A Few Thoughts on Gender

Transgender Update: Passing + Meetings + More Coming Out

Ah, my belated update.I was meant to go to a PFLAG meeting, which is "Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays" PFLG didn't have that snazzy ring to it though, so they went ahead and used the A of "and".Yes, that actually bothers me, because by that right "PFLAG" should be "PAFOLAG".But I digress.I was meant to go on the 13th, but the time displayed on the online meeting bulletin wasn't the same...

FTM Transitioning + Mom's Reaction(s) + Acceptence.
