She's much different in person vs online.
That's not surprising, he is very much "The internet tough guy", has he ever elaborated or discussed his altercations with other people with yourself? If so how did he paint himself and others?
Not true. We were in philly when that happened, which, as far as I know, has no gender care in its state insurance.
Thank you for the correction, as I said before I'm from the UK other than the US doesn't have a NHS and a few odd things here an there I am quite oblivious to the US health care an benefits systems. Can I ask seeing as you are more informed than myself how much would care like that cost per month? I know the costs of reassignment surgery can be crippling and parts of asia are a tempting alternative when choosing GRS in the USA. But he seems to have a fair bit of disposable income and he hasn't kept up with hormone therapy from the costs given here and my own research the cost of the T blockers and E are a pittance a month compared to what he has spent on ink in a single session, would you care to speculate on this? (if you want to do this non publicly please feel free to PM me).
I agree with you there. She's very much the doting mother.
I have known a large number of kid's who's parents have divorced (
as a child in school and as a adult with friends that have kids) and the mother has played into the "protective" side of things, to get the children on her side. While I think that's kind of normal some mothers take it to absurdity and it becomes toxic, in my mind his mum fall's into that group, even if she is doing so subconsciously.
Chain reaction is just a thing in Portland, idk of any resource like that in SF. I don't think she's ever accessed their services but I could be wrong.
Ah cool, it's a regional thing, I heard something on the Tested podcast a while ago so there is something like that in SF and it's the spiritual home of the Critical Mass so if he visits again you might want to nudge him in that direction.
As for questions:
6) You say you know he was blackballed from one shelter, did he ever elaborate as to why? We know an have had ti conformed by other sources that he was trying to scam his way into a group he wasn't allowed to join, did he ever ask you not to seek such services yourself? As I said before I don't know much about the benefit system in the US but I know there are provisions for couples. I only ask as we know Phil trys to be manipulative and part of manipulation is control and I'm worried that he made you feel worse by saying "Don't go to X,Y,Z, or they will do A,B,C that will harm me / you / us". I'm only asking out of care for your's an others well being and to add understanding of your relationship with him.
7) Harking back to the question about transition, He seems to not take on any feminine aspect he hasn't kept up with the hormones, he hasn't adopted feminine clothing (utilakilt an bondadge stuff not withstanding), or taken steps to feminise his voice. Why do you think this is? I'm not being funny but Chris sounds more feminine than Him.
This is a bit hard to ask given your OP, but how did your decision to not discuss his race come about? Many of us have access to genealogy accounts and looking up his genetic history is rather easy, We know he's not Hispanic because of this, are you just trying to be nice an giving him the benefit of the doubt or just ignoring it? (If you want to answer this via PM please do). I'm only asking as it add's to our understanding of the relationship you guy's had and to who he is as a whole.
9) I have a question resulting out of a Care for Phil, you said he's antagonistic towards authority or at least has a mistrust of truths he doesn't want to hear. If he had a infection, general ailment or was genuinely attacked would he seek help? As much as we had fun with the whole drive by thing if he was attacked most of us would feel bad for him (
presuming it wasn't his own fault) or if he witnessed a crime would he at least call for assistance?
10) His weapons, now I know he had a handgun at one point an hasn't got it any more, but he has talked about the bike lock, knife and at least once Pepper spray or some other form of non lethal spray weapon and knowing how often the homeless have to interact with law enforcement, does he really carry them? I ask as in the UK you have to have a "reasonable cause" for carying a as much as a pen knife with a blade over 2in long. From my understanding SF is worse than the UK in some respects, so his knife is 3in long lockable and serrated knowing CKRT advertised as a "combat knife" i.e. mono blade designed for cutting an stabbing (
CKRT have a rep in the uk as Shit at everything known by the TA as Crap, Krud, Really Turd) if it was something like a leatherman or SAK I could understand putting my mind into that of a police officer having a reasonable excuse for a homeless person to own as it has tin openers, etc but as a mono blade it's just a weapon.
Again this is out of safety concerns for him an OTHERS, I know you said he is rather meek in person but plenty of meekling's cary a blade and unfortunately get lucky when panicked,I don't want some one to get hurt by phil or phil to get hurt by pulling a blade in panic as it wont end well on either side.
to me.
