[The First Aria]

ok, you`ve kinda lost me a bit here, as there`s nothing you`ve said that I`d really disagree with, and I did say: "despite what some would have you beleive, there really Are differences between men and women" xx

and I`v not found ANY hostility from my friends male or female, and nothing but Complete acceptance from all my new female friends (mostly other school moms). maybe I just dropped lucky?
and as a Transsexual myself, i don`t think lesser of anyone unless they demonstarte otherwise, I`m bit like a puppy dog in that resepct `everybodies friend`

I'm am speaking as different groups as a whole.  If you have a lesbian friend, she will probably accept you in relative short order, same with gays, and full on transexualds.  BUT, as mentioned earlier, I believe on this thread, that many so called "Transexual" boards do everything possible to shut us Transgenders down.  It seems to me that quite a few here think that the LGBT Community is one big happy family, or a least a brother/sisterhood.   IT IS NOT, sorry to say...

An African-American Gay has a little easier time of being accepted by society as a whole, than a Anglo-White Male being a Transgender.  Those of us who have been lucky to carve a niche for ourselves are indeed the exception, rather than the rule.  And that is indeed troubling and sad.
