Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I've got my car back. They replaced the cam shaft sensor and the starter motor to the tune of $915. Ugh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's about the level of equivocation I expect from a Salon parenting article, although I don't read them too often. Horrified, but find me open minded!

That reminds me of a great story I heard over the weekend: J was home with her kids, and the tv was on. Turned out it was the Tyra show, and it was about transgender people. Her oldest daughter (12 or so) was like, Mom! Is this appropriate for us??? Mom was like, You know, this is something that exists in the world, but you probably won't ever know anyone transgender for a long time.
A couple of weeks later they find out that someone the daughter had been in school with as a girl was coming back to 8th grade (or whatever) as a boy! The daughter was like, Mom! You said this wouldn't come up!! But of course none of the kids actually cared at all, although some of the parents were freaked out...

What a brave, new world that has such people in't.
I don't think such a thing would even have been contemplated when I was in the 8th grade. Or even acknowledged to exist.

Because books.
That's pretty awesome. When I was in high school, no one was even out as gay.

High school in Jamaica? Hell no, no one was gay. High school in England, chicks totally made out with each other. But it was hard to tell if that was boredom or lesbianity or a need to shock.
