Lately, as in the last several months, my life had been hectic, drama-filled (87.5 percent my own fault; I did the math), and spiraling out of control. However, some of my drama and emotions have spilled out on this board and I probably pissed off a lot of people. People that didn't deserve a nasty response or to be talked down to in an arrogant way. There's just so much one person can take and I feel so alone most of the time. But this doesn't excuse some of my responses or the arrogant, I know it all, way that I have been acting. And I wanted to offer a general apology to the whole community. I feel like a lot of people probably don't want to respond to a post of mine, cause of the drama that may follow. That's understandable.At least, that's how I'd be.

I just kind of had an awakening after another drama filled night after I got hammered on cranberries and vodka. And so I awoke and had this awakening. And so I hope if I offended anyone, talked down to anyone, replied in a snide, childish manner, that you can accept my apologies and forgive me. It's okay if you don't. I was going to post an apology a month ago, but I just kind of didn't and went back to being a b!tch. It needs to change. In the next month or so, I will be in therapy, which I have to go to for multiple reasons, like SRS but also because transition isn't a game and there is a lot that gos into it and going from one presentation to the next, has been taxing to say the least and I have no support system. I have my BF but he hates HRT talk, or trans/intersex talk at all, though not always and he must look it up and in a hardcore way, because he knew a lot about the differences of MTFs and FTM HRT therapy and how we respond to it. I was flabbergasted. But lately he told me not to talk about it and refers to my junk as my cooch. I think the relationship is on thin ice and that's another reason I have been so b!tchy. He's all I have and when he goes, I will literally have no one.

But luckily I start therapy soon, like i desperately need because I need an attitude adjustment and that's because being treated as a woman by everyone, even when presenting male-ish, has been great but so different and I just don't know how to react sometimes,what to say, and sometimes I just either say nothing or become very arrogant. I'm actually a really nice person who is incredibly sweet. I have been told that my whole life. But lately, I feel like that isn't true. I know you can't help but change when you transition, but the one thing I don't want to lose, the one thing that has helped me my whole life, is my ENFJ personality and m enthusiasm and sweetness.

So, I just hope if I have offended you , or if you're just like, oh no, not a post from that total b!tch Joanna Dark, that you/we can move on now that I am actively trying to being a sweet, lovable little woman again. Not a feminazi b!tch. That's not who I am. And the dram ends today. So, sorry.

I for one totally accept this. I have my own issue's and have been rubbing people the wrong way lately so I don't judge others. I could tell something was bugging you a LOT and hoped you would get to this point on your own like you did. It should make you feel better that you recognized it and are taking steps to deal with it, so BIG HUG time!  :icon_hug: :icon_hug: :icon_hug:

Welcome back Sister!  :-*

Well, at least you've acknowledged your issues and care enough to try and resolve them.  Good luck.

To dream of the person you would like to be is to waste the person you are.

Welcome back Sister!  :-*

Thanks so much.It's like with that "Smile B!tch" post. So many trans women go through so much and to have to read some post from some entitled brat about how oppressed she is because men think she is a attractive and would be even prettier if she smiled some more. It's not the end of the world if that happens,and for a trans woman, especially someone who is still relatively early in transition to get these types of responses from some men and (and last night a lesbian) to be told how pretty she is, I should be elated. I should feel validated. I should smile. Maybe it's different for a cis girl, but I'm not one, no matter how much I want to be, I'm a trans woman with an intersex condition, and I should accept that. Not try to be someone who has been being street harassed for decades, cause that's not true. It's been a year.

I mean I'm not always even that pretty, it's weird, only sometimes, and my BF told me he heard some girls talking on the subway and were like "wow she must either be the luckiest person in the world or have the sweetest, best personality ever." He's really hot, and I'm sure a lot of girls sometimes are like, how did she land him. And really, it's cause of how sweet I am. He told me this. But lately I havent been and I need to change this and now before I lose him. Yeah, he has problems but he really cares about me and his actions, not words show that.

So I take back the whole smile thing too. A lot of trans women go through so much and here I am being a total jerk about it, which must hurt some trans women. And the last people in the wolrd I want to hurt are trans women. You're alll my sisters and the people I have so much in common with so the last thing I woudl want is to hurt any of you.

I just hope this isn't some empty one day thing. That I really change. But, like I said I'm starting therpy so that's going to help and I may have a job at target so I will have money again. I'm pretty broke most of the time now. Luckliy, the uniforms there are standard and unisex so it won't make me dysphoric.

@Alaina, Steph and Kim: Thanx!

im sure many people on here have spilled out at people and therefore every one need to to open the pressure release valve called there mouth.  and with what we are all going through or been through on here we should expect it i like to think we are sisters/brothers (siblings just to cover everyone on here) in arms. i only expct an apology when you are not here for us to explode at when we have hard time :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
we are all beautiful in our own way its just some people don't see it :-*

Hey, we've all done things we'd rather we hadn't, especially when we're under stress - the important thing is to have the maturity and insight to admit they were mistakes, learn from them and move forward. The past is in the past. :)

Dear Joanna,

The day I meet a trans*person without issues is the day I know we have won.

As an Admin far greater than I once said "An apology goes a very long way on this site"

Joanna,

Kudos to you - it takes a lot to make a public apology like this, and you have my respect for it.

I don't think I've earned your ire from any of my posts, and even if I did, I've already forgotten... Mind of a goldfish and all...

I hope you find yourself, and peace as you go forward in therapy.

Hugs,
Luna
