Upon reflection, I have removed the post I previously directed at Duana within this space. Not because I believe anything I conveyed to her was inaccurate or undeserved, but rather because I now recognize, after calming down, that I allowed myself to be sucked into a no-win, petty argument with a member bent on attack regardless of the facts. In this, I regretfully lowered my otherwise high standard of conduct in my response to this particular member.
As to those members that do go out in public - yes, I very much believe that you all accomplish much good being out and about. For any that read my comment to Duana on this issue, such comment was directed solely at her, within a moment of extreme frustration, within the context that closeted crossdressers do not serve the community.
Regardless, all who know me here know that I support all members within the transgendered community. It is a beautiful, loving, caring community (for the most part), and one in which I am extremely proud to be a member of.
Last, in Duana's post that follows this post, she has quoted me from the post that I have removed. In the event you read such post, do keep in mind that these quotes are the very statements I have deleted herein.
Thanks!
Anne
