Some have made it clear that the two public transsexual sections on this forum should be reserved for true transsexuals, and apparently there are more than a few who do not believe people like me who have mixed symptoms/trans characteristics belong there. For those who don't belong there, the MtF Crossdressers section is generally recommended -- hence my post here. But it isn't really the place for people like me to go either.
Of course some have suggested I am wasting my time and everybody else's, in posting at all. For example, one longtime member said, and I quote:
"I have to say that I am absolutely flabbergasted by your attempt to circumvent the usual standards of of care and to ignore the VAST amount of information and experience available to transgender women. ...What were you thinking? Were you thinking at all?...Clearly you are not happy with your transition. .... You rejected all advice offered here on this forum. If you continue to repulse all who offer, you are doomed to failure and continued unhappiness." (Actually, I meticulously followed the Standards of Care, but apparently the revised standards were not considered rigorous enough, and I admit they seem quite liberal, at least on a quick read.)
Should we who are in distress but square pegs, posting in the round hole of the TS section, simply wait until a section with more latitude is created for us? Should we hold back on posting until then? What do others think?
