Who cares. They have there board and thankfully we have ours. In my humble opinion they don't know what they are  missing out on and they have no idea of our world. Our world being open minded, inclusionary, and a journey of self exploration. Maybe its just a bit of Jealousy combined with  ignorance. To each there own. We could write a novel on this subject. Nadia from Atlanta commented best along with Angela Marie

Venomous seems a little harsh.  There were a couple of posters that were jackasses, but most seemed positive.  To tell you the truth, I was expecting much worse when I read it.

...because to me, being willing to step into the dialogue, carries the potential of benefit to every single one of us, no matter what the cost, or opinion there otherwise.

 
The vitriolic sentiment is, or can be, only what we make of it... if some amongst us hadn't spoken up, taken the risks, then none of us  could feel the benefit now of even slowly changing perspectives...

Every single time one of us is willing to step into the breach and be utterly fearlessly willing to confront, discuss, and maybe, just maybe, also *sometimes* seek better understanding through exposure, discussion, openness, kindness in the face of utter meanness, debate & argument....no matter how hardcore it may get)...is worth doing...

 
Changing perspectives and changing lives is always worth doing, if the intention is real and true good. Open the dialogue, create as many discussions as possible, no matter the cost. the benefit always far outweighs the bullcrap, I think.

 
WE cross all the lines of gender and orientation and perspectives and sexuality... permanently, effectively, and perfectly.... that is a fact and it is also the very nature of our very special existence. To me, also personally sacred, and that kind of perspective is also worth sharing.

 
If one out of 10 or 20, even to this day, depending on where you live, has never - not ever once, had knowable contact with *Any* real TS person, MTF or otherwise, then stereotypes and ignorance and rudeness and disrespectfulness can continue to thrive, and the hatred, stupidity, and misunderstanding will most assuredly continue.  

 
Therefore.... dialogue, awareness, and exposure can only be one of the most helpfully good solutions. It can benefit all of us, even here in this forum. Cross the lines. it is the TS persons' very nature to cross all the lines, all the way to the very core of our selves and our existence itself.

 
Don't bother adding commentary there ? to me, that would be insane not to, once the door had been kicked open by ignorance first, and reason, second or last.

 
The Dialogue. It will and must continue. We are all sacred and this must be both joyfully and unerringly preserved, and most definitely protected and respected.  

 
Namaste'

agreed with....You'll learn something.  

To be a transgender, You gotta have thicker skin than most
It's always good to know what others think of you...
You'll figure out who you deal with, what type of person he/she is etcetera, etc.
