I know the HRC up-close and personal from when I lived in Washington, DC, their headquarters city. They are not to be trusted and don't care about us and our needs.  They our dues, gifts, and offerings and use it to advance anything that is not beneficial to transsexuals.  What motivation do they have to care for us?  To be nice to trannies? 

I know gay men who refuse to join HRC because HRC lies like a cheap toupee.  They cannot pronounce the "T" in GLBT so they leave us behind.

Chevron should be arrested for gross air pollution for sponsoring whatever line of lies and bunk HRC will spout.

We who are transsexual need to be on our own.  We are not transgendered, we are transsexual.  We are not the thesis of Bailey's lies-in-print.  We are truly gender dysphoric.  We don't have the financial clout of HRC just yet but I know we can speak for ourselves.  We have already done Lobby Days on the Hill.  I gave housing to our sisters who were going to the Hill.

Have a look at TS Symposium and see if it makes any sense for us.  Here's the link:    http://www.ts-si.org/  This organization is of transsexuals, by transsexuals, and for transsexuals.  It has no other agenda.  Have a look and let us all consider approaching them as a group, however loosely we here might define it, and giving them whatever we can to further our own cause.

It sure beats what the HRC has done for us.

In a way, I concur with you Wing Walker.  I don't like the term transgender either, and to be honest, the term transsexual sounds rather offensive to me as well.  I've lived as a woman for many years; I've already had SRS, my transition is over, so when people label me as a transsexual, I find it very demeaning and  inappropriate.  BUT those are just my feelings and my views.  Someone else may be comfortable being labeled as TG or TS, and that is perfectly fine as well.

Now, we have to keep in mind that Susan's is here to help the entire Transgender community; this site is called Susan's Place Transgender Resources, and regardless of what we like or want to be called, the main objective of Susan's is to provide support for all transgendered people, meaning that this site is not only here for transsexuals but for everyone who identifies as transgendered (CD's, TV's, androgynes, drag queens, drag kings, people who identify as gender queer, etc, etc, etc.)

Incidentally, thank you for the link you provided.

Hi, Tink,

When my GRS is done and my birth certificate corrected, I, too, will no longer have any thoughts of my transsexuality rolling about in my head.  It will be done.  Only I will have the power and authority to connect me with transsexuality.  I talk, walk, look, behave, and do a whole bunch of other things as I perceive a woman, this woman, to do.  How do I know?  Grandmother Estrogen has done miracles for me.

Since I started my transition in 2001 I have given thanks every day for my Creator allowing me the inestimable gift of having been born transsexual, to live two lives in one lifetime, with two bodies inhabiting the same "platform," if you will.  Firm breasts at age 56 are pretty nice to me.  I have been positive and upbeat about my transition since the first day I  started on it.

I don't give two hoots and a holler about how others perceive me.  No one has identified me as the wrong gender in a long time and that poor fool won't do that again.

I will have an issue with which to deal:  I have been supremely gifted to be the female me after the male me.  I need to pay this back by helping others who are transsexual.  I could do that without saying anything about my prior lifetime but I doubt that it will work.  Sort of reminds me of Bill Clinton telling me that, "I feel your pain."  A balance will be made and I will be fine.  How do I know?  Because I won't accept anything less.

I am not certain what is being discussed here outside the part about transsexual. Well that was where I began, from that which dogged me down the road of transition. The rest is history that I have already written several times in part all over this message board. When I am on this board I am Transsexual and I socialise with not just transsexuals, but also whom ever else I may find in the many rooms here. I don't really dwell or am I bothered much with the labels, sheeeeeeesh they sure had enough of those on the Yahoo Indigo adults group which I use to attend.

No I just simply like to associate with different folks and I don't care about what their labels are. When I shut down this computer I put on my cape on and become just another ordinary woman out there, a slightly odd one at that, and I mean odd as in my personality but then that was the me that I came out as on the other end of the GID grinder. I wouldn't change one atomic particle of myself, not even in one strand of hair.

I am not sure what we're talking about here either.  I think I have said everything I wanted to say.  As far as the events are concerned (including the HRC ones), I will keep on posting them as I have been.  With this, I now return you to your regular programming.  And by the way, this thread is now locked as well.
