Laura's Playground First Annual Transgendered Pride Day


Sally

Recommended Posts

Well today is August 2, 2009, the first Sunday in August and the date I arbitrarily selected to be Transgendered Pride Day.

WELCOME TO THE BIGGEST PARTY EVER!

Today is a day to shed all of the shame and guilt, today is the first day of your life with nothing but pride for being one of the few that have the strength to defy convention and dare to be yourselves.

So on this very special occasion I would like to offer this idea to everyone, this year our Pride Day is only on the Internet, but think about this for next year, we have 365 days to work with all of our local Transgendered Organizations to get the ball rolling to make this an actual event and not just virtual.

It is time to leave the dark hiding places and move out into the sunshine with pride, so follow me out to the picnic area and we'll get this party started.

To make it a true success, I want to see a post - nothing major requires just a "Hello, I came to the party" from everyone who comes on line today and then just look at how many of us there are here.

So moderators, to your places, just like or July 4th party.

Have a hot dog or two, plenty of burgers, pizza and B-B-Q and lots of desserts.

To everyone in the Playground, the Community and around the world:

HAPPY

TRANSGENDERED PRIDE

DAY!

Love ya,

Sally

Happy Transgendered Pride Day!

And a Hugg for each and every one who shows up.

I have to tell you, Sally...I went from being very ashamed of myself to being prideful of who and what I am!

This is GREAT.

Thank you.....

Now, lets get those Huggs out to everyone!

What a great idea!

Thank you for inviting me, I am very pleased to accept.

I already see a comment about underage drinking, that's cool, but for the older folks among us, may I bring an endless supply of painfully dry martinis? Olives, twists, onions available on the side, of course. I would very much like to toast some of my friends, heros and heroines here at Laura's, you know who you are....

Great idea Sally, i never thought a year ago I'd be where i am today, I'm on the verge of going full time. I got a Transgender necklace i wear with pride all the time and when somebody asks i tell them what it means to me and others.

I'm bringing the potato and macaroni salad, a bakery near me believe it or not makes the best i ever tasted, it's home made.

James! You ate 32 of Sally's double chocolate chip cookies! That's about four cups of sugar!

Get down off that ceiling fan!

Lizzy

Miners? We have Miners? I knew we had some gold-diggers, so I guess it's okay!

Why would miners like rootbeer? I thought they'd drink coffee because it is ground!

      I need to be my nest, but its freezing in here!  And GF is all curled up...she's gonna have to un-curl herself, because I'm gonna shiver to death without snuggles

      "A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the fool's back.  Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him."    Proverbs 26:4-5.....  possibly the first advice about spending time online

      Not of people usually, but places have a "color sense" to me.  Not exactly visual, but like a feeling.  Almost a taste or sometimes tactile.    My home, and the temple of my faith community both have a strong feeling of "silver."  A tasteable, nearly tactile radiance...it means safety, and I seek it out.  It kind of transfers to people associated with those places, like my husband.  I knew he was good the moment I met him.  Some places have a color sense like fire, a combination of red and orange.  As you might expect, it is an exciting or dangerous feeling.  Attractive in a way.  Part of me is drawn toward it, another part of me is skittish of it.  Other places have a blue/green color sense, which can be iridescent toward purple-ish.  Its peaceful and calm.    What I really don't like is a sickly, greenish-gray color.  I can't even describe it fully.  The sense is slimy, slick, cold and revolting.  To me, it is a feeling of intense danger about a place or a person.  I'm usually more oblivious to the other color senses, but this one grabs my attention.  To me, it is associated with pure evil.    One of my strongest impressions of the evil color it happened at a natural spring in a state park near where I live.  I was walking around with a friend and I felt it, and she thought I was totally crazy.  I wanted to leave so bad, just terrified.  Thankfully she followed me out.  I only found out later that a murderer had escaped from prison and was recaptured there...he had been living near the spring, and we were maybe within 200 yards of him.  My color sense probably saved our lives.

      Not exactly.  Me alone - I'm helpless and can hardly do anything.  But with my partners I'm protected and supported, and a lot more things are possible for me.    My husband teaches a lesson to his kids when they fight, I've seen him do this a couple of times.  He'll hand them a bundle of sticks tied together, and tell the kids to try to break it.  Of course, it doesn't work.  Then he takes the bundle apart, and tells them to break the sticks one by one.  One person alone is easily overwhelmed or broken.  Two or more people together can stand firm against adversity.

      When I joined it was purely a play on Maybe. Mae happens to have a couple letters in common with my given name and I started using it when introducing myself to strangers. Since then, actually yesterday, when I caught up with an old friend and told her about my transition she thought she heard "Maeve" when I said "Mae". I could still use Mae as a nickname, it works well with my mother's name as a middle name (she died in 2019 and I love the idea of connecting with her memory more), and my initials wouldn't change if I change my name. So, Maeve it will likely be unless something better comes along. ;)

      I've not had a lot of involuntary action in that department and I'm 6mo in. After 3mo. my T was under 30. My doc wanted labs mid-cycle (3-4 days after my shot) oddly, but I am going to insist on getting trough numbers to determine if T is pushing back when serum E is low. I almost felt like I was going to have MW yesterday morning when I woke up (day of my shot), so I get where your thoughts are on the subject. It would be good to know how long that suppression lasts, not that T&E levels are complete indicators--my doctor doesn't seem to have any plans to check for the broader spectrum of metrics I see a lot on forums like SHBG, etc.

      Take two   blood letting is complete it took two of them pesky little mosquitoes.   our dog came to us mostly potty trained. She had a few “I can’t wait” moments but for the most part she was good.  She learned to ask th be let out. We had a bell on the door and taught her to ring the bell.  Then she learned how to open the door herself.  As long as it wasn’t locked out she’d go.  We had her trained to a hidden fence and collar she would go to the limit and sit and wait for us to tell her it was ok. She has always responded to verbal commands or my whistles.   Oh and there are obvious negatives about a dog knowing how to open doors.  She would disappear and we’d suddenly see her out the window.  Or we’ would let her out and suddenly realize she was sitting with us.  She never learned to close the doors, only open then.
