Oh, no, please don't think for a second that you upset me or hurt my feelings and I don't sense that you were patronizing at all : )
You make many excellent points in your reply. Outstanding would be a better word : )
- "I just get reactive depression: if someone calls me out or if I've confided in them, they turn round and call me a faggot."
Oh, if you want to see the 'complete bitch' in me just call one of my friends a faggot in the derogatory way. The claws will come out (Usually by having one of my big male friends take care of it, hehehehe). Being called Faggot in a teasing way is totally different. I so very much know what you are talking about.
- "My very pretty friend Emma who is also mtf, was at a party where her 'friends' outed her to complete strangers. Nice. She was really upset by that but I was just plain angry when I heard."
That is horrible. I'm so very sorry to hear that.
You know what my pillar is? If a friend decides to no longer be your friend because you 'come out' they weren't your friend in the first place and they are not the kind of person anyone would want to be friends with. If they are bigoted towards you being who you are who else are they bigoted towards? Minorities? (which is a disgusting and revolting, let alone disrespectful and completely absurd term) Women? Different religious points of view? People with freckles? Those who prefer pancakes over waffles? These people are empty vessels. You are not : )
- "So I think it helps people who read the thread that, if they are depressed, or angry or upset in whatever way, can see that they are people here who are sympathetic and empathetic to their needs and emotions."
I couldn't agree more. And you wrote that so perfectly. (HUG)
The only thing I am pissed about is I don't know how to give you a rose back. I sooooo want that icon thingie, hehehe : )
