Excellent story Hollee and thank you for sharing your experiences. The world has come a long way in recognizing that people are simply that. “People” and that, in many cases, some of us were born in the wrong body and have experienced, mental and physical hardships along the way. Perhaps acceptance is a lot better now due to some excellent publicity for some professional transgender people and their life’s story. I quote the recent story on Savannah – a financial consultant in Sydney. I wish you all the best with you life’s journey and hope you have the life you have always yearned for.

It is a very thought provoking question and I doubt anyone could really answer it truly without searching our conscience and wondering what we wanted out of life. But that’s a half answer. More importantly, lets say, A person did meet anther and was sexually attracted to them, what does the other consenting person want or need! Is is sexuality, is it need to be recognized, is it a want to express our inner desires and be accepted for them, or is it just a moment in time that is treasured. Me for one, am in a very satisfying heterosexual long term relationship and have wondered at times what it would be like to experience a feeling with another. But for me, its a fleeting thought that is aligned to how I feel when I’m comfortable and dressed. I don’t think there is any substance to it as I love my partner and would never cross those boundaries.

Yes I have and I must admit the gifts have always let me think there is a degree of acceptance that I’m lucky to have from my partner. She often gives me a Handbag or ear rings or some small token of costume jewelry that makes me feel special and gives me that physical connection with her through her small token gifts

Absolute credit should go to the parents who recognise that they have a child not a child to be expected to behave as a born stereotypical Male. How great is it to see this person and group defending the rights of others that may not be brave enough to speak out against discrimination. What a great article and how lucky are we to have role models like this teenager to continue to inspire us

Well I agree with you whole Heartedly .. It’s so nice to see a few barriers being broken . a special mention should go to the cosmetics brand that were brave enough to embrace this new philosophy “Make up is for all and there is probably a wider audience to canvas if its pitched right”. Strangely enough if I recall my history right, men used to wear foundations and make up in the 16 and 17 centuries .. Maybe being progressive is really going back in time!

Our New Zealand clan can’t ever be accused of not having a sense of humour. I guess making light comedy of Dressing does allow people to be a bit more acceptant of other peoples needs. However, I’m not sure if the video empowers anyone at all ..

I just ended up picking something I liked I guess .. As long as I was comfortable with it nothing else really mattered.

Yes the ravages of age stare back at us in the mirror every time we look at ourselves as they do for all of humanity. I wish we did not grow old and frail at times but we do. What we do have is our dignity and our life long memories and treasures. Yes we all come to conclusions and have period of deep contemplation on “Where we are and where we will be” but that’s not uncommon. Strangely, today I had a very same experience; however, It was not of my own it was hearing about another. I was in the Barbers getting a hair cut “Yes I do have to behave as a Male during my working life” when I asked the barber where his other barber was. I was told that the other barber had passed away from Cancer .. The guy would have been 35 if that. So I reflect and think, yes life has its trials to go through; however, I’m fortunate enough to still be here to sample it

hmm very interesting as my Sister’s name is Darryl but with the extra r! So I’m guessing that the R has been dropped now to make it a Unisex Name that still sounds the same . From memory Daryl with one R was the Male version of a Female name.

Oh the ravages of age .. how we wish we were all 35 again!

I’m guessing here but I would say the TV guy is Tuned in to his inner self

Interesting article Liz.. thank god we are a bit further down the road of acceptance these days

Great article and thanks for sharing. I have to say that for sheer fashion status I do love a long line corset . The article does show how women have been empowered along a timeline of the last 90 to 100 years. Nice to know that women design underwear these days rather than men.

Well in an age and time where discrimination is supposed to be on the decline, I’m glad to see that two states (ACT Territory) are starting to see the light. Lets hope Tasmania and South Australia will follow soon. I have my fingers crossed for QLD, WA and the NT as they are probably a little more harder to take on the reform.
