Hey , Im from the UK, I was on here a few years ago.. I took a break after a bad experience somewhere else , I was only young and someone made out like devs were not good people, anyway it made me feel very guilty about what I was attracted to etc. I did try to have relationships with ab people but it didnt work. I have now decided that I know who I am , and I know I am a good person, and I'm not going to hide and try to switch something off that I was born with <3 I have finanly accepted who I am. Hopefully Im okay to come back and be in a place were I can be myself and be comfertable! Nice to meet you all! I am SOOOOOOOOOOO incredibly happy to see you back! I have always felt guilty about your leaving. I had no idea you were so young. I have often wondered how you were, if you were ok. Welcome back!!!!! And your married?!!! Wow I've missed alot congratulations hun

"I was only young and someone made out like devs were not good people, anyway it made me feel very guilty about what I was attracted to"
This is the kind of crap that makes me want to smash some skulls with an axe. It's also the kind of crap that's spouted by people who are bitter and hurt, usually in the beginning of a long road that is to learn to accept one's own disability. There are many recently disabled Channing Tatums out there that claim they're completely over it, when they are everything but over it.
It's easy to judge things you know absolutely nothing about, especially so if it's related to something you absolutely hate.
I'm not writing this as some kind of messed up apologia in defense of PWDs, but I'm trying to explain what a steaming pile of ignorant shit most of the stuff devs are being judged on is based upon. And that's why it made me genuinely happy to see you found your way back here, no matter that I don't know you.
I get murderous from just the thought of certain AFF having had to face this kind of situation alone, when still struggling with the guilt and shame many young devs unfortunately often carry. PD is a place of healing, welcome home.

Hello there-
I wasn't here when you were, but I'm glad you made it back anyhow. I won't bore you with how I came here (too many have heard it already)-but I've found PD to be an empowering place. Here's hoping you find the freedom and comfort that you're looking for...

Oh my, all these Brit devs wanting a get together ... Why don't you all meet somewhere half way(ish) .... Let me think .. Oh yeah Leeds ... Why didn't I think of that before doh! How about a curry shop in Bradford? (never mind, I'm in Florida) Seriously, I know more about Yorkshire than I ever expected to in my life. I live in Sarasota, FL, which seems to be a nesting site for wayward ex-pat Yorkies/tykes. I work for one. I live next to another. My daughter's best friend's Mom is another. You gave us Eddie Izzard, and you sign my paycheck. I love you. 'Eee by gum!

Haven't returned to Bradford in about 8 years,but I used to know where you could get the best curry sauce and chips in the country. The wife has been talking about going back to relive a few old memories, so I might be checking the place out sooner than later.
There was an all you can eat chinese buffet on the main square that I should visit too...well you have to visit all the old haunts,even if it means putting on a few more pounds.:-P
