Annie,
I completely agree with your sentiments about Tibetan's and Sammie's postings. Everyone should read Sammie's post, and if it were possible, make it a 'sticky'. It is just so heartfelt and loaded with information that all the world should come to understand. I, too, felt that Tibetan was describing what she thought the attitudes of the women on the ugly website were, not her own feelings. In my response, I didn't mean to imply that she shared those attitudes. It was really meant to counter those attitudes with a dose of reality.
Sammie's video posting was right in line with her wonderful posting above. My appreciation for what TGs go through in trying to find acceptance from without, as well as from within, has growth with each passing month. Maybe it's because I'm learning more and more about the depth of my own TG nature, and the need to find ways to integrate it into my daily life. It's hard to partition one's life into both male and female gender roles. Eventually, I'll have to decide which is most important for my overall peace of mind and overall well being.
BTW, I just received my copy of 'Annabel' in the mail and will begin to read it soon. I'm happy to hear that you love the work so far, and want to thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Clara
