Making America Safe Again?

Geee Wilickers!

I just heard the Republican's campaign moto for the first time. "Making America Safe Again". How on this Earth does hatred and bigotry make America safe? It will make America ugly for certain, but not safe. How could this Party, who freed the slaves, who (contrary to some beliefs) pushed forward the civil rights act, have fallen so far? They've done a complete about face. Now they're the ones touting discrimination, and it's ugly. I used to vote Republican. But the Party has changed. I do not recognize the Party anymore. And now this, targeting, in this manner, our commynity,one of the most vulnerable communities there is. I'm thinking of the still hiding trans people who will be more afraid than ever to come out of the closet. I'm thinking of the trans people who will be beaten up or even murdered because of thier (Republicans) rantings. I'm thinking of the trans people who may feel so rejected and demoralised that they attempt suicide.? Is this really worth the few more votes they think they might get? I think all of you are worth a whole lot more than a vote!

Lots of love,

Timber Wolf?

I was raised Republican but more of a independent since the North Carolina bathroom bill. I fear walking down the road with all the new rights the Democrats fought for our LGBT new rights only to be taken out by a city bomb, ak 47, biological weapon or chemical attacks. My last dress I will wear will be in my casket. I fear from shari'a law. Her old boss gave Iran a pass on their nukes and they hang Gays. Isis throw gay men off building roofs. Saudi Arabia the women are 2/3 a human being and not allowed to even drive. I agree we are seen as the spawn of evil by conservatives but as a growing part society we will part of the death toll too. I don't fear my grandchildrens right to the life they choose, the snowball has become to large to stop, but I worry for their safety from overseas religious radicals spawn from hell. Sarah

Numerous people whose parents, grandparents, ect. were Republicans are now either independents, Libertarians, or Democrats. I believe it was back in 1964, Nelson Rockefeller vs. Barry Goldwater for some of the root causes.

After 1964 or so southern conservative democrats became republicans and northern liberal republicans became democrats. You need to understand they talk in code. Consider, " Make The South Great Again " .

The other bit of code, a very old bit, is "states rights." We hear more of that kind of talk now than we have since 1964.

It is hard to believe that they have changed as much as they have. Once the Johnson administration managed to get the 64 civil rights past congress the change has been dramatic. It is indeed based on the principals of money, hate and fear. i think the former is working for it's own goals as an extension of a misuse of the capitalistic system. Greed rules and fear is it's tool.

It's hard to believe that we can be made an object of fear but we are being made into monsters who rape women and children. It's not important that many of us could work in harems (sounds good).

I can't believe that we have to hate others in order to be safe. It does however get more votes from those who fall victim yo the ever louder beating of the drum. The last republican administration kicked the hive and destroyed balances as never before through stupidity and lies. Our economy tanked and those who actually hurt our country remained free.

It certainly isn't perfect now. It never has been perfect despite the claims. It is tremendously better than 8 years ago. I shake to think where "states rights" and a "great" america would take us next.

Hugs,

Charlize

About the only one of these you'll need to worry about in America is being thrown off a roof (or otherwise assaulted) for being gay or gender-variant - something that will become more likely if the Republicans get in and roll back LGBT protections.

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets.

      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      April sounds fun..I keep some boy jeans to visit mom in..fir now   hugs

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
