ok first off, i wanna say that i feel bad coz its like i only ever post when its about me :P

Second. Im 100% out now. all my family and friends know! WOOT WOOT! no more hiding! new life begins now! :D

dads reaction was great. he even offered to take me shopping for clothes and make up. but i already have that stuff so i didnt need to lol. all this time i was so scared of how he would react and BOOM he was perfectly fine with it!

So advice to all you future commer outers, when you think your rents will react badly, i rekon theres a good chance they will be more accepting that you think. my dad was the kind of person you wouldnt tell anything to because he is so racist and anti everything. but look at him! open arms i tellz ya!

dont be afraid. courage is key!

Lots of love

I;m new here so we don't know eachother but I'm SO proud of you and envious of you that you did such a thing.

I would still accept the offer with your dad to take you out shopping just for that new bonding experience between the 2 of you and he'd probably buy you some awesome things!

Hope all goes well for you :)

Ashlee that's fantastic you are completely out, i was scared to tell my 89 year old religious stepfather but he accepted and is my biggest supporter.

I would take him up on his offer, a girl can't have too many clothes or makeup.

HUGS!

That is awesome news.

One of the main things I learned from all this is never underestimate parents. I never thought mine would accept this but they have been great.

STUPENDOUS NEWS (I don't get to use that word too often, lol)

I'm with Paula and Donna Jean, it would be so cool to go shopping with your dad.

Who cares if you don't need anything. Just to be with him as father and daughter -

now THAT's something!

      We have been asked to bring the following to the attention of our members. Please note that you would need to send an email to receive the actual survey link.   Seeking Interview Participants for Research Study on Digital Spaces of Transgender Belonging What is the Study About? Over the past several decades, the Internet has fundamentally changed how trans people form community spaces, explore gender identity, and practice community care. My dissertation will evaluate trans people's relationships to digital trans spaces, and I am conducting interviews as part of this research study. Who Qualifies? To qualify for this study, you must: • Be 18 years of age or older, • Identify as transgender or otherwise gender nonconforming (such as, but not limited to, nonbinary, genderqueer, genderfluid, agender, or Two-Spirit), • Have sought out online transgender resources or communities, AND • Currently live in the United States. What Does It Involve? A brief (five minute) screening survey, later followed by a virtual interview lasting approximately one hour. You will receive $75 after participating in an interview as compensation for your time. Your participation in this interview is completely voluntary. If you choose to participate, you will be asked to reflect on your history with trans online communities and resources. Data Usage and Confidentiality Policy This research study is being conducted as part of a Ph.D. dissertation, which will be published. Raw or identifiable data, including interview transcripts and recordings, will not be made publicly available. Analysis from this study may be presented publicly or included in future publications. Further, your confidentiality will be respected during this study. The data collected for the study will be de-identified prior to any analysis, publication, or report resulting from the study. Identifying documents, such as consent forms, will be stored separately from all other data on a password-protected computer. If you are selected for an interview, we will review these policies and your rights in greater detail. Interested in participating? Email [email protected] to receive a link to the screening survey. Want to learn more about the study? Visit the study's website at: https://sites.google.com/view/transdigitalstudy/about-the-dissertation Lead Researcher: Theodore Davenport (he/they), Ph.D. Candidate at the Department of Geography, University of Washington.

      This will head for a court case and the notable fact that the people opposing puberty blockers is that they have not revealed their source and its competence.  It will be present the evidence and let your "experts" sit on the grill above the hot coals.

      Pretty typical for many nations.... corrupt police, and only great effort by the victim's family will eventually yield prosecution.  Conviction is uncertain, and sentencing even more so.

      Welcome to Trans Pulse, Bobbi.  It's nice to meet you.  I remember well all the emotions you mentioned upon starting on this journey, about 15 years ago now.  It's an exciting, albeit scary time, and there will be many questions and decisions along the way.  Any way we can help, all you need to do is ask.  We'll be here for you.   HUGS   Carolyn Marie

      Everyone is their own person and has their own way of operating in the world. Being “enough” isn’t for anyone to judge, outside of maybe our closest loved ones, and definitely not those that are trying to measure themselves high by cutting others down. They know I wouldn’t succeed for very long—or at all—keeping my life bifurcated as you, but I am happy you are content with where you’re at with yourself.

      My kids are grown now.  I realize I don't know the half of what they did.  But my parents didn't know the half of what I did either.  It's just how it works.   You kinda know, but please spare me the details.

      May more doors open up with more advantageous employment. 🤞

      Thank you, @Mmindy!

      @MaeBe, Good luck and best wishes on the new start in the Great Northwest. I don’t know a parent that didn’t call out their kids for being drunk or high as rebellious teenagers. I just told my teens that they can’t kid a kidder, and I was a teenager early 1970s we could drink legally at 18 so I have tons of experience spotting drunk kids.    As for the poetry, I liked it.  We never have enough support bras or tee shirts in the rotation.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Oh my @KymmieL, I’m sorry you’re on the job hunt again. They didn’t seem to be a good fit for you anyway. You deserve to be treated fairly and not undermined by competing owners who don’t communicate well.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
