Someone went through and downvoted all my comments. Like way way back, after my letter to you all suggesting ways to help. Fuck your ex, seriously, what they did is awful. But I'm nothing like them and as it turns out nothing like many of you either. How I feel may not be anyone else's reality, but I should be able to express it. I should of course also accept the consequences for misunderstandings I cause and I have. I'm done. I'm copying my journals and fucking off. It's been mostly nice so no regrets. We're never all going to get along. I'm really sorry I reminded you of your ex though, that's fallen way below your expectations and I wish I could take that back somehow, but I can't. ciao bella and all the very best with your hunting for work and life in general.

You remind me of my ex because you talk past all of our points, argue with a strawman, and assume we are all bigoted dicks. We just don't like being attacked for no fucking reason.

You talk about these rights like we aren't allies, or don't support you, and that you must convince us your cause is the only cause to support.

We are already on your side, you were preaching to the choir. You get upvoted to the point that ONE downvote per post means less than nothing. But you have one hater, and have discovered that being Trans doesn't inherently and automatically make you a good person. You martyred yourself, we didn't and are not pushing you out of here. You are making that decision.

If you don't want to read what we wrote, and have some introspection about your behaviour and how you treat us, then go. I, personally, have been nothing but supportive of you. I have seen other DTers be nothing but the same. You threw that in our faces and expect us to grovel at your feet for your forgiveness.

I upset at this whole fiasco, because I believe in you and your journey. I wish you well, Hongo, I hope you find happiness and peace.
