Hi there

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I'm Bobbi and my pronouns are they/them. I live in the UK (but would much rather be elsewhere...)

 

I enjoy birdwatching (although I'm quite bad at memorising!) I'm learning Spanish and I also like rock climbing/bouldering in my spare time.

 

I use 'non-binary' to describe my gender. I'm currently trying to find ways to combine my masc and femme-ness in a way that feels good.

Spanish is a lovely language, I always said if I ever learned a second  language, I'd want it to be Spanish or Italian.

 

How are you going with it?. All I know is hola. lol

Good evening @bobbbbbi

I've been an avid bird watcher since my teen years. Don't worry about memorizing them in the beginning. Get a bird book that has a check list and identification picture with tel-tail indicators to look for. Here in the USA we have Peterson Field Guides that are divide the North America into sections for the birds in your region. I'm sure there are similar book in the UK. Unlike you I haven't taken up a second language. I really respect people who can speak multiple languages. I worked with one of my vendors to build a particular training prop for my company. This vendor is owned and operated by an immigrant from Mexico and his family all speak English as a second language. I asked the owner since he's the oldest of the family, if he dreams or thinks in Spanish then translates it to English? He admitted that is dreams are in Spanish. His thoughts are also in Spanish, and he has to think about how to phrase is English in the correct order.

Bien, graçias 🙂 I did some Spanish back in high school, so that has helped. I think it would probably be better if I were to chat more to Spanish speakers, though!

Thanks so much for the birding advice. One thing I've also been trying is a sound identification app, to learn how to identify calls. Particularly helpful if I'm just out and about and don't have my binoculars! Do you have a favourite place to go birdwatching?

 

Some of the youngest members of my family are bilingual, so they dream in both Spanish and English!

Good afternoon @bobbbbbi I'm glad you found us. How much Spanish have you learned so far?

Hello hello! So far I'm able to understand what people are saying but I'm not able to respond 😅

 

Do you speak any other languages? Or would you like to?

Welcome Bobbi.

 I enjoy watching the birds around the farm.  Since our farm is half wooded and sits next to one of the few extensive woodlots in NJ we have a great many types of birds passing through or nesting here.  My favorite is the bluebird.  I've built many houses for them and enjoy the vibrant blue flash!

As to spanish....non hablo?  Mais je parle un peu le français.  Fortunately this site is conducted in english.

 

Hugs,

 

Charlize

My favorite place to bird watch is my living room. I keep bird feeders full from Fall through Spring. I don’t feed them in the Summer, because they have plenty of natural food and don’t need the nutrients to stay warm then.

 

Hugs,

Welcome @bobbbbbi, It’s nice to have you on our forum. It may become a good support and/or resource for you in time. So if you have any questions or just want some good advice from others with similar experiences and/or back stories, feel free to start a thread.

 

We’re a very accepting group who enjoy helping others in our community. There are more than few here that identify as Non-Binary and may be able to answer any questions, share their story or assist you in some other way. This is also a great forum to meet people and to find friends with similar interests.

 

Thanks for sharing a little about yourself. I hope to see you around.

 

Warmest Regards,

Susan R🌷

      Well, my friends are out publicly. Openly transgender, and on HRT.  I agree that the survival of all of us is at stake.  But I think there are threats greater and more dangerous than those faced exclusively by LGBTQ folks.   Rising prices. Unaffordable food.  EPA strangling transportation and energy.  Needless foreign wars that put us at risk of literal nuclear annihilation.  A government that wants to tax us, track us, and control every aspect of our lives...including using us as guinea pigs for their medical experiments.     Trump is no savior.  Neither is the Republican party.  But I believe that a vote for Democrats in the federal government is for sure a vote for globalism and what follows it.  War, famine, plague, slavery, and death don't care if we're trans or cis.

      People who are out publicly, and openly transgender, maybe on HRT, having changed names and gender, have a lot to lose if anti-trans politicians take power.  They have openly called for our eradication, and promise to do everything they can to accomplish this.  (again, 2025) For someone in this position the election is about our survival.  It's foolish to delude ourselves into thinking "Oh, they don't really mean that.  It's all for show," or, "There's other more important things to concern ourselves with." Maybe for some people the other things take priority.  But if you have skin in the game, things look different.

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name.

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      Thank you so much April!

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.
