Not because Jacki identified as transgendered but just to be able to marry Christine?
I wonder about both of their mental statuses.
I am ordering up full psych consults times two.
Yes, it trivializes coming out for transfolk and trivializes coming out for lesbians.
It is insulting for all of us and for all of our struggles that any of us could so easily turn on and off who we are with a switch.

Yep, I was the other one that made what I saw as a light-hearted, if rather flip, comment about their possibly needing an evaluation
if Jacki changed her sex solely for the purpose of marrying Christine.
Honestly, it is difficult to be genuine when one has to constantly re-evaluate every comment and observation in a forum so as to not offend someone, somewhere.
Do I not have empathy and compassion for the mentally ill and chemically dependent? Have I not shown that in the 3-years that I have posted here?
Do I sometimes make a comment that I think is humorous that others do not find funny at all? Clearly.
I am sorry if my comment, specifically about Christine and Jacki's behavior came off as heartless and stirred up pain for past or present history.
My feelings get hurt easily. I don't challenge every comment written that might bother me. I feel that my own past experiences are mine alone and if someone makes a comment that offends-they are not directing it at me personally.
Unless they are-in that case, I can either chose to let it go or address it. Since Gemme stood up and faced the comments directed at the two of us; I needed to do so, too.
I am sorry I may have caused hurt but still believe
that as the story is written (which may not be true); I still question their judgement.
Perhaps questioning their judgement would have been less offensive than questioning their mental status.
I agree with that.
