I'd hate to impede Dude-Land, but sometimes I do interject my comments.

I think that I've learned a lot from the guys here.
It's very interesting the similarities and the differences.

I don't think the FTM board would be open to anyone other than us if it was only meant for us to post, this is a place of support and insight which the ladies can definitely give at times and I have no problem with that.

And to add, I think no matter where we post we should have respectful comments (not that its always going to be that way with such a variety of people and minds) because I don't think Susan started these forums with the intention of debate.

Nothing wrong with debate, argument is another story.

I quite like the ladies joining in they tend to give a different view of things. Also ive noticed that they re always there with a shoulder to cry on when we need it or a cheer when somethings gone right. After all, apart from a few technicalities, we're all in this together

I was never one for "private" forums unless it really covers some seriously private business. It doesn't bother me in the least if you ladies are posting around here. Just because this section of the forum is called Female to Male Transsexual Talk, doesn't mean it's off limits. :p

I like it when MTF's join in.  The wider the range of perspectives on a topic, the more interesting the thread is to read.

I think it's fine. =] As long as what you say is at least somewhat relevant, and you aren't talking just to be talking. lol I've seen a few girls post in the forums, and it didn't bother me at all. It's good to be able to post in everyone's forums. =)

Hey! Fellas! I have a general topic/discussion/question and I want you to be honest, k? How do you feel about MTF and non-dudes coming into your forums and responding to posts and generally engaging in conversation? I see a lot of super interesting topics in your area many times and then sometimes I see the responses and it feels like me responding is the equivalent of walking in on a living room of guys talking and sharing my thoughts. In some cases, that just wouldn't be cool. I'm thinking mainly of like topics that are general and open, not stuff that I have never related too. Like I don't deal much with some of the things you guys talk about but some of the topics are things I have experience with or where I just want to converse about. What do you guys think? Not just about me, but in general? Inquiring minds want to know Meghan

You're completely welcome here I do the same thing in the ladies' forum pretty often.

Not to sound like a broken record ... but it doesn't bother me in the least if ladies post in this thread...I actually like getting some advice from a female who was trapped in a male body and had to play that role for a while.

On the flip side guys, it's always interesting to hear your point of view on things in the MtF forum

Still playing that role, but hopefully not for too much longer.  I've developed quite the acting talent over the years.  Hollywood couldn't afford me.

I have been concerned about posting here too.  :/



(Especially because Osiris and DRAIN are scary meanypantses.)

I don't mean to be scary! There might even be a few people who think I'm... nice?

No way, Dude!  I've found your posts quite interesting.  It's nice to have [even a subtle] reminder that we are all humans here, not a Transgender Elite Squad.

And as for girls and others, I'm fine with that too.  Sometimes I get confused about pronouns though if a poster doesn't have a gender marker chosen.  I'm not sure if ze/hir are appropriate for everyone?

I tend to take the "FTM" subforum as a "place where we talk about blokes" not "blokes-only-land".
I tend to see the MTF subforum pretty much the same, 'cept "chicks" insted of blokes.

so... it's all good by me.

I had to live a male life but along the way learned a lot about it.  I know that world very well.  I usually pipe in when the I think my perspective or experience can be of some help. 

I'm guessing a lot of guys here learned a lot about the female world.  They can offer a perspective on it that I can get honestly and I've really appreciated help from the guys.

But there are times when I have wondered if I'm butting in.  It's nice to see that's not the case.
