Have been living common law since '02 and will probably marry for the 4th and hopefully last time later this summer. I made sure to take this last one for a long term test ride before I committed to yet another marriage. The good news is that I am still best friends with my last two husbands and they are good friends with my soon to be fourth. There is a lot more to me than just that, but that should give you a bit of an idea.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02696670919817140802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-68316924433503726162010-06-05T23:47:40.343-04:002010-06-05T23:47:40.343-04:00@ Anne
Hello Anne! Thanks for your comment, and w...@ Anne<br /><br />Hello Anne! Thanks for your comment, and welcome to Blogger! I would like to make a suggestion, if I may. Please make your profile visible to your readers. No offense dear, but it's hard to take comments of an anonymous poster seriously. You don't have to reveal any personal information, or even post a picture of yourself, but a little background information to give us some idea of who we are talking to, would be appreciated. :-)<br /><br />Melissa XXMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600684740584460891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-84578255624576012302010-06-05T19:18:04.069-04:002010-06-05T19:18:04.069-04:00Melissa, Veronique and Lisa.
As you have probably...Melissa, Veronique and Lisa.<br /><br />As you have probably noticed, I have become a bit of a nudge around here offering unsolicited comments fast and loose. I guess that is just a characteristic of a kid with a new toy. As you are most likely now aware, I am very new to this "bloggosphere" but see it as a wondrous forum for the sharing of ideas and perspectives.<br />I have learned volumns in just a few months and still consider myself a total neophyte in many ways. I see tremendous wisdom and strength in your writings and hope to offer my own experiences for your benefit as well as learn from yours.<br /><br />The point you have all made that has prompted my response is the lack of real UNBIASED information on this most complex collection of different yet seemingly related conditions. I remember when I first stepped into this "TG world", it took me months just to become familiar with the new "language", which is still being contentiously debated, even as we speak. <br /><br />So, just wanted to say hello, intruduce myself a bit and ask for your continuing forbearanceAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02696670919817140802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-50384825189573667082010-06-05T18:57:19.233-04:002010-06-05T18:57:19.233-04:00Your group president was there only a month after ...Your group president was there only a month after surgery! I'm impressed. And to think it was only a few years before that she was paralyzed with fear. Also impressive that she came so far so quickly!<br /><br />One reason I am keeping my Second Life support group going is that there are trans people everywhere, not only in and near large cities. It would be better to have in-person groups. At least that's coming along slowly. We're still just at the beginning of an enlightenment when it comes to trans issues. I hope it doesn't take too much longer before more and better help is available to those who need it.<br /><br />Very cool about that woman's husband. :)Véro Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895169022031921712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-25605074556088378742010-06-05T18:28:50.151-04:002010-06-05T18:28:50.151-04:00It really does sound like a lovely suppport group ...It really does sound like a lovely suppport group that you attend.<br />I am glad you enjoyed it.<br />xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-27175464426911587852010-06-05T15:30:15.488-04:002010-06-05T15:30:15.488-04:00Sounds like you had a lovely time, Melissa.

That's why Kay and I started a PFLAG group here for trans, but It seems to have a larger gay participation. Actually there is a Trans group that meets in Tallahassee as well as a new PFLAG group, who is celebrating their first anniversary.<br /><br />Things are improving for all.<br />Peace,<br />SarahKay & Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244257765709660605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791633210661845991.post-32049498358064686392010-06-05T05:52:46.819-04:002010-06-05T05:52:46.819-04:00You are so right Melissa, it is an absolute crime ...You are so right Melissa, it is an absolute crime how little things had changed until only a few years ago. It had to wait for the internet. That highly touted medium, television, with it's potential to change the world, quickly degenerated into a better way to sell product... "News" became sensationalized...I shouldn't get started. This is just a comment after all. <br /><br />Maybe we will live to see a world with less fear, and more caring. We can hope.<br /><br />Your experiences with support sound very hopeful for someone living in the backwoods. Thanks for sending it out for us!Hallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847654451426257182noreply@blogger.com
