Dear Dawn, Felt very safe when I was in Seattle, but I kept everything daytime (and I sense most others did, too, Gay and Straight) because most activities at the Seattle LGBT Center, were in the daytime. Think you could be openly T/LGB, such as PDA (public display of affection, such as hand holding) only in "Gay City," a neighborhood that the LGBT Center was located in. Only now am I catching up with my Blog, as I got serious ill (from a pre-existing condition) and it took me a month to recover, and I am still seeing specialists about it. Your friend, Monica

Dear Friends, Am going on a fact finding (but still fun!) trip to Seattle to see if I should continue on the 2 - 3 year wait list I have been on to get into Seattle Public Housing. Hope to upload useful information every day, including pictures. Presently the public housing I am in (Dutchess County, New York State - although it has shown improvement recently, it is still very trans and homo phobic), and the housing itself is going very quickly downhill. Of course, it is unrealistic to have high expectations of public housing, due to its very nature. Presently, I am looking at three properties, with one standing out as being near the light rail and has nearby supermarkets, banks, restaurants, etc. Will be reporting on the positives and negatives of living in Seattle. Please feel free to ask me questions, and I will try to answer them. Yours truly, Monica

The average height of women in the US is 5'4" But in parts of Europe can be 5'7" In the US men are close to 6'

The average weight of women world wide is about 169 pounds - wow! Does seem like a lot. The most I ever weighed in my life was 170. Currently I am at 160 and going back down.

Thanks Monica - I will be adding lots more info to this site - still learning the format - - - Behavior? Yes! This can be driven by hormones - mental frame of mind - upbringing - Just thinking. Calling it a day - but I am very engaged in this topic. Dawn

All the above women weigh the same - about 169 pounds - the current world average.

Dear Dawn, To me, the major determinant as to a person being a woman or a man is behavior. In high school, I had a Straight girlfriend who was 6'4". Also in high school, I knew a 3'8" man, who was also Straight. Have known men and women of every shape and size, of all genders and sexual orientations. Heavy and fine bones are found in both men and women. Ultimately, I look between the ears as character is all-important. Dawn, I find you very ladylike. As for myself, I was accused as being butch on the outside and fem on the inside, when what I really am is a well-mannered mid-butch Lesbian. Think we should strive for consistency in behavior, while leaving room to grow. Behavior should steadily change for the better as we grow. Your friend, Monica

I used to live in Washington State. You would think Seattle would be more open. Will be praying and believing for your safety.
