Hi Mike, I think I know what you mean. "Transgender" is a good term and I like it. But it does seem scarier than "crossdresser" or "transvestite" (terms that I don't care for) since it implies some sort of gender transition or blend. And the fact that it includes fully transitioned transpeople adds to the worry. She did say at one point the other night something like "it's so much more than just crossdressing." I didn't want to dig into that since the fact is that she never accepted my coming out to her about that in prior attempts, so... The good news today is that we had been planning on having friends over for Thanksgiving, and those plans seem to be solid. So while we have this issue between us we are still a couple with things to celebrate our thankfulness for with friends. And to Sara: Thank you for your words. It is tragic that relationships are torn up so much over this stuff. I'm sure if I was the woman I would also be pretty worried and upset too. It's funny to me, though, that I don't really see what the big deal is! I'm still me, after all, and in fact, I'm getting BETTER. Sure, we have some social crap to consider. I'm okay with that. But within my own home I would think it would be okay to be ourselves. Be well, Emma

So that's where "Serenity Now" is from. I heard it a lot a while back, but never knew where it originated. I was never much into Seinfeld. I'm not religious at all, but even I've heard of the Serenity Prayer; although to be fair, I didn't know it was called that, and I thought it was more of an aphorism than an actual prayer. (I believe I've generally heard it quoted without the "Lord" at the beginning.) Of course, being the sci-fi geek girl that I am, the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word "Serenity" is the ship from Firefly... And I should just say... my strange sense of humour got a chuckle out of the fact that a posting titled "Serenity Now!" received its first comment from someone named Serenity! :lol:

Yes I did from an app called Superimpose.
