I think the line of demarcation has to do with whether someone is living full time as a female, RLE & beyond. Despite the fact that I am TS, I am personally stuck in between worlds, often seen as taking things too serious for many on the CD side of the fence and yet not "committed" enough on the TS side since I am digging my heels into my middle path. That makes any advice I can offer in this section limited to a certain degree. I would never comment on anything RLE or beyond other than to convey that which I have personally observed or discussed with TS friends of mine who are living that life. However, I will never hesitate to chime in for those who are struggling with their identity and what it means to their life as a whole. My take is that the middle-of-the-road approach is truly an option for those of us who are somehow able to cope with their GID without dropping a nuke on their life as they know it.
The tone in this section has become much more kinder and gentler in the last several months. There is a fine line between "you go girl" and a bit of tough love. I think this section leans towards the latter without the vitriol that was present before.
