    Thankyou for all the comments on my recent blog and debbie i have showered lol

     

    having spoke to my friend again i just feel this needed to be blogged xxx

     

    "It would seem that the general opinion of the majority of users on this site is that as soon as a girl undergoes GRS she forgets her roots and friends and walks away from her past and friends and in some cases that is true.

     

    However, it is unfair to paint all girls with the same brush just as it’s unfair for everyone to think that all the girls on here whether TV or TS are all cock hungry and only here for sex, which as we all know is certainly not the case.

     

    In the case of my friend who has just left, she has regularly posted about what she does and has commented on other posts by way of advice to girls looking to “come out” to loved ones or to those starting out on the journey to full transition.

     

    She has many TV and TS (both M to F and F to M) friends across the length and breadth of the UK who she keeps in touch with online and meets regularly.

     

    She mentors TV girls and helps to encourage them to make that extra effort as well as inviting them to club nights to get them out the door and meeting people.

     

    She also mentors TS girls to help them in the early stages of transition, whether it is taking them out shopping, for lunch or a coffee, clubs and next week is going to her local gender clinic as support for a new girl having her first appointment with the psychiatrists.

     

    She is an advocate for Equal Rights having in the past been a Liaison Officer with her local police force, a role that came out of her having worked with the Equality and Human Rights Commission post surgery until she started proceedings against them for discrimination (she won her case).

     

    In her role as a Liaison Officer with the Police, she would be called at all hours of the day and night to attend incidents if a Trans girl was attacked, to ensure that all protocols were observed and the girl was treated with respect by all concerned and that she received the support needed at the time during and after the incident.

     

    OK, she doesn’t go to Lacy ladies, or Sparkle or even her local Pride events (which she used to help organize) but that doesn’t make her any less of a Trans Girl than any other person on this site just because she is a Post Op. She is still actively involved in support work but prefers to do it quietly rather than standing on some kind of political soap box which people seem to want to do in here.

     

    What we have lost here, in my opinion is the type of girl that sites such as this need after all at one time this girl thought she was a TV, but after being assessed and coming to terms with who she was, it turned out she was actually TS and now that she is Post Op she is a lot happier than she has ever been at any time in her life and has so much invaluable experience and advice to offer those coming along behind.

     

    She is gone now though, due to the attitude of people on here and that for me is the saddest part of it all"

  • Melanie Bowman Yes this was interesting to read. Yes we all need to stick together and help each other.
  • Peter Oram For one I am glad that you have such a great friend Amy, and can understand why she may have moved on so to speak. I joined this site, not to get laid, but to make friends and interact in a non-physical, non-sexual (90% of the time) way on a great social...  more
  • Annemarie Jackson perfectly said, there is enough discrimination out there levelled at us. We need to support one another what ever our level of dressing or transition xxx
