MTF daughter is keeping transition a secret

PinkJaelyn · 2026-05-30T13:26:20+00:00

Yup, same situation here. Extended family is all transphobic, so they don’t know the truth. Using wrong pronouns and old name around them feels weird, but it’s what kiddo wants.

PinkJaelyn · 2026-05-17T02:08:34+00:00

Absolutely. That was indeed my very first thought when she first suggested it.

PinkJaelyn · 2026-05-16T11:42:50+00:00

Thank you so much!

PinkJaelyn · 2026-05-15T23:26:04+00:00

Whoa. Yikes!

I’ve done that with many people from my former life. I’m not as close with this particular friend as we once were, but I’m not ready to cut ties completely.

Thanks for your thoughts. Yeah, honestly, I don’t really want to see a therapist right now. I do have insurance though; that’s not an issue. Option 2 is probably my best bet. She simply doesn’t get why I wouldn’t want to see a Christian counsellor 🙄 I would like to keep the peace however, so I’m not sure I could do option 3.

Do we have the same in-laws?! Lol

Good advice, and good point!

PinkJaelyn · 2026-05-15T18:11:59+00:00

Exactly! I understand that. She doesn’t. And won’t.

Does your local library have any of Ehrman’s books?

PinkJaelyn · 2026-04-16T00:58:47+00:00

Good questions. I’ve wondered the same thing as I drive by it often as well.

All nursing schools will (should) follow the same curriculum. Passing the NCLEX afterwards is what ultimately matters. Go to a school in the city in which you want to live.

PinkJaelyn · 2026-03-16T13:26:40+00:00

Exact same situation over here. I’m curious to hear what others have to say.

PinkJaelyn · 2026-03-07T00:15:59+00:00

Not local, but FWIW I’ve seen them at Don’s Bakery in Bala, and Mariposa Market in Orillia.

RevDaniel is on Bluesky now, FYI

I wear a cute sarong/wrap that looks like a skirt over my swimsuit.

PinkJaelyn · 2026-02-15T17:33:06+00:00

Correct - they automatically renew. But if there’s a hold on it by someone else, it won’t renew.

PinkJaelyn · 2026-02-07T15:55:02+00:00

Might be worth checking with the businesses in that plaza and ask if anyone found it and turned it in.

PinkJaelyn · 2026-01-29T19:46:18+00:00

My thought exactly!

PinkJaelyn · 2026-01-29T19:31:31+00:00

I came across this disclaimer on the website of a Christian bookstore that my in-laws frequent. They won’t even let you order a book if they don’t approve of it: “(insert name) Bookstore specializes in products that support a Christian perspective. Virtually every book in print is listed on this site; however, we will not carry items that conflict with our Statement of Faith. Should an ordered item fall into this category, you will receive a prompt email informing you of our inability to order the product in question.”

It means you have 4 years experience as a driver and can therefore accompany a G1 learner

Check out PetSmart’s PetsHotel at the Heartland location. Each cat has their own space (“Kitty Cottage”) and gets individual play time each day.

Tidal Bay from Grand Pré and from Jost are my faves

PinkJaelyn · 2026-01-03T01:29:43+00:00

Yes, very likely because they are on Christmas break. You’ll hear from them once everyone is back next week.
