To Mommy (Wendy) & Prisca

to wendy & prisca,.

you badly misjudged both my intentions and what i wrote.

isnt that exactly what ive been saying all along and the reason that i posted in the first place?

I don't know you well enough to have a strong opinion of you one way or the other, and I know your post wasn't addressed to me. I think you're an okay guy, though, and certainly not the root of all sexism. And I think I do know you well enough to say this much: The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

I can tell you're trying to make things better, but the more you go on about this issue, the worse things will get. Not everyone you meet will like, support, accept, agree with or even want or try understand you. It's a fact of life. So, why not just cut your losses and move on to something else?

Celebrate with me today

today, april 20th, is the fourth anniversary of a very special day in my life.. the anniversary of my rebirth.. this rebirth was not a religious experience, but it was something totally pure, amazing and healing.. it had nothing at all to do with the society, or rather, of freeing myself from it.

it was however, a giant first step in that direction.. today is the fourth anniversary of the day i got letter that changed everything.

the words on the pages were alive, and magical: they released me from my old life and for the first time.

Sunchild

Aww, Es, that's so wonderful! You and your hubby are so lucky to have found each other, and to share such love between you. Congratulations to you both on your special day.

Women are COWS!

when a girl reaches the age of puberty or physical maturity, her.

body has developed in the matter of sex more than in the mind.. young folks like to be together, first in groups, later in twos.. if they have not been instructed by their parents in regard to the.

permitted, because the female is not in physical condition to breed.. the bull seems to understand this and keeps in his own place.

Dedalus,

My mom was wondering how the bovine metaphor would apply to lesbians ... guess we'll have to wait for another brilliant nature analogy for that one!

<snicker> Y'know, before I stepped in right in a big, steaming pile of The Truth, I, like many 16-year-old girls, had a boyfriend. He was sweet, good-looking, charming and a wonderful friend, and he was DEFINITELY interested in me in every sense of the word. Interestingly enough, we never went past kissing. I just never wanted to; I thought it was because, as much as I liked him, he just wasn't "The One."

Before the boyfriend was some guy I'd known before who I made out with in a shopping mall. (He was good-looking, I guess; he looked like a guy who most girls would find attractive.) Anyway, he liked it; I felt absolutely nothing, even though plenty of other girls had told me it was fun. As with the boyfriend, I assumed that it didn't feel right because he wasn't The One.

Many years later, I had a best friend -- a girl. One day, she kissed me, and I swear that I saw fireworks and heard the sound of violins. I FINALLY knew what all the fuss was about, and to be honest, it took everything both of us had to keep our clothes on through the end of the day. Even though we're just friends again and I don't think we're in love, it's still all but impossible for us not to steal a kiss now and then.

Since I'm pretty sure that this has absolutely nothing to do with making babies, I'm every bit as curious as your mother is!

belly up to the bar, guys and gals

by unanswered in

with all the confrontation/negativity on the board these last few weeks, maybe we all need to sit back and have a drink, or a cup of tea or coffee, if alcohol's not for you.. seriously, i'm not trying to pretend that i haven't gotten caught up in the negativity at times, or trivialize important issues/feelings, but things haven't been as fun, lately.

i've noticed a change even in the short time i've been posting.

i didn't start this topic to point fingers or to act like my opinion is somehow special, but wouldn't it be nice for all of us to see an increase in civility?.

Sunchild

Unanswered, I'd like to thank you for posting this, too. I've been thinking along the same lines.

I know emotions can run high in a place like this, and I know that new arrivals can sometimes make a... "less than favorable" first impression. But I don't quite see the point of verbally bludgeoning people first and asking questions later.

Oh, and as long as I'm here, I'll have a Shirley Temple.

The Long Goodbye......

by hillary_step in

after a transatlantic discussion with my wife we have both reached the conclusion that we will not be posting to this board again.

though we see the board as serving a useful purpose for some, it does not at present suit the path that we have chosen to walk to extract ourselves from the wts.. this board is in an invaluable place for those of you who have recently left the wts and need a place to stretch your wings and share you hurt and pain.

but once we learn to fly, it seems important that we should leave the nest as quickly as possible, lest we become caught in a vacuum between the wts and real life.

Sunchild

HS, I'm sorry you feel you have to leave, though I understand your reasons. And truth be told, I DON'T understand why some members gave you such a hostile welcome. No, I don't agree with every single word you've said (that would be rare indeed), but I don't see anything disagreeable about the way you've presented your views. Unless I missed something, you haven't yelled at anyone or called anyone names, or even been disrespectful. ::scratches her head:: Must be something in the water.

Well, in any case, goodbye and good luck!

Winston, NoJW, Esmerelda, Uncanny, Prisca, Thinkers Wife (eek, I hope I didn't leave anyone out!)... thank you all so much for your encouragement, and thank you for sharing your own stories. Huggles for all of you, and it's nice to see a few more familiar names.

NoJW, I hope you're doing better now. If you've posted an update, I'm sorry I haven't seen it. ^^;

Es, an extra-special {{{HUG}}} for you, just for being your caring, wonderful self. You were a ray of light and inspiration on H2O, and you're still one now. Also, my heart goes out to your brother.

In an effort to conserve board space....

Larc: Thanks. Life looks pretty good right now, so I just figure there's not much point in dwelling on the stuff I can't change. Much more fun to worry about other things, like where in my new room my collection of Harry Potter stuff should go.

Francoise: {{{{Francoise}}}} Sometimes -- probably most of the time -- your ownly hope is to be the one who does the changing. The people who hurt you rarely do. And of course I'll let everyone know how things turn out. Believe it or not, though, I'm not even angry at my father anymore. All I have left for him is pity, since he'll never understand exactly what he's done, especially to himself.

COMF: Awwww! That's so sweet. Thank you.

Mommy: That's a wonderful poem, and thank you for your good wishes. I also read your post in the "I'm disgusted with all of you" thread, some of the things that you've been through. I just had to say that you're every bit as tough and brave as you are sweet and adorable, maybe even moreso. You keep on smiling, too. You've earned it.

It's a really nasty, racist, insulting name for black people. I'd rather not get into it.
