So If You Won The Lottery...

My numbers didn't match last night. Darn it! So, if you won the lottery, what would you do or buy? Let's say it wasn't a small lottery but a big one like 150 million. Being transgendered we may have a slightly different wish list in mind. What would you do?

Grin! The obvious! And TOMORROW!

And I would ask 10 of my bestest transfriends and pay for their surgeries.

We could charter a plane! Party on the way - moan and suffer on the way home!

OR

Buy an old hotel - set it up to let the Transpeople who are abused, to be housed.

Stuff like that

OH MY

Lizzy

"UPDATE" - DANG - Dee the Jay is 10 times more generous But.. want it or not? WOW - I have some people I want on THAT list!

Even a small dream is a dream and should be cherished.

I've thought about that, and along with the usual stuff for myself and my family,

I would put a couple million bucks into a trust fund, and the interest alone would

pay for 6 U.S. or 10 Thai SRS procedures every year for those who couldn't afford it. That would make me very happy. Ah, dreams....

First I would have SRS with about 10 Friends so they can enjoy the pain with me. :lol:

Then I would set my kids up for life and their kids and their kids etc.. I would also make my mom and dad retire.

Well I'd also want to set up a trust, not just for SRS but for emergencies like the kids who get kicked out and people who lose their homes and jobs over trans issues.

Then I'd transition and I'd hire a physical therapist and start traveling with a smart phone so I could still be on LP.

I'd steal my granddaughter to go with me and a tutor for her. We'd come home for birthdays and holidays.

...

I'd buy 7.5 million scratch n sniffs XD

But Def set up a housing estate for beaten and abused Trans (Particularly Youth).

... Then we can get into selfish things...

Like SRS x)

Then a whole bunch of strawberry gum.

First I would make sure that all my most important desires were taken care of first. I would get out of debt and make sure I would proceed to SRS.Next I would make sure I have a nest egg. Then I would make sure my closet family would be set for life (brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, and their children, all my grandparents and parents are deceased. All my grandparents were deceased when I was born). After that I would create an interest bearing fund to help those in my city support group (women or men) have the funds to transition up to the point of SRS. After that I would create a fund to allow those who can't afford to transition on Laura's Playground the opportunity to transition with emphasis on those who help others and further the cause. Then I would help those at work who really need the help. If I had anything left over I would give to those who are down on their luck but would give to society if given the opportunity.

First, I'd buy anther lottery ticket >.>

Then teh obvious

Then youth shelters around the world! Sorry but a single hotel just isnt enough, what of those who cant get there? So, lotsa small shelters

Obvious trust fund

then, my own resteraunt chain so I can live off my money, not my lucky money! By the time resteraunts are succesful, rest of lottery goes into trustfund, so even more shelters even faster! ^^

Can I be one of your 100 closest friends??? I'll bake you some cookies!! :D

I actually had the same idea myself, though it wouldn't be that many. Our lotteries usually don't get much higher than 20 or 30 million.

No surgeries. Not at first at least.

I'd have hair removed from everywhere except the top of my head and eyebrows and eyelashes.

I'd get a team of the best doctors, dietitians, and trainers to get me feeling healthy and energetic and my skin perfect. (I'm not overweight. I'm actually almost underweight. I just feel like crap most of the time).

Whatever HRT, diet and exercise can't do but I still want... THEN I start considering surgeries.

Trans-stuff aside, I'd build a ridiculously nice movie theater.

I'd find a way to mount a monitor on the ceiling above my bed so I could watch TV or use a computer while lying down, and I'd spend way too much money on computers in-general.

I'd also learn how to race cars.

Ah, finally a place to put my thoughts on this

1. Change my phone numbers (and give the new ones out only to trusted close family and friends - maybe)

2. Get a p.o. box number

3. redirect most my mail there

4. set up accounts at various banking/savings/investment institutions including trust funds for my children (they will get some but not right away)

5. put my house up for sale

6. get a (trusted!!!) lawyer on retainer and get all my paperwork in order - wills, etc.

7. then and only then, come forward to lottery officials

8. pay off all debts

9. retire from public life to become a money manager - with exactly one client

10. hire a tax manager (at first until I learn all the ins and outs) to find a way to hide most my money like all the rich actually do (tax the rich? that's a laugh, and definitely not me!)

oh, wait, you want pie-in-the-sky dreams?

<sigh> <bigger sigh>

After the above, buy multiple condos or places around the country, maybe one offshore, move around during the year (I love skiing in the winter). Take classes in subjects I've dreamed about, maybe get degrees in some. Donate to charity. Go overboard with outdoor decorations at Christmas for one year. Hike the entire Appalachian Trail in one do. Travel to places I've only dreamed about like Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, Australia, Antarctica. Finish my pilot's licence with an instrument rating, join an aero club or actually buy a light plane (C182).

One final dream - dress as I please, where I please, when I please...because....

One my thoughts - We are all crazy, but only the rich have the where-withal to demonstrate it, the rest of us are too busy trying to make a living and/or raise a family.

i must be an oddball, if i won the lottery i would try to keep it a secret from everyone. i would pretend like i got some not-so-fancy new job that required me to travel from time to time. i would get a house or an apartment that is relatively nice and beef up the security like Fort Knox and go there during the day or night and pretend it was my job. Once the ruse has settled in i would travel the country a bit, and see all the people and places i wish i could see now. along the way i would create anonymous gifts to people, creating a little bit of happiness, or fixing problems.

Guest ChloΓ«C

Blindheart, actually you're not the only oddball! Look above at my first 5 (or 6) steps. They would all be done before I told anyone or came forward. And if that isn't doing the secret bit, I don't know what is. So, by the time I went to the lottery officials to collect, I will have half disappeared, then with the money I would go all the way.

The way I see it most winners are blinded by the huge sum not realizing that it doesn't matter how big it looks, it is still finite. The trick is to get going on making it last as long as possible, and that can only be done quietly. From what I understand, you never knew how many friends you actually had, until you have money that they want. Amazin', huh.

One thing that people do miss is that you almost always have to move somewhere else (unless you're already a survivalist!), because your old neighbors (and 'friends') will be looking for friendly largess and picking out any changes - which they will do regardless. Moving to a 'rich' neighborhood, for all your new neighbors know, you're 'old' rich (possible, but not likely) or new corporate rich (you made money through tech or wall street). And you don't ever tell.

For years, back in the 50's, my mother refused to get a Cadillac (which she could have done through connections), because it would have been out of place in the neighborhood we lived in, and she knew if she was 'inadvertantly' overcharged at local stores, she couldn't go back and ask for that dime or quarter back. Better to modest and frugal, than appearing wealthier than one really is.

That is a great idea, I wish that there already was a place like that.

After someone wakes me up after I've fainted, I would pay all my bills. I would take care of my family members then sock away the rest.

Well, a couple of things:

First, I'd help other transpeople. Two personal friends of mine from another transforum (one in England and one right here in Portland) have this great idea they call Transition House. It would provide food, shelter and support, long-term even, for transpeople kicked out of their parents' homes if they are young or booted out of their jobs if they are older. It would have some standards the residents would have to live up to. They are mellow standards that are designed to ooch these people to move on with their lives in a positive way. I'd set up a trust fund to endow Transition House and let those two friends run it.

Second, I'd establish and run a private equity firm whose sole intent would be to grow it's capital so as to continue to endow the trust fund for Transition House as described above.

Third, naturally, I'd pay off my debts, but that wouldn't take much.

Fourth, I'd set up a trust fund for myself to live off of. Thing is that I live simply. My lifestyle wouldn't change much except that I'd back my half-fannied job, move to a better locale and just live in a manner that is very simple but quite satisfying. No fancy anything. Don't want it. Don't need it.

Fifth, I'd fulfill a personal dream. In 2005, I discovered Caliente Resort & Spa in Land O' Lakes, Florida. God, how I loved that place originally. They ruined it with greed and seediness. I'd develop a resort that is a hybrid of what Caliente originally was at it's peak in 2005 (It opened officially in 2004) and L'cap de Adge in South France. I'd build and operate this place the way it should be done. I'd sell this lifestyle to the general populace and do so very successfully. Finally, I'd live there.

Aging hippie chick living a lifestyle that is a cross between the asceticism of the Mahatma Gandhi and the poshness of Caliente at her very own C.O. resort that is simply the best of its kind in the world. Yeah, I'd be a walking contradiction but a very happy one!

Hey, put on a Grateful Dead song, serve up a gourmet meal ... and pass the sunscreen, will ya?

150 million...

I'm too young for transitioning, but I'd put aside 1 million for future transitional plans.

5 million for other future stuff (college, house, car, etc.).

10 million for emergencies.

2 million for traveling. I want to see the world someday :)

Another 2 million for other recreation and personal use (clothes, electronics)

5 million to my friend.

Rest would go to multiple animal rescue and LGBT centers across the world.

Where to start?

I guess I'd donate to my school, which is so underfunded that we once had to pretend a cork board was a mirror in science class and that the raybox wasn't broken (experiment conclusion: absence of light travels in straight lines and doesn't reflect off wood). I'd make it bigger and better and maybe open some clubs - soccer, hurling, drama and so on.

Then I'd start up a youth support centre close to where I live that caters for the entire county. Like a place where a kid could come and get support if they have problems with anything. I'd have to employ my own workforce because the government provided carers are often completely useless.

And onto personal stuff! I'd get myself a nice car, even though I won't be able to drive for another two years. I'd make sure I got a good university course in science. I'd also get a better computer and a totally new unisex wardrobe.

The remainder I'd put in a good savings account and use it to support my family and friends.

The lottery over here only gets up to €12,000,000 if we're lucky, though.

My lifestyle wouldn't change much except that I'd back my half-fannied job, move to a better locale and just live in a manner that is very simple but quite satisfying. No fancy anything. Don't want it. Don't need it.

I don't mention this to too many people because they might think I'm crazy but that is exactly the way I think of money. I sometimes ask myself why I am pursuing the career that I am trying to get into when it pays more than I need. The answer is that I don't want to feel wasted. I have been blessed with certain gifts and I feel obligated to use them even though I do not need to. I have often pictured myself living in an apartment with a cheap car and cheap appliances while donating more of my salary to charity than I keep for myself. If I ever told my parents that I have thought about such a thing they would not consider it unlike me but they would definitly worry. One of their major fears is that I will get rich and let everyone mooch off me because I am too generous. It's kind of my funny when you think about it but I can understand. I might just be a big pump siphoning money out of big business and donating it.

If I won the lottery I would not know what to spend it on and I would probably give most of it away.

I've got 4 tickets for the 10M draw tonight (we don't have the huge ones you guys do, biggest I've seen was close to 50M, but at least if we win, we keep it all, no taxes!).

If I were to win, even just a few million, I'd get everything possible done to make me what I want to be as fast as possible. Surgeries galore! I wouldn't even leave the hospital, I'd just stay there in recovery til they could do the next one. Then I'd move to the other end of the country where nobody knows me and start my life over again.

      good evening Β  good day at work today. Β I did do some things a little out of normal but everything was completed successfully. Β As I said earlier, the Asst Mgr was my second today. Β I don’t think she was too happy about that. Β Several customers asked her where Richard was her answer was the manager cut his hours. Β Well that is only part of the story, Β his hours were cut just like mine were and several others but in his case he made demands about his hours that couldn’t be met. Β But instead of making some non complaining remark about it she made sure to lay it all on the manager, thus throwing the manager under the bus. Β Similarly when asked why she hadn’t been at work early mornings, she said she was being punished by the manager. Β Well that’s partly true, she wouldn’t do what the manager told her to do so she took her off opening. Β But secondarily she didn’t have a car to drive temporarily. Β You can’t open the store without a car because who ever opens has tasks that require them to leave the store, so it was Β at least partly her own fault. Β But she chose to throw the manager under the bus for that. Β I think she is asking to be fired for insubordination. Β And if the manager gets these conversations off the security tape tomorrow she just might get her wish. Β  im pretty close to being ready to take the asst position but there isn’t anyone ready to take over my job, at least not at our store. Β I suppose the other shift lead could if she is able to work earlier shifts and if the other closers were just a bit more reliable. Β  Ive been wanting some homefried chicken. Β We found a BBQ place not far away that had such a chicken but I is made fresh when ordered so it has a 30 minute wait. Β It was worth the wait and the other things we tried were also good. Β Another restaurant on the list. Β At least half of what we ordered came home for another meal. Β  i get to sleep in tomorrow, I go to work at 1:30! Β  Willow

So, on my birthday, a couple people used a group avatar message to wish me a happy birthday…and now my Facebook friends can see a short video of my female avatar dancing with an old friend’s and another with my uncle’s avatars. So am I β€œFacebook out” now? 😬

      No, they are not. Truth wins in the end and this report is full of lies that poison the whole thing: see this: "Dr. Cass Backpedals From Review: HRT, Blockers Should Be Made Available it's said. Dr. Cass's latest statements are likely to cast more doubt on the validity of the study, which has come under fire for disregarding substantial evidence on trans care." https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/dr-cass-backpedals-from-review-hrt?publication_id=994764&post_id=143743897&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true I hope Dr. Cass wins The Mengele Award for it.

      Boyfriend and I went to a support group for spouses dating or married to a transgender person on Tuesday night for the first time.It was amazing meeting other couples like us.One was a genetic woman whom has been dating a transgender male for the first time and she is supporting his transition.Us,they were amazed by us agreeing on something we said,love and acceptance have brought us together

      By which I mean there is a cultural stereotype of what a man is, and one of what a woman is.Β  Even worse, of what a transgender person is. Β  You be you. Β  I read of a boy who thought he was a girl because he did not adhere to some (rather toxic) conceptions of what it means to be a man, so he decided he was a girl.Β  He was told he didn't have to conform to stereotype and got happy. "You mean I don't have to transition?" He didn't want to, and was relieved. Β  Once upon a time if you were transgender they told you either you transition or die. Β  Incorporate the best of what it means to be a man and the best of what it means to be a woman as much as you possibly can, and let the rest go.Β  Be fully human. Be alive. Don't conform to some cultural crud.

      You have given you and us a big clue right there.Β  I hope you have shared this observation with your Endocrinologist and are willing to take their advice about changing that behavior.Β  Β  Non prescribed herbal or animal supplements can have a negative effect on your body's use of your available hormones.Β  Also, your genetics are going to be controlling what your body is going to do with your hormones, and again, that is for you to consult with your Endocrinologists.Β  On this site none of us are licensed medical personnel and we cannot give you advice on your health more than what your doctor can.Β  We have rules that we enforce against our members advising about "Folk Remedies" because we have had members who have gone that route and badly damaged their health and quality of life.Β  Only thing I can go anywhere on, is that maybe if you change your expectations of what should happen, you will at least not be in danger of harming yourself from anxiety.

      Hi lovely people, Β  I'm a 25 yo MtF woman, and I've been suffering from low estrogen issues since October 2023. I completely lost my feminine libido, my breast completely stopped growing, my estrogen levels dropped by a lot (despite NOT decreasing my E dosage) and thus my dysphoria drastically increased. I think it is worth mentioning that, for my health issues, I had been taking ----- Lamotrigine for months & had been on ketogenic diet, and these things seem to be a culprit of my current issue. I weaned off Lamotrigine some time ago and gave up on keto diet, but it still doesn't seem to help. My estrogen is still low (44 ng/ml) and my libido hasn't come back yet. In general, I struggle with my dysphoria so much because of that and, to be honest, I don't know what to do. I've tried so many dietary supplements, yet I didn't get any effects from them. My endocrinologist didn't know how to help me. She only suggested to increase my daily estrogen dose (to 3x per day ------sublingual estrogen tablets and 3x per day ------ estrogen gel applied to armpits or thighs), which I did, without any effect. Β  Please, help me. Prior to keto diet & Lamotrigine treatment, I'd never had experience like that. I'm basically helpless and have no clue what to do. Having to deal with low estrogen is a horrible experience to me and it affects my life severely. Β  BTW, my T levels are always within female range. Β  Do you have any clue what exactly I should do?
