Texas Congressional Candidate "Uncomfortable" Around Trans Students

It is so heart-warming that this Texas congressional candidate thinks she just has the most perfect vision and deserves to be elected. It makes you wonder how much she really cares about the kids she is teaching. I can imagine her ripping into some poor kid who is different and then mocking the kid later. The other thing that is amazing is how many of these narcissists go running around trying to prove they are in someway "tougher" because they do not like anybody who is different. 

 

Either on a local, regional, state, or national level, you have to shake your head at the dismal state of politics in this country. Are folks like this, truly allowed to be candidates? I wonder. This woman is supposed to have an education...

Erica,

 

You raise a great point. It is a sad commentary though. I just cringe thinking of some child trying to go to a teacher for some help and support, then having that cold, hard attitude tearing the child apart. I do not know what the answers are.

I know not all texans are bad people, but as someone on the outside looking in, does anything good ever come from Texas?  Over the last year or so I've watched as Texas tried to interfere in our elections in Michigan, as they did all they could to take away the right (and duty) to vote from minorities, as they tried to end-run around the constitution and supreme court  with the anti-abortion law, as young kids had to get up in front of their legislature to defend their own existences and now we have former teachers saying they didn't understand why it was wrong to allow other kids to make fun of trans kids, and this is just the stuff I remember...

It is such a pity that we have become such an easy target for political hate speech.  There has always been a history of belittling others for political gain instead of finding a way to move towards an inclusive society designed to support all.

Hate is too easily brought to folks.

 

Hugs,

Dangerous generalization. I’m from Texas. And you know what? It’s not nearly as bad here as the media would have you believe.

No they didn’t. 


Why is it we can expect an ID to drive, to fly, to open a checking account, to stay at a hotel, to buy alcohol, buy a firearm… but not to vote?

fair enough, "does anything good ever come from texas" was a bit of hyperbole and does make an unfair generalization.  Hard not to get angry though, when what those of us outside texas do hear are things like the governor is ordering parents of trans kids to be hunted down and prosecuted for child abuse.  It did come out later that a court did block that order so I do have hope that reason will prevail.

 

as for voter ID, that's not specifically what I was talking about (I agree you should need an ID of some kind to vote).  It was the actions taken to severely limit access to polling places and by fighting to eliminate the ability to vote by absentee ballot during peak covid.  From everything I had read at the time most of the places heavily affected by those efforts were largely minority populations.  republican lawmakers did the same thing in ohio and I recall some tried to do it here in michigan as well if that helps make it less of a texas-specific issue.  So  perhaps that particular thing was unfair as well since that is more of a republican politician thing.

 

So I do apologize for being a bit hyperbolic and snarky and for attributing an issue that is occurring across the country to texas in particular.  I'm sure the only news people hear about michigan are that we all want to kidnap the governor and that there are more pot dispensaries than grocery stores in our cities (this is kind of true in places).

Yeah… this was the subject of at least 1.5 of my trans support group meetings. At first I thought he was just shooting his mouth off. Then I found out he actually put out an order.

 

And though it’s already being challenged, two major hospitals have already begun turning patients away.

 

That is infuriating. I’d sure love to know when “dead kids” became preferable to “trans kids.”

You should have seen the sea of people in line for testing, or at sporting events, or shopping.

 

I’d say voting is easily more important than any of those things.

True.  Unfortunately too many people would rather bitch about things than vote.

Indeed.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      April sounds fun..I keep some boy jeans to visit mom in..fir now   hugs

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
    • KathyLauren
      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie
