...that I love you all, and I'm here with hugs for anyone who wants or needs one. *holds out her arms and smiles warmly*

It just seems like there's a lot of drama lately between non-binary and binary folks, and that hurts me, because while I may not consider myself non-binary, I find that I identify with a lot of feelings and experiences of non-binary members.

So... I hope none of you lovely people mind me posting this thread here. I guess I just wanted to offer something positive from the binary side. Thanks for all the interesting and insightful discussions that I enjoy reading.

I certainly will join hands with you, and wish the same for everyone here.

as a radical hippi Jesus freak pre op bi-trans binary leaning MTF female I  just say love and let it be.

*hugs*

I don't know really where I fit in, or sometimes even if I fit in.  But I second Pikachu's sentiment.

Love to All,

I'm kind of on the edge between binary and non-binary. I don't get why there's drama and agree with Pikachu.

peace

Great avatars pic.  Sooner or later we are going to get the drama out.

I seem to be a trigger, hope not, trying to be less emotional.

So my dear, welcome.

Nails out hair down,

Aww, I don't think that, SJ. You're awesome. Reading your posts makes me smile.

*gives you a warm hug*

o.O

Looks like things have been going to heck around here recently.  And I've been too busy to read walls of text for the time being.

Support site folks, love the opinions, don't like the unnecessary conflict going on.  We may disagree on nuances and points, but mustn't forget that as a group we are a misunderstood minority, binary or non-binary.  Infighting of the sort that has been going on recently has no benefit to anyone.

Love this site when it is at its best, bothersome at its worst. 

Totally agree.  We need all of us..

Pikachu

You are a lovely person and always welcome

Thanks, Aisla. I feel more "at home" in this section of the forum, actually. I've always felt somewhat out of place in the MTF section, since it's mostly focused on transitioning aspects that don't apply to me.

i noticed your absence when you came back...
actually before, but it's difficult to remember names with all the online connections that i have.

i also like this section. firstly because it saved me from making a mistake. not sure how big a mistake it would have been to so binary transition, but i'm quite sure it would have been a mistake.
and secondly, because there's less focus on transition here. the irc chat can be interesting at times, but i soon feel out of place when the talk is only about medical transition.
the friends i got here also mean a lot to me, but... i don't see them as solely part of this section, so it kind of doesn't really apply. friends are friends no matter which section they're from.

Yeah? Well, it's cool to know that people noticed I was gone. I didn't post a whole lot in general, and I think I mostly just lurked this section, so I'm a bit surprised.

It does seem like this section is less focused on that kind of stuff. Sometimes it feels like hormones are all people have on their minds in the MTF section. Like there's no transition at all without them. It's like there's this weird mythology we've built up, where they literally cure and change everything. Everything transition related will suddenly fall in place with the magic of the girl pills!

Hi, I am new here but what have seen in my lurking and learning years is that some people have that need or yearning to be "normal" and it is hard to get away from that in our society.  We are born and raised in a binary environment from bathrooms to schools.  I used to have those same feelings.  I wanted to be "normal", but after the long road to get my hormones I realized I missed many years of my life wishing. 

One day, I hope to be female, but I am just riding t his wave of incongruity and enjoying the ride that is our life.

i might have lurked some in other sections as well...

that sounds great, ali. learning to just be, i finally found happiness. i'm still wanting to transition, but it turns out that wasn't necessary to fix my life. it may be necessary for fixing my body, but that's something quite different. being sure of myself as trans seems to be more important than getting that magical cure.

I agree totally Ali, and have also wasted much of my life trying to be normal, society just relentlessly tries to drill that into our mindset.

I wish so much I could change my internal thought process faster and further into some next step to expand or transition, even if just within my own mind, but I get feeling like its too late for me, and I'm just rattling my chains up and down the halls here, not accomplishing much of anything except taking others time. Maybe that was my part in any unrest here, was just frustrating others with my slowness to learn and understand things. For that I am sorry..

I am here for any of you, even though I may not have as much as I'd like to be able to offer, never the less, I will still try.

It is never to late, unless your dead.  While we are alive, we must be true to ourselves no matter where our journey starts, stops, or pauses.  We are all in this world together and not one of us are getting out alive!
