Dear Trans People

Hi everyone!

I am adding some FAQ and HELP pages, as has been requested. I think it’s a great idea, and wish I had done it sooner.

I was hoping to add a page with links to peoples blogs, who would be happy to help people with more personal questions. Or would just simply like to talk one on one…

Please, let’s stop the cycle of hate. Let’s stop the ‘we said/they said’. It’s just a nasty, self-perpetuating cycle. X people get mad because of Y and rant.

Some of us just genuinely don’t understand and never mean to cause upset. Thank you.
