I am accepting...as long as you are like me!

[Chantelle CD]

I have noticed that there is a certain degree of intolerance here on this board.

I wasn't going to make an issue out of this, but I seriously feel that I may want to search for somewhere else.

There is way too much bashing of homosexual and bisexuals here.

Words like "ick" and "eww" and "nasty" are not really needed.

Has anyone else picked up on this? I sort of understand it from the GGs and the SOs...they feel threatened, so it gets their dander up.

I want to remind everyone here that we all (at least the CDs/TGs) are involved in something that is generally not accepted by mainstream society. For you to call someone else "nasty" or "icky" is just plain ignorant!!

Don't be a hypocrite. We all want acceptance, and alienating one another is not going to get us where we want to be. We all have our opinions about things, but ripping into someone, the way I have seen done here, does not exactly solidify us as a community.

Gays and Lesbians are united, and they show support for one another...this is one reason that they are generally more accepted than CD/TGs.

Seriously...if you are straight, gay, or bi, it doesn't matter...we are all in this thing together. Slamming one another (don't even say it) for our sexual preferences or habits demeans us all and makes us nothing more than those we seek to change.

Should we segregate this forum?? A certain area for CDs, another for TGs, another for gay CDs, another for straight CDs, another for Black CDs, another for Jewish CDs, another for middle aged CDs, another for Hindu CDs...you see where I am going???

I have not been here long...and I feel that some of you are really great, and I feel that ALL of us deserve better than the treatment I have seen dished out here.

Please, let me know if I am out of line here. If this board is going to turn into a place that only CDs that are straight, out to their SOs (if they have them), and otherwise meet some kind of criteria can participate, beyond being CD/TG, then let me know...and I will be gone.

Thanks,
Morgan

You are not alone my friend in your thoughts, and i have also thought about changing forums as well, for i have felt judged by a fair few here for my beliefs feelings and thoughts as i grow with this part of myself, and understanding of myself, sure i may say one thing, and really believe it, but then it changes a month later as i get a deeper understanding. I have noticed a lac of replies to my posts by a great number of people on here as well, and that includes Admins as well!!! It does seem as though there are a lot here that tend to judge, and hate others for there opinions and beliefs as they grow with this part of themselves, Hmmm something i thought this forum was all about, would have expected more from the leaders of this forum! Its not acceptance that i seek really, for this crossdressing thing, TS, TG gay, or bi, pfft comeon peops its simple judgment and giving another there right to there own life experiances, and allowing them to have it, and to still see them for what they really are, LIGHT, alive, a point of view in this amazing world we ummmmmmm....SHARE maybe.

On the other hand, there are a few people that dont judge, and have really big hearts, they are the ones that keep me here, as i try to grow, and become what i am, and finaly stop the battels with myself.

You are like a breath of fresh air here, if you do go, let me know where you go and feel at home with others that want to grow, and not be judged.
