Title: I used to be that chris fella people knew back in the day
Post by: krista on February 16, 2023, 11:37:34 AM
This is me outing myself to y'all.

When I fled California for Georgia in 2015, it's because I was super depressed and essentially trying to become an alcoholic. I found people in GA to take me in and I landed there.

Huh, no kidding I was having problems! And it took another 5 years of serious soul searching to put on the big girl panties and quit being a coward. I transitioned two years ago and am floored by how nice everyone has been to me. One of the most manly man Ducati owner customers from 1996 or 1997 called me and I just started crying. The cry was relief and simultaneously facing my biggest fear.

So there, I did that. There's lots that's changed plus now I'm working on contingency plan to flee the country if tiddie skittles get outlawed.

+1.

Not that it matters if the rest of us are cool or not.  Be you.

Some changes for me in the recent years means I'm no longer just around the corner from Mr Bradley Blackness..... half a world away I no longer have the lifetime of contacts I used to rely on.   So - gettin' right back down to business - are these guys selling the real CCW deal?

Hey Krista! Glad to see you posting again!
Congratulations!
We are what we are and have to be ourselves :) . I may not understand your journey but who says I have to?! Out of respect for you I don't have to, because I can take your word for it based on your character which stands for itself. Thank you for sharing, it takes a lot of guts (even though it shouldnt).
As always I want to thank you for being so committed to this wonderful community and for your support of this place. Your business R&D and passion for finding solutions makes it so much easier to keep older Ducatis on the road and you have been so generous with your knowledge.
Thank you.

YES we love Stu at ExactUK!! There have been months when his orders kept the lights on. Him and Brad really saved our bacon.

Hey - so I've got a not-exactly-spam question... Is there a way to CC all the mods in a DM to talk about it?

OMG thank you all so much. I seriously missed everyone and the psycho-ology around trans stuff really messed me up for the longest time. I mean, I'm still messed up, but it's more back to normal freak show level messed up.
