I've read through about a third of the responses to my thread and all I can immediately say is What - the - hell?
Is this community not about sharing our experiences with being t-folk? Should we not be honest with our feelings and experiences? I chose to refer to our ilk as freakish to the social norms, and refer to TGI disorder as a disability. I feel like if a person is feeling these things, and they are directly connected to their gender identity, then how do such comments not belong in a community like this? I didn't join this place to be isolated, I joined to discuss. I am not an outsider when I say these things looking for a fight, I am a person who is living the way a t-person lives every day of my life exploring my emotions.
I'm really disappointed in what I've read here today. I felt like there would be more empathy present in the community. It seems I was wrong. Those of you who did comment in the before mentioned thread without the beligerance and sepratism, I appreciate it -- you're the folk I joined for. For everone else, let's pretend T-life is wonderful and problem free, and ask ourselves why we bother to participate in these kinds of communities.
