Twenty women. 20. All in amateur leagues. Really focusing on the big picture issues across the pond.   They had to get out ahead of this "major issue", can't we see all the trans women keeping cis women off of teams and the score sheet! God forbid a trans woman turned pro, the world might end. Never mind the science, it just feels right.

omg that sounds AMAZING!!! happy for you enjoy your weekend <3

Intersex aka DSD (Differences in Sexual Development) are actually the key to Trans and other parts of human sexuality that gives the big picture that we are a wide spectrum of human cell development and not just two tidy boxes.  The reason that IS / DSD people are not talked about, or even educated about is that it seemed too easy to "Cure" by surgical means and some really goofy ideas about how sexuality as a whole came into being, especially when it is rammed into human identity and behavior.

Thank you for your insight 

I would guess that the vast majority of people don't know what intersex is. Not just politicians. I didn't know what intersex was until I started to figure out that's what I am. And we certainly haven't been publicized, even in the current debates about trans people. 

anything that is coming from  Washington DC is lies

NPR is running a piece on this too right now: https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2025/05/01/nx-s1-5383599/transgender-gender-affirming-care-trump-hhs   Early on it mentions the authors of this so-called report or study are not named to "maintain the integrity of the post-publication peer review process." Since when has this administration cared about integrity? My theory is that it is just 400 pages of copy pasta from SEGM as @Vidanjalisuggested - no peer review needed because there is no evidence, just conjecture and hyperbole and outright lies.   Love, ~Audrey.

How are you doing @Heather Shay?

To be honest. I didn't even realise nonbinary was on the trans spectrum till very recently. Although it makes perfect sense now. 

I did find a really nice therapist, I just don't have the money to pay for the services as my insurance won't cover them. Truthfully I know the answer is to get a divorce so I can be free to be myself. I'm not sure it would be fair to my wife. She has found another lump in the same breast she had cancer in after she finished all her radiation treatments. And yes putting it deep down inside isn't the answer as the feelings are still there. I was able to suppress the feelings for 25 years or so but now they're back and stronger than ever. 

Unfortunately they were missing from my order. I'm gutted. I've emailed them to see what is going on.  Thanks for asking though

LOL!    You have to ask?

Congratulations @KymmieL.  Sounds like things are good for you.

Back from my second day at my new job. Looks like I am going to be the lead girl. I will be the one who gets the HiSAT testing. And yes I did say girl as When I got in this morning my new boss asked me my preferred name and pronouns. I wound up telling her a little about my journey. My wife and oldest.  So, it is Kym at work here as well. My boss is totally accepting. Even telling me that her middle son is questioning.   Feeling great about the new job.   Kymmie

In a statement to Deadline, De Niro said: “I loved and supported Aaron as my son, and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter. I don’t know what the big deal is … I love all my children.”

@Mirrabooka, I honestly think they have.  Young people don’t know how to do anything that isn’t internet based.  they never read a newspaper, or had an unbiased news reporter.    

Forgot to add up above -- Keep it PG 13 or even G --   I have a bunch I cannot post here for just that reason.

How'd it go @Jake?
