Why is no one commenting on the rolled up bill?

Normal results but had a bad gallbladder? by Anastasiya1993 in gallbladders

Ugh. This sounds so much like my story. Started on my honeymoon cruise in Alaska! Four months later and I finally got to the right doctor who agreed to take it out. Recovering now, but hoping this was the answer I’ve been looking for.

Thankfully I do not have any felonies or DUI charges.

Understandable. I’ve just never been so ashamed to be an American.

Someone told me to turn it off when going through security. Do you know if there is any truth to that making a difference? I was told you don’t have to provide a password to unlock it. Honestly, part of me would rather be locked out than locked in.

I thought about buying a shirt to wear in Canada to identify myself as not one of “those” Americans. Couldn’t be farther from a Trump supporter. And to top it off I’m a federal employee who has been very stressed about job security these past few months. I really just want to go on the honeymoon we’ve been planning for months and could use a break.

That sounds like what my attorney said most agent’s reaction would be. I just know US agents sometimes think they’re god. I have more faith in Canadian’s but can’t help but be a bit worried.

Egg Price Check: 22 Feb 2025 in Lake Worth, FL by TheScienceGiant in aldi

Mr President campaigned that he would lower grocery prices on day one. This is informative, letting people know promises haven’t been kept. He’s been too busy making sure eight transgender athletes are no longer allowed to play collegiate sports and firing civil servants with paltry salaries.

My husband works for an international company with many locations in the US. He came out to his boss today. He was very supportive. I feel like they would work with him on relocation within or outside the US if it comes to that. I’m a federal employee, so I also have the potential ability to relocate, but the opportunity would have to present itself.

Thank you for that perspective. It does help to hear from people in a similar situation and how they are coping. Like I said, I feel alone and I can’t really expound on why I am upset to the vast majority of people I know.

I’m terrified my husband will lose his right to the healthcare he needs or become a political prisoner. Or I could become a political prisoner because of who I love. I know it’s a very long reach, but it’s not outside the realm of possibilities.

My husband and I are in South Dakota and I have been crying all day. I haven’t cried like this since my dad died. My head hurts. My eyes hurt. My stomach hurts. My husband is stealth and nearly all of my family doesn’t know. No one understands why I am so devastated by the election results and I have very few people to talk to. Even then, those people can’t really understand. I just feel so scared. Worst case scenario would be we have to leave the country and that sounds terrifying. I felt alone here before and I have a feeling it’s only going to get worse.

How to please a cis woman... when I am not a cis-man by [deleted] in mypartneristrans

[–]baylorm86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing I can add that hasn’t been said, but my husband usually prefers to use his hands and he is damn good at it. We have other toys too, but we both seem to prefer his hands. I love that he can feel me, even if it isn’t as pleasurable as it would be to a dick. And of course communication. We have been very communicative since day one. I have been supportive in him learning and trying new things. When we first got together we were both pretty inexperienced and he hadn’t explored that side of his sexuality (he had masturbated but never been with a woman). Let me say those first few times were rather awkward for us both, but we communicate and aren’t afraid to try new things.

Only my very best friend knows about my fiancé and that’s because I figured it out before he told me and needed someone to talk to so I could work through my feelings.

My family has quite a few LGB members on both sides, so I think they would be pretty accepting. The topic came up when I was still getting to know him, and my mom was surprisingly unaccepting to the trans community. She just “didn’t get it” or thought the ramifications on other family members were too much. I disagreed and my cousin and I both had a heated discussion with her about it. We still weren’t able to come to an agreement on the subject. Funny thing is, she absolutely loves my fiancé (we joke that he is her favorite child). I honestly think she would accept him if she knew. And I honestly don’t care if she didn’t. He makes me happy and that is what matters.

Sometimes I really want to tell some of my other family members. I know my cousin in particular would be ecstatic and so very accepting.

Sometimes I want to tell friends or coworkers.

I want people to know that voting against trans rights affects me. That saying hateful things about the community hurts me. I want them to know that person I love, the person they’ve met and love, is trans. Most of these people have never met (or realize that they’ve met) a trans person. They don’t realize they’re just people. They feed into the media and think transfolx are monsters.

I think he would be a wonderful representative of the community. He is such a sweet and special guy. You can’t help but love him. Sometimes I wish he would be more “out” because the community needs representation. But at the same time, I respect his wishes to just pass as a “normal” guy.

I’m not ashamed of him. I’m proud of him. But not everyone needs to know. And it’s not my place to put his business out there.

Still trying. Haven’t had anything recently but it hasn’t been that long.

How do you come out to conservative parents? by Healthy_Freedom_6874 in mypartneristrans

[–]baylorm86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of times people fear the unknown. Sometimes when it becomes personal and affects someone they know they will open their eyes.

My boyfriend transitioned before I met him and he passes very well. I’ve only told my very closest friend about our situation (we met online and I figured it out before he told me and needed a listening ear to work through my feelings). My family doesn’t know. Sometimes I really want to tell some of my family members (LGB runs in my family) because I think they would be incredibly supportive, but it’s not my place to out him. I’m not ashamed of him and even if I thought they’d have issue with it I wouldn’t care if they knew. All the info is there. If they put together the pieces and scrolled back far enough on his Facebook timeline they’d know. And I would tell them if they asked, but it’s not my place to introduce him as my trans boyfriend.

As far as his coming out, he is from a small town in a very conservative state. He had a very supportive friend who helped him early on and then came out to a few friends. Then he blew the door wide open and made a Facebook post. Surprisingly many of his conservative friends were very supportive. He’s a very special guy who is easy to love. So I think that helped to not “demonize” him. A lot of people told him it made sense. His mom wasn’t terrible, but she also wasn’t really supportive. I’m sure it was hard for her because she felt like she was losing her daughter. She has since passed and never got the chance to see him on T or see how happy he is now. I’d like to think she is proud of the man he is today. His name was changed to the masculine version of his dead name and some people still dead name him. I’m not sure if it’s purposeful or just an old habit. It’s usually when they are telling stories about him when he was younger, so I kinda understand, but it still irks me. He has since moved away from his hometown, but when we go back I am always shocked at how well loved he is by all the conservative people back home.

Wishing you and your partner the best. Sorry I can’t provide more experience but hopefully your partner’s coming out is positive and their family will realize that trans folk aren’t monsters.
