When I worked at Safeway, our managers would walk around and tell us every morning to ask our customers to do the surveys. One manager would even tell us, "It keeps our store in business."

When it comes to federal funding, it's important to give the government what they want. This information is the deciding factor on where to allocate each disbursement of government funds, every time a bill is passed.

I'm sure you remember Nanci Pelosi demanding, "The people of America need another Trillion dollars." Right?

I love her, she's got to be one of the sexiest woman imo. (If you strive to be a powerful woman when you grow up, Pelosi is your role model, trust me on that.)

Working with the Trans, Gender non-confirming, Intersex, Justice Project, and reading through senate bills that specifically apply to our community, paints a vivid picture of just how important it is to know who you are, and what you stand for. As the saying goes, "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." There might be haters trying to mislead you, creeps trying to take advantage, and drugs that may confuse at times, designed to make humans honest and subservient and end up making us unsure of who we are. I'm not saying you do drugs, I'm saying there are people smoking on almost every corner of every block in the city, and the shit they got nowadays is strong enough to affect your ability to function even if you don't notice that it got you high walking by. I'm not saying don't do drugs, or even be careful. I'm saying that no matter what the reason, I understand where your head's at when filling out one of those questionnaires.

Perhaps you know who you are. Perhaps you know what you like. Perhaps you don't care. The more you answer those questions when they ask, in a way that puts your preferences at the top, the more you will see funding for the communities that apply to those choices. IT'S A VOTE THAT ACTUALLY COUNTS. You should care. Funding will be allocated to programs who sign up for and use Federal Government money for and in support of the communities listed. (Which is all of them nowadays, btw.)

If you don't know what to put, you're not alone. It may feel like those questions really matter, like people want or need to know who you are; but, they're anonymous. All Federal questionnaires are anonymous whether they say it or not. Those questions do not matter. They will not help you get a date, or change you in any way. They will; however, support you and your crush if you belong to a minority community. I'll tell you a secret. STRAIGHT PEOPLE DON'T NEED THE SUPPORT!

So what to choose? If you don't know, or you're straight; but not a hater, then pick based on what makes you feel comfortable. I like Trans girls. Wanna see more Trans girls in porn? Obviously throw the TGI community some coin.

Trans embodies radical change, by definition, no matter which direction one chooses to or feels comfortable transitioning. Genderfluid is a variant of Trans. I ran a quick Google search for advice on how to answer the gender questions and got: "For Everyday, Social, or Non-Binary Contexts: Your gender identity is completely up to you. Many intersex individuals identify as men or women, while others identify as non-binary, agender, or gender-expansive. For social spaces, choose the gender identity that best reflects who you are and how you feel If that's the option." So that suggests that there is an official way to answer as well as an optional. The same article also recommends using the legal terms you were born with when asking; but, if you're not comfortable with that and haven't officially changed your gender marker yet, answer how you want. It's obviously a problem that Government forms are quite often lacking updated and accurate options. You can optionally put sex=male and gender=female on many forms, even though they expect you to put trans. It should be a requirement since the definitions of sex and gender are as different as physical and mental characteristics respectfully. While sex and gender being opposite is usually is an indicator of transgender, or intersex genealogy, the institution who may be asking these questions may not be up to date, making it hard to answer correctly.

If you really want to support your community, the best way is to head in to a community center and fill out one of their surveys, via an intake, (which is usually pretty quick and straightforward, doesn't require an appointment, and requires no obligation or committment to attendafterwards.) and while you're there, make some friends and meet cool people in the process.

When you go to a traditional drop-in center you meet all types of people. You may not be familiar with the easy to find centers where crack stems, meth pipes, and safe shooting supplies such as clean syringes are a central focus, and are necessary to keep people who need those types of supplies safe; and, also to keep the public safe. To support my local community, I personally spend a lot of time at the Black Cultural TGI Center, (https://tgijp.org)

TGIJP's drop-in center supports primarily the Black, Trans, Gender non-conforming, and Intersex community. Leaving preference out of the equation is important; because, who you like, is no one's business but yours. There's no reason the government should really need to know who you want to have sex with. I think only the person, or people you want to have sex with should know that.

If you want to know where to find LGBTQ+ Events, resources for shelter, or even if you're in a bind and don't know what to do, there's always someone to talk to who can provide that information.

Justice being a huge part of the mission, TGIJP largely caters to those who have experienced incarceration at some point and understands the difficulties of successful reintegration one can face trying to cope with a criminal record. IMO, everyone parties at some point in their life. It's socially acceptable in our society. Everyone makes mistakes, and people do crazy things when they're in love. It may not be obvious who has a criminal record, or even that it's difficult to find a job and place with one; but, it's commonplace nowadays, and we have plenty of statistics to prove it.

"Black residents have been approximately six times more likely to be arrested by the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) than white residents, despite making up a significantly smaller percentage of the city's overall population." (https://abc7news.com/post/police-arrests-bay-area-systematic-racism/6243588/)

Just to mention an obvious example..

All of the husbands would know, and either be okay with it; because they were doing it too (as in behind their wife’s back;) or, were perfectly okay with it because they were perverts themselves, or into threesomes, or both. Society in general would be more relaxed towards this sort of behavior, and it would therefore rub off on the children. None of that would matter because kids don’t have the capacity to really make sense of sex until after high school. It may be happening younger these days; but when I grew up it was senior year in all the movies I watched.

I bet I could tell what the sexual preferences of the husbands are based by on how they partner with their wife. For example, a husband who allows his wife to have over whomever, whenever I would say would not be as gay as the one who likes it when his wife brings over her guy friends, and is probably fine just watching when they do stuff. Granted these group things rarely happen in real life, I find it interesting to think that what people talk about leads to this thought process, keeping words like “gay”, “retarded” and “stupid” at the center of one’s foreward thought processes.

This centralized thinking about one or a few things seems to be similar to experiments performed on humans back in the fifties and sixeties. Which may not be too farfetched for certain areas; but most towns wouldn’t have the organizational capability as those in larger cities. Less government emoloyees, and less money for communications equipment would make it harder for smaller towns to communicate amongst each other quickly and securely. So the groups themselves would be confined to those living in a certain community. Those who live close to each other and have children for example, who go to the same schools as one another, shop at the same supermarkets, etcetera.

The sort of trust required to enter into a relationship of this caliber takes time to build, so the odds of allowing someone into one of these communities would be reduced; due to the fact that communal sex is common amongst the members of these groups, we should remember that acting carnally, habitually breeds base instinct in one’s thought process as the first option. It simply becomes more convenient for the brain to choose the route that happens the most frequently. When decisions are made quickly using these base instincts we see a trend towards violence as a solution. When community is involved in persecution of individuals who disturb this peace, solutions and made together and need more data in experience to even determine if these punishments help or hurt the individual.

For example, public shaming of a person will just make that person a shameful person. As one who hangs out with successful people usually becomes successful, it could be easy to destroy someone with insults and slurs that make this person focus on what a bad person they are. It is much more difficult to congratulate someone you hate that it is to shame them; but, imagine what it would do for them. The point obviously isn’t to cure; so anything that would make the person insecure would work.

The commonality of this actually happening would only make sense in communities that choose to rehabilitate their own members. It must be observed for the hypersexual and this anarchist type of community to have any correlation to each other; whether one begets the other is merely conjecture at this point at least to my knowledge of the subject. In fact, all of these thoughts are kind of new to me. I seem to be hearing a lot more on television now than when I was younger talking about sex as though it’s not something private and special. I was getting old when I turned 24; I doubt I have much to worry about at my age now.. 😂

From my personal observations, these hypersexualized societies only exist on the tv, or internet as fantasies to be sold to the lucky individual who happens to be surfing his phone like some dreadlock haired Hawaiian on the tides at Kahului bay in Maui. Most people tend to hide their sex lives and portray themselves as individuals who prefer sports and outdoor entertainment. It’s mostly for show or to fill in the time between work; but that’s a subject for a later date. Work culture.. I love it; but it’s ultimately more challenging to pursue art, especially if one wants to make a living from their creation(s).

Where’s mine to take care of me? I took care of mine..

What I don’t tolerate is that you have no ficking patience and want to get hit quick then fuck’n’gft it over with. Where’s the fun in that?

And btw, I still don’t know, so keeping your secret isn’t keeping a secret if I don’t know what the secret is.

You know it goes down in the dm, huh? What goes down in the dm, bot advertisements and solicitation. Is anyone real nowadays? Does anyone meet up? Or does everyone just charge for sexual encounters. Must be nice to have àpussy made of gold, since my dick obviously isn’t..

I will tell you that if you honestly think no one cares then keep your fucking mouth shut; because the ones talking are head over heels and just don’t get it. Please learn a thing or two and just change. Negativity doesn’t need to be a staple in everyone’s life when they’re hungover and can’t tolerate the morning sun.

Meanwhile I’ll be out here talking back; because, let’s face it, there ain’t no pussy that can handle me, they all run off, or worse.. listen to what their friends say.

If you got HIV, you didn’t get it from me. By The Way.. the only you possibly could have been through that I haven’t, is child birth. Mad props to the girls who walk around as a guy all day, that shit takes balls.

I’m done with your secrets, I’m done with your lies. I’ll get mine regardless. Just wish I didn’t have to feel so kicked down when I’m already broken inside.

Being the person I am means it takes someone as equally distant from the norm to penetrate my shell; but they don’t make them like that anymore, or if they do, ya’ll are taken. Crushing. Because I may not be gay; but I sure know how to love a man as well as I know how to love a woman, and I don’t like to watch anyone go through that kind of pain.

I was born with a female brain.. and a man’s body, attracted to women yet attractive to men. I hear more women saying I’m not cute or handsome or whatever then I do men; so it’s obvious that I’m attractive to men and not so much to women.

Women like dad bods and beards, didn’t you know?

It doesn’t matter, I get treated differently by every person I meet; so, I’ll treat you how you want to be treated, if I can tell, and always with respect, if I can help it.

I don’t really like labels though, I mean who cares what my name is if you can see my persona, right? What does being gay have to do with anything??

I feel like if a girl says “are you gay?” She’s trying to get you to come to her room. Anyone disagree with this?

I feel like if someone says “go home” it just means they don’t want you there.

I believe if someone calls you a “snitch” they should grab their flying broomsticks and catch you like the golden ball you are you shining jewel you. I personally won’t even run, I like being caught and held and even tickled sometimes.. weird.. massage is better.

If someone yells rape, they are obviously mocking someone; because, I doubt any girl who is actually getting raped would yell that word specifically, it’s actually harder to think of words and remember to scream when that happens. You try to get the person off of you àd hope they don’t injure or kill you in the process so the focus is usually on physical defense and it takes too much thought in those situations.. sorry to bring this one up I know it’s uncomfortable for a lot of us; but it needs to be talked about.

People are constantly talking from a location where I can’t see them standing. I’ve tried walking in the direction I hear speech from, to see if they would keep talking; but it never works. It’s always quieter the closer I get.. trying to pinpoint a sound’s location is damn near impossible with only one set of ears. I can barely tell which house has the fighting couple in it when I walk by; for example, and that’s only because they are screaming at each other. This type of experiment takes at least two people, (I think,) who can communicate and test; because, volume is important too. Not to mention that variables always change when a door is open or a window.

It’s crazy how well you can hear what’s going on in the kitchen for example; but they can’t hear you from the bedroom. Also when inside any given house, the directions that sound comes from within other rooms of the house tends to get arranged incorrectly all the time. Voices that seem to be coming from downstairs end up coming from the apartment next door, and stuff like that.

I haven’t honestly been able to figure much out about my house; because, I don’t have another person who finds this kind of thing fun and interesting, and by trying to experiment by myself, I’ve only lost my place to stay really.. well not really; I’m protected by law; but, that doesn’t mean shit in Oakland.

Never have I lived in a more dangerous place in my life. There is so much crime here, sometimes I’m afraid to leave the house. The statistics make this city one of the most dangerous places to live in the United States, and it’s reputation precedes those facts. Younger and younger children are running around with shotguns and machetes, robbing people and stealing gold bars and diamonds from the federal reserve. I just heard about a gang of seven year olds who held up a bank, and the Oakland Police Department covered it up. Can you believe that? Imagine if that kind of news would have made main stream media? It’s almost a good thing they covered it up. So far we have brought in more officers than Oakland taxpayers can afford, and seen a significant improvement.

There were only statistically 55 vehicles stolen last month, and tire sales have decreased by about two thirds. It’s hard to drive down a city block these days and not see a car on blocks, sadly..

Figuratively speaking, the people of Oakland are getting fucked. It’s hard to tell who, or what is the cause of this rampant crime and unjustified violence; but it definitely doesn’t help me personally, especially if I’m trying to get the girl down the street to show me her sewing machine.. one thing I just don’t understand; though, if snitching is such a crime here, then why are all of the citizens so noisey?

I hate to say all of the citizens; because, I meet quiet people quite often; but, these kids are uncontrollably out of line! Not to mention privacy doesn’t exist in California. I mean; why does it seem like someone not only has access to what’s on my phone; but at times it seems like they can read my mind as well. Is that what you get access to when you’ve lived in California for a whole year, or do you have to be born here for that?

Anyways, it’s like Biggie said, “it’s all a dream.” I made most of that shit up about the kids and stuff anyway; because honestly, from my observation Oakland is a pretty safe place to live. Just don’t try and speak French while you’re here, you might get shot.

And the meth will make you a deranged psychopath pedophile rapist, who wants to eat kittens and lacerate dogs with your teeth; that is, if the fentanyl doesn’t kill you first.
