What a beautiful story I cried and cried and cried…. how wonderful it is that these two gorgeous kids found at such a young age who they really are and have had the opportunity to do something positive and feel so natural about it all.
And to find and help each other in their journey is extraordinary. I truly hope all goes well for them.It was very touching in the video where Katie stated she was not crying for herself but for other young people like her who are going through the struggle of not really knowing or understanding who they are (I still go through that even at my ripe old age) and are to afraid to mention it in fear of ridicule.
Kids like these and their understanding and accepting parents are the bright shining lights that may just one day help society embrace transgender individuals and our community.

I do feel that not enough is talked about us Gals having breasts.
Too many of us think that having a vagina is going to make us an accepted part of Society, especially when it is who we are and how we present that matters the most.
Ladies think more of their breasts than their vaginas and to them breasts are the basis of their femmininity.
And too many of them are obsessed with ugly unnatural implant to ‘present better’.
There are many ways to get bigger breasts naturall and it is a fact if your Mum was big you have abetter chance too.
Spiro is a secondry hair remover that can encourage the primary hair growth as well BUT is also has breast developing potential.
I feel that if a Gal got breasts and lived as a women first BEFORE irreversible maleness orgasm ruining SRS then they may enjoy the best of both worlds as the third sex.
Sadly SRS seems to be the only way for many to MAKE society accept them as femme.
If you can live your life with Boobs and even better if you can still function as a Male then you truly do have the best of both worlds.
And I am sure that a lot of GG girls would find a soft genuine person like this a wonderful partner.
Yes life is all about having a partner and all I seem to hear about is how lonely many of us are because we have cut off our (pun internded) chances to appeal to others.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing as we hear too often. Yes we all make mistakes but is is best to make them small.

Hi Erika,
For my 2 cents worth on the matter. Natural is just much better. Most often I see either implants or forms are too big for the persons given body frame which makes the person disproportional to their overall shape making them stand out like a beacon.
If you are on HRT they will improve with time. After all there’s nothing wrong with ‘Bs’.
Think seriously about itHuggs

Hey Jane I see it’s on in Sydney when I’m down there at Christmas … Could you be tempted to fly down if you don’t see it before hand. Could be fun

I watched the first episode Friday and found it very interesting I was viewing it by myself when my 18yr old daughter walked in and I instinctivley switched channels, she asked what was I watching and I told her truthfully what it was about…. she said put it back on and she sat with me and watched it for about 10 minutes before she quietly went to her room i think she was a little embarrased. At least it was 10 minutes of possible understanding….
Tonight (monday) my daughter was in a very playful mood and we had a good night joking around where we both laughed hard poking fun at each other ….this dosn’t happen that often…. at one stage something jokingly came up where I said she would just run away screaming like a big girl…. where she replied … your the big girl that would run away… I said what and she replied… you heard you giggling old girl and stuck her tongue out at me. I laughed hard .
Sorry if this is off topic but I believe the television show may have helped spark something ……

A seriously interesting subject.
When we meet someone new and do not know much of the other the conversation is initially based on asking questions. Where do you…?, how do you…?, why is this…?, when did you…?, how is your family? etc.
Those we click with respond in kind, listen to the response, remember some of the details and build the friendship. When next we meet the conversation builds on this shared information. Those people become good friends.
When completely one sided it is not much fun.
This applies to all not just people in our community but it does seem rife.

Hi everyone
New to this serious stuff but I have read this thread with much interest. I, like Pamela and Liz and no doubt a very large portion of us, have been aware of our difference ‘dare i say that’ from very early childhood. There seems to be the common question of Why ? I to have pondered this question for many years but it has never really bothered me that much until recently.Hoping not to raise the debateable issue of labels, I have always classed myself as a cross dresser and was comfortable to live that life secretly with limited times to dress in private only. My wife too never understood and really didn’t want to know anything about it. There was never a persona or identity.
Chloes quotes- Just personally, I don’t feel that a singular cause will be identified, human beings are far too complex for that. I agree as I believe many things contribute which I believe I have touched on below.
Many years have gone by since my wife has passed. I have raised three children from that time, being both Father and……’Mother’…. attending the many years of school functions, parents meetings and volunteering ‘mainly with women’ Has this sparked something much more which had laid dormant ? perhaps.
The raising of a daughter since the age of 11.. Has this tuned or heightened my female side and understanding ? perhapsI was now not only the ‘hunter gatherer’ but also the ‘homemaker’ and ‘sibling nurturer’ Has this something to do with it ? perhaps
In the last 18 months I have developed an identity, someone who is real, some one enjoys being who she is, someone now who wants to live as a woman more often than not.
I don’t live full time but do go out as often as possible and have attended many functions both at home and now TgR organised events.‘Again’ I had never really questioned why? UNTIL……. I decided to tell my children, My two eldest boys said ok that’s cool and accepted it to a certain extent.
But here is where I have come undone after many years of not worrying to much about it…. My 18yr old daughters first and persistent question was… WHY ?.
I went blank, I stammered, I got embarrassed………. I had no answer I have thought long and hard now about that simple question and the answer eludes me.So I now understand the need to know WHY ? and Erika’s list of questions ….and how I can confidently go to my daughter ‘ or anyone else for that matter’ and say this is WHY………….
So for me a sequel to this could be… Who am I now.?…….Maybe another Topic or maybe my first ever Blog

Agree strongly with Bambi’s remark that a colour close to your original hair colouring is best – that way you’ll be selecting a colour that likely matches your skin tone.
Vicki also makes an important point about selecting the right style. My own experience is that it’s well worth going to a mainstream wig store that serve the needs of women with cancer.
The good stylists in these places are very experienced and are often fluent with the task of selecting from the large range of hair styles available the particular ones that are likely to suit particular face/ head shapes.

OK, so changing gender takes away choices about fertility.
Other than highlighting what would be an obvious point to any parent faced with the challenge of helping their child mature into a healthy and happy adult, there don’t seem to be much in this piece to be taken seriously.
Except, perhaps, to appreciate that we still need to help people – even professors at the University of Melbourne – understand that gender identity isn’t a matter of choice.

Quote:. One piece of information intrigues me; Skin changes (I’m assuming it is the change of fat layers under the epidermis), becoming more “sensitive”.
Hi Sarah,
Yes there is a change to the fat layer, but what may be more prominent is the top layer of skin. It becomes thinner, making it more suseptable to damage , through abrasions with hard surfaces.
The thinning of the skin does make it more sensitive.
Hope you are enjoying the experience.
