Finally prom night. OK! Here they are just before leaving for prom. So proud! And I did ask for permission to post their picture.

For me the most important part of this story is that young people are understanding themselves and their sexuality and being open about it. That is so much healthier than the closeting approach and the "denial" that has caused so much misery for so many over the years.
Sexuality doesn't come into it. Josee's son took a girl to the prom.

Never ascribe to malice that which can be easily explained by sheer stupidity
That nice news to hear, i hope there both have a great time.
Come join me on facebook
That's awesome! Thanks for posting the pic Josee.
What a lovely picture.
Time for a change.
Just a lovely couple going to the Prom. Hope they had a great time.

I may never get to fly like the other girls, but I do so want to dance, so I continue to climb.
I'm glad your child and his date were able to attend. I'm hoping that there were no issues at the prom? If so, I'm glad that you live in an enlightened area that isn't afraid to let the kids be themselves! You hear so many negative stories that it's refreshing to hear a good one.
Josee...they make such a beautiful couple...I know that you are proud of your son
I'm very happy for you josee, what a lovely couple. I'm glad they didn't mind you posting their pic. to your girl friends here on the forum. Be sure to tell them thank you for me... or you have my permission to show them my post if you want.

This is such an inspirational story, that I shall cherish it. Thanks for posting it.
Friends have pointed out that the difficult time I have had with my relatives, is so foreign to the younger generations, that some day, those younger ones who have been 'shielded' from the truth, when they find out what really happened to me after being banished from my family's gatherings, simply won't understand what the fuss was.Originally Posted by CONSUELO
Well, it would have been at the heart of the prejudice in previous, narrow-minded times. The fact that we have advanced beyond the point that the first thing people used to think about in such a matter is sex, is real progress.

Unfortunately most of us were born a generation or two too soon to enjoy this more enlightened age. It is still good to witness and know that future generations of Trans children will likely have a smoother go of it.

At least the TG of today have a fighting chance. How are those two doing anyways?
