My updates have been a bit sparse of late - have been doing lots of stuff, but haven't felt motivated to write about it. Hopefully that will change soon, but whatever - I blame it on the heat and humidity, it seems to just make me want to power save.
Anyway, I just had to share this link about a cross-dressing teenager from The Guardian (yes, I know), which
alicephilippa pointed me at. It's a problem page thingee, and a man has written in to talk about discovering that his teenage son (probably) has been stealing his wife's clothes:
I'm sure many trans women on my friends list had a reaction similar to mine upon reading this, which was, "This person is doing it wrong, I always put them back."

My wife has had some items of clothing go missing over the last few months, which baffled us. A few weeks ago, she went into our 15-year-old son's bedroom to wake him up and thought he was wearing tights and a skirt in bed. While he was at school we discovered a stash of her clothes concealed in his wardrobe... |

I generally make a prescription for 28 2mg diazepam last about 5-6 months.

Smile&nod on consumables getting us busted.
Date: 2009-08-20 04:49 pm (UTC)I have extremely warm&close memories of how my mother handled one such "using things of hers" What it was-edges on TMI and I've shared the incident with some elljay folks etc. So snipping overt mention unless anyone becomes curious enough to ask, well-
Mom found me out from not knowing the care of and after use details for some femme things. She was more amused and lovingly interested in my thoughts. About what my reasons were. Reasons for the several sets of things she'd been patiently watching me experiment with. Well- it took me YEARS of introspection and doubting my memories to risk asking her if I was recalling the most overt talk we had- and several variant ones. Most raised by discoveries of some careless lapse. Or normal routines of hers inadvertently uncovering that which I "thought" hidden well enough. The summary was- Mom was then-and now- more concerned for my overall health both mental and physical than any other factor. She said her amusement over what I'd been doing more than repaid for the expenses of consumables too...
I do so hope I've not gone overlong as a guest...

Date: 2009-08-21 07:57 am (UTC)I suppose hearing 'you can just wash those here if you like, you know' after spilling a bag of laundry after I'd got home from their place might have come close to similarly mortifying the first time out though :P.
