but I'm a whole lot happier
That's pretty much it
Come see the secret forum that I've had for over two years.

Yeah, and that's what it's all about man... it's life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Those are probably the most profound words ever spoken, and that principle is what has made America the greatest Nation on this planet. Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness. We are guaranteed the enjoyment of these Constitutionally guaranteed rights but beyond that we have inherent human rights.
"But I'm a whole lot happier" says it all for me Ron. Yeah I'll goof on you like always, and make jokes or whatever, but at the end of the day you'll still be my friend, You're still Ron, and I'm still Mike.
Just don't ask me to do a slow dance with you at the Lazs sleepover, OK? I know that Bruce Hornsby is a great tune but damn man.... I don't know what I'm grinding against.
Right now I'm more confused than youy even.

Thank you, Mike.

99.9999% of this transtesticle shit is attention seeking and indoctrination. I cannot understand the eagerness to enable and encourage the delusions. This is not to be in any way confused with loving or caring about the person involved which should be done.
get them away from ANY and ALL influence of those encouraging it, nothing good will come of it and you need to check out the staggering suicide rates.BTW read the post as genuine concern, because it is exactly that, not an attack

haha!
Thank you, Mike.
Seriously, Ron- what can I say? Those that love you will still love you and that that don't never did.

Well, if Nuke was a 19 year old kid jumping on this boat, I'd have some reservations...but he's FIFTY-THREE...shit...he's damn near dead anyway....

At my age, if Im going to start dressing up it'll be as batman, not little bopeep.

No Name is right... We've got to sent nuke to the re-education camp.

Why should you be pleasantly surprised people would rather see you happy than miserable? My sister in law's child was born a girl and was unhappy, miserable, not comfortable- then at about age 12 she transitioned. Now his name is Ashton, and he's almost 18 years old and he is a delightful and very happy young man.
I understand where Razer is coming from but who uses what restroom is more symbolic that practical. If my wife uses a rest room I don't give it a second thought, even if, by law, Nuke is allowed to use the same restroom. Where I get crazy is stopping at the ATM every evening for our banking and then I damn sure accompany her to and from.
Anyway I do understand Razer's POV but like I said, symbolism vs. practically. I don't believe allowing Nuke to use the ladies' room will put my wife at an increased risk of sexual assault.
The problem is that the rate of suicide before transition, and after transition is basically identical. Both are incredibly high vs. normal population. So that indicates to me some sort of underlying mental illness that transition doesn't solve.
Would a schizophrenic be happier if we just let him run free? (Just to be clear, I'm not equating gender disphoria with schizophrenia, just pointing out the silliness in letting one mental illness humor their illness, while forcing treatment on the other.)

That seems like an apples to oranges example. Pretty sure skitzos are more of a danger to others and themselves...

Yeah, I don't think so.

It's true.

A liberal woman was shopping at her local supermarket where she selected: A half-gallon of 2% milk, A half carton of eggs, A quart of orange juice, A 2 lb. can of coffee, And a 1/2 lb. of hamburger and a bag of cat food. As she was unloading her items on the conveyor belt to check out, a man wearing a Veteran ball cap standing behind her watched as she gave a disgusted look away and placed the items in front of the cashier.
While the cashier was ringing up her purchases, the Veteran calmly stated, "You must be single."
The liberal woman was a bit startled by this proclamation, but she was Intrigued by this military mans intuition, since she was indeed single. She looked at her six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about her selections that could have tipped off the Veteran to her marital status.
Curiosity getting the better of her, she said "Well, you know what, you're absolutely correct, but how on earth did you know that?"
The Veteran replied, "Cause you're ugly"!

I realize gay is not the same as trans tho... it can be.. but my family experience has been with the gay. what they have in common tho is that both are unhappy with the 'norm' and... straight non crossdressing is the norm. And both.. so far as males anyway.. go against the very essence of what most of us think of as male.
Sooo... in my brothers case and others I have know I was always amazed that they had the guts to admit it. I mean... I can't even imagine what that must be like. I have never actually been all that normal.. this I do know but I was lucky that other than stuff storch thinks is perverted.... I was always kinda squarely in the normal range for sex.
So while I can't really empathize ( a trait I am guilty of a lot) with the actual gay or trans thing... I try to look at it like live and let live. I have always done things that people were not real tolerant of but they were just over the top male stuff and really.. . I do not give a fuck and actually get a kick out of some reactions... But most of all... the stuff I do makes me happy.
I sometimes think that not only at the end of the day is happiness the main thing but that there are anti happiness people. You know.. the boss who gives you a shit job and then sees you enjoying it will take you off it. you are not working if you are happy kind of a deal.
Fuck them people.

And... I can not even imagine what it took to come out as a woman to people you have worked with for many years.

regarding the company Christmas thing...
I was a little nervous, but not much. I figured if I am living this way in front of strangers every day, why all of the sudden get all afraid in front of my friends? The craziest thing to me was the FedEx guy. He stopped by to get some food and I ran into him in the hall. He's the only person who had the guts to ask about the changes in me directly. He said "so, are you happy?" and we talked. He even hugged me. But everyone treated me normally.
There a ton of kids running around. Kids are a good test for passing because they don't have any filters. Not one kid looked at me funny.
So I was nervous, but I did it and now I have even more confidence.
Like I keep saying, I would never have the guts to go outside as a woman if I thought I didn't look like one. I would never want to be seen as a freak, and that's pretty much what these big dudes are seen as. I feel very sorry for them.

Damn nuke.. downplay it all you want but I really can't imagine I would have the guts to do something like that. Course.. . I would make one of the worlds ugliest women so there is that....

Well, I'm kind of past being afraid and hiding now. One of the things I used to think in order to get ready for this was that it's really not a big deal from an outside perspective. If I could step outside of myself, I'd not think it was a big deal at all.
Ego and sense of self is an amazing inhibitor in our lives if you think about it. And fear of what people will think is all ego.

Wow.. that is pretty........profound but something most of us can not do. I have been in a few fear inducing situations and yes... you try to step out of yourself.. but ... it is not easy. Admittedly.. most of the things I had to do that to were facing the fear of injury or worse LOL..
But.. failure or embarrassment is huge.. I think tho that stepping out of myself happened when I woke up paralyzed.. from the waist down.. it was hardest at night in the hospital .. trying to not dwell on a life that crippled. Telling myself what I could still do.. and most importantly that .. fuck em.. I was gonna walk out of the hospital on my own two legs.
I will be honest.. I actually believe that was easy compared to the years you have had to wrap your mind around what to do.

Physical pain and disability are a totally different matter. What you have is incredible willpower, both mental and physical. You don't accept defeat or just give up and feel hopeless in pretty scary situations. You're a very strong person, but like you've even said before, maybe not as tough as what everyone sees on the outside. You're a good guy, Lazs, and you really think about things past the surface. I've always liked that about you. You're honest and blunt too.
