Apology

[ftm-lawyer.livejournal.com]

Back from bad food.

Looking back on my earlier rant, I can sort of see where some people who don't know me might get the impression that I am little more than a perpetually angry college kid with nothing better to do than rant and incite knee-jerk reactions in people who would otherwise support me.

I honestly don't think it's that simple, but I can really see how the assumption can be made. Sorry for any misunderstandings on my part, I'm a bit of a hothead; it's always been in my nature, on this issue and on pretty much anything else. The substance of what I wrote still stands, but my procedure was not the best, that's for sure (such is the nature of a rant, I suppose). In posting a rant like the one I did, I never entertained the idea of seeking allies, or of alienating them either.

I havea tendency to use ad homs too, when I get really upset. If I did (I'm too lazy to look), I'm sorry. I didn't mean to really alienate anyone, and I'm sorry if I had that effect. I do believe that my points were, and are, valid, although I probably didn't choose the best means of trying to assert them.

Thank you all for sharing your experiences. Everyone is different. But we more or less feel the discomfort in getting along with people freely, the reasons for each individual may be different. In my case, I have been like that until the time I knew who I am, i.e trans identified. And it was because I didn't knew the reason for my unusual feelings and was thinking myself to be strange plus being uncomfortable from inside. But when I knew that there are a lot of people like me in the world everywhere, I got reassurance that I'm not the only one. And I'm not weird for having these feelings of opposite sex. And since then I have gained confidence about myself, and have become much more open and comfortable in dealing with people. I asked about this thing to my friend and he said that you should get other people's experience in LJ. And the response have been great. Thanks again !

New Community and Support Website

[nobmouse.livejournal.com]

Hello.

I'm hoping this isn't out of line for here (I checked the bio and didn't see a 'no advertising trans sites' message) but if it is, I'll apologise now. Basically, I'm here to tell everyone that there's a new community resource and support forum available online, called T-Vox (which some of you may have heard about already, since I recognise some people in here from my flist but hey, you get the news twice and at no extra cost!).

The site is designed to be a safe haven for discussion of issues about or in reference to transsexuals, intersexed people, genderqueer/gender variant people, people questioning their gender identity and their friends & family. There's a possibility of students and/or professionals from the fields of gender identity disorder and trans/queer/gender theory turning up, but it's not likely.

The site's at www.t-vox.org and it's just starting up so while there's not much but a forum there at the moment, we're hoping to expand fast.

Thanks for listening.
