A while back Lee made a post about how she was going to have a baby. The circumstances in which she conceived were rather unique to me, and I apologize for my rude responses to this.
In case anybody is wondering why I mention this so far after the fact, its because I’ve actually had it on my mind the whole time. There are some lifestyles/personal preferences that I have a hard time accepting. If anyone wants to label me a bigot for thinking that way, so be it.
Lee, I want you to know that I am very sorry for hijacking your thread back then. I am finally able to come to grips with the fact that I was being ignorant about the situation. If there was anything wierd about the thread, it was solely me for making such a crass comment when you were only trying to express a very happy occasion that happened for you.
Now that I am fully awake, let me say I did find your apology very gracious. I did not immediately accept as I had to find what I was accepting an apology for. Not that I had forgotten the comment, but it did not bother me enough to take note of who said it. I do really appreciate the apology and it cheered me up, as did your response to my TMI thread.
Note: Since I announced my pregnancy, I have discovered that the circumstances surrounding the conception are not as unusual as one might think. I met online a transwoman who conceived a lovely daughter years after she started hormones and started living full time as a woman.
Apparently some transwomen have strong swimmers even when on estrogen. Mind you the conceptions happened pre-op, although I think the other woman has since had the full surgery.
Excellent apology. Incubus, you should teach an SDMB workshop on making genuine and sincere apologies. A lot of people around here could use some pointers, and that was a good one.
