If you had asked me, I never would have thought I would see this. I knew this was the most tense and volatile election in American history, second only possibly to Lincoln. If things continue the way they are going, we WILL be in a second civil war. This will be remembered as the action that sparked it off. If you’re an American citizen, and you’re not scared, then you’re not paying attention. Foreigners need to pay attention as well, because if things get any worse, this could easily spill over the borders. No matter what the distance.

Hey everyone! I am just wondering if there are any tgs in Rochester,NY? Especially FTMs. That want friends? Any?

May 18th will be the greatest day of my life ever. That is the day I go meet two of the top youtube celebs as they tour with a band that has become my favorite band to listen to. Those of you that have never heard of SMPFilms/DudeLikeHella..I will explain who that is. First look up on youtube for the Mean Kitty Song by SMPFilms(Cory"Mr. Safety" Williams). He is the man who is behind the song that made him an viral hit on youtube because of his cat Sparta. Cory has been a big impact on my life and has kept me from going insane when life was at it's worst. I would watch his videos and feel good knowing that I could relate to whatever he was doing or saying. …

Some Klingons are gay. Get over it! UK gay rights campaign Stonewall’s iconic message goes intergalactic as new Star Trek film premieres in London 03 May 2013 | By Tris Reid-Smith " And Stonewall hopes it will encourage Trekkies to share the message and join the organization’s campaign for lesbian, gay and bisexual equality." --gaystarnews.com *Notice the "T" is missing......

The stats might not all be correct, and it's a Jim Carrey tweet that Jim Carrey didn't really tweet, but it's funnier than heck: "@ItIsJimCarrey - Gay marriage is legal in 6 states, but having sex with a horse is legal in 23 states. Good job, America." Source: @ItIsJimCarrey, official parody account. No affiliation with actor and funny-man, Jim Carrey.

While the US's president made history being the first to mention gay rights in his inaugural speech for his second term, Brits may be paving the way to make sure their next king or queen will be so, whether gay or straight... U.K.: Law Proposed to Accommodate a Gay King or Queen

I have always loved blacksmithing. Specifically bladesmithing. I had to give it up a long time ago due to circumstances that were beyond my control. Now I've been watching Forged In Fire, and it has brought me back and given me that spark to go at it again. Adrianne bought me a forge for our anniversary. Now I need to find a good anvil, vise, tools (tons of different kinds and purposes), a power press, and a power hammer (Big Blu would be great). I also need to clear out my garage so that I have a place to work in. Once all that is taken care of, and I have the different grades of steel to work with, I'm back in it. I even have a name. I'm going to name it RatLady Forge. …

I'm watching the nightly news at the moment. They just showed a story about an infant, who was only a few months old, that died after being left in a daycare van for several hours. I'm at a complete loss about what to even say here. The language I want to use would make the people of Pompeii have their ears bleed. I've never been a fan of people, but you do not harm a child. And if you do, you deserve things that I can't say here. Let's just say that inmates have it right in their treatment of you. May the Gods take the child into their palace.

I work nights and bust my butt. There is another janitor that works the same hours and for 4 hours spends her time having breakfast...sleeping in people's offices that are on vacation...etc. And, we get paid the same hourly wage. I hate to be a snitch, but I am getting tired of it. What would you do?

Don't forget to vote! I already did.

Back again Its been 3 or so looooong years but i'm finally back (no I didnt get run over by a certain mod's motorcycle 😛) and I don't intend to take off like that again (without leaving a note) Chat has seemed to change quite a bit but i'm still seeing some old friends 😄

Amid many horrific news articles about genders lives this article comes in on lighter note. Only six countries have equal rights for men and women, World Bank finds By Rob Picheta and Kieron Mirchandani, CNN Posted at 1610 GMT (0010 HKT) March 2, 2019 london (CNN) — The world is moving towards legal gender equality -- but it's moving very, very slowly. Only six countries currently give women and men equal rights, a major report from the World Bank has found. That's an increase -- from zero -- compared to a decade ago, when the organization started measuring countries by how effectively they guarantee …

This is truly frightening. It's something I have been predicting for a while, but hoped I was wrong about.

I hope you don't mind my posting something entirely unrelated to transgender topics. Just wanting to share some books and ideas with you. I love to read. At times it's a wonderful escape into the unknown or unknowable. I'm now thoroughly enjoying "The Hummingbird's Daughter" by Luis Alberto Urrea. It's about the author's real great-aunt Teresita, who lived in the late 1800s in Mexico. It's so much fun to be immersed into what life was like back then. Very brutal in many ways especially if you didn't happen to be part of the aristocracy. In case you like books such as this, here's a few others that I enjoyed: "Dune" by Frank Herbert I read this science fiction…

Very fun (and short video). Nice name for the actress too! Paper is not dead!

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

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. Every minute spent on those social media giants helps them promote LGBT equality, including the T." -- thedailybeast.com All the Things You Can No Longer Buy if You’re Really Boycotting Trans-Friendly Businesses

This is a game that I have been waiting for, for a while now. It's scheduled for a release sometime this summer, but no official release date has been revealed yet. I'm posting because it's main character that you play as is transgender, and it implements a lot of the issues we face as the LGBTQ+ community. I have been waiting on the edge of my seat for it. It's going to be released in several episodes, but I can't wait to get it as soon as it's out. Here's a few links about it, including one that is just an entire page about only the game, even though there's not a whole lot there. https://www.radiotimes.com/technology/2020-04-05/tell-me-why-release-date/ https…
