LH, I always appreciate what you have to say. I could care less if someone wants to medically transition.

Jack, I agree that ranting and some kind of consoling rarely helps solve any problem, but it's what certain people seem to want...
If that's all the board ever did, I think it would be pretty useless, but mostly people want more than that.

Yeah definitely.  Just don't want the few cases to kinda scare people out of actually giving advice in fear of backlash.  That was my line of thinking.  Most people DO want advice, and if they don't just leave and I guess move on.

Yeah me neither. I think this is a very good thread about those cases when that's the case. To watch out for it here, I think.
I think the most useful posts for me are when people say, "I went thru this kind of thing and here's what I did." It doesn't always apply but often times it's useful to someone else.
