Nick,

I appreciate your original post in this thread.

I have access to mirrors. I've seen my avatar and my reflection in real life. I interpreted your post to be one of encouragement, that the beauty described was inner rather than what people see when they look at me. Hell, *I* don't even live up to what I consider to be visually beautiful.

The words with which you started this thread were beautiful, too. "And I praise God for you."

Fail.

She may joke like that with her friends or whatever but you don't joke like that with random people because you don' know how they'll take it. Nick was obviously offended and probably got his feelings hurt. At least that's what I got from his responses. And still, no apology.

I'm just going to leave that there for ya...You're welcome! =3

Just wanted to reply to this thread.  I think all of you are the most powerful women I know.  I know being
FTM how hard things can be.  and I know, for all of you, things are a lot harder.  I appreciate you all and love you all.  You are all Beautiful! 

A reminder of Rule 15

Why can't we all just reply appropriately to the compliment?

Like this:

Thanks OP   , sometimes we get a bit too focused and lose our sense of proportion. 
Karen.

I am FTM so I'm ALWAYS in the other section. Even though we are all trans it's like we are two seperate worlds on here! I just wanted to say that I know how ignorant some people can be, and especially how difficult it can be for MTF's because of intolerance that unfortunately I believe you guys face more so than FTMs.

Anyway, this is totally random and probably pointless but I wanted you all to know, you're all beautiful, special, and there IS someone out there who will show you all the love in the world. Even if it takes a while to find them, they will be there for you.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day

Thank you

Oh my goodness. Very heartening words; thank you! I feel beautiful today. Points at avatar.
... And I even believe I very well may find someone who I'd like to spend forever with. Happy day! Thanks for your best wishes.

Thanks Nick, nice to hear that ^^ even if I know the beauty part is not true of myself XD I've been called handsome in the past, but I am no where near beautiful. Though like I said thanks, I think it's really sweet of you to put some encouraging words on here, and it is rather bad of us not to communicate  I mean we are trans whether mtf or ftm.

Always nice to receive a compliment Nick.. Thank you.. 

And thank you to you also, mowdan6.

awe, thank you Nick!  all we need is love dah dah dadada dah

I've had an incredibly hard few weeks and am still struggling with it day-to-day, whilst faking a smile.

To see something like this is incredible. Nick, it's simply amazing.
Thank you, so much. I have hope that, just one day, I will be loved. <3
That goes for all you girls (and boys) of Susans, too! Just know that I love you, too.

Love,
Karlee.x

How could a girl as beautiful as you have any problems? 

Nick, Mowdan, you guys are just too sweet. ^_^

I'm not beautiful but I would most definitely say I am unique. I've put up with some stupid crap this week ranging from "I can't call you by your new name because of my faith" to a bit of hate vandalism to a PFLAG sticker on my toolbox at work. But I've come back to this thread a couple of times since and it made me smile. ^_^
Thank you.

I spent the weekend at a retreat on Gender and Sexuality which had the title as one of it's basic premises.  Very true Nick and Mowdan.  I include you in this too you pair of cuties. 

Karen.

Aw.
:]
