The Transcendent Rainbow Cafe - social space for LGBTI members

[Paul]

It would be so great to have a thread here where we can chat about almost anything. We can have fun, tell jokes, share stories, you name it!

There's a "BB Cafe" thread in the general area where lots of people chat daily and have established some nice light hearted conversations, it's treated as if it's a real cafe, there's even virtual baked goods and coffee!

Let's create a chat here for anyone to join, in particular the GLBTIQ community to let their collective hair down and chill out. It's a safe space to be yourself.

We just need a name 🙂

Currently in the woods, in a hood dancing around a fire, chanting...

thanks dan, i think so too - at least a good part, if not all of my dissociation is gender/body-related but i guess i did a bad job of explaining that. actually, i know i explained it badly but he asked me about it at the end of the third session and i really think he'd already made up his mind by that point. so yeah, i need to decide whether to stick with him and try to get him to re-think, or go to someone else. things sort of took a downward turn for a while so i haven't done anything yet, but new meds now seem to be helping, so maybe i can start thinking about it again.

thanks dan, all my posts are moderated. is that because i'm new-ish?

Hey Danny;

No doubt you're living it up in a tee-pee and freezing your beautiful butt off! It's -4 here atm so I hope you're North of the border. Ah...where ever that is?

Hoping you're with others chanting to the beat of your proverbial drum and dancing up a storm. It sounds as though you're in your element my sweet. So few words...yet saying so much. 🙂

Want to hear all about it when you return...'kay?

Hi Rayne;

It seems the psych dilemma is still going on hun; sorry. If things don't pan out, there's bound to be someone out there who resonates with you.

All posts are moderated which creates a time lapse but if key words/phrases are present it takes longer. Hope this helps...

I'm bursting to know how your public speaking event went! It's nearly a month since. I've been hanging by a thread you know; please put me out of my misery.

You must be relieved your med's plan is coming together too lovely.

Rayne...please tell me a nice bedtime story; something uplifting from your life? We all seem to have such weird lives. I've been in dissociative mode tonight...ah...what was I talking about? Ah ha ha! No really, gimme some gold!

Hey MsP;

Seeing you around the traps tonight; you're in posting mood yeah? Hope all's well and maybe you're working another job? Btw, with starting a business, I meant as a dietitian, not product development. You know, a gap like diabetes or even anxiety - keeping adrenaline stimulating foods down etc. It's just a thought...

Take care guys...

Sara 🙂 your posts always make me smile. Welcome back. I hope things are better for you now.

Bedtime story from me: I'm visiting a foreign city right now. Imagine one with a lot of history and a lot story around it and within it. I didn't want to come here because my head was full of potential calamities but it's been OK. I've found a really interesting place with history stretching back centuries more than Au, and also a country that's wresting with current world events far more than Au because it's in the midst of them. People are endlessly polite, and while I always wonder how deep that goes, I appreciate it. There's a real sense in which its people both know and and hold to its founding values, and they're its strength. I feel admiration for this place 🙂

Oh Rayne; is there a beach? Is there a beach? Please tell me there's a beach with white sand and views of castles and ancient ruins.

Are the people modern or traditional? Their values? They're accepting right? (You know what I mean)

I have a million questions! Love my bedtime story! Tell me more...more damn it!!!

lol

Love ya...

Hey Raynor, I say you find someone else use your time with the old as experience for the new one. All the trans people i know are absolutely certain that they were born the wrong sex. As I'm certain I'm a gay male happy with my gender I identify as male. It's so hard when mind and body don't match up. Back in the day when I was on the streets there was a little old doctor in the cross who had a thing for trans girls and would give all the girls all The hormones they wanted plus put silicone in there butts, hips, face. The amount of boobs i've seen blossom is hilarious the stories I could tell lol... Do you know any other trans men if not find them ask who they saw what they did ask questions. As i've said before don't be afraid to use your masculine energy Total you next Tuesday strength ok bud. Danny...

Hey Sara, I really enjoyed my weekend with my straight mates there survivors to we try to get together every few months. When's the last time you had a vacation I have a feeling you need one wish I could send you to Canada. I'd love to visit all the art galleries around the world I think I'd enjoy Europe I've only been to Italy and Thailand both were enjoyable. Hope you're well. Danny...

[Just Sara]

Oh my lovely Danny;

I'm so happy you have friends you can share time with that resonate with you. It means a lot to me reading you have this in your world. That might sound a bit sappy, but in all honesty, I 'know' you deserve it. I wish I had something precious like that too.

I understand what you mean about gallery's around the world. Monet's my fave artist; I missed an opportunity many years ago to see his work on display in Sydney, and more recently in Canberra. Argh!

As for a holiday? You're probably right. More than anything I'd like to have everything at my fingertips and someone to be at my beck and call 24/7. (My ultimate break 🙂 Being alone sucks!!

Take care my lovely;
