Why shouldn't you, or anyone else share their milestones and their happinesses?
I would also suggest that we all try to remember that different people are in different stages of transition around here.
Some are just starting, others have been living as themselves for years, others about to get GRS/GCS/SRS (whatever) and others are long post-op: not everyone is going to see a major success when someone has one. We either haven't gotten there yet or had that particular success years ago.
That not everyone is going to be excited for me when I write about being "ma'am-ed" "miss-ed" or "hey, woman-ed"
or when I find a boyfriend, girlfriend, start hormones, have GRS, get FFS, go to a large rally for LBGT, or enter or graduate college, do a drag show, or fly in a hot-air balloon seems reasonable enough.
Not everyone is going to be interested and some of the folks here have done many of those things long before many of us had even admitted to ourselves who and what we are.
Diff'rent strokes.
I see posters get upset because no one replies to their posts, or everyone replies to their posts, or not enough or too many people reply to their posts. *sigh*
Sometimes it's just hard to balance everything.
I'll be honest, Amanda, some of your threads I absolutely love and find incredibly insightful, timely and just plain good. Others, I just cannot summon a reason to reply to. And I know people feel that way about mine, Nero's Cindy's, Tink's .... whomever.
It all washes out over time.
How many times do we see an old thread that managed to have two posts after the OP get resucitated months, sometimes even years, later because someone ran across it and replied and then the thread just takes off?
For every negative comment you've ever received here, I would bet you've had 25 or 100 positive ones. Right?
I know though, sometimes that one negative can gain a weight that the thirty positive ones cannot seem to balance.
Hugs,
Nichole
