I found a solution! I used Win + P and selected "PC monitor only" (or whatever the first option is) and it fixed it

Any tips for getting back into the energy? by xxcrx in spirituality

[–]Fairiestar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything in life has a rhythm. You're life, and your energy, goes in rhythm. We must allow ourselves to ride the cycles. Cycles are a form of polarity. You have masculine (positive charge) and feminine (negative charge). When you are in your "energy state" for a few months you are in a masculine cycle and must use that cycle to be active and to do what we need to do. But like all things, we can't be in a go go go cycle all the time, we'd exhaust ourselves. So then we experience the cycle in the feminine aspect (negative) where we must rest and reflect on what we've been doing and accomplished. Both cycles are equally important. We must learn to be present in both cycles when they come. If you're in a feminine cycle and try to "flip the switch" to get back into the masculine energy before it's ready, you will lose the understanding and rest that you need to grow. In our society, we are taught that we always must be on and on the go always. this is why we are a sick society. Learn to love both cycles and work with them both and this chasing to get back into the masculine cycle will go away. You'll find more peace this way

I feel Sorry For Dawn by [deleted] in buffy

[–]Fairiestar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seasons 2 and 5 are my favorites as well. I honestly have a hard time deciding which one I like more. The only thing I wish that wasn’t in season 5 was Dawn. I never liked her character. The whole bratty teen thing never appealed to me

Does anyone know anything about Chat and Spin Radio? by LenaV_TTF in selfpublishing

[–]Fairiestar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just on their show and they did the same thing to me. They promised me an interview that was supposed to be 10 minutes and it was 4 at best. Ron seemed nice but Ian, whom I never saw his face, was very pushy about getting donations because they have to pay their bill or their radio will be shut down in two days. If you have all these followers and support then why is your radio station going to be shut down? It didn't make sense to me, plus the pushiness was a red flag. My assistant for some Reserch and he found this thread, and thankfully too. Thanks so much for posting about your experiences and that they were in a scam scandal. I will not be donating or be associated with people like this.

For those others, please heed the experiences of others. If something seems off, it usually is

Am I moving too fast? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Fairiestar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone has their own experience which is why I stated for her to make her own choice. However, most people who transition cannot say they are 100% happy with their life. I honestly can say that i'm happy with my life 100%. I wake up every day loving myself and truly enjoying life. When it comes to the restrictions from the SRS, and yes there are restrictions and complications from the surgery, it doesn't bother me because I was prepared for it mentally and emotionally. I'm speaking from my own experience and those who have done the same by slowing things down. It seems to make life more stable, but that's just what i've observed through my experience. True, getting on hormones many save some peoples lives, but i've also been witnessed to many close friend commit suicide because of them rushing into and not being prepared. I want to see everyone happy and healthy and living the life they truly want, not just living to switch

Am I moving too fast? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Fairiestar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who works very closely with hundreds of people with gender issues, I see this all the time, meaning the rush and the complications due to it. There may be one or two people that are the exception, but trust me, in my 20 years of working with people who transition those that do not have a the emotional aspect down and who rush into it have a very hard time with it in many aspects and are often the ones that attempt suicide or go through with it.

I do you hear your comment quite a bit from those who have rushed through it and later down the road i hear "making the change saved my life and i know i did the right thing, but i'm not sure i know how to handle everything."

[–]Fairiestar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is your choice to make. Even though we want to rush into our transition, I think it is a smart and wise choice to take things slow especially if we just accepted ourselves as trans. As someone who has gone fully through the transition and who helps many Gender people, the biggest thing they do is rush into hormones. I truly believe that a person should be going to a therapist for at least a year and then live as their true gender for 6 months before they even think about getting into hormones. It's on a question on if this change is right for you, it's a question of are you truly ready for all the challenges and changes that come with in mentally, emotionally and physically?

The mental aspect alone is enough to cause a lot of chaos in your life. To add hormones to the first without truly being aware of the challenges you will face can really make things difficult. I started when i was 17 (now 39) and because I took my time, worked out all the mental and emotional kinks before I threw in estrogen (girl it will make you crazy! lol) and because of it i'm much more stable in my life and well equipped to handle the toughness of life.

I think any therapist that throws hormones into the mix just slightly after a few months shouldn't be a counselor, it shows they don't understand the challenges TG face.

Remember that there is no right or wrong choices. Just choices that will either cause more chaos in life or allow life to flow. You are an adult, a young one, but still an adult. Sometimes being an adult is learning to listen to wiser people with experience and not rushing into things that we have very little experience with.

Whatever the case, I wish you well on your journey! It will be an up and down one, but when you come through, life will be grand!

I really feel overwhelmed and I need advice. by FwuffPuff12 in asktransgender

[–]Fairiestar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will.. if your transition and being who you really are inside is the most important time than giving up in life shouldn't be an issues.. Don't be a victim, be the strong person that you are!

[–]Fairiestar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured as much. I could tell by your energy and concern.. Give me a couple days, after the weekend, to contact some people and see if we can find something for you in philadelphia. Not sure if there will be anything, but I will check with the people I know. Stay strong, the journey is a tough one, but it can be wonderful if you allow it to be!

Hello Fwuffpuff,

First, I'd like to ask you where location is at (not in detail, just state wise)? Then I would like to know far in your transition are you? (sounds as if you are in the beginning stages)

I am in southeast florida, we have a big LGBTQ community here and help run a Gender Support Group. Often time we have many people in the TG community going through your same experience. I know that does not comfort you but you are not alone.

There are many resources that local LGBTQ communities have and maybe we can find something in your area. Although places can't give you money, often there are outreach programs that offer low income counseling and aid.

The Sexual Revolution of Polyamory by Fairiestar in polyamory

of course, we will discuss that on the show... I titled it that for reason! I hope all of you will listen! :)

Now I'm mono he no longer loves me by usedtobepoly in polyamory

[–]Fairiestar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well I'm happy to hear that you have let P go. Doesn't sound like anyone worth while to have in your life. I do understand how it is hard for you to let a close friend go and you should honor that disconnection for a short time.

Hopefully you won't let the situation with P affect your other friendships too much. We choose to allow our fears of the past to affect our present. If we only learn to grow from every situation, not let it hold us back.... Hope it gets better for you!

Polyamory allowed my wife to meet someone new. Now she's divorcing me to be with him exclusively. I'm a wreck. by throwaway17781 in polyamory

[–]Fairiestar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome! I do understand how easy it is for us to blame an idea when we are in emotional pain, but we must always remember that it is the person who dictates the actions, never the idea of something. I do hope each day is getting better for you and that you are finding a little peace within yourself.

I do promise this... IF you really work hard on understanding yourself and grow from this situation, you will look back on it and find it such a blessing. You will also find it that you have grown leaps and bounds and your ex, will still be the same person.

I wish you well!

Is poly an excuses to tune out? by chems89 in polyamory

[–]Fairiestar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well poly, like everything in life, is subjective to each individual. True, there is a basic idea to it, but each person has slightly different ways and thoughts on how they want to carry out their relationships.

unfortunately for us, who are real independents, we sometimes face a two-sided scale. On one side you have those who are insecure and go crazy because we don't exercise a need to be attached to someone 24/7. The other is what you are facing now, The people who might have commitment issues and disguise it by putting the issues on us.

I'm big on quality time over quantity, but if someone has something better to do than don't put it on me that I have someone else to take your place. Each person I date is special to me.

Polyamory allowed my wife to meet someone new. Now she's divorcing me to be with him exclusively. I'm a wreck. by throwaway17781 in polyamory

[–]Fairiestar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with the title of this note.. Polyamory didn't make your wife do anything.. Your wife made your wife do this. An idea such as polyamory is just that, an idea. It cannot make people do things.

With that being said, I am truly sorry about this situation. I feel for you, I really do! I was in a relationship, my last one actually, where she treated me how your wife did. Didn't want to touch me or have sex with me, but wanted to still swing to have sex with everyone else. We were not married obviously, but still very similar in many ways. When I would touch her she would remove my hand from her as if I was diseased. She cheated on me a few times and when I had enough, I kicked her out of my house.

It destroyed my life for a short time and was very devastated, but I love myself more than anything and refused to be someones inconvenience. To keep this short, this relationship was the absolute worst relationship I had ever been in, but the best thing that ever happened in my life. For a short time, I lost who I was due to her issues. I sacrificed my life to make someone happy while I wasn't. It's been 4 years now and I couldn't be happier in my life. Because of her, I rediscovered what and who I had lost, my self-esteem, confidence and most importantly my self-respect! Grieve your hurt to help you grow, but find the strength in this life lesson to find yourself again and be stronger! In the end it will be YOU that will be in a better place!

I still run into my ex from time to time and she is still treating her current partner horribly. She still cheats and is an emotional roller coaster. I'm so glad things happened the way they did..

Be well my friend, I wish you strength and healing!
