Putting others down..
Why do you do it?
I could see if someone was being full of themselves and needs a reawakening and be pulled back on the ground. I know everyone's got an opinion but sometimes 'some' opinions are better kept to themselves.
No wonder the transgender community never made any progress. Because for one or two steps forwards that we make, it takes one of two comments to bring us three or four steps back.
WHY? Isn't there enough hostilities as it is coming from outside our community? And the irony is, when you put the girl giving a negative comment with the one being commented on in one room. The commentee acts as if they were the best of friends..the room literally reaks of freshly picked flowers i.e. good words/praises etc. lol WTF?

HURDLE #1: If guys would learn to stop over complementing, and not compliment every tranny (or girl) they see and talk to (so a girl would feel it was sincere and that she's special), maybe they'd get somewhere but a dead end! lol

good question...to raise themselves above others, maybe?
to steam off daily frustrations? Too much badly treated chicken consumed perhaps?

Crab mentality
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Crab mentality describes a way of thinking best described by the phrase "if I can't have it, neither can you." The metaphor refers to a pot of crabs, and is used to describe any behavior inhibiting the free actions of another. Collectively, the crabs could easily escape from the pot, but instead, they grab at each other in a useless "king of the hill" competition.
This term is broadly associated with short-sighted, non-constructive thinking rather than a unified, long-term, constructive mentality. It is also often used colloquially in reference to individuals or communities attempting to "escape" a so-called "underprivileged life", but kept from doing so by others attempting to ride upon their coat-tails or those who simply resent their success.
It describes a selfish and desperate lust to pull other people down, denigrating them rather than letting them get ahead or pursue their dreams. It is an unwillingness to allow someone to get out of dire or bad life situations, often being foiled by friends and family members who keep sucking them back in. This trait can strike at several levels of life, like in office environments, particularly on promotion. It is a reflection of the famous saying “we all like to see our friends get ahead, but not too far ahead.”

I've never really understood this either, anywhere. Every couple of months I decide I can't take the sheer venom that exists on these boards, not too mention the harsh things that people say about me (but I make the porno so I'm a public figure ).
Life is hard enough, and I sincerely believe that we should be offering each other a shoulder to lean on, rather than kicking the chair out from underneath one another.
Some people just have a lot of unresolved issues... I think they just need to smoke some weed and meditate or something.

Just my 2 cents...insecurity...and female hormones...I work mostly with women...very competitive to say the least...my observation:
men= black or white
women=black, infinite shades of gray,white
tgirls=black, infinite shades of all colors,white (due to the infinite number of issues which obviously go far beyond those of gg's....frankly, I don't know how a lot of you ladies hold it all together...live long and prosper!

But the flip side nothing wrong with expressing your opinion instead of being a phony, sometimes constructive criticism is good and may be helpful.
