Tick tock, tick tock

Uncategorized

Hi, Last week, another year on the clock. Oh, don’t mention clocks: this could be a terror threat. 🙂 I did wonder, skipping back those *cough* 40 odd *cough* years ago. What was it like for my parents? Okay obvious joke, probably agony for one of them 😉 Did my Dad rush in from work, or had he been there since the start of labour? I may have to ask. Skip on a few years, and a remember visiting my Mum, after my little sister was born. I also remember Dad taking us to the local toy shop (there were two in our little town). For some reason, he bought my sister and I toys. How this helps to adjust […]

The Trans Rollercoaster

Uncategorized

Hi, Last week I was checking through my RSS feed of blogs and checked to see what the good folk over at T-Central had been up to. If you’ve not been over, the site is worth checking out.

Not a huge amount, but enough to let my old clothes fit better and I was very happy to be able to wear my […]

Changes

Uncategorized

Hi, You probably know that I answer the emails and keep an eye on the forum, for Chameleons. In the last two years or so, I’ve noticed a change -if you pardon the pun – in who contacts the group. Yes, a lot of our number are regular crossdressers (/waves), although we’re seeing a gradual diversification. Questions from women who identify as men, and also from younger people too. Okay, mostly teenagers, but still, I think we’re, and to steal a well-known headline, reaching at a tipping point. It seems, well, at least to me, that the trans elements of society are making themselves known earlier. They are speaking up and early. I still see conservative types who are trying […]
