Hi All, guess this may be the right place?

Hi All, guess this may be the right place? and not the mailing list? Anyway, I know some people don't recognize the name, but anyone from KIDS between April of 93 to September/October of 1994 may remember Pat Lynch, now Trish Lynch, who is me. I was diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder, several years after KIDS.

In KIDS, it was a "drug problem", of which I definitely don't have, and a "sexual compulsion", if you stretch it, I guess the idea that you aren;t a man, but a woman due to hormonal disruptions when you were younger/in the womb, is quite a compulsion.


Having a difficult time lately with all of this, even though its been 7 years, I'm one tough-assed bitch who decided to ignore it all until I was in a better spot. SO I've survived physically, and I'm doing well financially and professionally, but now I'm finding that I'm having worse flashbacks and remembering alot I just didn;t remember, I'm now pretty agoraphobic, I can;t ride in the back seats of cars,  I feel like I see people from KIDS all over town (I live in Queertown, MA, Northampton, where the lesbians abound). I have trouble sleeping at night because of nightmares, so I'm about as sleep deprived as I was when I was there.


I've been searching on and off on the internet for years, since I'm internet woman, and ubergeek, and work for the worlds largest geek web site.  (Slashdot) for others, and it seemed all mention had dropped off the face of the earth until recently. Last night, while in a real funk, and trying to find something for my Therapist to work with, I found an archive of info kept by someone (Ginger maybe?)  which both made my night, and made it really rough for me and my SO (she's wonderful though)


Anyway, thats enough, I can;t say I'm ecstatic to be rehashing all of this, but knowing there are others of us out there may help me with finally healing and putting them behind me.

Re: Hi All, guess this may be the right place? This is the place!  Welcome, I'm glad you found us.  You should also take a look at The Straights  For more information...  


Take it easy Kathy

Welcome You might also check into that Kids of ElPaso link from the list of discussions. I understand a lot of people transfered from there to NJ at some point. You might find old friends. If there's a worse idea going than locking kids up for victimless crimes, it's probably locking them in close proximity to some tyrannical altruist bent on helping them even if it kills them.

thanks so I checked out that link....ummm wow. brought up alot of stuff, but its good, I didn't imagine all of it. Anyway, working at resolving all of this in my mind. I'm definitely going to try and be there in July, I think it would be good for me. Though, I have this crusader quality to me that won't quit, I'm very very tired of fighting the phantoms in my own head.

Welcome Hey,


Welcome.  I am Scott who was in Straight Inc in 83.  I still do not sleep very well either and your mentioning the thing about the back seats of cars is soemthing I have a problem with too.  I was not even aware of it until you mentioned it.  More proof of how fucked up both Kids and Straight were.


I remember a lot of kids including myself who were ridiculed about our sexuallity issues.  It was tough enough being hetero-sexual and listening to their bullshit.  I can't imagine how horrible it must of been for you and other LGBTs.  Thanks for chiming in
