Segregation and Stealth

Well as most of you know I am living full time. Doing so has really affected change in my life on a scale I could never have imagined. Most of it seems to be within myself. Like the way I think and the way I feel about everything really. I want to understand myself as well as others like me.  Why do I have these thoughts and very real feelings? I know it is not just me who is thinking about some of things I am going to discuss. I have 3 close TS friends living full time who I have discussed things with and will discuss further for sure. I hope I can communicate these as openly and honestly without sounding elite, disrespectful or mean. This is definitely NOT a blog intended to do so in any way.  I do not think myself better than everyone else. I'm as flawed as the rest of humanity.  If you cannot respect these feelings and thoughts maturely I suggest you go elsewhere.

I feel these topics are all to often dismissed as only hurtful. Too many people in the TG community are not willing to deal with these subjects in a mature fashion. They want to sweep the subject under the carpet and forget about it. Accusations of elitism or purposeful flaming always seem to follow these topics. Is it really so difficult for the TG community to deal with these subjects openly, honestly and respectfully? We will never evolve fully until everyone can discuss EVERY painful or TABOO subject without the fear of reprisals.The art of discussion and debate seems to have been lost long ago. Flame wars, fear and anger seem to have replaced them.
