Bamby Salcedo is a personal friend of mine, and although I am not Latine, I have spent many hours volunteering with the organization over the years and have been on the threatened premises from time to time as well, so this is up close and personal. The new office is in an area near my local LGBTQ Center where I was a board member and in a city that will take problems of threats very seriously and I am lucky to be part of that. Bamby's quote there is one I have heard at times I have been at her events This is more important to hear than the name of the Perp who made the threat. (I am very angry about this). *compañeras translates from Spanish as "companions" -

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/16/west-virginia-transgender-sports-ban-00152525 This was absolutely the right decision; the girl has been on blockers since the 3rd grade! She has never been through male puberty. Keeping her out of girls sports is pure discrimination based on hate. Carolyn Marie -

https://www.dailynews.com/2024/04/15/man-arrested-after-alleged-threats-on-la-based-transgender-latinx-organization/ Glad they quickly got this guy into custody and with a high bail set. He's definitely dangerous. Carolyn Marie -

I fully agree with @Carolyn Marie and add one more item. If you are suspicious about content from any other member, PM any one of the Staff here and describe which post is bothering you even if you do not Report it as CM suggests. We are all over the globe and in different time zones but that is a labor we take on for the members. We will look at the material with you after carefully listening to you and take any appropriate action. We are trying to make this place safe for all our members and sometimes we have to work overtime at it, but we have done pretty well over the time the site has been up. -

Abigail, the Mods and Admins do review all the posts of newbies, and many of the posts of even long time members. We sometimes do find posts with stories that are, shall we say, less than credible. Lots of folks embellish things about themselves; it's human nature to some extent. We don't discipline members for posts that seem fanciful but are otherwise harmless. We do draw the line on posts that violate specific Community Rules, and we do draw the line on posts that appear to be gaslighting members or are so outlandish that they draw attention to themselves. Even then, removing members is a rare occurrence and is only done when lesser forms of discipline are ineffective. One of the things we as staff rely on is the watchful eyes of our members, who often are the first to spot something that seems off. Anyone can report something suspicious by clicking on the "Reported Conduct" icon (the Triangle) on the upper right corner of the page. Carolyn Marie -

Welcome @violet r. I can relate to this, as do many on this forum. All of this has roared to life for me over the past 18-24 months (I am 53yo), though it was always in the background in some fashion since I was a kid. What I have told my family about this side of me has not been received well at all. So I understand the hardship there... Blessings to you! -

Good thing your boss takes care of you. It does seem like he's got a hiring problem, though. I wonder why there's an issue getting quality people to apply? Low wages, insufficient advertising, or maybe too many open positions locally? Where I am, lots of jobs are found by word of mouth. My husband's company pays so well that they don't even advertise...there's actually a huge backlog of applications. Plus employees usually connect family and friends with available positions. That's how one of my friends got hired there, and also my eldest stepson is my husband's assistant. Good old fashioned nepotism 😄 -

When I read a post, it must pass the smell test before I believe it. Is it credible? Do people actually act that way? Are there logical or emotional inconsistencies? I am not sure what the policy here is. I expect that in the past and maybe even now people may join and post a 'life experience story' that is clearly a fantasy. The problem here is that it may be be clear to you that it is a fantasy but I think it actually is a real, credible, true to life story. How is this handled here? Do you kick people off for telling wild stories about themselves? I guess you have to once in a while, but what if someone's life has some wild aspects to it? -

Welcome @violet r to the forums. You’ll find many of us here who came to understand and accept our realities later (even late for some) in life. Each of us is unique but we also share much in common. You’ll find lots of information and resources here and many people willing to talk and share thoughts with you. Jump in where you feel comfortable. Ask questions. Or just relax among people who will never judge you. -

You are rocking it, Michelle! I love your sense of humor. Be you. Be confident. Be unique. But, just be you. -

I'm new to this. I'm 45 and Just recently coming to terms with the idea of being trans. Noni see yo have a new sense of peace and feel a wild kinds of happiness. It all stated when I gave up drinking for a while. I realized that I just covering up who i really was. Did some research on the gender identity and watched a lot of videos. And wow I related to so much. I never liked myself or my body. But there were signs over the years that I refused to see. But home life has made it impossible for me to do anything at this time. I'm glad I found this safe space. -

An aunt of mine and I had a talk last night,it was about me all good.It was with my Aunt Ellen and she knew I was not one of the boys growing up.I knew she was right.Plus it was about my boyfriend,said she does like him and is glad he treats me right.I did tell her I am glad to have support from her letting go of an unhappy nephew that has become a much happier niece in her life.She knew my dad very well,one was he did not treat me right at times.She was disgusted about it and I had to stay with her for a night or a couple days when the arguements got bad with my parents.One ended up with the police coming out,dad hit me and he was arrested for assault and domestic violence charged with it.Called her and told her I coming over staying for the night.Said no problem and saw what he did to me.It got to the point I started living with her when I was 18 in March of 1997.Dad beat the crap out of me one night.I helped out and felt happier.I also was glad she cared about me.Age 24 when I finally came out as transgender after both of my parents passed,she was cool about and said she loved me no matter what.Plus she has seen the positive changes in me since I started my transition in December.One was she felt the skin on my right arm,said my skin is softer just like hers.Good thing is she says I did not end what my cousin Alex attempting suicide having a hard time coming out as gay.She told him she would love him no matter what and he is glad to have support from her as well.
