It's more than hormones or dysphoria. In fact, Miranda seems quite satisfied with her life as a woman. I suspect this is about what she paid for that life. And I suspect it was everything. Being trans doesn't afford one many opportunities to make a 'normal' life, regardless of their accomplishments. We're (hopefully) the last victims of a bigoted world.
I hope she's reading this and I hope she realizes that she is definitely not alone.

I've been up all night trying to contact Miranda but I have to get some sleep. Good luck everyone, let's hope she contacts somebody soon.
I know she was lurking here till a couple of hours ago, but not responding. Whether the messages of support and comfort have helped or not she must have read at least some of them. Let's hope.
Let's focus on Miranda rather than some insensitve comment.
Those of you who have industry contacts could you reach out to people she has worked for or others who know her personally, and get her address and have someone in the Bay Area check on her?
I sure hope she looks in on these posts and sees that she does not have to face what her challenges are alone.
BLKGSXR.. keep your crap remarks to yourself or to other threads.,,
Prospero deleted this before I saw it but I have had someone to reach out to Miranda.
As far as the asshat who calls himself Blkgsxr is concerned, he's banned. He's a fucking waste of time who has nothing to shout about and I've met him personally.
Just one of these guys who has hung around the scene, thinks he knows what he's talking about and is part of the inside crowd - and is a bit of an embarressment to himself. Don't bother coming to my house, son - or anything we run. We're about being positive, not your negativism which helps nobody but your ego.
I doff my hat to Seanchai's greater judgement.
And I hope that the reaching out helps. Miranda is clearly a very vulnerable person and I hope she can be reached.
Miranda is such a sweet heart. Good luck Miranda!
I wish her the best of luck. We sent a few PMs back and forth and she seemed really intelligent, sensitive, kind and respectful. Once she gets things sorted out she'll do well with whatever she puts her mind to.
You are capable. I don't want to say something that sounds like a diagnosis over the internet, which I'm would not be qualified to give in person, but what you're saying sounds like clinical depression. Not the blues, not temporary melancholy, but the kind of catastrophic dip in self-confidence that goes with depression. I say this as someone who suffered with depression for 10 years and still struggle with it.
When you're depressed you cannot self-evaluate, and you have a persistent negative bias in how you look at life and everything around you. You also are not likely to believe someone when they tell you that you're a talented and intelligent person. You are. You might think, "well how does he know that, he doesn't know me". True, but it's come across in online conversation and probably comes across to people fortunate enough to have met you.
You're still very young. There's no reason to write yourself off because you don't like your current trajectory. Redemption comes out of the blue. Again, I'm not saying you have depression; just that what you describe sounds like it. You must know the difference between what you tell yourself about yourself and what other people see. What others see in you is mostly positive...don't let that be pressure but encouragement:).
This is so sad. Miranda you are a beautiful young women with alot of years left. Life sucks some time,be strong.
This is a great great shame,losing such a lovely lady from the forums.
Good luck and best wishes to Miranda.
damn i was online when she posted this thread also read it too but never thought on it and never in a million years thought about the "worst". please miranda seek help from friends, family, people here or even a professional. theres no shame in that. i dont know u but I Wish u the best and advise u to please stay strong.
Miranda
I know life can be hard at times, lord knows I've been thru enough shit.
Not only does talking help, but talking to someone with the veil of anonymity can be an even bigger help. I find that not knowing a person will help you open up. PLEASE don't do anything rash. If I can help you I would be here for you anytime you need. PLEASE TALK TO ME.
She was pretty active on FB, I thought things were looking up near the end of the year, she decided to move to LA right a New Years. About 3 days after getting to LA she decided to move back to the Bay Area.
I got worried last night when I noticed her FB and Twitter were down. I PM'd her when she was online here but got no reply. (I am not implying that we were good friends, but we were 'chatting' occasionally on FB) My post #3 was to cheer her up as much as anything.
She has "dropped out" before but that doesn't lessen the worry. I SO hope she is all right, she really needs her friends to support her, even if she doesn't realize it. She has the promise of a great life. Miranda - we are worried because we care about you. -Rusty
lol........
Nice pic Kelly but hardly the thread to post it....
I talked to one of Miranda's friends last night, I don't want to air her personal stuff.
I think she will be okay though. :)
The adult industry isn't for everyone. It really shouldn't be for anyone who isn't 100% happy being in it to be honest.
Miranda is a beautiful girl with an education, I hope she goes for the dreams she desires.
Wish you all the best in your life.
I wish her the best and considering how fast life was moving for her, I could imagine how it could feel overwhelming. Thank-you to everyone who kept updating this thread letting us know the latest, Miranda is a great gal who has the best people looking out for her on this board.
...I hope you are correct here Kelly. I too hope Miranda collects herself and finds a focus in her life. She always struck me as quite intelligent but a little fragile psychologically speaking; I don't think the latter quality makes for a good prospect in the adult or escorting business.
And as for the hateful comments, the posters should be banned.
yes I called her roommate here in LA after she didn't answer any of my texts. It seems she moved back to SF after trying to live here in LA for a few days and not being happy.
this is a tough business for anyone, much less a young TS girl struggling trying to make ends meet and get a foothold in this world. I hope she comes back.
And btw, posting a giant picture of yourself inside this thread Kelly is in incredibly poor taste and you know that.
I think it is way too early to believe Miranda will simply be "ok"...given her history, it's probably best for her to speak with experienced professionals.
