I have a serious buyer lined up for my car (2014 Prius), but she just moved to the state and can't get cash because her bank doesn't operate here. I can't figure out what a safe option is for a digital money transfer. I live in Maine, USA.

What do you recommend?

The amount is $4000. I don't trust a Venmo transaction (What she offered). The payment could be reversed or held by Venmo.

Edit: Thanks for the ideas/options. We will either do a Wise money transfer or money order.

I'm a 39 year old trans man who is interested in the program, but I haven't yet gotten involved. The impression I got from my local chapter was that they match male littles with big brothers and female littles with big sisters (though this may not always be true, they do seem to give that impression -for example, by saying that they have a lot of boy littles who need a match, so therefore they need more big brothers to enroll.)

However, since then I have heard online about, for example, big sisters having little brothers - so I'm confused.

Personally I would be fine with either gender little - I'm much more concerned with us having a good match for interests and activity level. I'm not sporty at all, and I am physically disabled, so I wouldn't want them to match me to an active sporty kid just because he's a boy!

I also am not sure how things go with being a trans big in general. Including with meeting the family - I would love to hear from other trans bigs!

Thanks!

I have a newer car and I use two metal ramps to load/unload from the hatchback. The ramps need to sit on a painted part of the bumper.

I've noticed some paint on my bumper is already chipping and scratching. 😳 How can I protect the paint?

The ramps already have little rubberized strips on them but it doesn't cover everywhere,so there's bare metal at the edges.

Any ideas? How do you protect your car from ramps?
