It sounds as if it would be a good learning experience. :)

I was in town at the Quaker publishing center across the street last year but have never had the chance to attend. One of these years i hope to attend. The feeling on the street was great even without being inside. It is a busy weekend on the farm so i'll stay home and try to keep life flowing here.

Hope you have a great time, meet a lot of friends and learn a great deal.

Hugs,

Charlize

It totally slipped my mind that it was coming up, but two of the Thursday workshops look interesting and the Reading Terminal's right across the street, so there's the lure of good food... >_>

I may just go!

I was only able to attend the Thursday events. I met a few people that I knew. There are a lot of workshops that interested me. On one occasion there were two workshops that I liked scheduled at the same time. I will be going next year for the whole three days. Nicodeme, the Reading Market was nice. I ate some fried fish for lunch.

Philadelphia reminds me of Baltimore and Boston. Everything is within walking distance.

We went to Friday afternoon's sessions and most of Saturdays. Met up with a lot of friends and a few online that we met for the first time in person. Very informative and I might have found a way to get my insurance to pay for GRS after talking to someone at NJ Equality. Keeping fingers crossed :)

I also met a new surgeon Dr Thomas Satterwhite from the San Francisco area and was really impressed with him and he is part of Dr. Curtis Crane's group.

      Interesting.  I grew up Greek Orthodox, which is "top-down" similar to Catholics.  But my birth family was more of a "cultural Christianity" than really involved.  My husband grew up in a *very* conservative version of Lutheranism, which was similar to the structure you describe (no bishops, limited pastoral control).  His father was always a church elder and teacher, which explains why his parents have never quite adjusted to their son leaving that church, joining a different one, and having 4 wives (plus me).    My very existence is kind of scandalous, but at least his mother treats me better than she acts towards GF.  Somehow GF's Russian ethnicity is a greater issue than my androgynous appearance         And...its 2am.  I should be asleep, but I woke up as GF slipped out of our nest.  She said "I'll be right back" and that was 45 minutes ago.  I guess she had something to type that just couldn't possibly wait until morning.  This is becoming a habit.

      Still think its because he has it in for California and wants CA to lose lose lose money that it has already spent on the Games' preliminary concerns.

      I was showing the site off to a good friend today and encouraged them to join us since they are a part of the community as well. (They, them pronouns). The friend is the director of a Trans entertainment group I am a member of and told me they want me to use this as a new monologue to do in a future performance.  It will be to a Trans friendly audience, so I guess I get to see.  I do enjoy giving monologues and other spoken word pieces, so my feelings about this have taken a more humorous direction.

      An article summarizing some experts' response to the HHS report.   “An Anti-Trans Fever Dream”: HHS Publishes Attack on Gender-Affirming Youth Care   https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/05/hhs-trans-youth-gender-care-report/

      Not a surprise to me.  I started my transition 8 years ago, and I have avoided travel to the USA since then because of anti-trans policies.  As of this year, I am not even admissible, so that choice is made for me.   I intend to stay where I am, which is a relatively safe place.  However, seeing how quickly formerly-safe places have turned unsafe, I have gotten my Canadian passport updated, and I have obtained an Irish passport.  That will open up more countries in the event that we have to move.  Moving is not in our plans, but it never hurts to have a backup plan.

      Several of the cited authors in this review of the Cass Review are members of an online group I belong to. They, but not me, are actual published scholars in their respective fields.  It takes some time to read through "necessary jargon" but they do find evidence that the Cass thing was a political hit piece and not the best science on the block.   https://bmcmedresmethodol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12874-025-02581-7?fbclid=IwY2xjawKRh8hleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFPVWpROTRYMVRmekRPUmF1AR4_ncrXi320qJOeWXD9j9-tqC9p5TK4GnIq8rNNBVGfSo7oUXg4UaK35vgGyQ_aem_ZKvBAU749u5d0y5isyMoFg

      Hi, Karen.  Thanks for the update.  It sounds like things are going well for you.   It is common for the "drive towards transition" (a.k.a. dysphoria) to ease once you start HRT.  It will likely also do that whenever you take other steps towards becoming your true self.  Why did it increase again?  It typically does that when you have not made any big transition-related changes for a while.   Your T level being down is probably a normal effect of estrogen.  Even in the absence of androgen-blockers, E by itself can lower T production.   Enjoy your journey!

      For me, moving is out of the question at this point.  But I am more reluctant to travel now.
    • Ivy
      They are looking for a particular outcome, so only "experts" that already agree with this.
    • Charlize
      I'm sure you will have a good time at the meet.  I remember planing and looking forward to being myself with others.  I now look forward to hearing about your experiences.  Enjoy!   Hugs,   Charlize
