A word of thanks
-
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone at CP who's been so supportive of me over the last year. I know there were a couple of people who were sceptical about me at the outset (I've even been accused of being that worm B**l S****o a couple of times! :omg: ) but that aside the reaction I've had (both in forum messages and emails) has been heartwarming. :rose: I'm now only two months away from changing role publicly, and to be honest I'm getting very tired of hiding who I am. I feel it's time to let you know me a bit better than you can through just the little bit of me you see in the forums. Before doing so I should say that I'm not completely "out" at work yet (although my immediate colleagues and the company are aware of the situation) so I would ask for discretion. Once the formal announcement is made at work (which I expect to happen sometime in December), I'll close off this account and switch back to my other one (renamed of course!). I'll also update my articles to change the name on them. The whole story of who I am and how I came to be in this position is on my website - www.annasplace.me.uk[^]. If you have a look I hope you find it interesting. I'm glad to call you all my friends. :love: Anna :rose: "Be yourself - not what others think you should be"
- Marcia GraeschYour welcome. Seems you have a had tough couple of years. From your web-site I see you were asked not to attend your Church and yet it seems it was the Church that was the catalyst that has now brought you to this current situation. I do hope some of the other parishioners are still in contact with you and that you have found other ways of expressing your faith. Shaun PS I agree about Basingstoke.

- Marcia GraeschYa know, I like to think of myself as a fairly understanding live-and-let-live kinda guy where this stuff is concerned, but I honestly think you would have been better off not mentioning your mental problems here. Just because some nitwit gave it a name (Gender Dysphoria?) does NOT mean the condition really exists, nor does it mean we should just accept it. If you want to be a girl, fine, be one, but coming in here and expecting sympathy, understanding, and acceptance from the bulk of the audience after saying you're a guy that wants to be a girl is pure bullshit, and I for one don't want to hear about it. I'm not sure how many people agree with my outlook, but I'm sure there are a few. I don't want to know who you were (ad I really do give a flying donkey f**k either), and frankly people like you creap me out - you're as bad as fundamentalist religious fanatics. Your "coming out" messages are precisely the kind of bullshit that gets posted here that does NOT belong and that I hate to see, and I will continue to visciously lash out and verbally viscerate anyone that does so. Now, before anyone gets on their freakin high-horse, remember one thing - I'm not in the mood to debate with whiny, sniveling little Barbies who think I'm being too harsh or downright rude.

Thanks Shaun. :) It has been hard (and arguably the worst isn't over yet), but all in all I'm glad it's all on the way to being sorted out now. I'm not in regular contact with anyone from my old church, though I do bump into people from time to time and they've been fine so far. I'm glad to say I've found a new church now (Anglican lol) and things are much more positive. :) Shaun Wilde wrote: PS I agree about Basingstoke. I'm glad I'm not the only one!

"In Anna's situation"? It's nobody's fault but "Anna's". He did NOT have to announce what was happening, and he (and the rest of us) would have been a lot better off without doing so. He brought it on himself. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends

I'm never going to be in "Anna's" situation so I'm not worried about it. He/She can live however he/she wants, I just don't think this is the place to talk about it. Do you really think it necessary to "come out" in the CP Lounge?

He's saying that despite your sig preaching love and tolerance, you seem to be quite willing to make the occasional exception.

His sig says that JESUS CHRIST is love, not Paul Selormey. Not hypocrisy here.

You will tolerate abberant behavior, but not one man's opinion. Who's the idiot?

Paul Selormey wrote: Please can you explain what you mean? Well I was going to reply the same as Howes so maybe my explanation is the same: You profess that Jesus Christ is love, and that that message should be spread. By that I assume you are a follower and a practicer of JC's message. Yet you refuse the friendship of Anna almost to the point of banishment, which seems to me to be very hypocritical. I was also going to ask you: Is what Anna is going through a "sin" or wrong according to your beliefs?
