An update on this. Thanks to the testimony of a gay senator, two GOP senators were persuaded to vote against it, which was just enough to prevent it from going any further.

When rent goes up it is not always the result of the Landlord's greed....
...increases in property taxes, maintenance costs, changes in local regulations, and
price increases related to additional financial burdens on the Landlord are not
always in their control.
The financial uncertainty in the world today is causing much difficulty for
both Landlords and Renters..... and everyone else.
HUGS, Danielle

A busy morning today. I had to submit letters of income verification to the property management. My rent is based on income and there are tax credits and things that offset how much my rent is.
The certification came back approved so I had to go back to the Property Manager's office and sign a stack of forms. But my lease has been renewed for another year with no increase in rent. WIN!

@sp884 Welcome to Susan's Place and thank you for the introduction!
I am happy that you have submitted the required information and look forward to helping you as much as possible upon approval. Having not seen the questions yet, I am not sure I will be much help. I am a native English speaker so do not have much experience in foreign languages. I studied Latin in high school a LONG time ago and learned German while stationed in Germany for six and half years. Again that was a long time ago and I haven't had much use of it since returning to the States. I have probably forgotten much more than I remember. Good luck with your research and again welcome aboard.

I think the best thing the site provides is a safe place to exchange information and support...not tips on how anyone "should" dress.

I had done 3 months of 1 on 1 training before with a voice coach. She felt I was doing great, and I did well in the lessons but as soon as I left the office and had to think of what I was saying my voice went back to male mode. She had me reading things and that was easy in the fem voice. I didn't have to think of what I was saying. I am going to try and follow this coach's training for now. I am supposed to train 3 times a day and I have been able to do that.
On another note I was on the phone with my health care provider getting my name changed on that and had to sent them a copy of my drivers license. The woman says "you are very pretty". It about blew my mind. Whether she was just being nice or what I don't care. I'm taking it as a win.

I found men's clothing styles stifling and uninteresting. I never got into men's clothing fashion much because everything seemed so boring and ugly. And my style when I was living as a man reflected those feelings. I didn't have any outfits that I really liked or felt like they expressed anything about me.
Women's clothing choices are so much more varied and customizable to express your self. I am by no means a fashionista, but I actually own outfits now that I feel confident and happy in while wearing them. My favorite is my business suit.
Mentorship from more experienced women, whether cisgender or transgender, is important. A lot of transgender women dress like 12 year old girls. And I don't say that to shame anyone. I say it because that is where a lot of start out at. Like a child who is just learning to select and wear their own clothing. Without having had a childhood of living as a girl, we never had those foundational experiences at a young age. So we end up having to navigate the same learning experiences that most women go through in adolescence.
I was fortunate that my wife, mother, and a good friend all helped me to rather quickly figure out how to dress myself and look professional or to dress casual without appearing strange. I definitely recommend listening to other women in your life who are willing to help you learn about clothing and style.
