Hello there Sarah here

I happend to stumble over this HORRIBLE clip (see the link as i sadly haven't a clue how to insert clips ) http://www.bilerico....e_mcdonalds.php

And see fore you're self (GASP ) im VERY aware that this things do accure (incl over here in Sweden ) and im in NO way saying to boycott sed hamburger brand (and in my eyes YES the personal SHOULD have intervened more then just verbally and nothing more , and YES if i was there those girls WOULD have been flying thrue the wall and outside EVEN tho i AM a TS (still sadly a Post op ) woman my self make NO mistake i can STILL defend my self it dont matter how im dressed,High heeled, Skirt .... or not )

BUT my point here is this it DONT MATTER if we are ladies,Wimen ,Girls ,TS ,trans gendered in ANY way shape or form, FT M NOONE of us should EVER have to think JUST because we are what we are we CANT or shouldent fight back as its not appropriate or we have never done that or we dont know how .........

AL of us NEEDS to start to DEFEND our self and STAND UP fore you're self and DONT take this (very bad harsh words not suitable fore this forum ) and as LONG as we al continue to take al this laying down this will NOT stop . I dont care with WHAT means you manage to defend you're self as LONG as its LEGAL of course and help to stabilize sed situation

BUT fore HEAVEN sakes START to DEFEND you're self and STAND up fore you're self :hairpull:

Even if you loose i can assure you that sed persons doing this to you will think an extra time before they try to do it again ether on you or another poor soule

With AL my respect to EVERYONE

But often times defending yourself means you end up in jail, and let's face it...the prison systems are far from accepting of trans people.

Or, the "help" ends up doing nothing. I was walking down the street with some friends who were dressed in drag. A group of skinheads kept yelling and threatening us. Then they walked across the street to confront us. We didn't become violent but me being the person I am, I left and called the cops. The skinheads ran away and I'm pretty sure they went to the pool hall a block away. The cop came, we described the group. He drove around the block once, said he didn't see anything even after we told him where they we're. He left.

When you have the same type of situation happen over and over and over where your opinion isn't valid because you're trans it gets really tough to expect basic respect.

Yes sadly i know about the so called System in the US and i agree 100 % with you. and it SUCKS , BUT last i checked there was also this thing called the RIGHT to DEFEND you're self (and as i also sed in a LEGAL way ) witch there are THOUSANDS of different things one can make work fore you're self , NOT to mention MANY times (BELIEVE me i KNOW it works from OWN experience ) JUST ACT like you're not to be messed with (ie AGGRESSIVE and you dont want to mess with this person ) will make MANY offenders think yet again if this is a good idea or not TRUST me on this i KNOW it works as i have used it MOST of my life And YES i have also been in some fights as well ad WON but ONLY as a LAST step after being pushed WELL over my level of self behavior as i have also ADHD and when pushed TO far well lets just say im NOT that nice or timid anymore )

A yes the Skinheads ,YES i also know about those HRM persons and i also know that YES they are after Trans genders,Transvestites and gay people (No offense as i have NOTHING at al against ether one and i have MANY TRANS-GENDERED as REEL (well mostly on the net but still ) friends as well as The ENTIRE spectrum of transgender ) Now then as i understand this you were indeed NOT attacked and my guess is that the fact that YOU took the RIGHT alternative and left to call the cops was ONE of the reasons AND also that you're friends apparently remained calm (GOOD work ) what i mean with this is its NOT always the right way to become violent as first ALWAYS try to remain calm and see where this goes BUT IF violence is starting to come you HAVE to stand up and confront (ie DEFEND ) you're self, Now in my personal opinion if we look at this in the legal way as far as i understand ) the cop dident rely had that mush on sed Skinheads other then harassment since THANK GOOD no violence accured this time , YES he should have gone to sed place and looked and he SHOULD have IF found them confronted them etc... but the thing is we al know it wouldn't stick and they would probably be released within hours again due to lack of evidence, ITS AL WRONG il admit but sadly its the naked truth

My dear i have been bullied ,treated and regarded as an IDIOT since Kindergarten + by EVERYONE my reel dad (NOT my mom tho who ALWAYS have supported me ) ,School , my so called "friends " Authorities etc............ and my self esteem was down with the im NOT worth ANYTHING i cant do ANYTHING etc..... ( pretty mush the old story as MANY of us ) BUT when i came up to my 18 Th birthday i sed NO MORE NOONE will EVER treat me in a bad way EVER again,im JUST as mush worth as human being as ANYONE else here on earth ,and i have stood by this since then up to my now 40 years (against EVERYONE incl authorities ,people that thinks of hurting me in ANY shape or form ,And BELIEVE me since then AL that have tried me have LOST the fight (not so mush in the violent acts as i EARLY on showed them what the result would be ) but more i STOOD /STAND up fore my self and DONT take unjustifiable crap from ANYONE

So my dear BELIEVE i know how it feels to think you're not worth anything and should therefor NOT expect to be treated as a human being and i HAVE to accept to be treated this way etc...... AND THIS is the problem that NEEDS to be addressed here

If we al Trans gendered DONT ever stand up fore our self (again prefably in a NON violent fation ) then how can we accept the other ones to start taking us Serious ? and stop harassing us JUST because we are what we are ? If we DONT do it then NOTHING will change and there will be MANY MORE falling victims fore this BS :hairpull:

Further more MOST (again im talking from OWN experience ) of th so called bullies are in fact also afraid or utliest also "humans " (incl skinheads (but with them its better to IF you can get away if NOT DEFEND you're self ) etc...... ) and its also this little thing to try to talk o them i a CALM fation and see if you cant retch out to hem (when i was in 7 Th grade (swedish scale ) on sed school there was this Bullie and i mean he was LETHAL and MOST were scared to death of him and his gang me included ) and yes he did beat up people left and right and was SEVERELY criminal ,ANYWAY one day when i was as usual trying to run fore cover when he and hees gang showed up (as did everyone else ) i cind of couldn't get away as he approached me and i thought well heres were my life ends ,BUT instead he suddenly just stopped and asked me a TON off questions about me (im also born with LKG ) Born cind of this way So i also looked somewhat different as well as acted and behaved different (OVIESLY im operated now so i look more natural ) , ANYWAY after we talked fore some hours and he actualy shown me his HONEST and interested HUMAN side he just left and i was in shock , SO what i want to say is STAND up fore you're self dont ALWAYS mean you have to result to violence but also USE YOURE BRAIN and ALWAYS strive fore a NON violent solution BUT if things go sideways DONT just take it DEFEND you're self fore the LOVE of heaven :superman:

In my personal opinion The reason that Trans gendered persons are often viewed as targets is we are SO EASY targets we hardly EVER defend our self and we hardly NEVER stand up fore our selfs and OFTEN we are more of doormats fore others to step on :hairpull:

Actually, I can't say if they hurt anybody because as I had said, I left to call the cops. As you can see from my story the police are not on our side. I know that there are trans women in my area who have used the women's bathroom only to get arrested. Hell, there was one woman who was in a weird place in her transition and the men's bathroom was closed. She asked if she could use the women's and was given the OK. The manager beat her when she came out and the police were called (forgot who did the calling). She was put in hand cuffs and due to diabetes her hands and arms swelled up around the handcuffs. They did not help her. They did not address her.

Or another occasion a few years ago. A trans woman was assumed to be a prostitute and was arrested. The police kept calling her derogatory names for both trans women and gay men then beat her with their handcuffs around their knuckles. Later on a nurse came to look at his (the officer's) hands and ignored the woman bleeding from her head laying on the floor. She was later released and a few weeks later was killed. Of course, her murder wasn't researched at all.

So...the reality is that we're screwed. If we stand up, that's bad for us, if we don't stand up, that's bad for us.

And please...don't call me "dear" as it sounds incredibly condescending.

Okey i understand but i DO PRAY that they weren't hurt , sadly from what you're saying and you're right , Okey well thats SUCKS i have to say what we are advised on is to actualy STAY out of the wimens bathroom UNTIL you have transitioned fully so to say (Ie SRS and LEGALLY a woman ) and i know what i do is the same and IF possible i try to use the handicap toilet thats a Gender nutural space, Sadly there are MANY IDIOTS out there (sigh ) (meaning sed manager ) thats so WRONG in SO many ways from the cops side and DEFENETLY an alarm clock :thumbdown:

Again its OVIUS that its RELY time to relocate ASAP !!!!!!! , And my SINCERE condolences fore her lost (Crying face )

Well lets try this one. As you say were damed if we do and were damed if we dont (fare enough ) and although thats completely up the walls head on WRONG that it is that way let me ask you , Since it rely dont seam to matter ether way witch way would be the right one ? In my eyes its STILL to stand up for you're self (not argue with the police tho of course ) From what you're saying id say that sed place were you live is NOT a trans friendly place and if i were you i would DEFENETLY try (i know how things are i the Us and we al have family`s and friends and we al need job etc.... so i just say TRY ) as best i can to move somewhere else because there are PLENTY of friendlier places AL over the states then were you're currently are (and Kieran you`d be surprised how MANY of this story's and EVEN WORSE then this (MUSH MUSH worse ) i get to read from AL over the states when talking to Ts around the world (crying face ) Actually fore whatever reason MOST from USA (and the so called south or shall we say the bible belt ) :hairpull: JUST stating the facts here and im NOT in any way shape or form judging AL south and AL its people

I'm so VERY sorry if i in ANY way shape or form offended you Kieran that was NEVER my meaning :poster_oops: (its pretty mush only the way im speaking Kieran with both older as well as younger TS ,Wimen , Men, Trangender, etc..... :poster_oops: )

Ether way i STILL say i rather go down fighting fore whats right (and LEGAL and NOT against the cops ) then go down doing NOTHING

Many people do not get any sort of surgery. Either because they don't want it, or can't afford it. There's also many people who do not identify as men or women (like myself) who feel uncomfortable using any bathroom.

Again its OVIUS that its RELY time to relocate ASAP !!!!!!! , And my SINCERE condolences fore her lost (Crying face )

I live right by New York City. The story about the woman getting beaten and the cops not addressing her happened in New York City. I've also heard horror stories about trans people being beaten in San Francisco. These are supposed to be two of the more liberal places in the US.

For myself moving isn't an option. I just lost my job and live with my parents. It's been very difficult for me to find a job (took me a year and a half to get the one I was at), and I've made some big sacrafices to who I am in order to get a job yet it still isn't enough. Really, the whole situation truly is lose lose.

For myself, I've been doing what I can do...meaning what I am mentally able to do. I've worked with lobby groups but unfortunately they end up pushing gay marriage way more than transgender rights. Since we got marriage passed I'm really hoping for a push for trans rights...that way I can get a job and not worry so much about what my employer will say.

One way for us to stand up for ourselves is through the education system. Get the most education you can and use that to your advantage. It will open doors for you in the job market, where your opportunities will be wider. More important: as you learn to move and speak in the academic realm, you take on new tools for communication that will allow you to be more effective when it comes to changing people's minds or at least affecting policy.

When you present yourself to others as a professional, they are much more inclined to take you seriously. You can educate and change those around you simply through example.

I again urge those of you who are brave enough to identify in public as being trans to use your powers with writing, photography, film, etc., to document our lives and issues and humanize us in the eyes of others. We need to represent ourselves instead of always having the media pick our representatives. If they choose for us, they choose the spectacle rather than the substance. Minorities of all kinds have leveled the playing field somewhat by finding their voices and putting them out there.

We can fight for our causes way more effectively with education and eloquence on our side.

"Yes i know this Kieran (my reason fore not become Post op is i fact i AM in fact DIAGNOSED TS but my hospital dont want to pay SO im stuck , (AND HERE we are LEGALLY allowed to get it payed IF diagnosed as a GENUINE TS ) and there is as you say those that cant afford it , cant because of whatever reason,or there body cant take it ,And of course those that dont want to go AL the way,and OF COURSE those like you're self , and SADLY the society have this blasted rules that you HAVE to gt the SRS to LEGALLY be allowed to become a woman (incl over here ) and i too think this is WRONG ,I can understand that Kieran i cant say im that comfortable having to use public restrooms ether on the count on were i am in life BUT sadly as you know we DO have to perform this tasks SO its more a matter to try to do it as best as possible (and also i haven't been to the beach fore nearly 10 years EVER since i started living as ME on same grounds you feel uncomfortable in public restrooms ) "

"Oh okey then er well as i also sed thee is BAD or shall we say rotten apples in AL city's and places Kieran and reg SF (yep i have a VERY dear friend there too ) there are good neighborhoods and they are BAD (she lives in the BAD ) as is in New York but i have to say im surprised to red that this happend in New York tho "

"Like i sed Kieran i know there is al kinds of things to consider and not only to move, I'm sorry to read that you lost you're job and have to live with you're parents Kieran , SADLY yes its often required of us in the job market too hide that particular part (as l long as NOT legally ....... ) i had to do it as well and i was a trucker and pretty mush worked my self to an early grave with working roughly 16-17 hours Mo to Fri (and now permanent disability since 5 yers i think or 8 ) YES il admit it has to feel this way to you Kieran BUT i ALSO know you CANT give up you HAVE to KEEP ON FIGHTING and BELIEVE in you're self and NEVER EVER give up witch i KNOW is VERY HARD BUT whats the alternative ? Just quit trying and go under and dont struggle to be you're self ? "

what annoys me, as much as the beating itself is the comments who were actually apologising for these thugs,

" US government is trying to pass legislation that will make it easy for non TS men to invade women's only areas"

Pretty pathetic.

I'd like to know more about the employees. What happened to THEM? The ones that stood there, video taping, commentating. I hope they got fired, at the VERY minimum, considering that it is their job to protect their customers. Why didn't the manager yell at the kid to "put down your damn camera and break this up." Why is it that they allowed her to have a seizure for who knows how long, without bothering to assist in anyway. Maybe the employees don't need to have certification, but the manager surely does. If any one of them are still working for McDonalds it would be a travesty. I would think criminal charges should be brought upon the one filming, ( Accessory to a crime: Telling the Assailant to "Run before the cops get here.") and the manager should lose his store and pay her hospital bills.

She just came in for a darn Cheeseburger people, is it that hard to keep your customers safe? IS IT THAT MUCH TO ASK??

Luna dear im afraid al i know about this is whats been sed in the article (but from what i think i can remember sed girls doing the deed were later arested and charged

As fore the employes like its been sed before i agree with you BUT it could also be that the policy of sed burger brand are under STRICT rules to NOT interfeere So altough i COMPLEATLY agree i cant rely say more on that as i dont have al the facts. And YES i think the one filming should get punished as well BUT on the other hand hadent he done that there wouldent have been no evidance in court SO again its a tricky sitution

Well in al honesty sed person SHOULD have thought that this situation COULD get uggly and tried to use the handicap (far as i know thyy have to have one in US as well ) rather then risk using ETHER the men`s or ladies room BUT with this sed i DONT defend the two girls action ONE bit and they shouldent have been alowed under ANY circumstances to do this while the personal baskly stands and enjoy the show :thumbdown:

As fore stepping in while she had her epelctick seizure , From what i heard its NOT a good way to do that while the person IS under seizure as it can hurt both you as well as the patient so the best thing to do is to call 911 ASAP and stand back

I COMPLEATLY agree Luna BUT to be fare she SHOULDENT have tried to use the ladies room (as we AL know it IS a toushy subject ) but should have used the handicap (gender nuturual ) as far as i know there should have to have one of those as well in US rather then chansing on ether mens or ladies room , HOWEVER this being sed im not under ANY circumstances shape or form stand behind this girls and there HORRIBLE deed and they SHOULD have been stoped EMIDIETLY . :superman:

Hello there Sarah here

I happend to stumble over this HORRIBLE clip (see the link as i sadly haven't a clue how to insert clips ) http://www.bilerico....e_mcdonalds.php

And see fore you're self (GASP ) im VERY aware that this things do accure (incl over here in Sweden ) and im in NO way saying to boycott sed hamburger brand (and in my eyes YES the personal SHOULD have intervened more then just verbally and nothing more , and YES if i was there those girls WOULD have been flying thrue the wall and outside EVEN tho i AM a TS (still sadly a Post op ) woman my self make NO mistake i can STILL defend my self it dont matter how im dressed,High heeled, Skirt .... or not )

BUT my point here is this it DONT MATTER if we are ladies,Wimen ,Girls ,TS ,trans gendered in ANY way shape or form, FT M NOONE of us should EVER have to think JUST because we are what we are we CANT or shouldent fight back as its not appropriate or we have never done that or we dont know how .........

AL of us NEEDS to start to DEFEND our self and STAND UP fore you're self and DONT take this (very bad harsh words not suitable fore this forum ) and as LONG as we al continue to take al this laying down this will NOT stop . I dont care with WHAT means you manage to defend you're self as LONG as its LEGAL of course and help to stabilize sed situation

BUT fore HEAVEN sakes START to DEFEND you're self and STAND up fore you're self :hairpull:

Even if you loose i can assure you that sed persons doing this to you will think an extra time before they try to do it again ether on you or another poor soule

There's 2 words for that: Bloody appauling.

What the hell is wrong with these people? They attack this woman and this guy just films it and then gives them advice?! What the hell is wrong with the world? Woman gets violently assulted and you just film while they come back, like, 3 times? This brought tears to my eyes, and that hardly ever happens ( kind of de-sensetised ) but seriously! They watch, film, don't intervene and then put it on Youtube? They weren't even trying to raise awareness I bet. This is what sickens me about the world. Where's the empathy?

Where's the honour?

      Got a new Granddaughter this morning.  Mother and child (and father) are doing fine. This makes 7 granddaughters and one grandson.  I have 2 sons and 6 daughters myself.  And then I  switched teams.  I think this stuff runs in the family. Another hard day for the patriarchy.

      Like @MaeBe pointed out, Trump won't do these things personally.  I doubt that he actually gives a rat's a$$ himself.  But he is the foot in the door for the others.   I don't really see this.  Personally, I am all in favor of "traditional" families.  I raised my own kids this way and it can work fine.  But I think we need to allow for other variations as well.   One thing working against this now is how hard it is for a single breadwinner to support a family.  Many people (I know some) would prefer "traditional" if they could actually afford it.  Like I mentioned, we raised our family with this model, but we were always right at the poverty level.   I was a "conservative evangelical" for most of my life, actually.  So I do understand this.  Admittedly, I no longer consider myself one. I have family members still in this camp.  Some tolerate me, one actually rejects me.  I assure you the rejection is on her side, not mine.  But, I understand she believes what she is doing is right - 'sa pity though. I mean no insult toward anyone on this forum.  You're free to disagree with me.  Many people do.   This is a pretty complex one.  Socialism takes many forms, many of which we accept without even realizing it.  "Classism" does exist, for what it's worth.  Always has, probably always will.  But I don't feel like that is a subject for this forum.   As for the election, it's shaping up to be another one of those "hold your nose" deals.

      Just some exerts regarding subjects of interest to me.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  In my early teens I trained myself out of a few things that I now wish I hadn't.

      I was thinking in particular of BLM, who years ago had a 'What We Believe' section that sounded like they were at war with the nuclear family.   I tried to find it. Nope.  Of interest https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/aug/28/ask-politifact-does-black-lives-matter-aim-destroy/   My time is limited and I will try to answer as I can.

      Well, I suppose it is possible that they don't actually plan on doing what they say.  I'm not too sure I want to take that chance.  But I kinda expect to find out.  Yet, perhaps you're right and it's all just talk.  And anyway, my state GOP is giving me enough to worry about anyway. I remember a time when being "woke" just meant you were paying attention.  Now it means you are the antichrist. I just don't want the government "protecting" me from my personal "delusions."

      1.  I think there are some legitimate concern.   2. Thoroughly discussing this will consume many threads.   3. I disagree partially with @MaeBe but there is partial agreement.   4. The context includes what is happening in society that the authors are observing.  It is not an isolated document.   The observation is through a certain lens, because people do things differently doesn't mean they're doing it wrong. Honestly, a lot of the conservative rhetoric is morphing desires of people to be treated with respect and social equity to be tantamount to the absolution of the family, heterosexuality, etc. Also, being quiet and trying to blend in doesn't change anything. Show me a social change that benefits a minority or marginalized group that didn't need to be loud.   5. Trump, if elected, is as likely to spend his energies going after political opponents as he is to implementing something like this.   Trump will appoint people to do this, like Roger Severino (who was appointed before, who has a record of anti-LGBTQ+ actions), he need not do anything beyond this. His people are ready to push this agenda forward. While the conservative right rails about bureaucracy, they intend to weaponize it. There is no question. They don't want to simplify government, they simply want to fire everyone and bring in conservative "warriors" (their rhetoric). Does America survive 4 year cycles of purge/cronyism?   6. I reject critical theory, which is based on Marxism.  Marxism has never worked and never will.  Critical theory has problems which would need time to go into, which I do not have.   OK, but this seems like every other time CRT comes up with conservatives...completely out of the blue. I think it's reference is mostly just to spark outrage from the base. Definitely food thought for a different thread, though.   7. There are groups who have declared war on the nuclear family as problematically patriarchal, and a lot of other terms. They are easy to find on the internet.  This document is reacting to that (see #4 above).   What is the war on the nuclear family? I searched online and couldn't find much other than reasons why people aren't getting married as much or having kids (that wasn't a propaganda from Heritage or opinions pieces from the right that paint with really broad strokes). Easy things to see: the upward mobility and agency of women, the massive cost of rearing children, general negative attitudes about the future, male insecurity, etc. None of this equates to a war on the nuclear family, but I guess if you look at it as "men should be breadwinners and women must get married for financial support and extend the male family line (and to promote "National Greatness") I could see the decline of marriage as a sign of the collapse of a titled system and, if I was a beneficiary of that system or believe that to NOT be tilted, be aggrieved.   8.  Much of this would have to be legislated, and this is a policy documented.  Implementation would  be most likely different, but that does not mean criticism is unwarranted.   "It might be different if you just give it a chance", unlike all the other legislation that's out there targeting LGBTQ+ from the right, these are going to be different? First it will be trans rights, then it will be gay marriage, and then what? Women's suffrage?   I get it, we may have different compasses, but it's not hard to see that there's no place for queer people in the conservative worldview. There seems to be a consistent insistence that "America was and is no longer Great", as if the 1950s were the pinnacle of society, completely ignoring how great America still is and can continue to be--without having to regress society to the low standards of its patriarchal yesteryears.

      Cadillac parts are pretty expensive, so repairing them costs more.  But they don't seem to break down more than other makes.  Lots of Lincoln models use Ford cars as a base, so you can get parts that aren't much more expensive.    My family has had good luck with "Panther platform" cars.  Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Marquis, Lincoln Towncar or Continental.  4.6 V8 and 5.0 V8.  Reasonable fuel economy, and fairly durable.  Our county sheriff's office was running Chargers and SUV's for a while, but has gone back to older Crown Victorias for ease of maintenance.  GF rebuilds them here.  But they are getting more scarce, since the newest ones were made in 2011.    1992-1997 years were different than the later years.  1998-2001 they did some changes, and apparently the best years are 2003 to 2011.  Check Craigslist, and also government auctions.  GF has gotten a lot of them at auction, and they can be had in rough-but-running shape for around $1,000.  Ones in great shape can be found in the $5,000+ range.  Good for 200,000 miles without significant rebuilding.  Go through engine and transmission and electrical systems, and they go half a million.    Some Chrysler models are OK.  The 300 mostly has the same engines as the Charger and Challenger, so parts availability is pretty good.  But they tend to get timing issues.  The older Chrysler Sebring convertibles were pretty reliable, sometimes going 200,000 miles without tons of problems, although after that they were pretty much worn out.

      I think I have read everything the Southern Baptists have to say on transgender, and it helped convince me they are dead wrong on these issues.  They can be nice people.  I would never join an SBC church.

      You come across as a thoughtful, sweet, interesting and pleasant person.    There are parts of this country, and more so the world, where evangelicals experience a great deal of finger wagging.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      It has been an interesting experience being in a marriage in a Christian faith community, yet being intersex/trans.  I stay pretty quiet, and most have kind of accepted that I'm just the strange, harmless exception.  "Oh, that's just Jen.  Jen is...different."  I define success as being a person most folks just overlook. 
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Well, I live in an area with a lot of Southern Baptists, Evangelicals, etc...  We've experienced our share of finger-wagging, as the "standard interpretation" of Scripture in the USA is that the Bible only approves of "one man, one woman" marriage.  My faith community is mostly accepted here, but that has taken time and effort.  It can be tough at times to continue to engage with culture and the broader population, and avoid the temptation to huddle up behind walls like a cult.    Tolerance only goes so far.  At one point, my husband was asked to run for sheriff.  He declined, partly because an elected official with four wives would have a REALLY tough time.  (Of course, making way less than his current salary wasn't an option either).

      My bone structure is far more female than male.  I can't throw like a guy, which has been observed by guys numerous times, and moving like a woman is more natural.  It just is.  I'm not going out of my way to act in a fem. way, as you say, but I am letting go of some of the 'I am not going to move like that because I am a guy' stuff I have defensively developed.  The other breaks through anyway - there were numerous looks from people at work when I would use gestures that are forbidden to men, or say something spontaneously no guy would ever say.   At one point, maybe a year or more ago, I said it was unfair for people to think they were dealing with a man when they were actually dealing with a woman.    Girl here.  'What is a woman' is a topic for another day.

      Mom, I’m home!  What’s for lunch?   Leftover pizza .   ok.    Not exactly our conversation but there is truth in the answer.     @KymmieLsorry you are sick. Feel better soon.   Girl mode, boy mode no mode, not us. Nothing functional for either of us.   anyone here have or had a 10 year old (plus or minus) Caddy, Lincoln or Chrysler?  How was it?  Lots of repairs?  Comfortable seats? Anything positive or negative about it?  I need to replace my 2004 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer, it’s eating $100 dollar bills and needs a couple of thousand dollars worth of work and that doesn’t even fix the check engine code.  Obviously, it isn’t worth putting that kind of money into a 20 year old car with a 174 thousand miles.   Willow
