Thank you, you speak from experience and I appreciate that immensely.  I have done a lot of work in the last few years with self acceptance, and that has helped me to begin to embrace Nicole as an integral part of my life.  I just recently experienced some of my peers talking not so positively on the “trans” community. I let them have their space, as I am big on not being self rightous.  It did get under my skin a little, and I was starting to feel defensive, but knew it was not the right time to “come out” to this particular set of individuals.  Anyways, those are the types of areas I would like to have the commonality of the community to discuss such issues.  Thank you again, –Nicole 🙂
