I'm deeply concerned...

Yes, but the round waffles are infinitely superior to the square ones.  That's why I have a ROUND waffle machine and use only REAL maple flavored sugar free syrup!  >

Ah but do you eat them for breakfast or for a later meal as the Belgiums intended.

On the other hand, as long as we remain cognizant of the labels' limitations, they can and do serve a purpose.  They're like any other tool.  They can hurt, they can help.

Absoloutely, Helen.  The problem lies in when we let the tool use us, rather than vice versa.  I'm not sure how else to put it.  I see that a real issue we're overcoming as people today is our obsession with placing artificial things and concepts above human feelings.  It's understandable.  After all, our eyes look out and not in.  It requires a certain degree of blindness to search the self for the answer, rather than rely on external sources.

At the mentioning waffles, I can't help but remember one of my favorite Simpsons quotes.

"I hate it when the waffles stick together!"
"Well, stickin' together's what good waffles do."

Blair......eloquently simple, simply eloquent.  Thanks

I'm just going to blush for once. 

Thanks...  I find that my immense knowledge of cartoon quotes serves my purposes quite well.

Mu ha ha ha ha...

I Never waffle on a subject.  French Toast is superior to both.  I fed all three to Harry Benjamin, and he wrote a 23 page report supporting this decision.  So.....REAL WOMEN EAT FRENCH TOAST!

Bev

This made me laugh so hard I am crying! Thank you, thank you so much, I really needed that!

So if Harry Benjamin (a man) thought french toast was superior, how does that make it a woman's food?  I think he only wrote the report because you threatened to feed him more French Toast.  >

You better mean real maple syrup.  Not the awful stuff with fake flavors and artificial sweeteners.  Real maple syrup is straight-up awesome.

Ahh....but Mellissa, you're so right.  Harry Benjamin is a man, how do all his opinions make them womens' opinions?  My gender physician is a woman 
BTW....I didn't threaten him, I offered, and he accepted  >  .

Blair, I'm no longer only concerned, I'm weary.  This whole competition over who is more TS is ludicrous.  It's like a pregnancy contest among already pregnant women.  Let the "professionals" do the test.  Yes, you are all pregnant.  But wait.....all you pregnant women who have not developed breasts......you're not as pregnant as some of us would like you to be.  Your body does not adequately match our personal opinion of what constitutes 'pregnant woman'. 

Let's get with the program, folks, either you are, or are not TS.  If acquiring a surgically-made vagina is the ideal criteria, then maybe there should be a special forum designed.  Maybe we could call it "The Master TS" forum.  Neovaginas only, please


Oh!  By the way, I've considered yet another forum, haven't thought of a name for it yet, but only TS's with C-cup breasts will be considered 'real' women.  No....sorry, neovaginas may not be substituted for 'womanly' breasts of C-cup of larger.  So.....are all you 'real' girls going to join me?

Help me, help me!  I just got hit by the 'smite' button for being rude. Bad Bev....RUUUDE Bev.  I'll never get over it.  Never.  How will I tell my SO?  What will I tell my therapist?  *sigh*

Although this observation is stated as Universal Fact, one cannot but notice that it is a [personal] and subjective attribution to a thread which cannot be universalized for ALL readers of said thread.

Indeed, there may be redudant, boring... and oh yes... even OLD components (raises hand) to be found in it's diverse manifestions. But to consider the ENTIRE thread, as an entity in whole, to BE, as a form of identity, "redundant, boring, and old," may be unfair and unjust to it's overall existence as a dynamic, living work of art and creativity.

Listen people. When Katia's telling you that you've gone on too long I suggest you listen. She is the "Queen B!tch," and it's unwise to upset her.

Bri, reverently.

That's funny.  You got a smite and an applaud for the same post.

I think part of the problem is that we are a minority of a minority.  In such, makes each and everyone of us an individual.  Then we try to label each other.  None Op. Pre Op, Post Op, TS, CD, TV, TG, IS, ect.  Soon we will have more labels, then people with gender identity disorder. (sarcasm)

This is what I tell people in person who ask about me.

So what are you then?
I am a Lesbian male to female transsexual post op woman with a little extra. 
What..a little extra. What is post op?  What does that mean? 
Post op means I have had some surgery.
What about the little extra, hehe
It is very personal. 
But how does that work? 
Well how does it work when you're with your partner?
What, hehehe. I'm not going to tell you. 
Well now you know I feel on that subject.  You could ask my girl friend maybe.
No, I'm ok with that.  I do find it very interesting.
Indeed.

I like my coffee with sugar.  You can take yours have ever you take it.  We can still have coffee together.
