I've got a two-fer. Garlic Ice-cream and celery -soda? They're both delicious, for those that dare....

OK, ok... how about this? I only seem to be wrong... to the untrained eye.

I don't follow politics. May I send you a private message to get more details on that?

What are you going thru? Can you give me an idea?

FWIW, psychological transference occurs in a medium. Like ripples in water. The medium is "caring" or "significance".

Good Morning, Maddie.

yes no, you're still misunderstanding no, not that either no, not that either

... a new reality for them. ... which includes trans people who are accepted for who they are. ... which includes trans people who are being traumatized thru no fault of their own simply by being born and socializing.

Agreed. I was not intending otherwise. yes

They are being confronted with a new reality which includes trans people.

Blessings to you @sean, wherever you roam.

I will. I promise. Whoever you are now, and whoever you choose to be, moment to moment, I accept you, Rose. Thank you for the very moving words. Sincerely,

This album, yes vinyl, was one of my favorites as a young boy ( 6, 7, 8 ... ). This song from the album is particularly relevant to your comment. "William wants a doll."

I think there's some additional value to what I wrote. Maybe now is not a good time to discuss it. I apologize for raising the question.

... the mind. Processing a new reality produces turbulence in the psyche. It's like the mind is being shaken.

A lot of people are worried. For many different reasons. The extent varies, naturally. The women in my family are very troubled. Deeply concerned. Distraught. Angry. The initial shock seems to have passed. I'm trying not to interfere.

I think it's more than that because the other individual's identity is not being being challenged. Being confronted with a trans-person has no bearing on how the individual views themself. Nothing has changed about their cis-gendered identity after the interaction. ( I'm excluding trans-folk who have not come to terms with their own identity yet ).

"... I don't know why."
