Scooby,

I am glad you are hear. It is a bit overwhelming when you start to let it all out. It can also be freeing to tell your story and to be accepted by everyone here.

Please know you are safe.

No one will see anything about you that you don't want them to see.

I am fully out and have no worries about anyone seeing me. That is mainly because no one that I don't want to know about this part of my life knows my femme name is Amanda and I am surfe the same goes for you scooby.

Being Trans and being a parent is a big challenge. I agree with the HRC stance on this subject and that is to be out is to be free and also gives a name to the ones that you know and love to who we are. The world needs to know that we are regular people that happen not to fit into the traditional male and female gender roles. That is hard for some people to understand and respect. But. If we don't live our authentic lives we are harming ourselves. It is hard to love someone else fully if you are unable to love yourself. If you share your own challenges with your children who have challenges I believe that this will lower their stress and make them more likely to be completely honest with you about who they are and what they need. I also want you to know that you should plan on educating yourself before you do this There is no need to rush into this. Take some time to read as much as you can here. Also go to the HRC-Human Right Campaige web site and check out their guide to telling family about being TG. It walks you through all the emotions you can expect to hear and see when you share this with other. I have be able to tell my Mother and my brothers about this and I was ready for their responses. I feel so much better about my need to transition now that I have their support. You also need to have a close friend to talk to about this. If you do not have any TG friends seak out a gay friend. Gay people can identfy with the pain of hiding who you really are to others. My gay friends and brother have be great assets to me and have made me feel so much more comfortable with who I am than I ever thought was possible.

I love to talk and now you can send private messages to anyone you want. So if that is more your speed right now try that. Do what ever makes you happiest.

Peace & Love Amanda

      Good morning All. Coffees on.

      By April Marie · Posted

      Good morning, everyone! I've finally pretty much finished with this head cold. I actually got 5.5 hours of straight sleep last night without taking any cold medication...or waking up to pee. I feel amazingly rested!!   Oh, @Willow, you are in my thoughts and prayers that your throat issue becomes less of a problem over time and not more.   I'm, hopefully, going to get our grass cut today. It takes me somewhere between 2.5 and 3 hours on the zero turn mower but the ground is still so wet that I'll have to slow down a bit. At least it's supposed to be sunny and around 60.   Have a wonderful day!!

      CA Judge Rules That Title of Anti-Trans Ballot Measure Will Remain As-Is

      By VickySGV · Posted

      We have had some real dillies come out as the initiative sort of thing, but as @Carolyn Marie said, very few make it out of the petition signing seasons.  I am not surprised at the origin site of this thing, it is probably one of only 3 regressive leaning counties we have in the state. We actually had one of these initiatives started to make it mandatory for police to shoot dead on site any Gay behaving individuals wherever they found them.  For the most part the matters are poorly written in ways to be unenforceable even if enacted.  Thus most never become law or get to the voters.

      CA Judge Rules That Title of Anti-Trans Ballot Measure Will Remain As-Is

      By Carolyn Marie · Posted

      You make some good points, AYS.  But there are usually already too many ballot propositions each election, so the proponents know it's best to wrap it all up into a nice package.  Plus, it's easier for the signature gatherers.  Otherwise they have to have a separate clipboard for each proposition.  Too much paperwork, dontcha know?   This kind of proposition is a loser in CA, so the only possible way the proponents can succeed is to give it the scariest title imaginable and try to put one over on the voters before they get wise.  Bottom line; an ice cube on a hot summer sidewalk has a better chance of success.   Carolyn Marie

      Reading that article, it seems like the attorney general gets to call it whatever unless its an outright lie.  Given the nature of politics in CA, it seems like one side has the bully pulpit for sure.  Labeling it "Restricts Rights" vs "Protects Kids" is very much a matter of perspective.  Unfortunately, that matters since many voters don't bother to read.  Perhaps a better (unbiased) way to handle it would be to simply give the ballot measure a number with no title, forcing folks to read it.    I think it would have been better to handle the various issues covered by the ballot measure separately, rather than all at once.  For example, issues relating to disclosure of medical and social information to parents.  That could be its own ballot measure, rather than lumped in with everything else.  Besides, shorter and more succinct measures are more likely to be read completely.
