Transgender- friendly board -- nm - zork Jul 26, 07:45 23
- Serious question, because i honestly can't recall, was Stacy transgender? -- nm - Andie Jul 26, 07:46 20
  - That person claimed both at times. The problem is that since all those posts were from a perennial liar, it's hard to make sense of any of it. -- nm - David Jul 26, 07:56 2
    - Hard to separate the lies from the seeming mental health issues -- nm - zork Jul 26, 07:57 1
      - Yeah he/she was not healthy. -- nm - TWuG Jul 26, 08:28

  - Yes -- nm - Amoxy Jul 26, 07:50
  - Yes but reactions to her were about the Cray Cray not that as I recall -- nm - zork Jul 26, 07:48 1
    - oh, i know that. -- nm - Andie Jul 26, 07:49
  - My recollection says 'maybe' but not 100% sure -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 07:48 6
    - okay, that lines up with my thinking. -- nm - Andie Jul 26, 07:49 5
      - I wasn't personally as up to speed on the topic as I am today, so I'm not 100% sure I really understood what transgender was at the time -- (edited) - ty97 Jul 26, 07:51 4
        
        (S)he did want to be referred to as he at some point - zork Jul 26, 07:54 3
        
        I do vaguely recall this now that you say it -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 07:56 2
        
        right, me too. I had forgotten that. -- nm - Andie Jul 26, 08:01 1
