Corrupting Children

I am bringing this up with precious little in the way of insight.  Hopefully, some of you will have something to offer on the subject.

Faux Transition

The “ Pretty Man ” experience set me thinking more and more about the idea.

If it proves possible to give voice to my feminine side without being a woman, then all the inner conflicts about whether I am two-gendered, or which gender I truly am melt away; the stigma of being trans, and the fear of discovery disappear.  I go back to being one person, with one name, one wardrobe and no secrets.

“I see a spectrum with cross-dressers on one end and transsexuals on the other. I think I’m somewhere in the middle, so I call myself a T-girl. Someone else has said I’m bi-gender. You can put whatever name you want to it, but it’s somewhere in between those.” – Claire Black (Janie)
