Oh don't worry about those two. It isn't your fault. I have to deal with idiots like those two every day of my life. Most of which seem to come from the lesbian community and who hate ftms. :( I get more respect as a man from the religious fundamentalists who surround me. I understand how we can be "weird" if you aren't used to us. I'm sure I take my knowledge about ftm culture for granted.
All that really matters is that I try to educate one person at a time. If I can get you closer to understanding, then... well.. my work is done. It's my duty as an anthropologist or what still passes for one.
Maybe if more people were aware of trans issues, well maybe then things will be better for everyone involved. *sigh*
By the way, did you see that one of the two people said none of my opinions on anything mattered because I'm trans and thus had a diseased mind? I'm so glad I invested so much time as a scientist for my findings to be inaccurate. She ended by talking about transsexual vampires and if they would die because they are in love with themselves or if they would die when the sun turned into a red giant?
I think she forgets that not long ago homosexuality was considered only to be the product of diseased minds. (Unfortunately I think a few people still think such things!) What is disturbing is that in some cases a sex change was performed as treatment. How oddly ironic that transsexuality goes from cure to disease.
I have so much work left to do. Thank you for your well wishes!
I'm sorry to say that I'm unsurprised although I didn't go back to the thread after my intial responses. I think my last visit there was after my post thanking you for the site recommendation.
I knew that whatever was going on was bad, and was confirmed in that opinion when I got a post from Dirt telling me to "suck [her] cock". Typcial of her stupidity and ignorance.
I have to wonder, how old is Dirt? The last female bodied person I heard say something like that was a 10 year old from my 5th grade class.
Now other than ignorance, to me her asking you to suck her cock says quite a bit about her. Perhaps she is a self-hating transgendered person of either type? Or a cisgendered individual with penis envy? Either way could explain her attitude towards transfolks.
I'm not a fan or Dirt of Dikiea because of their intolerance, and stopped interacting with them years ago.
I'm sorry that my genuine confusion and interest has caused that mess to happen.

Wish me luck in educating the world.

Oh well! I can't do much with her.
