Responding to Diane Jessup's Inquiry - Page 4

NoCurs, What difference would it make? You don't know anyone who is really in the Pit Bull World. lol
Perhaps they don't want to divuldge their identity, so you and your HSUS pals, will show up to evaluate their dogs.
  
 I'm curious NoCurs. You write books about the APBT. Do you know who the oldest and most famous APBT Dogman is, in your state?  Anyone who writes APBT Books, should be able to answer that, in a heartbeat. Also what was the name of his well known dog in 1971. What do you know about that Washington State Bulldog?

Aron,
            You like women,..... Moons  likes women,... I like women........we have something
in common. Thanks for your service to our country.  There are a lot questions I would like
to ask but it is none of my business.   Thanks again for the service to our Great country.

I don't mind questions, if you've got them.
I'm not a shy guy.

Aron,
              You are brave and that is a great plenty for me. Trust me when bullets start fling,
no one is going to care. You were an American soldier and that ends the argument in my book.
I am very  glad to meet you.

I like how I made a serious statement, which is in fact true, and it's met with sarcasm.  Many of us know each other personally, or from other forums and have for many years. While it may seem secretive to a newcomer, it's not always the way it's intended. Forgive us if we forgot to formally introduce ourselves to every newcomer to the forum.

The only people I have a problem with are the trolls with multiple identities, and even then, I simply ignore them. Take what you need and leave the rest. Simple.

I don't post my website, because, well, I don't need to. People find me all the time, when they're looking for what I want to be known for. I would feel a bit pathetic plugging my kennel and website all the time. Word of mouth has been plenty so far.

Yes, Danke has a distinctive expression. And thanks for the compliment;-) Oh, and CONGRATS btw.

Seriously, no one's gonna ask anything?  I've got a few questions.  Please understand, Aaron, that I am not trying to be belittling or pejorative.  Nosey, I'll grant you, but since you offered, here goes.

At what age did you realize that you were meant to be a man?

Are you attracted to men or women now?

Did you date when you were female?  If, so, men or women?

Have you gone through surgery yet?

You were able to do this while in the service without it being obvious?  (BTW, thanks.)

How did your friends receive the news?  Parents?

In future relationships, will you be upfront about this?  Have you already had to cross that bridge?

I have a lot  more questions, but I'll leave it at that for now.  I know a bunch of people on this forum will jump all over me for asking, but I'll bet it may even be a little bit cathartic to be able to speak freely about something so lifechanging after having to hide it for so long.  

RFS

RFS,
                Perhaps a PM would be  more courteous, I would not assume that Aron was hiding
but may be not letting  every body no his business. When you are in a war zone the Military
likes you to stay focused and worry about things you don't need to worry about. I find your
post less than respectful. Which is why Aron has to answer this stupid accusation in the first
place.

RFS:

Aaron(ALyasse) use to be on our database and she has a 6 yrs old son and her husband was killed a year ago. SO please!




YR

Jan, Aaron invited the questions and has stated elsewhere that he is happy to answer any and all questions, so someone a bit more shy won't have to. :-) However, this is a DOG forum, so the questions would appear to be inappropriate on that basis. So, perhaps pms or the site Aaron has for answering questions?

They were asked publicly... might as well respond publicly.


At what age did you realize that you were meant to be a man?
I cannot recall, at any point in my life, feeling female.  As a child, I felt distinctly male, up until the age I entered school and became more concious of the two sexes.  Prior to that, I assumed that being called a tomboy, meant that I was in fact, the boy I knew myself to be.  Talk about a rude awakening.  I then spent the next many, many years believing I was insane, as I felt internally male, yet it was readily apparent that I was not.  I had neither the vocabulary nor the social support to voice what I was experiencing.

Are you attracted to men or women now?
Both.  I'm in a relationship with a woman, at the moment.

Did you date when you were female? If, so, men or women?
I was married for 7 years, to a man.  I dated both men, and women in high school.

Have you gone through surgery yet?
No.

You were able to do this while in the service without it being obvious? (BTW, thanks.)
Do *what* while in the service?  I began hormone therapy while on terminal leave pending my discharge.

How did your friends receive the news? Parents?
My friends, my stepsons, and my brother have been supportive.  My mother has more or less disowned me.  My father has been dead since 1995.  Neither my friends, nor my brother, were particularly surprised.

In future relationships, will you be upfront about this? Have you already had to cross that bridge?
I'm honest about who and what I am with everyone in my life.  My girlfriend knew I was trans before we ever began dating.
