I heard this on _Good_Morning_America_ Friday, 9 May 2014. I wasn't paying full attention until some of these lyrics caught my ear, then my heart and now my mind. Although it's labeled "official" there are some mistakes in the text. There are links to other videos, etc. Perhaps some of them are real. So, I'm sharing this video:

Things we have learned from the movies… *During all police investigations, it will be necessary to visit a strip club at least once. *All telephone numbers in America begin with the digits 555. *Beds have special L-shaped cover sheets which reach up to the armpit level on a woman; but only to waist level on the man lying beside her. *The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. No one will ever think of looking for you in there, and you can travel to any other part of the building you want without difficulty *Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language. A German accent w…

What resolutions, if any, have you made for 2013? Personally...I've not really made any. Least ways, none I've definitely committed to. I have this knack of absently thinking about things in the back of my mind...things I want to do. But, it's like I leave it open for various possibilites. Sorta like a [horror] movie that, toward the end, it appears that everything is resolved and the creatures have all been killed. But while everyone walks off into the sunset, a creepy kinda music builds, and you wonder.... Interesting reading: History of New Year's Resolutions New Year's Resolution

This short article on Medium really touched my heart this morning: Why I Teach My Students to be Brave Being transgender is scary at times, pushing through internal and external boundaries, challenging beliefs and our safety (both emotional and physical). But it's exciting too, to feel oneself being oneself. Emma P.S. I'm now listening to Leonard Cohen singing his ballad "Hallelujah"! Turn it up! You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light In every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah

I just enjoyed my favorite part of the day again. A nice hot shower before bed. There’s lots of things I enjoy, but nothing I look forward to more than my evening shower. I get to sit under the hot water and let the stress of the day melt away. I get to scrape away the sweat and physical signs of stress when I suds up my loofah. There’s just nothing better. I get to feel clean, smooth, soft, and relaxed when I climb between the sheets. I absolutely love a hot shower.

I absolutely HATE the Fourth of July. The booms cause me to have flashbacks. Adrianne is pretty nonchalant about it. Like she either just flat out doesn’t care, or she’s just bored with what I’m going through, as if I’m faking it or something. I have literal brain damage. There’s missing gray matter. The drugs I did when I was younger, and the violence I’ve been through has turned my brain into swiss cheese. Add that in top of not only drug related flashbacks, but also flashbacks to when I was in the military, and I go through a Hell that I don’t even know how to describe. If I could go back in time, I would keep myself from enlistment.

NOTE: I really didn't know where to put this post - in the General TG Discussion forum, the Celebrity Ally forum, or the TG News & Happenings forum. Canseco isn't trans - so much for TG discussion. He's far from making a good ally. And, this is hardly news. So he ended up here... in the off-topic forum. I just brought the story to the board to spark some discussion, see what comments members might have about this. -Mike 31 July 2015, gaily grind " “Once I watched it more and more, and realized what it really entailed, what he was going through, I started supporting him.”" Former MLB Player Jose Canseco Will Live “As A Woman” For A Week To Understand Caitlyn

those of us that have kids would laugh at this pretty hard.

Dan Avery, Oct 12, 2012 Members of Justin’s Gift were told in a letter signed by parade chair Elizabeth McFarland that there were no spots left in the October 27 event: “At this time we are unable to accept your application for the parade. “We have reached our maximum for walking units.” But as MPR News uncovered, the application for the parade license wasn’t submitted until October 1o, more than two weeks after Justin’s Gift was told the parade was full. The form estimates about 31,000 people with 250 parade units will be participating. -queerty.com Anoka Halloween Parade’s Denial Of LGBT Youth Group Doesn’t Add Up

Does anyone else post on Reddit? I started posting recently, and actually created my own subreddit. It's pretty interesting reading other people's stories. I'm getting ready to create a second one as well. If anyone wants the links I'll be happy to share them. I'd also love to have some people make a few posts as well.

No matter how they're treating us, despite the fact that things seem to be getting worse rather than better, I sorta thought we could use this about now ....

This is something that has been bugging me for a while now. This is gonna sound weird to most everyone. We all have a dead name that we no longer answer to. We ask people to use our actual name. For me my dead name is Jared. My actual name now is Jennifer. But with the Twitter/X thing I'm torn. I know it's not trans friendly, but I also don't know what to call it. Since the website was built, everyone knew it as Twitter. Now that Elon skuM owns it, and changed its name, what do we call it? The majority of people don't know what X is when you talk about it. They only know it as Twitter. So is Twitter the dead name and we call it X now? I know it's just a website, but …

I know I have said this before. For years my parents would not speak to me. I had many therapists tell me to let them go. glad I didn't listen. Even though my Mom will not allow me home, we have so much fun talking on the phone. And I am finding out so much family history. I had always heard about a woman called Sunshine. Found out today her name was Bell Ripley and she is the woman that named my Mom. I had also always heard about this man named Peter Gooseturd. Found out that he was a brother of my great grandmothers. He was a very big man and all the kids used to be scared of him. So he told all the kids his name was Peter Gooseturd so they wouldn't be afraid…

I wasn't really sure where to put this since it isn't really news, and it doesn't have anything to do with rights and political activism. But it was damn funny (least ways I thought it was), and I had find someplace to put it ~~ Samantha Allen | 04.26.16 2:40 PM ET "In fact, if you oppose transgender rights, you shouldn’t even be spreading AFA’s petition using their recommended #BoycottTarget hashtag because Facebook, Twitter, and Google all aced the CEI.

No one can explain what the "gay agenda" is, but it's pretty obvious what NOM's agenda is. Their nearly-five-minute propaganda video is laced with homophobia, bigotry, ignorance, Jim Crow-like reasoning, lies and manufactured "facts." And the American Foundation for Equal Rights called NOM on each incident.

Added a Album section in my profile! some of the pics did not seem to load correctly! I will look into it. Enjoy ❤❤

I just want to say Merry Christmas to everyone & a happy new year wherever you maybe?
