It seems to come down to one thing here- the definitition of respect. We here need to give each other the respect that others outside the community deny us. What do I feel that means? One, getting over ourselves with the labels here in the community. Not that I mean not to respectfully acknowledge our differences, but to not tear each other apart. We're an entire culture (or sub- culture) here. We need to deal with how we are different from the people out there. As far as the friends and family on here who are involved and trying to understand and support, I include this. And did I here a rather nasty argument between 2 people from the US and Britain? Just what the heck did that have to do with the rest of this? Ive never disrespected a moderator, and am not trying to now, but really, Tamara. That all said, we do still have differences, in exactly who we are, cd, ts mtf, ts ftm, gg, you get my point. It seems that there are not only an individual forum for each group of us, but also plenty that we can share stuff in common. I wont say Ive never posted on a TM forum, but only by accident, and appologized and said feel free to remove it.
Ill some up by saying that on this thread, it seemed like there were some cheap shots being taken by some. I know we arent perfect, but if we're here to help each other, we've got to do better that that.
