Time travel sounds like a really cool concept, but as a woman and butch the thought of being born in an earlier time really makes me sweat. I have always been very happy to have been born when I was instead of earlier. As to my life, I wouldn't want to end up anywhere other than where I am now- living with the love of my life and wouldn't want anything to change that course of events. (f) So if I can still end up where I am now then I will time travel to various times to check them out. Otherwise no, lol.

I'd go back to the day I said goodbye to my Mom and Dad before going to the States for the memorial for Blue's father.

I used to always kiss both of them goodbye and tell them I loved them when we left the house, but for the life of me, I just can't remember saying those words to my father that particular day. Ten or so days later and he was dead - something I only found out upon returning to the UK a couple of days later - and not knowing for sure that I told him I loved him the last time I saw him is haunting me.

On a lighter note...I'd love to go back to Victorian times and wear pantaloons with buttons that undid at the back. That is, as long as Blue could travel back with me and undo them;)

Words

I would go back to February 21st 2000, and I would take my Dad up on the trip to the Indian Casino because he was off work that day for our Presidents day holiday.

If I had played hooky that day and gone with him, when he died that day in the middle of the Casino, he would have not been surrounded by strangers.

It's my only regret in life.

Fun thread!
 

I would love to go back to the Renaissance period...be a "real wench" for a bit...hehe, then for sure stop in the 1920's to try out the flapper thing!

Then back to the 80's to do some real headbanging at rock concerts again! Of course I would have to grow my hair out....hmmmmm...nope.....lmao.... Fun stuff! :D

remember how it felt to run wide open at the age of say 10. barefoot, green grass and nowhere to be but right there, ... running. the energy! i want to feel that energy again. i want to run to creedence clearwater revival lol, ... run through the jungle! feel the energy of a child, again. that would be a most outstanding time travel for a day.

you all have great time travel. thank you for sharing. to be able to go back and say things i wish i'd said to family and others. or to change events. or to get to know my mother and father as a child. all of these are wonderful. love all of your answers. very touching. just like i had hoped. this is one of the things i like about this group. sharing emotions, ... in all sorts of ways.

I would simply go to the 50s. Because of my beliefs about women/femmes, I think I'd fit in best there. Most feminist women of this era hate me. Think June Cleaver.

I believe we should be in the kitchen cooking, barefoot and pregnant, cleaning the house, doing the laundry, etc... While our butch/FtM counterparts are out working, fixing the car, and doing the yard work.

Hate me now. I'm okay with it.

(buys FemmeBibliophile a one way ticket to the 50's and points to the time machine) if that's your time travel wish.

She may need to get pregnant in the present time first (unless going the heterosexual route) and any FTMS needing surgery probably need to get that now as well before being "beamed back." I could think of a few other things as well. :|

I would go back to 1966,I was all of 17 going on 30,lord I thought I knew it all.I didnt think things thrue about my first marriage,I had doubts and would have not done it excep for mom siad I wasnt going to walk out on this cause this was keeping the family respectable( cause of me being queer).I should have hauled azz and never looked back.

I have no great era that I want to go to....

a short hop back about three years knowing now about my job that I didn't then and making different decisions.

But the dresses of the 18th Century England were the bomb....

that's mighty funny lol.

i want to go too. but just for the beer and chicken and laughing.

you know i like it here, 2012, ... to go for a day is all i wish for.

I want to go back to when I was born. I want to know what happened to me and why such drastic steps were needed to save me.

I want to return to being 15-19 and tell myself to not be an idiot.

Then, I'd like to go back 4 years ago. I'd like to tell myself that things will work out in the end. And I'd be better for it.

I admit I know next to nothing about my ancestors except there is a link to Sam Houston. I'd like to find out

where would I go??
 

back about thirteen years ago....to stop the big hurt in my life right now.:seeingstars:

we should keep journals. just write thoughts down, ... major happenings in our lives and simple times. i'm guilty. i don't do it enough. but our family especially, may want to know things in the future.

father's day 2010 - i'd have shown up even if i had to walk every damn mile

25 october 1996 - i'd say "dont do it because i'll hate you every day afterward if you do. and i dont want that. because i love you so much."

summer 2010 - i'd have said, "that's it. i'm done."

1 january 2011 - i'd say a whole lot of different stuff than i said after "i'm so glad you're here." and i'd have said it differently for months.

spring 2012 - i'd have stepped outside my comfort zone and pushed that kiss in the kitchen farther; i'd have spoken louder when i made that invitation on the back stairs.

june 2012 - i'd never have left home

july 2012 - i'd have knocked

august 2012 - i'd have understood the irony of driving east rather than west

I would like to go back in time and use it as a tool...
To Assassinate...serial killers and dictators like...hitler, mussolini, stalin and
napoleon ...Kill all of the assassins that assassinated the leadersthat had positive influence on the world...before their lives were taken from the world....like medger evers and MLK and Lincoln and kennedy and the other kennedy....dreaming. At least we have their words in books and their deeds and their history.

One thing I really want to go back in time for is to find out the facts of my bio parents spliting up and what I was abandoned by them.There was a lot of going in and out of court by my grand parents and an aunt that raised me.I need to know if my twin passed when we were born or is she still alive but I have never been able to find out the facts.The only thing that would be diffrent is about my sister,the rest is what it is.I say that but finaly im in therapy for all the lies and trouble it caused...yes it marked me.

Myrlie Evers is still alive. Medgers wife. i remember a speech she gave after the trial of Byron De La Beckwith, ... finding him guilty of murdering Medger Evers. this was in 94, maybe. heartfelt speech. i would like to just be around her. no time machine needed.
