bad puns on the whole

I do admit to hesitating when going to read the girl's sections. I feel kinda like a guy sneaking into the women's locker room. lol

Same here, only been in the girls section a couple of times.

I do the recent unread topics link only because it's a habit I've formed over the past decade of forum browsing.
I probably, without that habit, would stick to 'my' own forum and pop over to the others once every few weeks to catch up on news or things I might learn.. being a scientist and all, I am naturally curious.

I are reading all yer secrets.

Actually, I've been thinking about this a bit. We're here because we're all "crossing borders" in our own way. I've come to the conclusion that I'm not here just because I hate how I am, but because we all at one point and time have felt this way. To me, I consider this site "Neutral Ground" for learning about everything I can, from both sides of the game. Not only can I read about experiences from (sorry... ) a male to female transition I'm learning things I hadn't thought about from the female to male side of this and I can relate to what the guys are going through.

We've all talked about what we've hated about growing up male, or growing up female. We've all talked about what we've wished growing up could have been like. And I love every minute of what I read.

If someone told me, that I had to set a gender marker on my user account, and was told I could not go into the boys room I think I would have to stop coming here. This site has been such an asset to me, from both the males and the females PoV.

I read both, but mostly I stay on the girls' side.  Some of the boys' stuff makes me feel like I'm intruding on their space. 

But I am often struck by how similar our experiences are, regradless of which direction we are going.  (And yes, there are more than two directions.)

unread posts thing, have to actively look if I want to know what page I'm on.

Awwwwe, don't be shy O

Us girls like a lil' attention from the guys now and then  Especially if it involves dancing 

Lately I just go through all the unreplied topics since the last visit but initially I just stuck to the guys forum.  I go to the ladies forum too more often now.  They have interesting topics with a lot of structual (and in some cases heated) debates.

I read threads in most of the forums, but like VM i've learned to be careful of where i post

Yeah I noticed there is alot more heated discussions/drama in the mtf section then in the ftm section. I go to the ftm section alot more now, it's so peaceful and there are some handsome fellows over there too!

My other secret reason for going to the mtf section was because there are some beautiful ladies over there too.   

I tend to read threads with titles which grab my attention regardless of which forum they're in. I enjoy all the different perspectives. That being said, I find the way you guys think somewhat enlightening, and I get a lot of insight into the male mind from reading threads in that forum. It's an interesting experience, and always worth seeing approaches to similar issues from the other side, as it were.

Likewise with the Mtf section.  I always find it nice to get a woman's touch on issues.

I look at unread since last visit, mostly. I read the news sections because when I'm posting there I often get distracted by everything else that's been posted. I often search the site for a topic and end up in the girls' section.

I do feel a little weird about clicking intentionally into mtf forums, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I love the feedback we all have for each other.

I scan most things. I like lots of stuff so if it is interesting I read and reply. That's the fun of the site for me.

Hardly ever read the guys forum since I got flamed over there.

Simply lost interest to be quite honest. Horses for courses, eh :-)

Yes, I read the FTM forums. Only forum I rarely, rarely go into is the "significant others".

I post on both because I'm a rebellious teenager.
Oh, me.

Plus I think I like FTMs better.

I read almost everything, and I'll post anywhere if I have something to say. And I can't resist a barbershop or urinal thread! Hugs, Devlyn
