Isolation is OK, but in my case it means my wife is home all the time and she does not approve of my dressing. So my weekly coffee dates with my friend Pamela have ceased for the time being. I have not been able to dress for 5 or 6 weeks now.
Such is life I suppose. At least I am alive.junr

I never did like Champagne, so I had a bottle of Shiraz and a beer.
A run down the local oval following a training programme for hockey and reading. Keep an eye on my superannuation as it follows the Titanic.
Over 70 so home in isolation with the wife.
Cheers

I watched it from about 15 minutes in, and picked that she was TG from the voice, her walk and her hips. I didn’t realise that they had “outed” her at the start. Even my wife picked up that she was TG with her typical “that’s a man” comment. The wife hates the fact that I like to dress in prettier clothes than her. :cheer:

Thank you Adrian.

I watched this with my unsympathetic wife and it gave her something to think about seeing how the wife was so supportive. Maybe it will herald changes in my spouses attitude to my dressing and gender issues; maybe not but one can only hope.
It was an excellent handling of the issue.

I went swimming in a friends pool in a tankini. My main concern was not to stay in the sun too long so I would not get a tan with the straps and such showing white through the tan. Might have taken a bit of explaining in the showers after hockey.

Savannah was a big user of FaceBook but I have not seen her on for a while. Her “journey” was interesting including her uncertainties. Her wife and daughter seemed to be taking it in their stride, at least that was the impression one got on social media. I did not watch this program, I tend not to see what is on commercial TV, I have limited tolerance of advertisements.

I really don’t know what the safe schools programme entails but hope it clarifies the meaning and acceptability of the various gender and sexual types in the community.
In our political system it is essential that members of parliament be free to express opinions. MPs are not all rocket scientists and they have the same prejudices and ideals as others in society generally. Hence I have no difficulty with this fellow expressing this view however erroneous it is. It is a ridiculous to suggest that this will encourage paedophilia and one wonders if he also feels the earth is flat and was created a thousand years ago by a supreme being.
Be that as it may, if the electorate do not agree with idiots like this then they have the opportunity to unelect them at the next election. While their position is a minority position, unfortunately it possibly reflects the views of a reasonable part of the populace.
What can the leader of the party do, and this applies to the opposition leader as well with Senator Bullock, a good catholic and further to the right than Tony Abbott? Must members follow a party line or should they express what they feel is in the mind of their electorate? Obviously one would hope that these troglodytes could be educated but it is unlikely. Senator Homophobe in SA is certainly unlikely to toe a party line or change his view.

Nothing really new there, it has always been a problem for those who have transitioned that to change ones gender, there needs to be a divorce. And then of course because you cannot have same sex marriage, you cannot remarry.
Mind you these days, marriage seems to be an afterthought for a lot of couples.

My concern was that the majority if CDs are being broadly included with the gay grouping when they are not. It compounds the misconception of a lot of the general populace. I am certainly not homophobic not do I consider this concern to be homophobic.

I tend to agree with Sammie. This subject and what has been written, reminds me of concerns I had with the local CD/TG group taking part in the local Pride Parade. Such involvement reinforces the community perception that CDs and TG people are gay. The first thing my wife asked me when i came out to her was “are you gay?”
To add Queer on the end of the GLBTIQ and then suggesting the separation of GLB from TIQ then indicates that TI = Queer or includes queer. Queer in the community at large is taken as a substitute for Gay, and not perhaps a particularly nice one.
I would prefer not to be included in the GLBTIQ grouping thank you whilst this misapprehension on the part of the community is extant and suggest we would be better off just having TI as our acronym and leaving the GLBQ to carry on without us.
I also wonder whether the fact that I feel comfortable in my skirts and dresses, but also in my male clothes, am I transgender. Or am I just a cross dresser, a man who prefers to dress differently to the majority of the male population?

I watched this all the way through and whilst it had some stereotypes, the controlling BF and the lesbian who did not see the heroine as a woman, it was well presented and acted. It was sympathetically done and I enjoyed it.

I just upgraded my laptop to Win 10 and no problems. I can’t upgrade the desktop which I use for my accounting practice as the software I use has not been proven compatible.
But I had no problems using 10, to me it was very little different from Win7 except that it called programmes apps!
Mind you I only use the laptop on the rare occasion i go off site.
