Being honest, accepting and non-judgmental is the way to go, but many people cannot do that and so there is pain, on both sides of the fence.

Wow so kool! (yes, I'm a 60's child) It seems Shelly b. feels the same way about Blogit as you do - here we can be ourselves, express our views, state our piece, without the fear of being judged. And OMG, if the world was only like Blogit, how much happier so many people would be!

First of all. I think it's great that you feel safe on blogit. Like I have said many times before, we are more than just "bloggers" we are family.
Thanks for bringing your post to my attention. So, you like the hot sexy gay guys, huh? 
I have a friend who feels the same. He is so open about his sexuality. Every so often he will post a photo on FB of a HOT guy. I'm always thinking...why are all the hot ones gay? 
lol
I'm glad you understand where I am coming from, but I also want you, and others, to know that I am not a hurtful person. I do not hate. I do not judge. But if I am faced with a situation I don't agree with I will voice my opinion. Of course, not to the person's face because I'm not a bitch like that. I just simply don't agree with it. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Amd I don't care what others do with their life. Unless of course they are hurting themselves. But if I am faced with a situation I will give an opinion of it. Simple.
Sorry, I would write more but I'm exhausted. it's been a busy day.

Re:
Well stated.....
I am not opposed to someone doing that to themselves....it's their right.....but I still maintain that geneticly you are still a male. You have to bombard your body with female hormones If I had a friend (not acquaintance) do that....and I did everything I could to convience them to not do it, they would still be my friend. I can rember going to see drag queens shows with friends.....thay would come out after the show and try and convience me to go home with them......my response was always, "If I was looking for a woman, why wouldn't I want the 'real' thing."
Statistically over 20% (that can afford) it change back.....
To plant a seed for a future topic.....these crazy parents that believe their child is of an opposite sex at 4 yrs old are guilty of child abuse......how can a 4 year old child "know" they are trapped in the body of the wrong sex? The kids want to please their parents....that is criminal.

wonderful post. I think there is one basic premise that binds us all together, and that is the human condition. We all want to be understood, yet very few of us ever feel 100% accepted. I wrote a post in this vain yesterday... I too feel safer while blogging... it's for very different reasons than yours, but my reasons are still true to me.
I'm a moderate and I see most things in varying shades of gray... but the willingness to allow every soul to walk the earth in their own truth feels like a basic premise. Who are we to judge if someone wants to cut off their own nose? It doesn't affect me in the least. I cannot say if they were acting more authentic before or after the nose job. Neither can you. There were a great many who used to say that being gay was a choice... just pray it away... but you know the truth. Many of those people have learned better, and when we all know better, we do better.
As I said to shelly... someone else's life decisions are not mine to agree or disagree with. Live and let live... and most of all LOVE. Words matter. Condemning someone else's life choice, no matter what that choice is, only hurts us all. When I don't understand, I pray for guidance. I try very hard not to throw stones. that's it.

I will never forget your welcoming comment to my first post lo these many years ago. Of course there weren't many on my post about Iran, but the others showed lack of comprehension or were hostile and over the years I have come to regard you very highly, and missed you when you weren't around. And when you told us you were our unforgettable Joe Love's 'Monster', it came as a very pleasant surprise that two men I liked very much were lovers!
And I am also very glad you feel 'safe' here, but to me it remains utterly deplorable that you can't feel safe anywhere and everywjhere...
