Thanks for your reply Frances.

You raise a very important issue and the reason behind why I personally want GRS/SRS. I do feel
uncomfortable about being pre-op but I do not feel at all guilty about it, because I know it was
never my choice why I am the way I am. As far as I am concerned, people either deal with it of
they don't. This is the way I have learnt to cope with it and feel as happy and comfortable as I
can be while I am still pre-op. I really don't see any sense at all in making life anymore harder than
it already is. Being pre-op hasn't really presented itself as any sort of a hurdle for me and the only
time I really feel any grief about it is when I am on this forum and we get into these long drawn
out arguments about this issue.

I just got a message from a member of this forum who shall remain unnamed just sent me this PM and I think it really highlights how
uncomfortable some of the post-op girls make others who are are also struggling to feel. This is a really sad reflection of how helpful
certain members of this forum really are...

I just wanted to say thank you for your posts. I have a lot of respect for you, and you seem very well informed. I probably won't be posting in the transsexual forum anymore, (I simply can't stomach the "it's my way or your a freak" mentality of so many there.) But, I wanted to let you know, it's refreshing to see your posts that are thought out and well informed.
Frances, I really appreciate the way you have reached inside to bring your inner most feelings out and put it
in a context where others will listen to why you are much happier after having GRS/SRS. You have never once
tried to belittle others with any of your comments and I really do appreciate that. However there are a few here
I think that need to tone it right down in how they speak to other members of this forum because it only serves
to drive other people away.

So thank you Xx
