its an autobiographical piece

This is an interesting and moving piece. There are many people here on h2g2 with problems similar to your own, and at least one person who has already made the switch.

But the Edited Guide Workshop is a place for getting entries ready for the Edited Guide. This is too personal to be included in the Edited Guide as it stands. Perhaps you would consider tidying it up and submitting it to h2g2's weekly newspaper - The Post? Or you could send it to the Alternative Writing Workshop.

its an autobiographical piece the others are media and political commentarys where am i going wrong

The Edited Guide is that portion of h2g2 reserved for factual non-personal explanations of the world around us. Your description of your dilemma about your own gender is too personal to go into the Edited Guide as it stands. The only place you've "gone wrong" is to submit this to the Edited Guide Workshop, when it is not really suitable for it. There are other places you can publish your work, as I said earlier. Lots of interesting articles are published each week in <./>ThePost</.>.

ill just give up writing all together

Why give up writing, when I am telling you your writing is interesting and where you can get it published?

I haven't read your piece yet, but Gnomon is right. The Edited Guide Writing Workshop is for articles with a very specific style but there are places on h2g2 where a piece like this can be published and read.

Please don't give up!

I thought You wanted people to Contribute their commentarys and things

The Edited Guide is just part of h2g2. The Post is another part.

I also have over 20 poems ive written where do i contribute them in the journal where no one except a few friends will see them

even my blogger only has myself as a follower and I have wrote 50 pieces on there in the last few weeks

there must be something wrong with my writing for this to be the case

If you hide it away, you can't complain that nobody has seen it. If you want to publish poems, the best way is either the Alternative Writing Workshop or The Post.

there are edited entries which as just pubs (ie the boars head) my writing is commentarys, poems and such which are more use than a place where you can have an imaginary drink

But you won't find any imaginary pubs in the Edited Guide, which is what you've chosen to contribute this article to.

The Edited Guide is for factual descriptions of the real world which are not personal accounts. Your article is a personal account, so it doesn't go into the Edited Guide.

I've suggested a few other places you can send your work so that people can read it, but you don't seem to want to listen to me, so I'll just suggest you read the instructions your Ace sent you, and now I'll go away.

im sorry i get very paranoid when i receive constrictive critism

LittleMissAlexa,

No one has criticised this piece, constructively or otherwise. They've just told you where to find a better place to publish it.

TRiG.
