It's not a particular person Rogina, it's just a sort of movement towards a very relaxed interpretation of transition that some of us would like to see nipped in the bud.

The value of this forum (in my opinion) is largely derived from the frank and honest information from the people that have actually transitioned. Some of us here want to retain the integrity of words like Transition and Full-time and some others want to keep stretching the meaning of long held terms until pretty much everyone is considered to be transitioning even though they have no intention of even changing their name.

It's gotten to the point that people get on HRT and start giving transition advice. I can't speak for the other girls, but my concern isn't for the established gals. It's for the new gals (or dudes) who don't know the difference. I know the Safe Haven is allegedly for transitioners but I'm told that there are part time people in there as well and besides that wouldn't help the people who have questions anyway.

I would personally like to see the TS group be a closet free zone, but instead we have what I would consider to be way too much discussion about 'no fly zones' and 'male mode'. Most of us here consider 'coming out' to be an integral part of the process and lately there is a contingent who would argue that coming out is optional. Shoot we even had a few gals recently trying to redefine a term as old as RLE. Obviously it's just semantics for the familiar, but there are a LOT of people who read and never post. These people have concerns and I really like the idea that if they stumble onto this site (like I did) they will at least find some clarity.
