JCC This is my transgender coming out thread

I just wanted to wish you--Ben--good luck. We're all counting on you.

 

You guys are awesome. I thought I'd probably get maybe 80% supportive responses and 20% trollish ones, but so far you all have exceeded my expectations. Thanks so much for your kind words. They mean a lot to me at an exciting but challenging time.

 

You are awesome. And always will be.

Wish you well

 

Ben- that's a name you'll be hearing for a long time.

Get it?!

Congratulations. "This above all- to thy own self be true"

 

Congratulations, Ben. I'm proud of you and your courage. Well done.

 

I hope you find happiness and peace as your true self, Ben

 

Nice to meet you, Ben.

 

Congratulations, Ben! I'm so happy for you in taking this huge step towards authenticity and happiness. I hope you have a positive and affirming journey. <3

Okay, but can I stick with "mod who was promoted even though he was unprepared for the job and didn't really understand the JCC culture?" Because that's what you'll always be to me.

(Okay, not really. Just trying to fulfill your 20% trollish post expectations. I am extremely flattered I made your namedrop list; I have so much respect and admiration for you. And I guess I can lay off the eternal grudgefest now. That wasn't you, it was ophelia!)

 

Happy Anniver...oh I see. I mistook this for an anniversary thread with all of the namedrops.

Also congrats on the new beginning.

 

I'm really happy for you. You've always been a great poster, and it's always nice to see nice people take control of their lives. All the best.

 

Ben, you're awesome, everything you do on here is awesome, and this thread is awesome.

And thanks for the much needed snarky response to my silly blow up on the NBF thread yesterday. I needed that.

 

Congratulations, Ben!

 

Congrats, Ben. Thanks for being an inspiration and role model.

 

Oooh and congrats on the username change now!

 

woooooooooooo



hi ben, nice thread, i dig the style choice! i'm so stoked for you, i'm excited that you get to start experiencing life without that creeping, sinking futility of dysphoria, and i've got your back when it won't let go. you got this.

 

There's a first time for everything. You should feel really special.

 

Congratulations!

 

Pleased to meet you, Ben. <3

 

Ben, I know you have been through so much, but I have never seen you happier than you are now. You are truly my favorite, the bravest and kindest person I know, and I will be there for you as you've always been there for me. You are my family and I love you.

Plus, anyone who does try to troll or mess with you here is gonna get a long-winded, verbose tongue-lashing from me, and lord knows no one wants that.

Love you, Ben.

 

OMG, you guys, you're so sweet you're going to make me cry. I only just got my provisional man card in the mail, and now they're going to revoke it.

 

^5 bro!
