In my opinion this thread doesn't have many posts because people are tired of arguing with you about what they feel is right while having insulting comments thrown back at them for it.

Also, it may be possible that someday in the future to live as a partial female with breasts and feel accepted in society. Is it now? -- definitely not, but we don't see people that have embraced this option very often. It's also quite possible that some TS/TG have made the full transition because they feel it's the only way to fix what's wrong and somehow still fit into some part of society.

If you're happy with the decisions you have made, then I am happy for you, but I do find a lot of your more recent comments to be bluntly rude. I'm not saying that you're wrong or right, and for the choices you have made, only you can be right about them; the same can be said for everybody else in their own rights.

Some of us may end up coming to the same realizations you have months or years into their experience with PM, while others may not. Everybody is completely different, with different goals, restrictions, expectations, lifestyles, etc. and their questions, concerns, and experiences will vary greatly.

Spot on, Dargona. I couldn't have put it better.

Chrissie,
I have deliberately stayed out of the recent public fights, partly because I hate confrontation in anything and partly because of the way I perceive that you have changed in the 18months since I first came on here and started getting to know you.
We can all only go by what you say and how you say it, and inevitably we all put our own individual interpretations on those printed words, and equally inevitably we all have slightly different interpretations. So, my perception is that in the last 18months you have gone from being pleasant and helpful to me and others, and excited about your future, to being bitter and critical of everything and everyone. I have my own guesses about certain realities, but that isn't for public debate because they are only my interpretations and reading between your lines. All I can say is that I can feel your pain and possibly dashed hopes and I'm truly sorry that perhaps things aren't working out the way you had hoped. I'm pretty sure that in your way you are genuinely trying to warn people of the potential pitfalls that you are experiencing and we should thank you for that, but unfortunately, you can't prevent people following their own dreams. As I said, I hate confrontation in anything and many years ago I adopted a policy of telling people something, unemotionally, 2 or 3 times and then stepping back and leaving them to make their own mistakes, even when I know I'm right. I think you might get a better response if you try the same approach.
