You may not think you know a Trans person, but I will bet that you do. We've had our Trans posters here in the past. I don't think we did as well for then as we might have. We have had someone here whose partner will killed in a random gay bashing. So I think we can start to empathise, at least a little.

http://tinyurl.com/262ll9x has some thoughts on it. So does http://tinyurl.com/2dmhvcs and http://tinyurl.com/25c6gso and I commend these and more to you.

Today is a good day to learn.

Better late than never. We've just had a 3yo boy staying with us for the weekend so his poor little exhausted mother could have a bit of a break - he's one of six boys, all under 10 years old.

Mum calls him her girl, and i can definitely see why. He's soft and cuddly, attracted to bright shiny things like a magpie and, given a choice, will always take the pink ice-block etc. His favourite game is 'hairdressers' - adults have to sit on the floor so that he can do their hair, (which i quite like too!) He's forever wanting to borrow ladies' jewellery, necklaces etc and is always clumping around in woman's shoes.

He didn't have them with him, but he has got his own purple tights and a pink/white dress. His mum says that she is not encouraging it, but not discouraging it either, he can be who he's going to be and that's all right with her. Which i think is very wise.

The boy may be gay, he might be a transexual, it's way too soon to tell but whatever he is going to be, it will be what he was born to be.

(How do you post pics on here?) cheers

Commas matter - 'Party on Dudes' is not the same as 'Party on, Dudes'
