ur doin it rong

[clovehitched]

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:

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'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."

I have gotten frightfully good at returning things exactly and knabbing thing just before they were thrown out...over time I just gave up and bought my own hose though...too many runs.

I got good at returning things exactly due to the incident up-thread. In my youth, though, I wasn't able to grab stuff on its way out or get my own for various reasons, not the least of which was a fairly early realization that my parents and/or brother were frequently (possibly as often as daily) searching my room.
