You said... "BTW, it seems th...For Michelle..<br /><br />You said... "BTW, it seems that (from the comments) any trans person who has not had SRS is just a transvestite"<br /><br />That is not what is being said. If you take the time to look around ts-si.org, you will find many articles that cover this misconception. <br /><br />What is said is that a transsexual must have the desire and the will to work toward srs, or they are not transsexual. <br /><br />You would not want someone to classify you as a transvestite, right? yet you do know there are transvestites and cross dressers out there that have no problem claiming the title of transsexual. <br /><br />If you allow that to happen, and you support their right to claim that title, then why would you get offended if someone called you a transvestive also? Since you are not challenging transvestites and crossdressers when they claim to be transsexual, you are in essence saying that the two are the same. <br /><br />The Autumn Sandeen's of the world are representing you and I to lawmakers. Personaly I have no wish to be represented by anyone, and if I was going to be represented by someone, it would not be someone that is mired in the GLBT movement. I have been corrected some 25 years now. What happens from here on out is going to effect you, not me, and I thank god that when I was going through transition, I was able to represent myself to the world, without someone like Autumn Sandeen doing it for me.<br /><br />Thank youLeighnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890042402739853351.post-84087168749289976232010-05-02T14:10:48.519-07:002010-05-02T14:10:48.519-07:00Wow... just... wow.

Why do people insist on being so hateful?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890042402739853351.post-3935769608512138082010-05-02T09:21:16.037-07:002010-05-02T09:21:16.037-07:00I personally find this article disturbing based on...I personally find this article disturbing based on several thing, but also the fact the sites mission is:<br />"TS-Si is dedicated to the acceptance, medical treatment, and legal protection of individuals correcting the misalignment of their brains and their anatomical sex, while supporting their transition into society."<br />After reading a article like this, with it's mis-gendering of Autumn and how site moderator would defend the article, I find it no better than the trash media outlets that do the same thing. You will not find me supporting this site at ALL. <br />BTW, it seems that (from the comments) any trans person who has not had SRS is just a transvestite. I for one am in the middle of my transition (al be it long 8 year transition), and can't afford SRS right now. If I could get it today I would, but since financial issues cause me not to be able to get it now (if ever), I'm stuck in the middle. These same people would tell me that if you really wanted to get SRS, you find a way. Beside robbing a back or selling my body, there is not much else I can do, and I refuse to go down that road. I also have a family to support on top of all this. I still plan to go fulltime as soon as I can, even if I can't get SRS. But under there terms, I'm a transvestite. WRONG. I am a transsexual and I identify as a women, period! This is the first time I have been so disgusted by a trans site that I would refuse to support a site. <br />Unless I'm missing something ybe there mission statement should read:<br />"If you've had SRS, TS-Si is dedicated to the acceptance, medical treatment, and legal protection of individuals correcting the misalignment of their brains and their anatomical sex, while supporting their transition into society."Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472306410152298572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890042402739853351.post-80531060486128278422010-05-01T10:23:01.901-07:002010-05-01T10:23:01.901-07:00I found it a challenge to reply in polite terms.

That was quite possibly the most foetid article I've seen in a usually respectable site.<br /><br />Your reply was right on - I might have moderated the tone, made it a little more ho-falutin, but the sentiments are, if anything, less incandescent than my own.<br /><br />I better leave it at that, or I'll blow my repuatition for being calm no matter what the provocation.<br /><br />Being polite to Julie Bindel was easier!Zoe Brainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13712045376060102538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890042402739853351.post-23821750420271647962010-05-01T03:57:10.694-07:002010-05-01T03:57:10.694-07:00Don't we just? *hugs*Don't we just? *hugs*Penny Marie Sautereauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03954378927871092503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1890042402739853351.post-88926510618462723752010-05-01T03:44:22.408-07:002010-05-01T03:44:22.408-07:00I'm reminded now why I don't like going to...I'm reminded now why I don't like going to and posting on a lot of blogs... people who moderate out comments that are challenging to them and say things they don't like are people who are too insecure to generally be worth saying anything of substance to.<br /><br />Oh well...
