I saw this post and felt a little compelled to write to you, since I have been visiting this site and saw my friend Fabian’s name and site mentioned here, and just wanted to express my perceptions in this regard.

First of all, I got here from his blog and got to learn about your amazing journey, and I personally have been nothing but a big supporter of yours, I think by being so courageous and open you’ve not only transformed yourself into a beautiful person inside and out, you transformed all of us and made each of us a little more beautiful inside as well. Also your writing makes me smile and laugh here and there, which is super value-added.

Now, regarding Fabian’s blog, he is an old colleague of mine who lives in San Francisco area, and also one of the memorable warm, open-minded, and progressive person I’ve met at work. His writing style is lucid and neutral, and through years of reading from him, and since I too, like Fabian, have been a Liberal person working among Conservatives (the Conservative ratio is a bit high in our industry), I understand that he just wanted to make people aware of extraordinary things and people that we are not aware of everyday. He stated your case neutrally without adding doses of commentary because that’s the way it should be – people who visit his site – Liberal and Conservatives alike, should read on ourselves then make our own decisions about your amazing journey indeed! If he was against gender transformation itself or disrespectful to you in anyway, he probably would not have recommended your blog. He is not a ranter or hater to any community out there and he too, dislikes people who have excessive pride or prejudice.

About the M$ deal, well, you would know this, the good old Silicon Valley vs. Microsoft competition stuff for a Bay Area dweller- Living here, his Seattle officemates here give the SV people plenty of crap back everyday on your behalf.

Bottom-line, Fabian’s blog is mostly viewed by friends and family who shares his openness and progressive views, regardless of how his blog might have came across as unfriendly in any manner, the most important thing is that he made us aware of you, and you made us aware of the reality of gender transformation. There would be no genuine support if there was no understanding through your sharing, and I got my opportunity to understand better through the awareness Fabian brought forth on his site. (And, I want you to know there is really -1 non-supporter of you in this world.)

Sincerely,
Kelly

P.S. Your new pictures look great! All the best wishes for you, Ahn and Samwich The Cute.

Megan >> Wow. First off, thank you for telling me this in such a super calm, civil way, defending your friend (which is awesome) and at the same time complimenting me. This was an anti-flame mail. There is no better.

I feel like a heel. I’m sorry. I just saw this a second ago, and I’m going to fix my Rants ‘N Raves page NOW to fix my egregious error. Don’t get me wrong, I hate macro-bot blogs, and I still will rant about them – but if you are telling me that Fabian’s blog isn’t that – but he just doesn’t comment, and has ads, then ok.

I won’t even try to defend myself, I’ll just fix my error, immediately. I hope you, the community and more importantly Fabian forgive me. I’m really sorry.

I really appreciate the correction. I hope you keep reading (Today was actually interesting, I’ll write shortly! (I HAVE A NEW LEGAL NAME!)).

With Kindness, and Red-face-ed-ness,

Megan
