A lot of us really struggle with life. We face rejection, and for many people, finding this site means finding out that you're not alone. It means finding out that others understand, and have your back. That you've found a place of safety and acceptance. People express these feelings all the time, particularly in the introductions section.
Now imagine finding this place and being rejected. Finding out that the people who found their own acceptance here won't extend acceptance to you.
Telling someone they're not transgender, that they don't belong here or in the community is telling that person that no one is going to accept them. Ever. That can take all of the will to live away from someone.
Please think before you post.
Hugs, Devlyn
