Pease GC or Sagamore GC (North Hampton) will most likely be open in April. Breakfast Hill GC is another close option but they tend to open later. Tour has 4-5 simulators with a full restaurant/bar. I believe you can only book 5 days in advance there. Simulators tend to get booked up fairly fast around here.

I don't see much of the argument against letting people change the sex on their birth certificate without surgery. If they can already change it with SS, and on their Driver's License and everywhere else then why does it matter? Seems like an arbitrary requirement to have to begin with.

And for HB396, never assume that common sense or reason is guaranteed. IMO most people naturally assume "biological sex" is split into two categories or male/female with rare exception. But bills should always err on the side of specificity because someone enforcing such a bill can interpret it however they want then claim it wasn't defined clearly as a defense later.

You're asking a disingenuous question that transphobes came up with when they got tired of their one joke.

And you answered your own question right there; I don't know why anyone would do that unless they were such a presumptive creep like you!

Edit: I don't really give a shit "what makes a woman different" because what's going on with her isn't actually my business to begin with. But I'm saying that as a regular human from earth with a modicum of decency.

Ah, I hope Massachusetts gets a similar bill passed, I was born there and still need surgery if I want to get that one last document changed.

Sure, I got my name legally changed, changed my gender on my ID and with Social Security, and have been living openly as this gender for years, but no they can't possibly change the gender on my birth certificate, what if I'm just faking so I can sneak into the women's room?

You should see the view from in here.

It also used to be "definitive(ly) medical" to do cupping, bleeding, and other strange things at one point, so I think that phrase doesn't necessarily equate to objective reality. I probably won't change your mind, and that's okay, but maybe "definite medical" is a little fuzzy and there's room to maneuver.

For the first one, is it allowing you to change your gender marker on your birth certificate? I know from personal experience that you can already change the gender on your ID without even a doctor's note.

For the second one I have to disagree on the "it's obviously designed to protect women" part. No, it's very clear that the only reason that the bill exists is to harm trans people.

It all depends on the weather and if the courses are dry enough - it's too far out to tell.

There's a big indoor golf course in Portsmouth called TOUR if that'd be an option. It's not in the fun part of town but it's a short drive away.

I live in the White Mountains and I’ve found winter to be much more ….. palatable as I’ve forced myself to take up a number of winter activities. Skiing, cross country and downhill, hiking, snow shoeing. I actually look forward to winter now. The key is dressing right. I wear long underwear pretty much November through March. I hate being cold.

Maintaining a second home thousand of miles away is a nightmare unless you have enough money to pay a property manager. We had a vacation home for a few years and it was a constant headache. IMHO it just wasn’t worth it compared to taking a vacation or two in the winter. It’s just such a waste of resources to have a house that only gets used half the year. You could have a much nicer house in NH and go to Florida for a few weeks on vacation. Unless money is no object it’s hard to really rationalize.
