I'm back...

Bah, ignore John, he just doesn't seem able to grasp the concept that someone can be so different to the norm and just how important it is not to suppress who you are (I am all too familiar with the emotional problems and shame that breeds). John, if you do read this, it takes more guts to admit something like this to yourself that I think you've ever had in you, let alone take the extraordinarily hard step to approach those you love and care about with it. If you think you've experienced insecurities, unadulterated fear and a kind of melancholy hopelessness that even Wordsworth couldn't put onto paper, then trust me mate – you haven't even sighted the iceberg, let alone scraped it. And those people who don't care about Anna don't matter – life doesn't work like that; never has and never will do. In your own choice phrases: I doubt Anna could give a shit what you think of her. Now that's over with, welcome back Anna! I hope this year will be a good one - well done! :rose: I'm looking forward to that new version of ResOrg – it's one of the few adding for VS that I actually use. :)

Thanks Dave. :) I do try my best to ignore John and his bigotted comments, but at times I really do have to restrain myself from telling him what I think of his opinions! :mad: As far as the new version of ResOrg goes - once the code's done, I expect to have to take at least a couple of weeks to update the help and website. That's the real boring bit. :| Once I get that far I'm quite happy to send you an advance copy (I'd guess source is best) so you can have a sneak preview. Just let me know. :) Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

He actually looks kinda gay if you ask me. :eek:

This is getting into a real mud wrestling match. ;P I will admit he could very easily have been in The Village People, but you shouldn't go round calling people gay or lesbian purely because of how they look or act - that creates bad stereotypes and gives John something to laugh about. :rolleyes:

John, Guess what? I don't care what you think. You're bigotry is your problem, not mine. You leave me to live my life and I'll leave you to live yours, OK? I may have been born looking like a guy, but that doesn't mean I have to spend the rest of my life pretending to be one. One more thing. As far as how I look is concerned, I'm quite happy with my appearance and figure, and so it seems are most others...I've been receiving emails at work today congratulating me on how good I look, and I don't get a second glance when I go out in public. Stay out of my life and I'll stay out of yours. Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

A close friend of the family (husband of my mum's closest friend) has recently come out, and I'm finding some of the bigotted reactions of people around me very surprising (and tbh I found the entire concept a bit unreal myself, to start out) I'm glad you're comfortable at work, as he (hmm, still feels strange thinking of someone I've known all my life as a him, as a her) lectures in a university, so I imagine there could be some incredibly hurtful comments from the students. I know I was hugely reluctant to see the photos, but she does look fantastic, and more importantly, looks happy which is the most important thing, imo Oh yeah, I notice you like to Jennifer Diane Reitz's site - are you hooked on unicornjelly.com[^] too? -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

It will be difficult, because I think of you as still being male but hiding it. I would be lying and I really can't do that. I will do my best to avoid the situation. I hope you can understand.

Yet earlier you said "Sometimes its better to be quiet than to be honest about your feelings.", so while not a direct hypocrisy I think it is bordering on one. Also as I am no doubt you are aware I don't believe in idly sitting by when I disagree with something. I do try and be constructively critical though.

start page ; articles henderson is coming henderson is an opponent's worst nightmare * googlism *:rolleyes: It's hardly a Herculean task but I'm guessing you must have a religious angle. That can be the only explanation for such unwillingness to comply with someone else's wishes. Perhaps the only way out is to *always* make sure you say "Anna's" instead of "his" or "Anna" instead of "he". That way you will not by "lying" as you call it, and you will cause Anna no offence :) "The folly of man is that he dreams of what he can never achieve rather than dream of what he can."

I felt it only fair to warn everyone, so on with the show... Andy - dude - you don't even *look* like a girl. Andy, everyone at your job knows you as a guy. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that under their insulation of forced acceptance, several of your co-workers are saying "What the fuck!?". Make no mistake abut it, this WILL affect your ability to do your job, and it will affect your co-workers' ability as well. Everybody's been great? Does "being great" mean they're simply not openly disgusted with the idea, or that they honestly think you're doing the right thing? You don't need to respond, and nobody else does either, because I'm probably one of the few people here (if not the ONLY person) that would actually say what he thinks about this topic, and I'm honestly not interested in hearing from people that I have to be accepting or tolerant. ------- 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
Hmm.... lets see, one of has met Anna and one hasn't..... One of us knows her from experience and one is trying just justify their prejudice by saying everyone else has a problem... Classical dumping of responsiblity on others. Yes, I've just said what I think about this topic ;P The tigress is here :-D
