Hmmm, isn't it interesting that Anne is told that she is silly for worrying about the bullying of her children, but yet what can you call the negative comments made to her if not bullying!. Fascinating.
And may I point out that not venturing out in public en femme does not mean that one cannot help the cause of transgendered rights in other ways. In fact, I could argue that by defending transgendered rights when presenting as a male can have a tremendous impact on our fellow human beings. Furthremore, telling someone how they should live there lives has serious negative connotations in any free society.
Should we support those who wish to venture into the larger world en femme...of course! They need our support and I think we do a good job of supporting them. Those who further our broader transgenderism in other ways need to be supported and praised as well. As I pointed out in the previous thread, we all live in some sort of closet on some issues...it would be imprudent/unwise/rude/etc not to do so.
This forum is for informational support. I, for one, am always incredibly keen to read all the details of anyone's journey into the larger world. There are always little tidbits there that help my presentation and expectations en femme. Those in the closet often tell about interpersonal relationship issues that are just as useful and interesting.
We all help and together we can all make a difference.
