Fear not, I come in peace…
You’re free to disagree with me but it seems to me like the controversy of recent days was sparked when a paradigm shifted towards compartmentalizing everything and all of us. Then, as would be expected, those who felt ostracized responded by throwing gas on the fire and before you know it, people are over zealously defending their positions, methods and expertise. It doesn’t matter if you want to feminize yourself (in one or more ways) because you have a breast fetish or because you have GID. It doesn’t matter if you use HRT, herbs, suction, hypnosis, message or magnetic therapy. We all have one thing in common which should be able to be handled by one forum as long as we remember what unites us. A house divided against itself will not stand.
I come here often to share my heart and fellowship because many of you are the only ones in my life who really “get me” (I’m sure some don’t like me but I’ll get to that in a second). Often times, what I and others share has very little to do with NBE, HRT, the sub forum title or even the thread itself. It might even be completely out of place for any thread anywhere on this forum …but it needs to be said by that individual and it’s important because PEOPLE, not categories, methods or anything else, are what really matter. I don't fully get all of you but we have enough in common that I love you nonetheless and whether you respond or not to something I post, I feel like I’m being heard, which sometimes, is all I need. If I don’t get you, understand you or care about the topic you bring to the conversation I’ll just politely ignore your comments (as demonstrated by my recent silence as the shit hit the fan) but I’LL never devalue you. Let’s remember what we have in common and give each other a little [more] grace.
