I was reading an article which says that Proposition 8 may pass in California. I haven't given up hope since we still have a couple of months until the election. Anything can happen in that time. I unfortunately no longer live in California, but I would urge anyone from CA who votes, to vote against this proposition.
What I do not understand is WHY the Religious Right cannot live according to what they believe and to let the rest of us alone. i suspect that when they started having victories in the 1980s, that gave them a lust for powerfor which they have not yet lost the taste.
Sooner or later, though, there will be same-sex marriage in every state. The Religious Right will
lose.

Tired Of Political Correctness
In this whole fracas with the childfree community, I have again met something I have loathed since my time as aTrotskyite: political correctness. Who really gives a damn what breeders think? I certainly don't. I think we should start our own board and make it a refuge for those who feel what they feel and to hell with political correctness! Those childed people who are nothing more than "breeders" (yes, there IS a difference between "breeders" and "parents") do not determine our reality.
The big stink was because I had the NERVE to say I didn't feel sorry for this woman at Will's work who has been advised not to become pregnant because of medical issues. She did so anyhow and ended up with one child dying a few days after birth, and a subsequent miscarriage. She was TOLD and yet she was so selfish that she just HAD to have a baby and now that tragedy has struck twice the whole world is supposed to stop for the obligatory moment of chest-beating.
I beg to differ and if groups like cf hardcore and others don't like it well, too bad. I make no apology for it. Breeders don't like it? Good, then start being PARENTS and do the hard work of controlling and guiding your children! And if you are that damned determined to have children, then ADOPT!!

Actually...
As my old friend used to say, "They (cf_hardcore) don't feed me, f***k me, or pay my rent." I don't owe them a damned thing, certainly not an apology for speaking my mind.
It was only after being banned that all the putdown posts were put up. This tells me that they are cowards--only a coward strikes at someone who cannot fight back.
Also I have vastly more important things to worry about...given that the fight for marriage equality in this country seems to be endless. It's a case of fighting the same battle over, and over ,and over again. I will expend my energy on something worthwhile, not a bunch of immature adolescents. I don't know them, they don't me, so nothing is owed on either side.

Childfree--But Only The Way I Say
I find it rather interesting that I was banned from CF Hardcore after only one day. Must be because some of the mods are at CF hardcore are also over at my fomer site.
I do not repent of what I said. The moo in question was irresponsible for having a child when there is a high possibility of miscarriage or death. I'm supposed to give a self-centered spoiled person sympathy for a situation which she brought on herself. Well, to all the dingoes at cf_hardcore: I do not and will not. I note that after one poster started in, the rest of the pack started in. Just very interesting.

The Voyage Continues
It seems I have been forever on this voyage. Being transgendered amongst those who do not understand transgender is pinful, but always a chance to educate.
Many, even in the GLBT community do not understand that even though I have not started hormone therapy or surgery (economics and age), I am still a man inside. I am not a lesbian who is afraid to face that fact, nor does the fact that I am trannyfag make me a straight woman who cannot deal with being attracted to men. I very much feel like a gay man inside. My spouse, who is also trannygay understands this.
I think what hurts the most is that I have been misunderstood, even in the LGBT community. I expect this sort of thing from straight people. But to have a lesbian tell me to simply identify as lesbian (which I could do since my spouse is also pre-op/presurgery FTM who cannot have the surgery due to immune issues) was surprising and hurt, as I consider this person to be a friend. The problem here is that neither of us consider ourselves to be lesbians. How would some lesbian like it if I were to dismiss how she identifies herself?
Ever since young, I have felt wrong in this body. I remember being little and seeing a group of boys. I knew that I ought to be dressed like them. Growing up, my mum, who recently passed away, finally told me a few years ago that she accepted me as transgendered and that after thinking about my childhood, there were things which indicated, based on what she knew about trangendered people, that I was male in a female body.
I am fully committed to this journey. I guess we'll see where it goes from here on.
