Ignore what that lone commentator said, I for one enjoy reading your blogs. As the title suggests, they're based around your work life, and generally for most people the first couple of months of working are a learning experience, finding out how things are done, finding your niche in the company / team etc.
You had the additional elements of being a "newly minted girl" and a team leader, so in addition to learning the job, you've also been learning how to lead a team, how to relate to colleagues, and of course picking up on female mannerisms and social conventions.

Obviously now you're more settled, the pace of change and finding interesting things to blog about will diminish, but if the trip East goes ahead, you would have had a break for a few weeks anyway (but probably plenty to blog about on your return!) Anyway, despite putting Finale in the title, your blog does state you will do more Working Girl blogs in the future - just not as frequent.

It's nice reading about aspects of people's lives not directly related to their gender identity and transition - yes, that's a major part of many people's lives here, but it's not the only part!

your blogs and found them to be a great read and I happen to be a fan. I'm glad that you're going to keep writing, I'm a fan of your Danny series. I'm appalled with the person who has deliberately chosen to pick you to bash on.

[email protected] Like so many others, I too, find a great deal of inspiration in your blogs. It's so good to know that it's possible to complete this journey and come out the other side successfully.
It's never seemed to me that you were bragging at all. You just shared a bit of your life with us. Yes, some of it's mundane, but who has a life that's all excitement all the time? It's the tedium that makes us appreciate fully the all too rare occasions when we experience true joy.
If not blogging gives you more time to write stories it might be a good thing. But you shouldn't be intimidated into stopping the regular posts. You seem to be much too strong for that. I know that I'd miss them a great deal.

With Much Support,
Hugs,

Bobbie, I will say that I really enjoy reading about the real world of adjustment following transition and surgery, becoming truly female, or "transsexing" as Kate Grimaldi put it. You are proof that there is light at the end of the journey and it need not be the headlights of a truck or train. Please keep posting as the spirit or events move you. I agree that one can continue to have demons to work out after transition -- I certainly did. Making body and mind congruent just takes care of that problem, it is not a cure all for all the problems you have sustained across your life, and new ones you will find. Problems, trials, tribulations only cease when you are dead, dealing with them is proof you are living still. This happens to everyone, whether they are supposedly "normal" (whatever that means) or not. If you would like to blog about those problems then that would be fine, and I think writing it might even help you and give others some insight to their own problems as well.

So ignore the evil minded person who tried to tear you down. Some people are so without self esteem they can only feel temporarily superior by successfully tearing down someone else. I say F**k 'em if they can't accept others for who they may be. Those kind are not needed.

It seems that it doesn't matter where you go in life, you always come across pessimists, wet blankets and naysayers. The trick is not to let them infect you with their particular brand of poison or cancer.

I think I've read most—if not all—of your WG blogs. I wouldn't have done that unless they were interesting. Rather than react to one person's sad view, treat it with the contempt it deserves.

I've been posting another author's work here on BCTS with their permission. I recently had a PM informing me that this person disapproved of my actions, and had put me on their ignore list until such time as I stopped doing so. You could do the same with your correspondent. BTW, I didn't dignify the PM with a response.

Instead, I'd take a look at the number of reads and comments your blogs have received. If those numbers are low (you'll need to define 'low' for yourself), or the numbers have fallen dramatically, your correspondent might have some evidence for their viewpoint. Otherwise, keep writing.

Positive Support

Bobbie, you have received so many wonderful comments already that there is little I can add that's new and different.
I'll just say that I am another fan and friend who has enjoyed your blogs. Don't let one b**t**d get you down. I hope you'll continue to write a blog now and then when the mood strikes. When something happens that you'd like to share, whether it's "Working Girl" related or not, please do. I'll be waiting!
And hey, let us know how the jogging goes, too!

Well, I've never read the blog in question, so I'm not going to comment on the content, but I will say one thing that someone else mentioned:

It is YOUR blog. You write it for yourself. If others get something out of it, then that's great, but if they don't, no big deal, since this is YOUR thoughts, YOUR soul, YOUR trials.

If YOU think that you need to end the blog, then well and good. But if you are ending this because of something someone said to you, then you need to evaluate just who you are writing these for.

I've got several blogs around cyberspace, and I get comments like the one you got all the time. I ignore them since I'm not writing those blog entries for anyone other than myself.

Now, my stories are another matter. I write those for the audience, so of course their feedback will affect the story. But the blogs I write for me, to flesh things out, to get advice, to bounce ideas off others, to just get what I feel down on "paper" and out of my skull.

Take a look and decide who the blog is for. If it turns out to be you, the joke them if they can't take a fuck. Really. It's YOUR blog.

The thing I have found most interesting is the account of being transgendered in real life. As authors we can have our characters do whatever we want with no limits other than our imagination. Seeing how you cope with real situations has been fascinating and enjoyable.

That said, real life sometimes gets boring, so there's nothing interesting to write about. I hope you still keep us informed about how your life is going when you have the time and material to do so.
