      The Forums layout seems kind of odd to me. When it's first selected we see "Recent Status Updates," which is (at least to me) unrelated to the Forums, which is such an important component of the site. When I first navigated there I didn't realize that I needed to scroll down to the Forums. I'd suggest removing the "Recent Status Updates" from the Forums home page and move it elsewhere, perhaps to the Members.

      Isn't Anne Lamott cool? I loved reading her book about writing. I really admire her.

      Yes, I agree. But in many ways they are leading the way for all of us.

      Yes, so sad and tragic. Poor thing that she felt taking her life was the only "solution" available to handle her pain. Times and opinions are gradually changing but too slowly.

      I am not sure I understand. Do you have an example or know what he was referring to?

  9. Really enjoyed my time under the Stars tonight. Time to enjoy the green spaces until the Widows wake up and the rattle snakes start staying up late. It's getting to be about that time ! :)

      Watch out for the rattle snakes. They speak with forked tongue!

      Yes, death threats are 100% wrong. Violence and threats of violence escalates tensions, doesn't cure anything.

      I can't edit the comment and now CNN is displaying the update that he's signed the revised bill. Like with Indiana's bill, I wonder why they need it now. Maybe to show the conservatives "see, we tried."

      Precisely. Amazing that he feels he can be so transparent. Amazing also that Walmart (headquartered there) is also protesting the bill. I imagine they're feeling the pressure.

      Governor Hutchinson says that he's going to have the bill changed, but he also said, "This is a bill that in ordinary times would not be controversial,” Mr. Hutchinson said. “But these are not ordinary times.”

      WHAT?

      Christie, that's a wonderful quote! It really mirrors my transgender journey. I'm adding it to my signature.

      Hmmm, there are those who aspire to that condition!

  23. On Monday, when the nurse from the county health department stopped in to evaluate me for a home attendant, she asked me if I was transgender. I said no, I am a cisgender Lesbian.

    1. Emma

      Emma

      What an odd question for her to ask. I suppose in one sense it was respectful since she at least recognized that one might be transgender, perhaps might want appropriate pronouns. So I suppose that overall it's an okay question. How did it make you feel?
