Man, no matter how many times I try to think of a way to phrase this, it comes across sounding so lame and pathetic.

( Blah blah blah this probably doesn't make any sense )

Less pissed.

So like the rest of you, I was extremely disappointed in Susan Stanton's recent comments in the SPTimes.

So upset I wrote her a fairly nasty email indicating that pointing fingers at others just ends in others pointed at her. I got this response and it eased my bitterness some.

Ms. Green

You seem really upset and I don't blame you. Your assessment is right on target.

Like many people in the transgender community, I was shocked and disappointed when I read the recent article in the St. Petersburg Times entitled “Susan Stanton’s Lonely Transformation”. The St. Petersburg Times is an excellent newspaper and I consider Ms. Lane DeGregory to be a gifted writer and a personal friend so I am not sure how my words could have been so terribly misunderstood. Since the publication of this story, I have received hundreds of email messages from people all over the nation expressing their disappointment and anger for the hurtful and insensitive statements that have been attributed to me. Simply stated, this article is not an accurate representation of my beliefs concerning the transgender community or my experiences as a transgender person. Unfortunately, anyone reading this article would think I am a conceited, arrogant, depressed, suicidal victim in need of immediate medical intervention. I regret that the Times conveyed this very unflattering portrait and the damage it has done to my personal and professional reputation.

I am truly sorry you believe everything in the paper you read. I wish I could be so absolute in my trust.

Be Well, Do Good and Keep in Touch ............

Except for that little snarky bit at the end, I consider this somewhat of an apology. Now lets see if she actually fights the times for a retraction.

***EDIT***
On re-reading, she apologized for my feelings, wtf...now I want to cut the bitch!

I want to get an orchiectomy within the next few months, but I'm really not sure to start. I'm having trouble finding "how-to" resources on the steps I'll need to take as a trans woman; just a lot of things telling me how I would do it if I have testicular cancer and therefore doctors who won't be so reluctant to do it so that I'll need to do a lot of running around to a lot of different people asking for permission slips or things debating whether or not orchiectomies are a good choice for trans women but not actually saying how to go about getting one.

Halp me Dr. LJ!

Also, I'm in the Albany, NY area, so any information about resources within like a 100-mile radius of here would be greatly appreciated.
