So the last week has been a little slice of hell...

Strewth Abigail,

Your man needs a good spanking to bring him into the 21st Century but unfortunately his heart might not take it, at this time.

Save it up though.

Speaking of heart, you're all heart and a sight more tolerant than I could ever be.

If I have friends that transgress my golden rule of, speak to me as a woman, or don't speak to me at all, they get a non-gentle reminder that I don't denigrate them and I don't expect them to speak down to me.

Funny how the little things in life are so much to the forefront in our minds,

The niceties of being shown due respect as the women we are, mean the world to me.

Deep down, I've never asked for anything more.

 

Good luck to your bloke on his upcoming surgery, you might like to ask his surgeon to give him a gentle tap on the head, it might jolt his brain matter and wake him up to the fact he has a beautiful woman by his side.

Bloody men, stupid creatures they can be.

A good "Oh shit!" can cover a lot of things, Abigail.  I do hope and pray hubby's surgery goes well.

This reminds me of somethings I read; "Why are all the jokes about women one liners? So men can understand them!" 

At the end of the day he's your puppy, though, and so in the long run you have something to celebrate.   Keep those you love dear, even when they pee on the floor. I so loved how you communicated that wisdom that I just had to repeat it.

Hmn...seems everyone but hubby wants to acknowledge your gender.

Forget the punchline Stefanie, I think you have been drinking too much Punch.

Why would a transwoman like Abigail be considered to be in a "gay" marriage?

Your diatribe on my recent blog is in total contradiction to your statement here but then, what you live and what you write is a total contradiction anyway.

I find your comment to Abigail very offensive.

You and her Husband would seemingly get along well.

When you create a persona, it becomes harder and harder to remember what was said in earlier times.

From the lie, is created a nightmare, it's why I always put so much emphasis on being honest on Pe.

We lived a lifetime of the lie, here on Pe, it is the perfect forum to begin letting the truth dominate our thinking and our lives.

It is highly recommended.

Hi Angie,

I've always thought that to " say what you think and think what you say," is a pretty good way of learning from others when they either agree with your opinion or contradict you with an alternative opinion.

It's interesting that you say people on this site are pretty astute.

Why doesn't their astute mind allow them to make more comment than the small  handful that do.

I've always wondered at that.

I'm a great believer in opening up the mind by discussion.

This is how we learn, but too few are open to a discourse on subjects that they must surely need to know more about.

Curious that.

And, being wrong is how we learn to get it right.

Neat balance that.

OMG Abi! Your tale here confirms that women are the stronger sex. And when it comes to the doctor "Men" are such "little boys." You are such a strong woman with love, compassion, and common sense to have handled this incident with such fortitude.---Blessings, Elynn

OK, I totally did not mean to start a little flame war there...

To clarify: Saint Suelle, He is my mate, my husband of 23 years(Although not in any legal sense, we live in South Carolina after all...). Yeah he's got some issues with my transition, not the least of which is, as he puts it "Becoming a straight guy". I can't blame him for that, but he is sticking with me and that means more than all the rest.

I rather happen to like men. Don't understand em, but I do like em. You're free not to, maybe you've had bad experiences there, I dunno. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater though, there are lots of absolutely wonderful guys out there, even if you aren't into em in that way.
