Attacking and Challenging Members - Fair Game or Not?

[Kaitlyn Michele]

Considering that there have been 95 posts in three days in a thread that began simply by quoting my assertions there seems to be considerable substance to what I wrote.

The ironic thing is that I did not start this thread. If Anne had not decided that my post from another thread was worth quoting the discussion would not have continued.

This is incoherent. your assertion is that people posting about how difficult transition is belittles others... that is ridiculous

the fact that an avalanche of posts came does not in any way validate your false assertion

the issue IS that people here make YOU feel belittled.. this is an issue ABOUT YOU... and you come up with some little quote that belittles people that dare to stand up your comments...

that doesnt mean i am small minded as you passive aggressively stated early,,,, it means i see your comment clearly for what it is....whining about something that doesnt exist.(generally speaking...one thing that complicates matters is sometimes there are mean posts, sometimes there are nasty comments, some of them are sneaky nasty ...but that is far far far from the rule)


and if i was to whine, i'd say something like...wah wah wah... dont say full time except work because it makes me feel bad....your false assertions disbeleive and marginalize transition...dressing up during the evenings is just as good as living full time... wah wah

i bet my life on transition...one thing is i get to say "full time" and mean it...
one thing about "full time" is that it means full time... there is no middle to it, no prevarication....it feels really bad to have people not make that investment and then claim some kind of ownership to it..

but i dont...because it doesnt make me feel bad... and that's because i learned to live with my feelings and my reality by transitioning and living authentically...
there is nothing to whine about...its my life...

======================================
its your life too Eryn, maybe consider stop whining about what makes you feel belittled and live your life in a way that makes you feel included instead of demanding people dont share their experience..

maybe consider that transitioned people actually know more about transition than you... maybe consider that's OK with you and live your different life the way you want and be good with it...

it surprises me because the things i read about your personal journey seem like you are making excellent progress and doing very well...but your posts in this thread and other tell another story



and one last thing... easy transitions are possible...hard work and serendipity and dare i say priviledge(appearance, $$, a bisexual wife) can really help a person achieve hugely successful outcomes..does that make you feel better??
