I can promise you that I've made some real enemies here over the last weeks simply because I don't buy into all that trans*minimalizing crap.
And when the trans*women themselves start to attack me for what I consider quite reasonable and learned approaches to what a social approach to transsexuality should be, then I too wonder what I'm doing here.
The mix of ppl is changing here - less educated and more militant folks with particular agendas are entering, apparently. Unfortunately I've not from a single one of them met any opinions that I could relate to as particularily trans*realistic.
So maybe it's time to "pull our pants up" (no pun intended) and in my case to stop worrying so much what's going on at a particular forum that's clearly changing focus and habitus and in stead move back into the real life which in my case is luckily and abundantly peopled by the most amazing trans*women in the world.
Our "ancient" views are hardly gonna be missed here any more... ;-)

Not sure what to say. I think your participation is quite valuable and you have a perspective that is lacking on many sites where guys like you talk about gals like me.
