  • To observe your observation a little, this forum is mostly white middle class dudes talking to other white middle class dudes, isn't it? So any topic would have the same makeup.



    I agree with your overall point though, that perhaps I (speaking only for me here) am not the best person to be making decisions regarding what trans folks should or should not be "allowed" to do, outside obviously criminal behavior.
    I gotta little bit of smoke and a whole lotta wine...

      Before my boob job, several cis women whined at me about how their back hurt and I was going to regret it and I shouldn't. Eventually, I started telling them to shut the hell up and take an ibuprofen if their back hurt.

            • Amy lost tonight; didn't get the final Jeopardy question.

              But my community is really proud of her and I am grateful for her positive representation of us

              • MT can I ask perhaps a delicate question and if it's tone deaf tell me to **** and I gladly will. : ^ )

                I know for many years you were quite the active runner. Since you started your transition did you keep up with that? if you did continue running and/or resume running at some point did the physical changes you went through have a noticeable impact? I'm not asking this from that lame conversation about "competing against women" I'm just curious overall if it was difficult for you to get back into it, and did you find yourself having to adjust your routines.

                  I slowed way down. My half/25K times were 15 minutes slower on average. Also, because I overdid it, I lost the cartilage at the talonavicular joint on my right foot, leaving me in immense pain, and I was forced into retirement after a joint fusion that never fused.

                    Wow - thanks for the reply and sorry you had to go through that. Especially since running was something you enjoyed.

                      An impressive run. Everyone will be looking to the matchup between her and Matt Amodio during TOC if it can come to pass.

                      Also, the guy who beat her looks like a character from the board game Guess Who.

                            I've been on this board for 17 years. In that time, I've survived:

                            Extreme swings in weight, never really achieving maintenance until last year.

                            After a surgical wound popped open May 2010 in a Chicago hotel room, I didn't know I bled all night until I woke up with the sheets soaked in blood. I was taken to a local ER.

                            Two car accidents, one of which gave me a concussion and the other one gave me a sharp stabbing pain in my left him. Had the (grrrr) who hit me in that one going 55 on a suspended license hit me square in the door, I'd have been killed. Instead he hit me in the driver's side fender, causing me to spin. I shook glass out of my dress after that.

                            3 rounds of sciatica.

                            Being taken from a race course while running due to dehydration. Twice.

                            All tied together with a depressed, bipolar, anxious, ADHD, addictive, trauma brain constantly screaming "F YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME, MOTHER F'ER!"

                            Given that reason says I should have died a few years ago at best, I'm taking this time as bonus time and I've been playing with house money.
