I do not see the point of announcing sexuality on a machining forum.

Did you miss Brent's thread on miss metric? we don't judge here
@Hollow-Grind I didn't mention my sexuality. Perhaps my wife of 46 years might want speak to this.
Seriously, DM me with questions, I'm an open book. I think you might misunderstand what I'm announcing.
-- About 100 people on the forum have met me in person. they know me with a beard and called by a name I no longer use. *they* would like to know that my name has changed, and that I might look a little different.

Not really what that was about. But more than any other I've participated in, this forum seems to be a group a mutually supportive friends who care about one another, and appreciate and care to support the other members in major life events. Things like marriage, divorce, death of a loved one, being diagnosed with a major illness yourself, or taking the step from John to Joni on the journey of discovering who you are.
IIRC John came all the way from Calgary to be at the Vancouver Island meet up last year. Joni, I hope you're able to do so next time!

Ok ill admit I too don't understand what or why you're announcing.
I certainly don't expect you to explain yourself on a forum why you make personal choices but it seems to me it was more of a public announcement?
John/Joni I will respect you as a contributing and valuable member of this forum if you continue in the way you have in the past.

If we were having an open discussion about sexuality, I'm pretty sure it would soon get added to the religion, politics, and policy taboo list. I don't think we should go there.
However, many members choose to share their life changes with us from deaths to illness, losses, and significant changes. Most members appreciate that. This is not different as long as no discussion arises from it. Let's keep it that way.
