New Yorker Magazine crosses the line of decency, and makes gays a target all over again!
Hey Peeps,
I'd like to thank the New Yorker magazine for setting LGBT and Gay Marriage BACK 50 YEARS!!!! The unbelievable use of Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street on their cover as some image associated with the gay marriage is UNFORGIVABLE!!!
I support LGBT issues and equality, but I DO NOT support this juvenile pandering by the New Yorker to invoke shock. Now everyone on the right is saying we are all perverts out to get to their children. THIS IS AWFUL!@!!
If you think this is WRONG, and the New Yorker should be boycotted, no matter what side of the gay marriage issue you are on, I think we ALL CAN AGREE to let the New Yorker know this is intolerable.
Please like this, link it, share it, comment, we all need to speak up on this!
thanks,

Some thoughts about HRT
Hi Peeps,
Hey, I wanted to talk a little about HRT, as it is usually 'the' first biggie that TG's deal with, and it's easy to get excited and often a little impatient. Luckily things are much easier and much more accessible today than they were when I was first needing support, information, and HRT way back in the early 80's. Yes, I really AM that old! LOL
Back then, in the 'best' scenario, you had to 'beg' for HRT letters from therapists, and when you got them, you then had to beg a doctor to take on your care. It was dismal, but it laid the groundwork for the much broader accessibility we all enjoy today, so I guess it was worth it (although I have to admit I wish it had been like this back when I was 19).
Nowadays, you don't even need a letter to get on HRT with a good doctor, and many doctors are focusing part, and sometimes all, of their practices to specifically care for the transgendered. To me, this is a beautiful thing.
When I was young, for many TG's the 'only' option ended up being black market hormones, something I do NOT condone. Back then it was often the only option, but today that is simply not the case. There is no need to risk your health, and to not be medically supervised while on HRT. You owe it to yourself to do this smart, to care for yourself. Find a doctor you like, and do this right, in the long run you will thank yourself.
But, if you insist on starting out self-medicating, here's a couple of thoughts:

Transgender Right To Live
So lately Transgender stories and news online have been generating a LOT of hateful comments, and here's my take on it.
So a lot of the most hateful and hurtful comments have been coming from self-proclaimed 'Conservative Texans'. One commenter even told another from Austin that 'Austinites' are also perverts and deviates, and all Texans despise them too!'. Wow !! Harsh!!
So I was thinking. It seems that all the radical Islamist Jihadists (what Americans call 'terrorists') want to kill Americans because we don't think, believe, and live like they do. No other reasons, just that. Which makes me wonder, if 'Conservative Texans' (not my label, they called themselves that), if they want to kill the Transgender because we don't think, believe, and live like them, doesn't that make them terrorists as well? Do they think that Bible spawned hate is somehow more justified than the terrorists Koran (Quran?) spawned hate?
I just don't see how you can denounce one group of terrorists for attacking you, and then turn around and do the EXACT SAME THING to citizens of your OWN COUNTRY!!!
How do we ever expect to move forward as a SPECIES if we can't even see the hate in our own eyes?
Tell me what you think :)

Transgender right to live, don't hurt me!
Hi Peeps,
Okay so here's what I'm thinking....
If you don't like me, my looks, my attitudes and opinions, my lifestyle, whatever, that's fine, it's your right. But if this turns to hatred for me, to where you want to cause me harm, or even kill me, and you do this while still believing in a Christian God, I have just a couple things to say:
"Thou Shalt Not Kill".............. there is no shades of grey on this one
"Judgment is Mine sayeth the Lord".......... no shades here either
"To forgive is Divine"........... I might add it's also humane, civil, and just the right thing to do
Now if you believe in other gods, or no god at all, I still think these are great guidelines to live by. Anyway, be good to each other. Thoughts? Share :)

Distasteful Words thrown at Transgender
Okay just a quick thought. I don't like offensive labels and terms, BUT, if they reveal the harsh reality of a life event I've had, specifically the hateful things people have said to me, then I only include for accuracy. I will still never use profanity in posts.
The thing is that when your are TG, you learn early on about haters, what they think about you, and the terrible things they call you. Do I condone it? Absolutely NOT!!! Is it still a harsh reality of TG life? Unfortunately yes.
If you prefer I leave out the hurtful words that have been placed on me, let me know and I will modify the way I share my experiences.
Remember, I never use these words, but people use them on me.
Thanks,
Amy Within
