Hello Natelie,

First, I wish to applaud you for allowing your son to explore gender expression so freely and to be so supportive of his venture into femininity. My mother also recognized that I was a girl born in a boy's body and started to feminize me on my 8th birthday. Today I'm a 51 year old transgendered/transsexual woman who lives full-time as a female. I'm also physically challenged with Cerebral Palsy.

You may be absolutely right in refraining from sending your son to school dressed as a girl. Children can be cruel and in today's society unfortunately it can be dangerous. The first time I attended school dressed as a girl was on my 12th birthday in a red party dress and black two inch pumps. Some of the bullies saw to it to knock me down off of my high heels and pulled the skirt of my dress up. This was back in the early 70's.

If you feel comfortable, I would love to exchange E-mails with you, (and with other mothers on this forum) become friends and provide support in any way I can. I have had a lot of experiences and like to share them with you.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Love,
Betty
