Hi Blanche, well I was a misfit since I became of age to go to grade school, I learned to ignore but never got use to no way but then what could i do pick a fight? Anyway I do agree that the derogatory terms discussed here are not very palatable in anyway except maybe for the few that allow you to still keep your dignity.

I got lucky in the little town where I came out hte folks accepted me and I had not problems outside of the odd sneer from teenagers and after a year that all died out, and I was respectfully adressed me by the proper name and gender pronouns. Shortly after starting  full time I never even heard the word Transsexual again until 8 years later when I came back to this group last year. I have a partner, she is TS M-F and It don't bother me if we are described as Lesbian. No one else appears to have any problems with our relationship either.

Cindy
