Welcome to TransPulseForums @MyNameIsPaula   Like you I’m an older person as well and late in transition. I also like the way you didn’t totally rule out the possibility of taking your secret life outside.    Best wishes, stay positive and motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

Exactly. This is what happens when vehement "other-ness" is perpetuated and legislated. Kids follow the examples they're given and there are a whole lot of awful "role models" out there, from many in power down to parents who assimilate hateful rhetoric mindlessly. In that sense the perpetrators are victims too - that's not meant to diminish the impact of the terrible assault they committed - I'm just saying that level of hate rarely materializes spontaneously, free of influence. May God bless the victim and their family, and may everyone else involved learn a profound lesson from this incident.

Good morning everyone,    Today is the 80th Anniversary of D-Day we remember the commitment and sacrifice of the Armed Forces. Those who died. Those who survived and battled demons in silence, as well as those who keep the memories of their experiences alive. There’s a reason they were called “The Greatest Generation”.   Yea @Ashley0616 I hope you find love and companionship.    This morning Parker exited his crate and we walked to the back door and out to do his business without being lead on a leash. We walked our routine path in the backyard and he took care of business. We played tug-of-war and get your bear fetch, before returning inside for coffee and breakfast.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋    

They can tell themselves they are justified in their cruelty.

I get this.  I think I do "pass" better in low light.  But I am more likely to get in trouble at night as well.  I seldom go out at night.  But I'm pretty much a homebody anyway. This is also my experience. I've been "out" at least 6 years now.  I think I've only been called out twice, and neither time was violent.

Are there friendly websites out there that allows sharing of other LGBTQ+ website links that are not being acknowledged?

Nahh, I changed my mind, I'm not going to quit.

I've got 8 days of wired internet left.  I really only use the internet for my email, this forum and posting on my website.  I'll see how the wifi hotspot on my prepaid Verizon account with 5GB of data goes.  It is bytes and not bits, right?  I anticipate that they have some other limit on hotspot usage.  We'll see.  It should be interesting using my desktop computer exclusively with hotspot wifi.  I kind of like oscillating between lowfi and highfi.

It is the party of hate that should be prosecuted for this assault.  Rhetoric from the right wing has given those who might become bullies a cause.  The children involved in the attack are guilty but who made this an issue and put that child at risk.  What a pity that a target is on the back of those who try to pee in peace.   Hugs,   Charlize

Good morning.    well it rained this morning. That’s good, we need the rain. It’s been hot and dry.     Not much to say urologist appointment went as expected.  But I have another appointment in July for a cystoscope.  Now those are rather unpleasant if you’ve ever had one.  And if you haven’t, we’ll bless your heart sweetie.  lol. And if that is positive then surgery if it’s negative then who knows.   went out to dinner last night. Eating in today.   They go to Atlanta Friday sometime Friday for a Wedding. Eyob and Paul.
