depends on term “mother”. to give birth to a child, yes
to be a female parent, yes and always

as quoted in an earlier, possibly deleted’ post ‘Yess”

It is amazing how quick this item hit the headlines with my contacts in America, first posting about this was before 5 am ADST !!, could almost say it went viral
nice to actually find parents who respect their offspring’s choices

[Brenda]

Try this one.

Walking en femme in a park one evening and I hear this young boy behind me.

“Dad, you know you want a new mother for me? What about this lady?” (then a good smack on my bum) [never turned around]

” I think you have made her more expensive for me” say DAD

[turns out the boy was around 5 yrs old]

almost sounds to the contrary to my first embarrassing moment, where I nearly caused a divorce in a pizza shop.

SHE threatened to divorce HIM if he didn’t try buy my dress, or get one like it for her.

[and I was new to going out]

HE apologised to me and asked where I bought the dress.

Maddy,
nice comment. it may be of interest, girls were able to join Scouts some 20 years ago.
BOYS, on the other hand are not allowed, anywhere, to join “girl” Guides.
wonder where the discrimination begins.

BTW, Most females who join Scouts prefer the more extreme skills required, however, (as my daughter informs me) the Guides are limiting the skills required.
SHE is a Queens Guide, and tells me that the commitments required now are lesser thant hers. and her daughter may never be required to achieve anything near her testing {regrettably}

(My daughter had only one level to reach in her Guiding to become one of thirty in Australia)

This must be the fastest I have seen so many responses to a topic,

maybe I shouldn’t have started it. 😳

[Brenda]

I find myself thinking, with these questions being asked, oh why did blessed PIP have to leave us so soon?
She had to be probably the only one I knew that could answer 99.99% of our questions, and answer with a caring face

[Brenda]

Not only was this story enthralling, and written so politely, I have to state that this story is the most non conformist and nonjudgemental story on TGism that I have read eons.

I admire Westerly for her forthrightness in her comments, but may be i should admire even more the reporter, the cinematographer, AND the editor of the paper, and Channel 9 for taking the long step to show that not all TG are people to be avoided in life.

But it makes me wonder, does one have to be famous to be acknowledged publicly? (No harm meant, just jealous)

it is alleged, Catherine the Great of Russia was was Russia’s best known Crossdresser, daughter of a tsar who never understood her ask for freedom, soi she dressed as a male for a decade without being detected, even leading a revolt against her father’s rule on a certain topic {which evades me}

[Brenda]

in all seriousness, there is actually ob/gyn here on the Sunshine Coast named Dr Dick, [and so was his father]

Abbie
It depends on many factors ,
style of dress, length of dress, length of boots, Style and coloour of boots, wearing of hosery and its colour.

I agree with heels whole heartedly, but whether shoes or boots, That depends on above

[Brenda]

Erin,
you really have nothing to fear, imagine
13 times in a year RBT,
12 times faulty vehicle.
three proposals from police officers
As long as you are sincere,. nothing is bad unless you are in the wrong

[Brenda]

I totall agreee with raschelle (?)

I really first went in daylight with a genetic Girl, to a LARGE shopping centre, twice !!
After that, I have the confidence to “hold another’s hand’ in their endeavours to come out.

Whether you have a GG friend or another of the TG community, I reccommend that come out of the closet with their help, do not ever turn down their/our help, your confidence is what counts, and they/we will have the confidence to help if we/they offer.
