So long and thanks .....

[Beverley]

This is a good support site. Even with all the server problems and Cloudflare issues I like this forum, but recently the increases in petty, argumentative b*t*hiness has been getting to me and, quite frankly, I have had enough. No matter what thread I subscribe to it always seems that someone in it wants to bicker, squabble or bitch at someone else over something daft - the classic is 'not trans enough' or 'not trans at all'.

So I have decided to move on from here. There are a lot of likeable people here, a lot of good people who help and mean well and I will miss them, but such is life....

There are a few people I want just to say something extra to, but if you are not on this list you have not been forgotten. There are just too many of you for me to deal with.

- DonnaTroy, keep up the confidence building exercises and never worry what others think.

- Keaira, I hope your wife comes round and helps you rather than hindering.

- Devlyn, you have the patience of a saint. Keep it up.

- Bird, I hope that everything works out as you wish and that your family adapts

- The 'Aussie mafia' - you are the best! All of you. *hugs*

- Felix, you deserve a lot better in life and I hope that it all comes good for you.



Goodbye everyone.

Beverley

Kelly of the Aussie Mafia...

[Devlyn]

Thanks, hon! I wish you wouldn't go. Leave your account active. Best wishes, hugs, Devlyn

[Maja.V]

I hope you consider coming back some time. I liked reading through your advice and tips. Good luck and take care!

[Ms. OBrien CVT]

I left for the same reason.  But I am back and I just ignore those comments.  None of us are any better than anyone else.  I hope you stay, but if you have to go leave your account active.

[justmeinoz]

I hope you will reconsider Bev, but you know what you are prepared to put up with. All the best.

We do have our moments, don't we - for better or for worse :-)

It's not the first time I was having your sort of moments. There is this argument, that hanging out too much, or if you wish hanging ANY about at places like Susan's, it keeps us away from making some proper 3D experiences. 3D with real people not just the 2D web images of them.

Places like these here help, sure enough, yet how much help is a good thing?!

There is a tendency of us building our "own" sand-castles in the sand-box (Susan's) and if the sand box gets "invaded" by the wrong crowd we don't feel like playing any more - and we leave.
Like: "I'm not playing with you anymore, you ugly, and your mother dresses you funny!" 

Go well honey and all the best,

Axélle

I hate to see you go, but I know what you mean. I left a couple times, but came back. you just have to ignore some stuff.

And the title of this topic makes me think of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. So long and thanks for all the fish...

Beverley,
         I wish you would reconsider and return soon. Perhaps just a short respite will give you some time to recoup. I know it can be an emotional drain dealing with other's and their take on things because we all may internalize things a bit differently. There is a huge hormonally driven emotional battle going on within each individual due to the tremendous impact of physical and mental changes. Some occasionally act as if they are the center of the universe and that the rest are just inconsequential little pieces of their existence that orbit around them for their own self aggrandizement, it's just a maturity level thing, sort of a phase and they'll wear us out but eventually they all out grow it. There are always trolls who stealthily slip in to the forum and are intent on wrecking someone's self esteem, we can always opt out of conversations with those kinds for our own sanity and deny them in their little game. I hope you come back Beverley, you are extended family here and it hurts us all when one of us is hurting!  (((((HUGS)))))

[Catherine Sarah]

Dear Beverley,
I'm so sorry it has come to this.  I know how hard it is to deal with each day as it comes, let alone coming here and being confronted by such behaviour. Regrettably, it's a fact of life .... anywhere, as anyone.

But I appreciate, you have to do what you have to do. These are your core values; and they must be adhered to, regardless.

I sincerely trust we see your return, in the not too distant future.

Be always, safe, well and happy.
Lotsa huggs

Catherine

cya~~ Could you just figure a way out to hide posters that you dislike? Well cya later alligator!

[Hikari]

I hate to see another person go, but i will miss your contributions and i wish you the best in life.

[Bird]

I appreciate all your help Beverlely and am sorry to see you go.

[Felix]

Thanks Beverly. Good luck finding a more peaceful place. It totally makes sense to not want to be somewhere that makes you feel bad. Keep your account so you can pop in later if you feel like it. 

[Jamie D]

Beverley, you have been an inspiration to mature transitioners with adolescent or older children.  I will miss you, and your humor and charm.  Please don't be a stranger.

My best regards,
Jamie D
