Honestly, I was so angry before. I knew what I was and took out my anger one everyone around me. My brother and others comment on it sometimes. I haven't said anything to anyone yet. I guess the other thing is that thing down there is no long active.

Honestly, I don't think I will ever be able to rid myself of anger. If anything, it has intensified over the years. As I said on a friend's podcast, I wouldn't feel this way if I didn't have to deal with certain bigoted family members (they don't say anything transphobic 99.9% of the time. But they let the mask slip and don't realize how dumb they are for doing it in front of me.) I NEVER forget things like this. Factor in our supremely evil government now officially putting targets on our backs, that has just added more fuel to the fire.

Having said that, I don't hold back anymore AT ALL, not in person. This is the only site where I try to watch what I say. I had a previous account that was banned once I said some stuff to a mod that was over the line, and I will always take responsibility for what I said. So, I am watching my tongue around here. Here's why: I don't have anyone to really vent to without feeling I am just destroying them, and that makes me feel incredibly guilty, and THAT leads to very dark thoughts, and I don't like being in that headspace. So, I decided to come full circle and return here.

I'm sorry if this derailed things a bit. I will return you to your regularly scheduled program. But first, here's Portia Porcupine with this afternoon's weather.

This comment is NOT directed to anyone specifically.

There are many problems in life.  What is made and learned from them can shape a better future.

Those who have emotions, thoughts, and actions which might be called problematic should try to talk with someone who will listen and provide helpful guidance.  A trained, professional counselor who can be objective may be the way to go. 

Anger can be so destructive to relationships and self.  I doubt anyone wants to be angry.

Big hugs to all who are struggling.


Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

For me it was the complete lack of harassment. I am surprised that I apparently pass as I don't personally see it myself.

Don't get me wrong I love my bottom surgery but I don't know if I could have survived the harassment that many trans people go through.

I am glad you did not experience harassment Athena.
