She has a point. It’s very upsetting to think that on the one hand they say she’s a man then arrested her for being a woman? I’m sure she didn’t get to go to girl jail either.

Yes this shows there is a double standard.  In the defense of the state, it appears they will change designation when full surgery is completed and she stated she had had partial.

With this being from the Daily Mail, which is a British gossip sheet of the "spectacular", I am sure some other facts are missing as to why the indecent exposure term in jail was that long.  Tennessee is backwards on the surgery change issue and one of the few states that demands full GCS these days.  The Breast Augmentation would be enough in most other states.  There are even two states that will not change gender at all, even with surgery, so it is a problem to be sure.

We have got some really wild stuff from them lying around here in other posts and some member's descriptions of them are border-line on being allowable here.  :goodone:?

I think they made that public service announcement simply because it was a controversial topic and quite likely the lady has a solid lawsuit in play. I’m a little offended by how daily mail intentionally misgendered her with the whole “born a man” because we all know you don’t suddenly come out of the womb with a full beard, a low voice etc. It’s tailored to create a negative response. I’m concerned so much about things like this happening to me that I’m willing to move somewhere that isn’t as stacked against transgender people to begin with. Then the largest marker obstacle will be my birth certificate which I have no idea what to expect because it isn’t on the mainland, it’s a tiny island in the South Pacific.

Omg! I just looked it up and I can get my birth certificate changed without GCS! I only need letters from certain professionals to state that I identify as female! Happy happy joy joy!

Josie - the daily mail aim to offend, they are in the same category as the Sun, Daily Star, Record and Mirror - tabloids found lurking on coffee tables.  I tend to stay away from the tabloids if I can - they were only good when they were used to wrap chips (fries) in, and even that's a happy past memory! You'll find more truth in the Harry Potter novels.

I can’t even see eating chips wrapped in that paper, who wants all that colored ink on their fries? Lol. Maybe I’m a typical American but I never understood the allure of wrapping fried food in newspaper knowing that the ink transfers to everything. There’s no quaint nostalgia in that, maybe butcher paper or brown paper.

Hahahaha, Josie you sound horrified!  The chips were always in a plain wax paper bag then wrapped as a parcel in the newspaper, which doubled as a tray while you were eating. 

The whole thing would then get binned and no plastic was involved, and ink never used to run in quite the same way. It was just a way of being frugal.  There is a scent trigger of the vinegar combining with the smell of the newspaper though that just triggers happy nostalgic thoughts!

Nothing wrong with being typical in some ways! As a Scot I could never see the need to put fried food on sticks!

 

In the UK if you were poor enough (and old enough) newspaper also doubled as emergency loo paper. Though some would argue that the contents never really changed.

Lol. I remember my grandma telling me that she used to take the old sears catalog and that was toilet paper. I’m sure it didn’t work as well as the paper we have today. It’s quite a bit stiffer and doesn’t quite get everything taken care of. My first thought was how did they wipe up front? Must have been luxurious!

Link to comment

Not sure which is more concerning; the original post, or the thought of wiping with the Daily Mail. I feel like if I used the Daily Mail as toilet paper, I'd catch a disease that would give me an insatiable attraction to Nigel Farage. ?

 

Actually, the thought of that makes me feel quite ill... ?

I nearly spat out my coffee! Thanks for that! ?

I probably couldn’t see myself attracted to anyone named Nigel. It’s got an almost super villain ring to it.

Yup - pretty much spot on.

Bain’s, Chadsworth, Cornwall, Drummond, Dirk, Farnsworth, Lester, to name a few all seem kind of creepy and pretentious.

Josie - you've nailed it.  The man would make your skin crawl just by walking in the room.

      So, yesterday's epiphany was that girl jeans fit me much nicer than boy jeans. Well, duh! So this girl is switching over to wearing girl jeans pretty much full time. I'll keep my others for work jeans. We went out to dinner last evening and I was in androgynous mode...wearing a pair of Bandolino Amy straight leg denim pants. Score!

      Good morning, everyone!! The coffee upload has started for me but just in the early stages so I'm barely coherent at this point.   You've been missed @Willow - I hope all is going well with your wife and at work.   @awkward-yet-sweet We love to make beans with rice - one of our favorite meals.   No big plans for me today. Small projects around our place and probably some reading. We're going to have some rain off and on, and the temps are still too low for a lot of outdoor work.   Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      Hi   boy you back to work and miss lots.  No time to catch up right now. But I will.   just wanted to let everyone know I’m still here.   willow

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.
