Butch lesbians and tomboys are welcome but feminine trans-women are excluded? I support having a women’s only space in which to party and rock out. It seems the application was misguided though.

The photo does not bother me, nor do I have any issues with her sharing the photo to the entire world audience. I think it’s fine. The reason I think it’s fine is because my own mother was SO religious, SO self-censored, SO self-oppressed and so full of absolute shame for anything remotely human and I have spent my…

BogartCat, I do understand. He needs to clean his hands, especially given your health issues. There are some things you can do, and I know you probably already do them but I feel I should mention them anyway. Every day, spray all door knobs, door handles, remote controls, flat surfaces and light switches with…

You are right- I should have been more clear and thoughtful in my initial post. I definitely see what you mean.

Yes, I do see everyone’s point and I appreciate all the kind feedback. It’s legal here with a card, which my wife has for multiple sclerosis.

Right? It is insane. Who? Why? ....? To me it’s like reading how the rich and fabulous are purchasing $1000 tomatoes.

Well, thanks. I guess I’m just weird- to me it would seem strange to purchase such a thing but obviously I’m in the minority, which is what I was wondering about.

You can be fined or prosecuted if caught, but keep in mind, it’s a single plant, not a huge commercial operation with distributors. And it goes from seed to death in less than 3 months total, so it’s not like there’s this huge amount of illegal activity in my house. One plant lasts me for a year or two depending on…

Inside, and it really does not use that much electricity. It’s a single grow light. The old grow lights of the past used a lot of electricity but that’s not the case anymore. My electrical bill never gets above $220 per month...?

I guess you are right. Honestly I assumed people just grew their own and gave it to their friends who might rent, or be unable to grow some for whatever reason. I guess being 46 I thought that buying it was something people did in the 80’s or 90’s, unless it’s something gourmet.

Don’t most people just grow their own weed? This is a serious question- I’ve grown my own for over a decade and never thought much about it. One or two plants, right in my kitchen on the counter. I have a grow light right above where they sit. AK47. Seriously, doesn’t everyone do this? What is so Hi Dollar about WEED?…

it has come to my attention that he wishes for us to vote for Jill Stein.

...wait. She has a GoFundMe?!!???

Actually, you make a great point here. There really are some nasty people on the interwebs who publish the most disgusting, awful propaganda about trans people (dirtywhiteboi comes immediately to mind). I’m glad to see this guy looking great, healthy and being out and proud. I guess i’ve been transitioned for so long…

I am 43 and trans (FTM). I do not see this guy as being any sort of activist nor breaking down any gender stereotypes or barriers. He is meeting male stereotypes of attractiveness and not challenging those norms. The fact that he used to be outwardly identified as female is a distraction and not the real issue. He’s a…

Thank you for your compassion. We did not go to conventions, but we did travel to attend revivals. Also, we had to go out “into the world” which meant out to public streets and areas of commerce, and “witness” to others. I was one of those annoying teens/young adults who would go up to people and hand them a tiny New…

You hit the nail on the head.

I was raised in a Pentacostal church, washed in the blood of the lamb, raised within a spirit-filled congregation, speaking in tongues, praying in the spirit, being healed in God’s merciful light. When I was a struggling, almost-suicidal 21 year old who had never had a relationship, I went to the front during the…
