I guess the one thing that really bothers me about the transgender community is the certain people that think just because they are a certain way or are a certain way can tell you what you are and what you are not. I had someone send me a message telling me that my views are all about sex and that I don't want to be a real woman and that was just her first couple of lines. She sent me a novel and I didn't even bother to read the rest because it was very judge mental and hateful in every word that she sent me. Its pretty much telling me that I have no clue who or what I am and that I am a fake.

On top of that she wrote like she was a 1st grader as well (yeah I read the rest just now) I just don't understand how some people can sit on their high horses and judge other people that are already struggling with all of this. Telling me that its all about a sexual high for me when in fact it really isn't. It used to be that way all the time but I really want to dress full time but I just don't have the confidence to do so.

She also told me that I will never be a woman because I don't think like a woman. Its like WTF! I am sorry if this is the wrong place to put this here but I feel like if I have a hard time accepting myself and I am here to get support I don't need negative messages from people like that. Its actually very disturbing to say the least.

I am not going to point her out because that would just be juvenile and I am not sinking to her level but since I am here to try and work my way through this I feel like I just need to vent about this because it has upset me. Normally I don't really care but perhaps I am becoming sensitive to things and nope I am not even taking hormones either, lol.

Well anyway I guess I am just venting but it just sucks that other people can act all high and mighty and discriminate towards other members just because they are further along or feel a certain way. Yeah I don't mind opinions but don't spew them to me in a private message, have the guts to spew them in a public place if you are going to be so judge mental towards someone.

Hi Sandy, I sent you a pm.

I'm locking this thread while I investigate

I will add.

I will not tolerate such discrimination on this forum, or using the forum in anyway to discriminate, insult or abuse members.

That includes using pms.
