Again, you are making assumptions. This was simply used as an example. It feels like you are picking out key words and dissecting them. This is about relationships and the friendships we have forged and how we navigate them.

Interesting based on this example the OP gave, we heard from butches as well. I wonder why they felt okay to respond? - This question asked based on your reaction to the example.

I responded as I read the example given by the OP as just that an example and how it may have related to her, I then looked at how I would relate to the actual question and adjusted it to fit my status. I guess I assumed everyone would do the same, but then I out of everyone should know, never assume because always someone will prove you wrong.

Yet, you chose to dissect that one.

And with that said... Back to the OP question. I think this has the opportunity to be a really healthy dialogue. I am interested in learning more about the relationships we have with others and how others navigate them. I loved reading Dreamer's words to this question. I already knew the reasoning behind much of it, but it was nice to see it here. I think whenever we are given the opportunity to express ourselves in an open forum and share our experiences, we learn about one another.

We are talking about friendships and in the process... Who knows, a few new friendships might evolve.

Love this topic!!!

Indeed, because that one purportedly addressed me AS it excluded me. But, I agree. Back to the topic.
