Context. Read the context. Good grief. -

Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post. There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators. I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut. -

I shopped online in the beginning of transition. I had great success with SHEIN and Torrid! -

Have you read the rest of what I wrote? Please read between the lines of what I said about high school. Go over and read my Taylor story. Put two and two together. That is all I will say about that. -

"I feel like I lost my husband," Lois told the therapist,"I want the man I married." Dr. Smith looked at Odie, sitting there in his men's clothing, looking awkward and embarrassed. "You have him. This is just a part of him you did not know about. Or did not face." She turned to Odie,"Did you tear my wedding dress on our wedding night?" He admitted it. She had a whole catalog of did-you and how-could you. Dr. Smith encouraged her to let it all out. Thirty years of marriage. Strange makeup in the bathroom. The kids finding women's laundry in the laundry room. There was reconciliation. "What do we do now?" Dr. Smith said they had to work that out. Odie began wearing women's clothing when not at work. They visited a cross-dressers' social club but it did not appeal to them. The bed was off limits to cross dressing. She had limits and he could respect her limits. Visits to relatives would be with him in men's clothing. "You have nail polish residue," a co-worker pointed out. Sure enough, the bottom of his left pinky nail was bright pink His boss asked him to go home and fix it. He did. People were talking, he was sure, because he doubted he was anywhere as thorough as he wanted to be. It was like something in him wanted to tell everyone what he was doing, and he was sloppy. His boss dropped off some needed paperwork on a Saturday unexpectedly and found Odie dressed in a house dress and wig. "What?" the boss said, shook his head, and left. None of his business. "People are talking," Lois said. "They are asking about this," she pointed to his denim skirt. "This seems to go past or deeper than cross dressing." "Yes. I guess we need some counseling." And they went. -

This is the persistence in thinking of trans girls as predators and, as if, they are the only kind of predation that happens in locker rooms. This is strikingly close to the dangerous myth that anatomy corresponds with sexuality and equates to gender. -

At the same time there might be mtf boys who transitioned post-puberty who really belong on the girls' teams because they have more similarities there than with the boys, would perform at the same level, and might get injured playing with the bigger, stronger boys. I well remember being an androgynous shrimp in gym class that I shared with seniors who played on the football team. When PE was no longer mandatory, I was no longer in PE. They started some mixed PE classes the second semester, where we played volleyball and learned bowling and no longer mixed with those seniors, boys and girls together. -

Grey short sleeved dress under a beige pinafore-type dress. Black thigh highs (probably look like tights). It was cool this morning so a light black colored sweater. -

People love bureaucracy. It makes everything cut and dried, black and white, and often unjust, unmerciful, wasteful and downright stupid. -

This is why a blanket policy can never be fair. Everything is not black and white. -

Men's t shirt, women's jeans, hipster panties, flip-flops that could go either way. -

Common sense seems to be missing from a lot of these discussions. In my Taylor story he is jumped brutally in a boys' bathroom his freshman year, something he is still trying to straighten out 8 years later and has a radical effect on his life. Bullying can go either way. Transwomen in the prison system are happy to go to women's prisons, but I have heard that transmen stay in the womens' prison, because they would be killed in the mens' prison. I am leery of blanket "every kid should...." statements and laws everywhere. To echo a writer you may never heard of, Preston Sprinkle, you should work these things out with the child, and if necessary, with the parents, and communicate. I don't think a child capable of penetration should sleep with girls on an overnight, or be in a girls' locker room. Trans kids have limitations as a result of their condition, sort of like people in wheelchairs cannot go mountain climbing, but here is the social realm. Accommodate as you can, but there are limits. The cisgender kids have rights. I am not sure where to draw the line as to whose rights should win out. Nor am I sure regulation imposed by a Legislature or a school board is the way to go. We saw Louden. I see no reason for an mtf who transitioned before puberty to not play girl sports, but a child who goes through male puberty has enormous physical advantages over the girls, and we are seeing girls injured.
