I have to do it anonymously with cash, MO or cashiers check. Whats the procedure for that?

 

One way might be to ask a favor of a friend or work acquaintance who has a PayPal account. Give your payment in cash to them, and they in turn make the donation in that amount via PayPal.

If you do this, please, please, please make sure that they are happy to make a donation on your behalf to a Transgender Site, if they do this for you, and then decide they do not wish to be connected to us, and they raise a dispute with PayPal, we are charged an additional $20 to refund them! So, please use the message option to state "Donation on behalf of <your username>." thanks in advance.

Many thanks ... Lee,

The pleasure's all mine, literally. This site is my window on the world, along with tgAA. Otherwise, it would be a bleak view....

Me too.  Without y'all I'd have no contact with other trans folks.

Dear @Petra Janeand all the staff/mods at Transgender Pulse, I just wanted to say that while I'm new here, the support and community here has been absolutely wonderful and so valuable to me, especially where I'm at now with my journey and transition. It's my pleasure to make a monthly donation to extend my appreciation.

 

Love,

~Audrey.

       Petra Jane ditto here! My private website, which has been around since 2006, is currently down (disabled due "hack"?) and, having been a member of other sites that heavily censure, find your format and friendly member attitudes to be quite refreshing!

       Don't post much, not big on lengthy "introductions" either, been quietly transitioning FOREVER (a political "conservative") and your "pro-binary/bi-gender/transfemme" labels would probably best describe me quite well.

The only one I returned was due to it been charged to someone who claimed it was done without their permission and instigated a PayPal chargeback which cost us $20 extra  last year. This was donated this year on 8th July, and refunded on 9th July so as to prevent any further chargebacks.

I can't donate now because I am currently going through a lot. Once I can I definitely will. I'm really hopping the group can stay funded because I haven't felt this welcomed other than the military.

There is no green bar at the top of my screen on the forum.  
And there is no yellow button below the text when I follow the link to the donate page.  fyi 

 


I appreciate this forum.  
Like a life preserver.

Sorry @Maddee I missed this.

The only reason the green bar wouldn't show should be if someone is not logged in, or they are a Guest or are a New Member, the bar and option to donate only shows once a New Member has made 10 posts and become a regular Member.

 

Yellow button has changed since we've had a run of fake donations.

Shoot.  I didn't realize how much the site gets attacked.  But really, it figures.

Thank you all for what you do for us.

Having taken on the site, forums, and all of the bills, from Dev (May 2020) and because I also want to be fully transparent about the cost of running the site, I feel it's time to update this information. 

 

If you'd like to donate, please do so viaq the green bar at the top of the forum pages.  The months of July through October are pretty heavy with annual and semi-annual expenses and every little bit helps.

 

Here's the breakdown as it stands now:

 

Chat is now free. (Stu now runs the Chat)

 

Forums:  $70.00 every six months (February and August, effectively billed in January and July). (Was $45 until 2022, support ticket system depreciated!)

Resource Locator:  $50.00 yearly, payable in September.

Email Delivery:  $5.00 monthly.

Server Rental:  $30.00 monthly.

Security Software:  Now included in the package we have.

Domain Renewals: Annual charges for Transgenderpulse.com, Lauras-playground.com and the server domain.

 

Total Monthly Breakdown: $58.00 per month.  (Annual bills = $690) Updated 28 January 2022

 

Now then.  I'm on a fixed income, which means I know what it's like not having a penny to spare.  If you're not in a position to donate, please don't feel guilty; I didn't take over here to turn a profit.  The lights will stay on.  Donations are very much appreciated, but they are not a requirement of membership.

 

An update to clarify a couple of points: Because you have to use your legal name with PayPal, emails confirming your donation from PayPal will be from a name with the initials "DS", not Petra Jane and the email used is tgp (at) uk-web***

 

Unfortunately, we can only accept payment through PayPal, and please ensure that you have permission to make any donation through a PayPal account, we have recently been stung by someone alledgedly using a PayPal account without the owner's permission and incurred an additional $20 chargeback to refund the donation!

 

We have recently seen a number of these of late so I am asking that genuine donators please add your forum username in the comment box so that I, and I alone, will know who has sent the donation and that it is genuine. Thank you.

 

Let me reassure you:

Donations help towards ongoing costs related to keeping the site running, including hosting, bandwidth, etc. It also encourages us to commit regular updates, add features, and improve the service.

Our promise to you is that this site and its use will always remain free of charge.

      I went to WM today with the objective of buying sandals: they would be women's, but look like men's; they would be brown or black, not white.  I realized the cheapest way to go  was to go for flip-flops, which I observed were prevalent in the store. So I checked out the women's.  Flowers. White shiny straps. Nothing that could possibly be men's. The best deal was one flip flop for $3.98.  At first I thought that was a pair, then, nope.  And because I comparison shop (is there the same thing in men's?) I found the cheapest over there was $6.98 for a pair of flip flops in green that also match my women's cargo shorts that I love.  Doing the math, finding the pink tax.  Rip off.  I have found a blue tax this way, but usually they charge women more for something than they do men. I guess women tend to lose one flip flop at a time or something. Weird.  The pairs were a lot higher.   So, following my rule, but unhappy with it, I bought the green men's flip flops.  They were the cheapest.  Later wife of mine complimented how masculine I look in my matching shorts and flip-flops.  Inward groan. We have not discussed the Subject in a long time because I think she forgets it is there as soon as the conversation ends.  Or she is trying to talk me out of this.  Not sure.  We only discuss it when necessary, and how often do most couples discuss whether one spouse is one sex or the other? Outside of here, I mean.  So we very seldom talk about it and she is happier if she does not know about it. Super stealth.  I do the laundry and I shower in the shower in the wing away  from the master bed room so I have my own shower.

      I'm very glad that everything worked out even better than you thought. It's a tough spot to be in and I know the exact feelings. I'm still waiting to apply for divorce under abandonment so I officially can meet someone who one day I can call someone my prince or my queen. Although the desire for someone is fading because of everything. it's even more amazing that she was your high school sweetheart! Looking forward to the next entry.

      Awww thanks for listening everyone. I have another 5-6 songs in this style that I started recording at the same time, so hopefully I’ll finish the next release soon.   Yes, exactly. Everything was easier about this project, mainly because it felt authentic. The energy was very different, because it was such a pleasure to express myself without a filter. I laughed a lot.

      Thanks for listening @Mmindy.   You’re welcome @April Marie. I think Sally Can’t Dance is an underrated album.

      Well I had an interview with the local Ford Dealership for an opening in the parts dept. It sounded positive. I was told I would here by tomorrow morning.    Other than that just sticking around the house. I haven't done much, the weather is cold and yucky. Doesn't look like good weather till Sunday. Maybe tomorrow I'll fire up the heater in the garage and see about getting the other brake hose put on the Explorer.   Have a good rest of your day/evening.   Hugs, Kymmie

      Maybe they called me he/him at the dealership because I completely forgot my mascara! Eyeliner without mascara…a bold new trend among the helplessly lost! :)   Fixed that!

      Ah. Email from Gibson. [it was actually less legible than this, as he didn't use punctuation, it was all caps, and he ran all his words together. Taylor was used to it.   T - As everyone was under my super. this last year, don't worry about the evals. I will handle it. Send all email about new proposals to me, your unit handles work under way.  You will be involved but the first step is those go to me. Thanks   Here is an outline of what questions I want to see answered tomorrow.  Feel free to just jot down your thoughts.  If you don't know, say so and maybe point to how we can find that out............   Your new position will seem very challenging for a while but I am sure you can handle it.  Everyone has the utmost confidence in you.   PS your performance evaluation will be stellar, as reflected in your new position and compensation.  You get 100. One less thing to worry about.   Taylor sent him 45 emails right after that, gave some thought to the questions, and then had to turn to one of the proposals under way and review it.  That done, she read through the personnel files on her people so she would better understand them and what they could do. There was a very thin folder with her name on it.  It had one piece of paper on it. On it was written "the best!".  The others were thicker but didn't take long either, and she returned to answering the questions.
