When I first began, I thot.. hey, there are quite a few other transgirls around here, and in Group, and (etc) so we're all trans and we are going thru the same thing, right?
I realized, the only thing we are ALL going thru, is pain, and torment, and anguish and fear and excitement.. everyone has different levels of it, some, its raised to an order of Magnitude.. it's like football fans... they are all fans, but they have levels of crazy that others can not understand...
Biggest lesson, never assume transgirls and transguys, know each other.. I have about 18 trans friends.. few know each other, and I -never- tell one about another. If I think someone might benefit from knowing another, I will ask one, without -ever- mentioning any names, if they would like to meet/get to know others.. i will never, ever, confirm or verify someone with someone else.
What that person did, was the oldest trick in the Police interrogation book..
"Yeah, Mugsy, we know ya did it, One-Thumb Lousie tol' us.. we jus' let him go fer rattin' on ya.. now jus' 'fess up an' it'll go easier on ya!"
..... "dat dirty rat.. bu' I dint do it alone, see, it was Lousie, he's da one dat did th' job! I was jus' drivin', see..."
case, closed...
