I love reading stories like this, more trans men having positive news articles.

Thanks, this is one of the best I've seen in a while.

I have known or known of a large number of trans men who are way more attracted to other men than they are to women and yet marry or partner with women. I do not get that. Seems the case with this marriage. I also don't get being married to someone who is more hot for a gender that is not yours. To each his or her own. But I don't get it.

Indeed, I try to find more positive instead of negative.

Hey.......Is anyone planning on attending First Event in the Boston area this year? I'm planning on going Saturday and thought it would be nice to lunch with anyone who might be attending from this site.

Pennsylvannia
 
The Governor of the state has named a woman to the office of Physican General, which is the highest office a transgendered person has achieved in Pennsylvannia.

Congratulations to Dr. Rachael Levine!

To my knowledge, there isn't actually a case yet where they have paid. However, Dr. Marcie Bowers has been willing to do surgery under the assumption that they will pay.

I clicked on the word 'review' in the article and was brought to the Journal where you can get the article. Here it is:

Ugh,I dislike when there is no link to a medical journal but good article.

It appears to be a well-done study, with many citations and sources.

I learned a great deal.

Planet fitness and gym locker rooms in the news

I think it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out.

Interesting. When I had contacted them as a gym one time they said that the sex on my ID had to match which room I'd use for changing. And since that hasn't been altered yet I was like "nope, not going here" simply because it'd be fairly obvious I didn't belong in the women's room.

Hey, Linus. Can I ask why you haven't altered your gender marker on your I.D. yet? I know that you had top surgery, correct?

Good. It's such a rarity that a corporation sticks up for the trans community at all.

The repeated use of 'he' tells me that, despite what she says, she does not get it.
