anyway, i want to make sure you guys know that i have grown a very thick skin from being me, but that hurtful comments are never nice, even from behind the anonymity of a blog posting. that's why i'm posting back. i want a dialogue, not a lynching.

so remember, just because i don't look like everyone else doesn't mean i'm strange. i'm a small businessowner, go to the gym, drive a saab, have a condo and a cleaning lady, i mean, i'm a pretty average connecticut resident. but you have no need to be afraid of me--playing poker is a game, that's all it is. life is much more than a game for me, and i hope it is for you all too.

cheers, rosa
Thank you for being a sane/rational/real person who happens to be transgendered, and responding with maturity and class to a relatively idiotic thread.

I didn't use it as a noun.
I used it as an adjective and used it in this vein:

denomination:
1. a name, esp the name of a class or a group
2. an organized group of religious congregations

I see you're an English major.

again, i continue to be surprised by how much hate and hurtful comments continue to be posted on this thread, especially from "Squibz". the fact that this person anonymously has decided to take it upon him/herself to post such degrading comments strikes me as very sad. basically, judging me to look like a "freak" means that this individual can now decide for all of us what we are supposed to look like. so, i guess this type of thinking (which, btw, is the backbone of eugenics, racism, religious and ethnic violence) is condoned on this blog, and that makes me sad.

as i have already said, at least while the quantity of the posts have declined in terms of people taking mean-spirited cheap shots at how i look, the depth of the vileness and hatred is growing. i would remind everyone on here that posts like the one i have mentioned are extremely painful to me and upset me emotionally. why would anyone out there want to do that to me? seriously? i have done nothing wrong except live my life and i am being crucified for being courageous and being myself. and i suppose if i look like a freak, then so do all the other trannies, and so do any non-traditionally-gendered or non-conforming individuals? i mean seriously, have you ever been to an art museum? have you ever taken a hike and seen the plethora of the Creation? how can anyone be taken seriously making such horrendous comments about me?

i truly hope that the people who really care about this blog will self-police it so that the hurtful comments stop. i will not stop posting on this thread because someone intentionally inflicts emotional harm on me, because i am not just standing up for me but am taking a stand for my community as a whole. so, stay ignorant, stay judgmental, and tear me apart if it makes you feel better about yourself, but know that giving me that power over you is antipodal to the intention of the post.

i am not here for your attention, but now that i have it, i'm not going to degrade myself and debase myself by continuing to respond to such hurtful comments. i am rightfully defensive. it is not up to anyone on this blog to police who is a female and who is not. it is not up to anyone on this blog to proselytize about what clothing or hairstyles or breast sizes, shapes, and amounts of coverage are appropriate for females. and it is not up to anyone on this blog to seek to traumatize me without cause--go through all my posts. if you can find something i've said that bothers you and makes you upset, or is attacking anyone else anywhere, please bring it to my attention and we'll talk about it.

otherwise, please stop trying to hurt me.

fwiw Rosa, if I ever see you at FW or MS I'll now make it a point to say hello

Try not to take anything on here to heart. Easier said than done, I know.
02-10-2010 , 01:19 PM
Rosa, this isn't "your" blog. You have said a few times that you weren't coming back. Please be a man of your word.

Defiantly time to man up and make a decision.
02-10-2010 , 02:49 PM
i actually posted that notion of ceasing posting here one time, and after speaking to someone else on this blog in person, she told me i should not stop posting simply because people may say ignorant and hurtful things. so, i changed my mind on the advice of a friend and have been posting ever since. i am only responding to you guys, so if you want me to stop writing, i guess all you have to do is stop posting things that require my response.



ps--bronx bomber, i am not so naive as to think this isn't "my blog," however, this thread is definitely centered around me as an individual, and i have been personally attacked. so...

and please stop calling me "man" or "dude" etc. if you need to refer to me colloquially, you can try "honey" or "darling" or "sweetheart," thanks~~

Hey rosa,
Please dont take this question the wrong way because I am on your side in this discussion. But have you ever been genetically tested? Meaning genetic gender. Now I havent read all the pages, but I would assume that you are not xx or xy, but a variant of the two.
02-10-2010 , 03:07 PM
Rosa, It was nice meeting you yesterday. Don't let these immature idiots bug ya. They have nothing better to do than flame people every chance they get. Sorry you got KO'd in the tourney, I lasted another hour or so.<meh> Hope you had a good time. I had a lot of fun.

I have done exactly this in post #344, please respond.

Be aware, I have absolutely no problem with you being transgender and I may come off a bit harsh, but it's your attitude I have a problem with, not the way you look and what you are.

Also, please be aware the phrase 'freak and a very weird dude' is 2+2 lingo from a truly awesome post by Gobbo, and should not be taking literally in the sense I am still calling you a 'dude'(edit: or a freak or weird, for that matter). I think comparing you to Gobbo is very effective and Gobbo's attitude can(and should) be a true example to you. He may not be so controversely different from what is regarded 'normal' in society as you are, but both of you look strange and are ridiculed because of this on this forum. Both of you probably had pretty rough childhoods because of different issues; I am in no position to judge what is better/worse. I just think that to this forum you are in very alike positions regarding your looks. Gobbo still comes up in every photoshop thread on here and just has a laugh about it.

For reference; this is his epic thread:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/54...rd-dude-52809/

I imagine mister Lederer might say to you:

The guy's a freak and a very weird dude. He is also a she. I think we should stay away.
I hope someday, in the near future perhaps, you'll get the confidence to see the humor in all of this. Until that day, I hope you find the strength to continue. I truly am not out to hurt you. I'm just trying to let you see things in a different perspective.

All of the people that are going overboard and telling her to GTFO are idiots. since when does someone not have the right to defend themself when being attacked publicly? even if it is by a bunch of idiots with no spine from behind a computer screen. it was all regular NVG but now its pretty personal and she has a right to defend herself.

No i did not, they were all tl;dr

also learn to quote the big lebowski properly.

Rofl, did you even read what I wrote? (hint: it's not what I quoted). I was actually kind of sympathetic to you before you randomly got defensive and singled me out for picking on you, when I stated that I was sympathetic to you and think that this is a tragic episode. So...

1) Learn to read

2) You obviously have self esteem issues, as there's no way in hell that anyone who is truly comfortable with themselves would keep coming back to this thread to be the centre of attention regardless of how negative that attention might be. In fact, you're so set on playing the victim, that you don't even know who is trolling you and who is sympathetic. Do yourself a favour and stop posting in this thread.
