricity, but not using it directly. What I find even more intriguing is that an Amish person would do something that, at least for cisgender people, is mostly cosmetic. Like...my dad has talked about getting electrolysis for his ear hair, but that's because he's a vain dude.

The Amish are everywhere...

You have to drive carefully as they clip-clop down the road in their buggys...The are stopped in 1699...

They have no electric to their houses

You will be driving along and see a phone booth in a cornfield by the road...they can use it, but not have in their house...

They're incredible carpenters...I had them build an addition on my place for half of the money that a contractor wanted and in half of the time!

They can ride in a vehicle...they just can't own or drive one...

They can't have pneumatic tires on their buggys, only hard tires (Soft tires are considered a luxury)

They speak German among themselves and un-accented English to us....

They call everyone else "English"

You may notice that The Amish men have a beard, but no mustache...They were persecuted

by people with mustaches in the 1600's so that is the only thing that they shave!

The kids are allowed a radio in their room...only powered by a car battery...

Around the age of 18 the kids are allowed to basically go "Wild" and have a year to decide if they will stay in the community...most do. BUT........

It's rather odd to go by a bar in the country and see buggies tied all along the parking lot...The kids get roaring drunk...then their friends pour them in the buggy and slap the horse on the butt!

On Sunday mornings you'll see a horse grazing in an Amish front yard with a passed out kid in in the buggy....

They WILL NOT fight you although most Amish are quite strong from all of the manual labor that they do!

They shop in WalMart just like everyone else....

Not only do the kids at WalMart go out and bring in the shopping carts..the have to shovel....well, you know...

You must watch your step in most parking lots around here (horses!)

They look at me like I'm weird....I look at them like they're weird.....lol

They are very loving and hard working people...

If there is a fire and a house or barn burns down..the entire community rebuilds a new one in a couple of days...

I put all of this here because I realize that a lot of you have no idea about them and only what you see in the movies...They are quite common around these parts...

Now....where did I lay my bonnet???

That's a lot of info! Wow...

There are people driving around in horses and carriages in my home town too, but for different reasons. Tourism.

There is a group of people who are like Amish (but not quite) out in South Carolina. I think they are called Mennonites. I ate at this Mennonite restaurant one time. Whatever they believe, they can make some good fried chicken.

I remember that I had this laser pointer I was playing with at the restaurant. The Mennonite kids were AMAZED by it.

The Mennonites have a community in Arkansas as well.

I don't know if there are still any Shakers but they were in Kentucky and one of their communities is preserved at Pleasant Hill as a museum and is operated to show the Shaker's way of life, including manufacturing simple but sturdy furniture and the meals are from original Shaker recipes - have the Lemon Pie if you get a chance!

Their great meeting hall had two entrances because the men and women were separated at all times - children were adopted - that is a fact, my knowledge of the Shakers was due to an orphaned Great Great Grandmother - raised by them.

Love ya,

Sally

There is a Mennonite community near my uncle's home. He was born in Tennessee and in his retirement years has decided to move back. Apparently he and the mennonites have a very close relationship. I'm of the understanding (via his stories) is that they don't allow "outsiders" to live in the area populated by their community, however, because the trust level was so high, apparently one of the leadership said that if he so desired he could and that they would build him a house. I say all of that so that you have a basis for the next part of the story..... Along the way one my cousins, his grandson came to visit. He was 17 or 18 and had visited on several previous occasions. On this particular visit, one of the Mennonite daughters presented him with a gift. Unbeknowst to him, apparently this "gift" is symbolic in their community. Accepting it was basically saying that he was agreeing to an engagement :P:lol: I don't think there's ever been a teenage boy that made it to the Mennonite area that fast; he not only returned the gift he hasn't been back to visit in 3 years LOL

      WOW @Ashley0616 it’s good that you have skills to treat traumatic injuries, as well as the ability to remain calm while managing others needs to get yourself and the boys ready to go to the hospital. Proud mama bear skills. I’m glad that he’s doing well.    Meanwhile back at the ranch, we slept in and I’m just now finishing my 3rd cup of coffee.    Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Well yesterday was not fun. I was getting ready to make dinner and I hear screaming and crying. I look over and my son put his foot through glass. He gashed near his Achilles tendon. Thankfully that is intact. I didn't freeze for a second. All of my military training came into play. I doctored him up and got Jett ready and myself and we headed to the ER. He is doing ok today. He says he is in pain but doesn't need Tylenol. He is a tough cookie!

      Hi,   It's seems today is my trans birthday.  I'm beyond excited. Just picked up my testogel from the pharmacy. Although I naturally have doubts as I'm sure do we all, they are rapidly disappearing. Yesterday I was so nervous I kept claiming I'm not trans, despite grinning like a fool knowing I can pick up my prescription the next day. I'm shaking and on the verge of happy tears. I will put on my first sachet this eve. Thanks so much to this forum and kind words from people. This is the first forum I found when I began seriously questioning.

      Project 2025

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      While the Soviet Union did not end up being the source of all evil, I believe that history has shown that Joe McCarthy generally was right. There ARE all kinds of Marxists slithering around. And if that had been dealt with firmly 75 years ago (or more) the nation wouldn't be in the shape that it's in now.    And while I generally oppose the idea of intervening in foreign affairs, the world probably would have been better off if we had taken care of issues in Russia and defeated the Bolshevik Menace back in 1919. God bless the memory of Admiral Kolchak.   Getting back to project 2025, my belief is that Republican efforts are inappropriately focused on trans folks. A minority of a minority does not wreck a nation. But it is easier to focus on trans folks because they can look like they're doing something. They don't have to address the real problems, and really they don't want to address them because they would have to address themselves.  They would also need to admit that the 50 State version of the USA cannot be saved.

      @Willow things went pretty well on Monday. I have been working on the project all week long. I've been hanging out with my husband a lot, since he said that nobody would mind because I'm working on company stuff. My work is going slowly, but it is going. Rather better than I had hoped.   I ended up waking up late this morning. After 18 months of only working on house chores, not really used to doing anything else. Actually a little bit tired

      Getting back to this… I've seen objections to Critical Race Theory, but simply "critical theory" is a new one on me.  I think we need to be "critical" about a lot of things, or at least examine why we believe what we do about them.  If they stand up under scrutiny, great.  If not perhaps we need to look at something else.   Not all socialists are Soviet Russian Communists. I have read very little Marx myself.  That kind of writing bores me quickly.  But I think there are legitimate concerns about unfettered capitalism.  There are countries that seem to do well on a mixture of capitalism and socialism.  But I am no Tankie.   The Red Scare kinda morphed into the Lavender Scare, and now we have this Transgender Scare.   The thing is, most people are scared to get to know any of the people they are scared of. I'm not scared of evangelical christians.  But I am a little scared of what they seem ready to do to me, because they are scared of me. I am not a scary person - don't want to be.  I'm just an old trans woman trying to mind my own business, and get with what's left of my life. And the 2025 project seems to be designed to make that difficult.
