I have come across several media reports about cases in which men or transgender women have sought access to women's changing rooms or women's prisons. These reports have raised concerns for me that rules protecting women's spaces should be designed in a way that helps prevent potential misuse. At the same time, I want to make it clear that I distinguish between isolated cases of misuse and transgender people who pose no threat to anyone.

Protected women's spaces are very important to me. They were established to provide women with safety and a place of refuge. For women who have experienced violence or sexual assault, this sense of security can be deeply significant. From my personal perspective, situations in which these spaces are questioned or deliberately used in a provocative way can feel unsettling and distressing.

I hope this discussion can acknowledge the needs of everyone involved. To me, that includes both the dignity and rights of transgender people, as well as the boundaries, lived experiences, and sense of safety of biological women. I do not expect everyone to share my views, but I do hope that my feelings and perspective can also be treated with respect.

Join us for an unforgettable session!
Expect a rich musical journey with 80's and 90's tunes, tracks to get your heart racing.

Bring your friends, your dance shoes, and your love for great music. Let’s start the day with rhythm, connection, and pure virtual joy.

Hypergrid enabled – everyone is welcome!

New at the OSHBC Store and The Shops at Stonehaven!

We have just added several items to the stores. Now that the Littlefield Admins have time to work on our RLV scripting we are thrilled to offer the following new items!!

Steel and Rubber Cuffs (arm and leg)
Padded Cuffs (arm)
Leather Cuffs (arm)
Female Chastity Belt
Male Chastity Cage
Plug Panel Gag

And a few fetish clothing items...

The Female Belt and Clothing are for Athena based avatars only at this time (sorry everyone....).
The other items will work with any avatar.

All of the items have been scripted by us and for the first time in OpenSim - they RETAIN the locking and keyholder status on relog and teleport!
We have done some Hypergrid testing and their operation is quite random depending on what version of OpenSim the grid you are hypergridding to is running.
We've seen about an 80% success rate when HG travelling, although if scripts are not active where you Hypergrid to, you may not be able to manipulate the menu.

We have hundreds of other items in the works... Stay tuned...

DJ DEBBIE loves her music, Has lots of amazing Ska,Dance, Pop , and tunes that you request.
Lets join her for an 2 hours set at the Landing point at AMV , Where the Moonlight Shines brighter then the Stars.

Everybody is welcome ,

A REQUEST, not a plea for: Opensimulator to unfreeze XEngine development. I refuse Microsoft; My servers run Linux. I remember the M$ three E's: Embrace, Extend, Extinguish; used to crush rivals. I truly believe they are still playing 'the long game' and nobody can convince me otherwise. I have regions I've been building for years that YEngine's stricter, ternary-breaking syntax will damage. I understand the pitch: YEngine tracks LSL spec syntax more closely, which helps people port scripts over from Second Life. Fine reasoning for new content. Not much comfort for those of us with years of working state built on the assumptions the 'proven and tested' XEngine let us make, assumptions the 0.9.3.0 release now discards completely, since XEngine is dropped there entirely, along with Mono support in favor of .NET 8. My NEXT donation comes when I see some love for the MONO branch. I am not rich but I am not talking petty cash either. Presently, I'm documenting the journey of coding chaos in a world that's ever-adapting. It would be pleasing to report that backward compatibility matters to somebody in the development pipeline. The correct eyes will accept or reject: I personally benefit from this either way. Use that as you will. Peace & Love.

SOLVED: Do a search of the main drive with Windows explorer and delete
teleport_history.txt and
typed_locations.txt

Adapted from one of the solutions provided by @Hecklezz

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I posted this to see if anyone can tell me why I'm repeatedly getting this alert since I visited the region, even when I never requested that this grid be added to my grid manager. I was getting an alert from my anti-virus software about an attempt to contact this domain. Those alerts stopped after I added the domain to my block list. However, even after clearing the viewer cache, I get this alert from Firestorm every time I log in or visit another region.

What I've found out so far. "This is a classic case of a viewer (Firestorm) holding onto a "ghost" entry in its internal routing history or cache, even after you've blocked the domain at the network level (Norton). Norton stopping the connection is good security, but it doesn't tell Firestorm to forget the grid entirely. Firestorm is likely trying to "ping" or validate a destination it thinks you want to visit or has visited recently."

It's been suggested that the entry is likely now hard-coded in the operating system Firestorm config file. I'm looking into that, even when I have to wonder how in the heck that happened.

BTW, all I did at the region is use the TP board...
