I am glad you got some answers Rycharde. I am sorry also, for being so inadequate at offering support, and just like you I make mistakes. You will see, in 'Misunderstandings', that I am bit pissed off at the way you talked to Miriam in your thread 'Just Stumbled In'. I had not read it all until tonight, and boy did it make me mad.
All of us have many things in common, and all of us alike have our good and bad days. You are under pressure right now. I understand that. I have to tell you though that you have Miriam all wrong. She is just being herself. She was born female, and being female is all she knows. That should be good enough for you though really.
It really upset me, the way you just assumed that Miriam is about conformity to the binary, as if she is some sort of sell out or something. Those who have had to make hard choices, and had to work to find their way, are by no means superior. Miriam has had to confront the very same sort of ignorant prejudice that all the rest of us have had to deal with, and she has helped a lot of people along the way. She deserves your respect and understanding. You cannot justly ask for what you are unwilling yourself to give.
We just can't divide up by little groups, each smugly standing aloof from the other, well not if we wish to survive anyway.
I am glad you got some anwers, and I truly do hope that you get what you need.
Best of luck, and peace to you.
