Earworms and rabbit holes. 🤨   This has been in my head for days. Only similar aged compatriots would have heard of this one, but several of you might know about LRB. This was an offshoot.   Then, the clip at 2:25 and 2:38 reminded me of this.   And I'll spend the rest of the night going deeper and deeper. 

Fascinating.  I've always loved the idea of theater but have not had the opportunity.  Dear friends did audio, visual design work for off broadway groups in NY.     Hugs,   Charlize

It sure sounds like it.  If you are able to, I would recommend talking to a gender therapist about this.  I realize that, in your country, getting help like that could be a problem for a teen.  You are certainly welcome to come here and vent, and to ask for advice. 

Hi, Katy.  Welcome.   I fully agree with the advice above: this is a police matter.     As a rule, we don't judge people's identities here.  Whether or not this person is on the trans spectrum is not relevant.  The only identity that matters is that he is a predator and he needs to be locked up.

I must admit i prefered to work in Cabaret showbars rather than theatre. Theatre was very formal, in Cabaret you could have a little more fun. I also had a job of taking the temperature in the recording studio room (tica tape) before the musicians (mainly London Philharmonic) and had to have a paper hair net and paper over shoes. Christmas Cabaret was my most happiest time, everyone was in good spirits Looking back: from the lighting and sound control room.  

Hello. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this topic, so sorry if it's not. Anyways, this is kind of a vent post type of thing?   I'm trans. That's a definite fact. Though I'm a closeted teen, pre-everything, and sometimes I feel like a fraud, I guess. I mean, I know I'm not but the feeling's still there. I don't want to be, and am not, a girl. I'm a boy, that's what I'm meant to be, that's what I identify as, and that's what I am. I feel uneasy whenever someone refers to me with she/her pronouns, and I feel very uncomfortable whenever I have to wear more feminine-like clothing. There's more stuff, but I won't get into that, or else this might get pretty long (longer than it already is). To put it simply, I get strongly uncomfortable when perceived as a girl, and wish everyone would just consider me a boy. I think that's gender dysphoria? At least, I'm pretty sure.   What makes me feel like a fraud sometimes is the fact that, when I'm not really thinking about it (which rarely happens) I feel kinda.. fine, with how I am, I guess? I think it throws me off, makes me feel unsure of myself. That's all, really. I guess in hindsight it's not that big of a deal, but sometimes it feels like it.

My first visit was to pinderfields hospital in yorkshire, the surgeon was not very helpful and said i should quit whilst ahead Back to Dr Johnson of Leeds for more counselling, another letter was written to Tim Terry of Leicester Hospital. I waited all afternoon in a corridor and eventually i was the last one left. Tim popped his head out of the consulting room door and said would the one with the sad face please come in!! I was livid, you have made me miss my train, don't worry, you can stay in the nurses quarter. Tim basically told me what i already knew, that was my surgery had been botched but he had a solution a new procedure which he was not familiar with colon plasty where a section of the colon is removed and used to create a vagina. He had never performed this type of surgery but knew of a Michael Royle, westbourne villas Brighton, but and here was where my heart sank, he was private not nhs, Tim Terry suggested that he was willing to let Leicester hospitals facilities available to Michael and that he could gain on the job experience, Sadly Michael turned this request down. 

Chuck Leavell - one of my favorite keyboard/singers you've seen but probably don't know. I first came across him playing with the Allman Brothers then tok a few with him and formed Sea Level - a jazz version of the Allmans and I absoutely loved the band. They didn't seel well enough to keep going so he became an important part of studio albums for He has toured and recorded with Eric Clapton, George Harrison, David Gilmour, Gov't Mule, Train, and John Mayer. Besides that he also joined and is the musical director and keyboard player with the Rolling Stones since 1982.      

@MariChelan Congratulations and Happy Freedom Day. Glad glad for you. It's a huge step. Hugs                               i

Welcome Wisp - I'm glad you are here and know you are among friends who care and want what is best for You and only you. Ask questions and you'll receive truthful, affirming and loving answers based on personal experiences and know we only want what you want for you. You are safe here.

Do you coonsider your personal individual journey a - blessing or a cure or somewhere in-between?

@Wisp All I want to say is that what you are doing is one of the most difficult things to do on your journey andI applaud you in your efforts, however you choose to do it. A friend of mine finally came out to her homophobic parents last week and she is so relieved it is over. She is stil shocken but she is finally free to be her with the most vital part of her life no matter how they see her now. They said they still love her but that means to be seen. 

Thank you for caring so much.

Not looking forward to Tuesday my doctor has ordered that i have several blood tests, due to elevated blood levels and next week i have to spend the day in hospital under anesthetic, trying to remain positive.
