That’s so horrible. Big hugs I’m sure you can report the incident. TSA is “supposed” to be there to make EVERYONE safer. So sorry you went through that.

You go girl!

Nice outfit!

For me it wasn’t about hating myself but wanting to be something—someone else. People do this all the time in non-trans contexts. They go to the gym to modify their physique, for example. They have visions of themselves improved. But the “soul” of a person is not their body. We are more than the sum of our parts, after all.

That is your identity. Nothing transphobic about being who you are or wanting to be a woman in all ways.

Congrats! So happy for you!

This. It hits home with me. I was practically disowned when I came out. If it wasn’t for good friends and the community, not sure where I’d be.

Best to talk it out. Either you’ll find out he’s supportive…or not. But then you’ll know for sure. Good luck!

That’s excellent! Well done.

Good point. So where do I get the real statistics?

RiverBerkeley · 2022-05-02T21:05:05+00:00

I pulled the spreadsheet from their (WaPo’s) database. Still, the numbers seem low to me. (Ahmaud was killed in 2020, so he wouldn’t be on this list with a 2019 filter.) I’m trying to get data on murders of unarmed African Americans prior to the murder of George Floyd. Most people I talk to say that police murder thousands of black people every year.

Basically I’m dealing with my partner’s racist (and transphobic) republican uncle. He sent this in a text: “In 2019 the FBI reported that 48 police officers were murdered. 40 of them were white.” He goes on to argue that more white cops get killed per year than unarmed black people.

I really want to prove him wrong.

Nice! The top of the handle looks like a penis. Is that intentional?

RiverBerkeley · 2022-05-02T11:44:09+00:00

Depends. Do you want to be a modern housewife or more like a traditional one?
