| Ah well... Pangarune Corner 20:53:45 |
| | Knowing how disappointed you all shall be, especially Usher, I must advise
that I will be away for a time starting Monday. We are again heading south
for a week, perhaps a tad more.
Don't worry. Be happy.

| Is there any objectivity to who is or isn't regarded as being female Dysfunctional 02:39:15 |

case for stating who does or does not act in a feminine manner here or
anywhere else for that matter?
What makes you female or feminine compared to those who you see as
not being so here?

| For f***s sake stop bickering Dysfunctional 20:51:49 |
| | Right or wrong you all seem to know what you want and who you are and
are strong enough emotionally and mentally to deal with it. You are lucky.
Some of us haven't got a clue who we really are as individuals
irrespective of gender let alone coping with being male or female.
Some of us are so dysfunctional a permanent hermaphroditic state is
the best option with a label attached saying 'too screwed up to be
either male or female'.

| Boomtown Pangarune Corner 23:58:43 |
| | While not on topic, a bit of news...
Global warming caused us here in the North to loose our last winter. Now we
have a "heat warning" for the next four days. It has been unseasonally hot,
ranging up to 36 C. Record high temperatures for this area, and the forests
are dry as dust.
At our home, we have fans going all day long, drapes closed during the late
morning and afternoon. The Canadian highest temperature was 44.8 C - a
small town in Saskatchewan years ago. We expect Lynton or Lilloet, in the
Frazer Valley, to break that record in the next few days. They came very
close today at 44.4.
I am not sure how far south the heat wave goes - certainly to Vancouver and
Seattle. Seattle stations are also putting out a heat warning.
Ah well - as one of Canada's ten new boom towns - according to all the
recent news - we can swelter and watch our home go up in value. Two for
sure, possibly three pipelines running just to the North, all sorts of rail
and highway improvements due to the opening of Prince Rupert as a container
port, and several new mines. There is no motel space at all - none. I am
told that sharing a room is the only way some can get a place to stay. Some
friends who rent have been looking, and due to one news report, it seems
that all rents went up by over $100 in a week or so.

http://www.rupertport.com/pdf/media/VanSun_Jan1505.pdf
That says nothing about oil and gas, along with some mad fools who are
putting in pipes to test for diamonds. Canada now has a large percentage of
the world's diamond mining thanks to the Northwest Territories, but it seems
the local area is just right.
Should be a fun few years, if we can take the heat...

| RIP John Thomas Usher - The Shame of San Francisco Borked Pseudo Mailed 03:10:29 |
| | Today's Chronicle reported the death of John
Thomas Usher, alais "Jennifer Usher". Usher
is a reputed newsgroup bigot and has harassed
and caused emotional harm on various people
over the years on the newsgroup alt.support.srs.
A crossdresser, Usher reputedly changed his
views when he himself became a victim of emotional
abuse, and decided to pursue surgery in order to
escape the taunts and harassment of various other
TS purists, after he had claimed not only to be
"more woman" than the other TS women, but also
claimed he was "more woman" than even his
estranged ex-wife.
Usher's body was found amidst the refuse of an
abandoned apartment where he 'squated' with other
transients. The body was found with a copy of
Ann Couture's last pulp expose, and it appears
Usher was trying to use the book to sheild himself
from the shot that killed him. Unfortunately
that book had no substance so this was
not effective.
Other debris located by CSI detectives include
several used pregnancy tests, and
beer cans, which Usher apparently had been using
as some sort of makeshift toilet.
RIP, John Thomas 'Jennifer' Usher.

Why would you think that? You arrogant jackass of a man. It has EVERYTHING
to do with you. For years, you have cut down people using incorrect gender pronouns
and insulting masculine demaeanor. This group will never be a support
space as long disruptive, insulting, personalities such as you, "Jennifer"
continue to swing your weaner around this place. You and your bravado,
your displaced male aggression. You make me want to vomit.

Your own words dispute what you try to say with them.
Bonehead!
I would just add that whatever kind of twit Willow is, and
she is a major twit - you are far worse!

| | Enough bickering...
let's see if we can give Eris a break and try discussing some real
support issues.
Perhaps this thread can be some impetus for topic discussion. The whole
idea is to be as unstructured and free-flowing as possible. Happy
accidents are also welcomed.
Just off the top of my head, here are a few suggestions:
The pros and cons of stealth.
Effective or practical stealth vs. total.
Assimulation vs. gender blending
The ethics of disclosure
Who has the right to know and who does not
Our rights vs. the rights of others
Aging and how TS needs differ
Economics and financial planning
Body image
Family relations
Coming out
Social deficits
Barriers to transition
Barriers to acceptance
Spirituality
Journaling
Networking
Researching doctors
Undesirable outcomes and complications
Legal problems
Discrimination
Shopping advice
Non-op and hybrid constructs
GRS techniques and first-person accounts
Making friends with same gender after transition
Fitting in vs. being yourself
Health and fitness special needs
Iatrogenic diseases unique to TSes
Taxonomy and nomenclature
Approaches to therapy
Self-improvement
Dating and relationships
Dealing with rejection
Career
Rehabilitation
Cosmetic surgery and FFS
Body modification and adornment
TSity and culture
History and trivia
Or my shot in the dark could open us up to the whole issue of scope and
context. ie, should we restrict content to SRS only or should we
broaden only to not cross over too much in the identity politics and
socio stuff?
I am NOT trying to mod, but I am trying to make a point. We have
covered a lot of stuff in the past, but it is mostly house-keeping
issues. I have found that if you concentrate too much on keeping a
perfect house, that it is hard to have fun! So perhaps we should try to
enjoy ourselve's while making some effort to break out of a rut.
IGNORE the hecklers!!!
Let's try to open up some discussion here, or better still make
suggestions directly by starting a new topic.
I would like to see each of us start a separate topic to see if we can
coax the lurkers into making this a more organic process.

| | I might remind all that this is a public list, the contents of which are
available to anyone anywhere, to use as they see fit.
Andrea James and Usher tend to mine this list for quotes which later appear
either in Usher's attacks or on Andrea's web pages. If either find your
name and take a disliking to you, you can expect the same as many others at
their hands. Usher will indeed dislike you if you do not agree fully with
her.
Want to tell your true story as it is or was? This is *not the place*.
Find a private group or start one with your friends. I still belong to some
that started many years ago.
NO NOT GET SUCKED INTO THIS HELL HOLE!!!
Check the archives, searching "Jennifer Usher". Go back to 1998 and she
does the same - attacking anyone, outing some, generally being just nasty.

| For the record... Jennifer Usher 20:03:50 |
| | Well, well, well... I am certainly a hot topic in this group since I
decided to leave. My orginal intention was to simply walk away, but
since some people seem confused, I will set the record straight.
A certain kook here, who shall remain nameless, decided to stalk me in
the real world. Said kook went to considerable lengths in an attempt
to cause me to be fired from my job. Yes, sad but true. That effort
has, quite simply, failed. My supervisor expressed some dismay over my
style of posting and asked me to no longer post while I am at work (for
anyone checking the time of this message, they should note that today
is a holiday in California, Cesar Chavez Day, and I am not at work.)
She also has stated that she has neither the ability, or the desire, to
control the opinions I express when I am not on the clock. No, I have
chosen, of my own volition, to simply climb out of this sewer and no
longer respond to those here who are obsessed with hatred.
You know, I just got through looking at an article in Tapestry, which I
still consider to be pretty much a waste of trees even though the
current issue does have two excellent articles. In the article in
question, I am actually referred to indirectly. Oh my, such fame.
Unfortunately, the author makes a good point that was also made by my
supervisor...and I found myself facing a simple question. Why am I
allowing myself to be pulled down to certain people's level? And it
occured to me that there was no good answer. Then, in responding to my
supervisor in email, I mentioned the definition of "kook" from Andrea
Jame's excellent web site. The last two paragraphs read:
"Some people find kooks entertaining and take amusement from heckling
them, or from prodding and provoking them to ever more kooky online
behavior. Some people consider this to be cruel.
At least some kooks are mentally ill or suffer from one or more
personality disorders, so this should be done with caution."
Well, I realized my reason for remaining here was the first paragraph.
And yes, such behavior is cruel. And, as the second paragraph warns,
such requires caution. Some people have serious personality disorders,
and they can be dangerous. Or, perhaps more appropriately, a nuisance.
No, my job was never in danger. But it was a nuisance, and it took up
way too much of my supervior's valuable time.
Okay, just to clear up a few lies that some have suggested. No, the
fact that my employer will cover my SRS is not the only reason I work
there. In fact, I worked there for about five months as a volunteer
(full time I might add), because I believe in what we are doing. We
serve a very marginalized population. It is the kind of work I was in
college training to do, and given the chance to do it without having to
spend another year or more as a starving student, I took it. So yes, I
am somewhat altruistic.
Another point I would like to make clear. The opinions I have
expressed here are mine, and I do not speak for my employer, or any
organization. Further, many of the opinions I have expressed here have
been limited to two persons who, in spite of their apparent delusion,
do not represent the whole of the transgender community. I work with a
very diverse population. I work with people at all levels of
transition, from comtemplating, to post-op. No one I have ever worked
with has had his or her gender questioned by me, and they never will.
If, by some chance, anyone here, or someone with the attitudes of some
here were to seek services with my agency, they would be treated with
the same respect as others. However, if they engaged in the behavior
they have shown here, they would almost certainly be asked to leave,
and barred from returning. We don't allow people to cause disruptions
that would prevent others from being comfortable. People are free to
express opinions, but are expected to do so politely.
Well, having said all of that, I now leave you in peace. The recent
acts of one here serve to prove the opinions I have expressed. On the
other hand, this group can do just fine without me. And I can do just
fine without it. You can reach me at the email I have pro
