GenderLife Forum: The Information Exchange

I stick to only one forum, so you all can enjoy my 19,000+ posts in one place instead of looking for them all over the net.

I try to stick to this forum alone as well. But I started of on a Belgian forums before and have all my diaries there. I want to get rid of them but somehow my past got tangled up with the people's past on that forum.

I like the fact that there are only transsexuals here. On the other forum there are also transgendered people and sometimes I cannot relate to transgendered people (yeah yeah I know technically I'm transgender as well, I just don't feel it that way.)

Thanks for the warning!
I also spend what web-time I allocate to myself at genderlife. I've read some of the other websites, but have found this one too contain most all the info I needed to help in my transition. One thing since I transitioned I haven't been wrapped up in my computer like I had been since I bought my first computer in 84 up to 2006. I really got a life when I transitioned and found that what time I spend online I do it to better myself in my transition and the rest of the time I'm in the real world. Thanks Callie you and the other ladies have been absolute Angel's and I don't know what I would have done without genderlife. I have tried to keep things positive and informative as much I could because I would like to see all of us going through such a great metamorphosis that the rest of our new lives are that of ease and acceptance.
Bless all of you!

If I can add one last thing to illustrate the mentality of what that place has become...

Last February I was attacked online there by two individuals for the crime of showing them happy photos of happy people celebrating a happy event, a gathering in Montreal for two rounds of SRS. This pair was supposedly permanently banned. Upon my banning, they were immediately invited back. If that's not a deliberate slap in the face, I don't know what it.

Once again, I would urge anyone and everyone to stay the hell away from Beginning Life. The place is not supportive at all.

Whatever are you doing in Norway (Loc: Børfjord, Norway)? Is that a temporary assignment? I just noticed your location change.

As to other forums (and specifically beginning life) I follow the rule that what goes around comes around so I try to avoid trashing any site just because I may feel it treated me poorly. I mean who knows, I may need to spend time on other sites if I can just annoy Kara enough to really draw her wrath.

Banning is one thing...I can deal with that, just as long as they have a halfway decent reason for it. But this slap in the face made it personal. I will never have anything to do with that place or anyone within it ever again, and I'll steer anyone well away from it from now on. Safe and supportive, sure...just as long as you're part of the Clique.

Just out of curiosity and I hope without offending you why were you banned? You say the slap in the face after you were banned was allowing 2 people back on the site but what did you do specifically that led to being banned?

Or at the bottom of a deep icy ravine filled with ocean water?

Go reread my OP above.
