An Observation

How is it that for so many of us, the very first time we tried on some item of feminine apparel we know. We know that our unknown path forward has changed, usually we do not know how the change will affect us or why, we just know it to be true. Time and age are constant, but the urges seem to grow stronger when we gain the age of understanding, normally in our teen age years.

 

This is a lovely guest post, on Rhonda's blog, from Janet Stickney.  It's short and sweet and well worth reading.
 

Bad apples

This week has seen two events that have sickened me. One was a person who was exposing themselves in a shop in Nottingham. The other was the conviction of a rapist. In both cases, the criminals in question identified as trans.

 

 

It just sickens me when I see someone identifying as trans committing crimes, as mentioned above.  I often wonder if a male, charged with rape or a male charged with indecent exposure can even be trans, at least by my definition.  To see the press use the word, "transgender", in conjunction with someone charged with a crime such as these just makes me sick.  We seem to be seeing more and more of this in our society, and while the crimes committed are dreadful and immoral, what they do to society's perception of those who are truly trans is just tragic.  If you haven't already read Bad Apples, please do.

Next steps!

For those of you who are new to this blog or have not yet taken the time to read through it, here is a short wrap-up and some “statistics”:

Transgender Safe Spaces

......I had the police called on me when I tried to use the restroom. I easily explained my situation to the cops and was sent on my way.

 

 

I really enjoyed this post, from Cyrsti.  It speaks of real-life situations that, I'm sure, many of you can relate to.

Too many nots spoil the chance

If this is the time you want to do more about your trans nature – wherever you may be under that big ol’ Trans Umbrella  – try not to listen to the List of Nots. Feel the fear, perhaps, but do it anyway. Go as far as you need to and know you can always change direction.

 

It's the new year and, with that, comes resolutions.  Perhaps one of those might just be regarding your "trans nature"?  It's a good post, from our friend, Lynn Jones.
