Lets hear it for the young 'uns

Hi Princess :)
I refrained from posting my thoughts on a similar "age" related thread because I felt the thread was a bit condescending to be honest.

But I'd like to say the young T-folk, are the ones to be celebrated. The facts that younger and younger cross-dressers/TV's trannies call 'em what you will, are finding like minded others and support online, plus they are accepted in Goth circles, plus they are increasingly to be seen out socialising and having fun , has a warming effect on me.
Most of us "geriatrics" when young, only knew there were "others" because of lurid and seedy ads in the back of the Sunday Press.( UK perspective here. )


Not too many years ago, young cross-dressers were almost unknown, and totally secret.
What a shame, they are far more suited to life in the image concious New Millenium. It's just, how it is, younger TV's are better looking. And better looking folk are more accepted.

I think anything that can be done to encourage our youngest Sisters to recognise what their "strange" behaviour means and get involved in such forums as this excellent one, would be good to see. Particularly if it means that TVs are accepting themselves sooner and easier, due to awareness.
Anything that can be done to help (e.g. under 25s) find like minded girls, (without offering their bodies,) must be a good thing.

I've posted this seperate from Chloes "young Crossdressers" thread so as not to divert from the growing list of younger girls. So don't annonce yourself here, do it over there ;)

You younger gals are the hope for the future.

While us old granny types have been up an down "the road less traveled" till we wore grooves in it, it is up to you fine young ladies to "pave" it for us all.


There is new legislature coming out regularly protecting our rights as human beings, major corporations are including us in their policies, and we can take a stroll through the mall without getting arrested. These things were unheard of in my day. And although we older girls layed the groundwork for this, the newer generation is making our collective voice heard. Some by being "out" on college campus's making issues about restrooms or hosting TG Rememberence day. Some have brought the issue into their place of work and demanded equality there. Others simply by being out and about in society. That exposure does a remarkable amount of good for our cause. You are changing societies perception of us. Less and less do we hear of hate crimes against us, although sadly some girls have given their all. :rose: (Even those girls did not die in vain because society has sympathized for them and thier families. And that kind empathy has a lasting affect.) We are the final minority. It's our turn to step up and be heard. To demand respect and our own place as equals in this world. And you younger girls are the ones that will make it happen.

You young girls Rock!!

Hugs
