"You can" in no way implies that you have to do anything. It does imply that you may do something if you so desire to put forth the effort to achieve your goal.

"There are no legal glitches to coming out,living your life 24/7 as your authentic self." It sounds like everybody agrees that legally there are no issues, at least not significant.

"There are no social glitches that are any more insurmountable than what a transitioner faces." This is where everybody seems to have an issue, and I don't understand why. Rogina never says THERE WILL NOT be any glitches. Only that they will not be any more insurmountable than what a transitioner faces. Does anybody believe that a person who has transitioned has not faced the same potential issues which have been pointed out above, whether it be family, friends, work, potential divorce, or any of the other hundreds of potential pitfalls that can come from every direction? I would be so bold as to say they have hit every potential roadblock and then some.

"Own it and live it.. Life is way too short to do otherwise.." Amen to this. Whatever life you choose to live, OWN it. If you do not choose this specific path, that is fine. If you are completely closeted, that is fine too. But own the life that you present, whatever it is. Enjoy it to the best of your abilities.

I have seen it stated many times that this forum is a safe place. A place to be who you want to be, and to share it with people who have something in common. A place to ask questions, or share concerns without judgement. But it seems like I have seen too many posts where the OP gets attacked, for sharing their opinion on something. And more often than not, the attacks come from not fully reading and comprehending what was originally said. It's understandable that so many people only sit in the background and post nothing, out of fear of attack.

I recently saw a post where the OP was simply stating a preference for GGs who present in a certain manner. However, many people, including a moderator jumped on the bandwagon that the OP should not be trying to force GGs to conform. The OP never suggested trying to make anybody conform, but only stated a preference for those who did present a certain way. It was equivalent to me saying I like big breast, but somebody twisting my words to say that I was trying to force everyone to get a H cup breast enhancement immediately. Absolutely ludicrous!

Just my two cents worth. Feel free to attack now.
