Maybe it's just a lot to handle, orfeo, instead of something you need to take personally.

Oh, I'm sure it is a lot to handle.
I'm not taking it personally, as I'm not trans. What little insight I have into being trans mostly stems from a period of my career some years ago where I was working on trans human rights issues. I'm also not going to pretend that the gay community doesn't have its own massive issues with accepting trans people.
It just doesn't seem to me like a good thing to list this in 'disasters that have befallen our family this year'. I see nothing disastrous about one of your children finally having the courage to tell you how they've been feeling for most of their life.

He didn't say it was a disaster, just as he didn't say she "would become a gay man" -- those were your words.

I didn't invent the phrase 'gay man'. If you want to split hairs between 'living as a gay man' and 'become a gay man' then knock yourself out. Right after you tell me how many angels are dancing on this pin.
As for the rest, I am simply saying how it came across. We're on a thread about how awful 2013 was for people. The other entries for his children are about bad things. It was extremely jarring, for me, to read those entries about bad things and then read an entry about what is not, in my view a bad thing. A tough thing, yes, but it was jarring to have it tossed into the mix with major surgery.

What the FUCK do you know about the situation? "Most of their life"? How the fucking hell do you know that? Anything you have to say on the subject is utterly worthless, because you know absolutely nothing, so you and everyone else would be better off if you simply shut up.

Maybe some post-menopausal women will shriek at me for mentioning the Change of Life in the same post as major surgery.

Maybe. Depends if they think going through the change was a bad experience.
PS Fascinating verb choice, 'shriek'.

You have to go easy on ol' David. Being the original Hellhost messed him up. Also, he's old and senile. Apparently.

Go easy on me? I thought that was already happening.
Anyway, I'm not that old.

Yes, the natural progression is as follows:
1) Rough-tongued eager nOOb.
2) Charming quick-witted razor-tongued Shipmate.
3) Embittered misanthropic but hard-working Hellhost.
4) Broken soulless husk Administrator.
5) Raving loon typing with their toes because of the straightjacket while staring at their spittle-flecked monitor.
David is phase 5.

Yes, but I did the first 4 stages at the same time. Except the "hardworking" bit. And "charming"? There's no call for that sort of language around here.
ETA: Phase 5 isn't inevitable. Some Hell Hosts die before they get there.

Is it possible to just skip past phase 4? That one sounds less fun.

I don't think you'll have any choice but to skip it.

EDIT: You realise, don't you, that all the regular Shipmates have completely abandoned this thread now, and it's become the plaything of current and former Hosts and Admins.
