Pandora's box...

Ok I know I promised this awhile ago and I did write this blog already but it failed to publish and is currently floating around somewhere in never-never land. Maybe it might be better off there, but I have to say what I have to say, even if I piss some folks off in the process.

Ok flashback to a few years ago. There was a big stink out there all about one Josef Kirchner aka the regrettable tranny. Josef had found a "cure" for transexualism and was condemning us for wanting to go through the surgery and/or supporting surgery. You see he had transitioned early in life, and found after awhile it was a big mistake. Now unfortunately at the time he wasn't too pleasant to most trannies, he was pissed, which I guess I can't blame him on. He was however willing to talk.

I started to send him emails, and our conversations were hostile at first, which was partially my fault. I was new to transition and thought I was hot shit and knew everything and thought I could talk some sense into him. Well a funny thing happened though, we started to agree on stuff to a point. I found a connection with the monster everyone else saw. We both thought that changes needed to happen to the system for us. Of course my changes were a bit less drastic than his gasoline and torch approach. Regardless over time our emails got less hostile and I found an ok place with him. Even from the beginning I felt such pain for what he was going through and over time didn't pay much attention to the venomous words he was using.

Well fast forward to today and Josef has done what he can to reverse some of the stuff he had done and is living as much of man as he can. Along the way though he learned he was wrong about the curing part. He realized he was brainwashed by a manipulative bunch of folks who got inside his head and made him think that we had done all this to him. Through a bunch of pain he has apologized and tried to reach out to our group but to little avail. Which I find horrible.

We have all been through a great deal and this poor soul has been through double if not more. He was used by zealots who's only agenda is to destroy our kind and was put through hell. I know he made some very public mistakes and said some hurtful stuff, but who reading this isn't human? I'm not saying to give the guy a parade or anything, but a little compassion wouldn't hurt. If we can't be open and accepting to someone in our own community how can we expect others not in our community to do so?

Ok I've said my peace, and how I feel on his story. If you'd like to hear about it in his own words and see the underlying reasons that I don't feel is my place to share just google his name and find his site. It's been a long time since I've had to add a link to a post not to mention I don't want to have folks just clicking to slam the guy.

Lets leave mistakes of the past live there and try to live for less mistakes ahead of us.

Love to ALL, take care....
