Europe shifts reliance on big tech away from non-European and proprietary companies. (This is not directly transgender related, though indirectly there is some relevance. But many members of the BCTS community are tech savvy, and there have been many related discussions here before.)

Who does not yearn for a healthy and thriving relationship?

If you want to embark on a successful journey, you have to prepare appropriately. These six questions should help assess if you are prepared to embark on the stage of the gender transition that moves into the realm of non-reversible changes.

Yes, I nearly chocked multiple time on a streusel cake today while watching Gidget S01E11 | My Ever Faithful Friend. I was repeatedly laughing so hard from that whole comedy of misunderstandings that I had to pause the video in order to recover.

So, go ahead, and enjoy some [more or less] wholesome entertainment from yesteryear instead of all the doom and gloom spewed by corporate and social media today.

If you are in need of some LOL and ROFL in these dire times, then I have a recommendation out of the archive of time straight from 1967 for you!

I just finished my personal struggle through The Flying Nun | Pilot | S1EP1 FULL EPISODE. My personal struggle is a) a very short attention span for movies and b) a whole lot of laughter attacks.

Here is a very interesting comparison between Europe and USA regarding employee protection, and whether big corporations are engaging in modern day slavery and/or worker exploitation. I have previously seen some individual reporting regarding these corporations, and how they are running afoul of European legislation.

If you feel unsafe or threatened by the current political climate, or if you wish to avoid controversial or disturbing subjects for your own personal mental health, then please do NOT read this post.

There have been repeated reports in the past of Amazon Kindle stealing money from consumers. As well as Kindle being a proprietary and closed standard for content delivery. The underlying issue is not only restricted to Amazon Kindle, but any and all cloud-based streaming content providers.

Who controls the content that is saved on the cloud? Is it the owner of the content? Or is it the owner of the infrastructure?

If you are willing to see how Europeans view the current political developments in the United States of America, you might want to the following broadcast posts on YouTube. Be warned that these could be triggering to you, and therefor a risk to your personal mental health. So viewer discretion is advised.

The German Green Party has proposed the creation of “women only” train cars for the underground network in the capital city of Berlin, due to the huge increase of sexual assaults and rapes in the last ten years. This proposal has caused a huge backlash from most other sectors of the German society.

Through the recommendations by the YouTube algorithm I “stumbled” upon another self-help resource that can help me with my mental health challenges. And I want to share that resource with the rest of our community here, since so many have expressed their personal struggle with mental health challenges.

I have been struggling for a long time on how to formulate this post on a deeply personal issue. While sharing this personal struggle that is affecting my own mental health, it is also a request (maybe even a cry) for help to members of this community located towards the north-west of Germany.

Many of us who struggle with gender identity also struggle with many other emotional issues and even neurodivergence. There is PTSD, ADHD, OCD, autism spectrum, depression and anxiety, to name some of the heavies. That list is most definitely not exhaustive, but it contains the issues that are most prevalent and/or that cause the most collateral issues for us.
