I'm sorry- I see more women TODAY than usual, not that other day.I'll be honest, for a moment I thought you were just like "Wow, a bunch of people around here have come out as trans women lately and I'm just realizing how skewed the gender balance is getting because of it" XD
It was lesbian visibility day.

Soooo.... um, Hi!
I've been on the forums since well before this thread was started but pretty much always avoided it as "not my thing", originally for ... less than stellar moral reasons, then later because I didn't think it really applied to me.
Let's just say now that I've done a lot of growing up in the past fifteen-or-so years, and a big part of that was really taking a look at what I believed, why I believed it, if I actually still believed it, and what it said about me and meant for me. And in the aftermath of that, I'm definitely in a very different - and very much healthier, in a variety of ways - personal place than I was when I joined these forums in ... gods, 2008 feels like so long ago....
I want to start with a blanket apology to anyone I've spoken to over the years who I've insulted or hurt in those past days with my often arrogant, self-righteous statements born of stupidity and ignorance. Sadly the years are just too long and the posts too many to track them down individually, and thus a proper one-to-one acknowledgement of my mistakes is probably beyond my capabilities. That, and many of the people I had those old arguments and debates with are likely no longer among the community here, or those discussions are forgotten and I'd rather move on forward than dig up old wounds unnecessarily.
That said... one non-binary asexual better educated in reality and other people than I was in days gone by. Here's to a better future for all of us.

I don't recall us ever having any beef, but if so, it's in the past. Welcome to our little club! We all have had to grow over time. I used to be homophobic, transphobic, racist, misogynistic, etc., but I've grown a lot. I came to realizr that I didn't know I was those things, and I'm a trans woman. I still make mistakes because I'm always growing. That's what makes us become better people in the end.
Welcome!

Hi, Orthos! I was always perfect, so I can't relate to these acknowledgements of past faults*, but it's a normal journey to go through. Super awesome to have you, and Happy Pride! And Happy Gluttony, happy Wrath, etc, etc. You know, we need a New Thassilon festival involving a rainbow motif. Could be a Nocticulan/Prismatic Ray holiday?

I was in much the same position, coupled with being raised in a morality system that said I had to be those things to be a Good Persontm. It took a long while and a lot of exposure to other modes of thought to break that training and get a better understanding of how people and the world at large work, much less a better understanding of myself.

On Friday, June 21st, I have an appointment for a consultation for bottom surgery! I've been waiting more than a year for this! It's only the consultation, so I suspect it's still a year away for the actual surgery. This is such a great thing to happen during Pride month!

I'm doing ok. I just celebrated my 53rd birthday! We planned on going to a water park, but the weather decided that we should do something indoors so we watched Deadpool & Wolverine instead.

I apologize for this, but I need to yell loudly. I have had it up to my gills with the nonsense of the government of the state I live in: Florida.
"Don't say Gay" - Removal of all LGBT discussion in K-12 classrooms.
Book bannings - I can't even count how many
Government saying Pride is "inappropriate" for Florida
and now: acting as if Lawrance v. Texas had been overturned. Apparently Florida's Lewd and lascivious behavior law is still on the books and can be used to prosecute people who hooks up with someone of the same sex.
I feel like I'm living in Nazi Germany. How long before all of my friends are locked up?

Seriously? They know that they are attacking people who can't afford to fight this. It's outrageous.
