[Scotti]

You've come to the right place, Scotti. We are a family. If there ever was a group of souls who can understand and sympathize with your challenges, it's this diverse cadre of crossgendered, avatared, crazies that gather together here every day.

Thanks Clara Kay! It is good to know that there is support out there, and from what I've seen here so far there's no need to look elsewhere.

Thats why I really, really like hugs.
That little kid is always, always still in there somewhere, and alone and frightened and not knowing what the fuck is going on. No matter how old we get.
But that kid understands a hug. A hug is good.
Hugs, Scotty, hugs, kid!

Yes, hugs are nice...thanks for the hug Samantha! And you are right, the child usually is not to blame, but always winds up being a pawn in a game they have little control over.

LOL, I used to play make-believe with my stuffed animals all the time! I didn't know it was considered feminine though. Oh well.

Yeah, one would think it wouldn't be. But when you watch how kids are raised, at an early age boys and girls are guided in what is considered masculine and feminine, especially in the toys they play with. Boys gets trucks and guns, girls get dolls and dress up stuff.
