Dear Lisa,

I feel saddened myself to hear your story. I wish I could take it all away but we know that it is almost to be expected and dealt with. But that doesn't make it any easier.

Here you have friends that support you always, no matter what. Pound out your frustrations and hurts onto your keyboard. Try to let it go.

But overall you must be careful. There are hateful people out there who might do you harm. I know you know that but it needed to be said.

I wish you the very best and a wonderful weekend too. And my condolences for the loss of Lauren. I'll bet you would love to be able to cry on her shoulder now.

Hugs and hugs,

Emma

Dear Lisa,

Am very sorry for your bad experience. Please realize you are not alone.

Have left Facebook (FB) and Twitter, for exactly the same thing. They say you can control access to your account, but I feel that control is very limited. Really don't miss it.

Keep my posts on a tightly moderated website, such as this one. That way, I have the support without the hassle!

Yours truly,

Monica

It is ashame people have to be this why towards their fellow mankind/womankind. I truly hope the days to come do not weight heavy on you because of these people. This might be the perfect time to have some cheese, chocolate and wine while watching a good movie to erase the troubles of the day.

Hey Lisa:)

Sorry to hear that things have gotten to you today. I had one of those days not too long ago and wrote a long blog entry about it. It's definitely good to get it out. Some people just try to make themselves feel better by making others feel bad. The ones that get really mean have the biggest issues. I had one guy reply to a comment I made on youtube, telling me that he hopes that I will die soon. The sex creeps just seem to be everywhere online. That's the reason I've deleted most of my accounts on transgender social sites. You can limit who can send you messages and friend requests on Facebook, but there's no way to stop all of the unwelcome requests.

There's a lot of support out there though, try to focus on friends and our amazing community when it gets bad.

Just remember to kill them with a smile:)

It's like Taylor Swift says:

Cause the players gonna play, play, play

And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate

Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake

Shake it off, shake it off:)))

Also Lisa, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend.

Feel better soon!

Kristi

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I am feeling much better now, even though I feel totally wrong about my body. I did update my privacy settings on FB again.

I am going to need to get moving on seeing the endocrinologist and hormones. I am also going to need to update my wife. I am sure that this is going to really upset her, even though I told her in January that I was most likely going to need to do this.

Wish me blessings (or luck!)

Thank you all so very much,

Love, Lisa

Dear Lisa,

I do wish you the very best with your wife. No doubt your decision will be hard for her and therefore, for you as well. The main advice I've heard is to try to be as patient and understanding as you can be with her. After all, your gender concerns and thoughts have been with you (probably in lots of forms and worries) for most of your life. She needs time and support to process all of this.

Hugs for you both,

Emma

I am saddend at the loss of your friend. My thoughts and feelings and with you.
