Well, so much to read & I have so much to say but in my stupid smart phone, my typing gets tedious. Please bear with me. I have learned so much, & continue to learn from this site. I've lived a stealth life since my late teens as a TransSEXUAL. The term "trans", when I was younger only meant transsexual. The "born in the wrong body" thing. Now I understand it to encompass many more chosen ID's. I think this is where some confusion comes from. Bottom line, for me, is it's all about respect. I personally have problems with pronouns, but they only happen on sites like this, & once I've corrected or informed someone, it's been fine. As someone mentioned earlier, when in doubt, ask. And your profile does give the opportunity to let people know your personal wishes.
Hope I came off ok. Lol Just my .02

From my perspective I agree with Toughy and Bulldog.
I am a pre op trans man and continually get lumped into a butch category of some kind by femmes, my transgender community (men and women alike), gay men, and other people that tend to be gender binary guardians. In all my years of knowing that I am a man born to a female body did I ever encounter this till the late 90's online. I have watched this particular behavior carry over into the world we all walk in together socially. When I have this experience, it has been for many different reasons all particular to each offender and something I can never get the full understanding of because I am not them. Sometimes I correct people and sometimes I don't. It all just depends what space i am in and why I think they are doing it and sometimes continue to do it. Understand, I am talking about people that pretty much know me and know that I am a man born to a female body. Transgender has no hierarchy regardless of body modification or not, regardless of T or not, for me being born in the wrong body starts in the mind and ends in the mind. The physical transition is a plus and a privilege for some, or not, and others it will never be an option and can be a burden, or not. For me, feminine and masculine are the continuum, and genders are the constant in a giant universe of fluidity, because presentations vary sooooo much, and then sometimes they don't, creating norms and stereotypes.

Thank you....
Tonight I want to take the time to say thank you and to acknowledge how much I appreciate one of my trans brothers. So I say thank you Paphgleo for taking this guy to his first trans meeting ever and making me feel more comfortable than I thought I could be.
I was pretty much a complete stranger to you yet you were willing to be there for one of your brothers and I thank you for that. I swear I do not normally talk as much as I did tonight.

I want to take a moment to show some Trans appreciation for Nadeest. She is always there to answer a question and to show support. Whether it is for one of us old timers like myself or any new comer. She is both knowledgeable, gentle, and true.....a real lady. I for one appreciate all she does on this site and has done for this guy.

You are very welcome, and thank you for the lovely compliments. However, as to my being 'gentle', you might! want to ask my younger brothers about that. I'm fairly certain that they have a vastly different opinion, on that subject. :P
