Post Sparkle blues, I suppose you might call it. Lately I've been feeling a bit down, questioning where I'm going with my life. I tend to do this every once in a while.
Sparkle was so much fun, to let myself be more the person I'd like to be when not working. It gave me such a high. I guess it was always going to be how bad the low would be.
One of the forums I occasionally post on seemed to descend into slanging matches on some threads which is a real shame. One thread in particular had produced some very positive posts, but in the end I guess it's very hard to debate on a forum when emotions run high.
One thing you see in the trans community very quickly is the pain and hurt. I would say it touches all of us, it's just a case of how bad. For me, I'm lucky, but you see people who are out, those that are transitioning seem to get it full force.
It doesn't say much for a society that basically contributes to the suffering of a group of people who have done nothing wrong and really want to make a positive contribution to the same society.
