Sex changes

Done it again. Wrong thread! Packing it in for the day and going to do something useful

There was an article in the papers to-day about lack of political party signs in people's window, gardens etc.. I haven't seen any, I must admit. There is a big UKIP banner near us, loads of Con. placards not one Lib Dem. and not a sign anywhere of Lab. I have seen nothing in people's property. Is it different in urban areas?

Apparently, he was given a course of hormones from day one, according to Nan; not what you would expect in 1917. He was very mixed up all his life.
He went on local tv with his problems which caused great angst with his parents because of the shame it brought them. I think he swung both ways because he married (several times) and had children yet we have pictures of him as a drag turn in the army. I found him very amusing and always well-turned out.

what a sad story, thankfully now there would be the appropriate treatment with counselling/surgery/hormones etc.

That is desperately sad, for both of them.

I am interested in this subject because I had an uncle who had a sex change. Grab this for a good story (good one for MTMidwives). My Nan had a baby in 1917 and they couldn't tell the sex. They asked her what she wanted; a son, so my uncle's fate was decided. He came out when he was in his fifties;became a women but then went back to being a man. It broke my Nan.

You can talk clothes with the other way, too. I have a friend who used to be female, I say things like - 'You only did it so that you could wear the same outfit every day, didn't you'. And 'Think what a fortune it's going to save you in makeup and hair dye'. He says the best part is being able to wear the same pair of shoes or boots all season. I feel quite jealous sometimes.

I used to work for a transsexual boss thirty years ago,but I didn't notice myself speaking any differently.

I'd stick to holidays...always safe at the hairdresser's.

I am going to the hairdressers this afternoon. I have my hair cut by 3 or 4 different hairdressers. I talk to them all differently.

I think that I talk differently to all people. [This is much more difficult to do online].
All women are not the same, and all men are not the same, by a long way.
