My Family has been waiting 3 years for Me Too Appoligise / Appoligise for What ?


STACIELEELAH

Recommended Posts

Just Over 3 Years ago , My Family that once was always their in good times and Bad . Found Out thru my Late wifes social Media site and StacieLeelahs Connected Site , That stacieLeelah was in fact Me , My Other self , Which Never has had & doesn't want a social media site , Still does not and as far as I am concerned never Will . However when Pamela Jean was in her final months of Life . My Family and Than Most of hers , And some close Family Friends as well , All went Hostile towards Me , Why ? , Well because thru social Media my sister , who first found out who StacieLeelah was . Told My Family , They told Pamela's Family & Some of our Closest Family Friends . And to this Day , Now well over the 3 Year Plus Mark , They did discuss it with Pamela in a Negative context , Before she passed away 2 years and 5 months ago . But too this Day they still Haven't discussed it Directly with Me Yet . Sent Me a Threatening Extortion Letter with No Return address & no one signed it . Are Praying for my Supposed Lost Soul in the ST. Judes Prayer of & For Lost Souls , They are waiting for an Apology to every Member of both Sides of the Family & offended Family Friends . Accussing Me Of False Hoods lies and Deception . Why ? You maybe Asking . Well all Because I am Trans MTF , That's what my Family and some Friends , Mostly my Family . Are Waiting for me now , For over 3 years plus too A[[oligise too All of them , Because they found out , I never told them , They went Bezerk told Everyone they could . Except have never talked directly too Me yet . Pamela before she Died , Set her Family straight , And tried to explain it too my Family , Who didn't want too hear anything . But an overall apology from Me . And Refuse any attempts from Pamelas Family Now still . Unless I Apoligise too them  . I knew how they would react , Holier than thou Catholics & Far Right Conservative TED CRUZ Christians . Who think they have the right too Judge Me & All of Us . Which they DON'T  & I am not Now nor do I Plan on Apoligising  : I am Proud of my LBGT roots and Family that care about me . And I care about all of You , Thank You :

In my opinion this is probably one of the worst times of finding out.

 

Aside from many of the 'local to you' society and family issues, in times of grief people often naturally look for something to blame the taking of a good life on. They wish to vent their inner rage. I feel you may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Likely there may have still been rejection, but I think the situation may have made things far worse. To some extent there is always family rivalry involved too. Your family may be thinking, to some extent, 'why should we hear this from our son's wife and family, not himself. Why did they know first and not us!' I just think of my mother and how snappy she gets about such things.

 

With your family, they maybe deserve an apology for you hiding things, with an explanation of why's. Not an apology for who you are. You are all upset at the moment. Only you know your family, so I cannot predict, in any way, a result but in time, at least with some of the family, things should improve.

 

Good luck

Time Will Tell & We Will See , I like Most of you're Response and Appreciate it , But I am NOT Apoligising for anything at the Moment , And they took something very Private and Personal to Me & When I came Out an Who I Told was My Decision Not Theirs . And this isn't about them , Its my Life & they have choosen too basically Kick Me Out , Only because I am Transgender and feel now, I have been all of my Life : But again Thank YOU :

Most of my extended family found out because of an acquaintance who saw me filling up our car at a gas station.  I had one cousin come to the house with her girlfriend angry because she is gay and i didn't tell her first.  I also have cousins who i haven't seen for years.  I miss them as we used to share Thanksgivings and Christmas together.  At the same time i'll say that slowly we are beginning to communicate again.  I don't and can't find this their fault.  They like me are a product of a society that is only beginning to show some tolerance for diversity.  I broke the mold and wasn't "supposed" to do that.  I'm also beginning to forgive myself for years of dishonesty.  It seemed impossible to do otherwise for most of my life.  Fear and shame ruled my life.  I can only feel grateful for the freedom i've found.  Others including my relatives must live their lives.  It is difficult that they are slow or unable to find acceptance.

I think the only person I had to apologize to is my ex. While my understanding of why we got divorced had changed, the fact is she got blindsided by something I was repressing that would affect our relationship. Her reaction though, not so much.  I feel no need to apologize to anyone else.

Thank You , MarcieMarie :

Look I Didn't Tell Them , I don't Feel I did them Wrong And I Did tell My Spouse - 5 years into a 29 Year Relationship , 2 Years into our Marriage - Did she Struggle with it YES , Was she Happy , That I was Transgender MTF at First NO , But let Me tell You , After she came too Terms with it Personally & She never even left or Separated even One day or Night - Our Love Life & Our Respect for each Other was Better & Stronger - Should I have told Her During Our Dating , Yes , Should I have Told her During Our Engagement , Before We got married , Absolutely YES , Did I , No unfortunately , Did I Appoligise too Her over the Years Many times YES - My Family Tried to destroy Me Literally , My Own Brother told my Inlaws & Others , That if I wanted to be transgender , He wanted too seriously hurt me , As My Sister inlaw put it , He said I should be Dead - Quote Un Quote , They sent Me an Extortion Letter , Utah to California using the United States Mail . Sending extortion letters , As ina Letter that Demands I do certain things against my will or they will do certain things to destroy Me Personally . That is what they did & When you use the U.S. Mail Service to send an extortion / demand letter with Consquences acrossed state lines . You are Breaking a Number of Federal laws all at the same time - Anyone who thinks that I am going to appoligise too anyone just because I Am Trans and I am not sorry I am Trans , Dosen't really get or Understand what my FAMILY , Did to My Late Wife and Me , During our Darkest hours . She Pamela Jean needed My Undivided Attention , Not be dealing with Family BS -

It certainly sounds like you need to consider distancing yourself from a number of these people.  They don't contribute to your health in any way.

      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
