If It Can Be Done

If the human can conceive a sexual act and it can physically be done it is being done somewhere by someone(s) now.

Obliviously

The 'face' they see....

Andrea Lena's picture

....It's a shame that a young adult with what her attorney admits are significant developmental issues might become yet another 'face' of the transgender community. What makes this especially sad is that she took advantage of friendships and acquaintances to perpetuate a fraud.

I must apologize if this offends, but I cannot call this girl 'he.' She wasn't living as a young man; she was posing as a man for the purpose of predatory sexual relationships, which was deceitful and seems on the face of it to be more a selfish act than an expression of gender. I hope she gets help.

Maybe

I remember being that age... just about. I had no clue who or what I was, and the information I needed didn't exist then. Like most of my contemporaries, I did some very strange things to try and figure out where I should be going, and none of it made much difference at all.

I wouldn't necessarily call what she did 'predatory', although that's a word the police and newspapers like to use these days. 'Necessary', maybe, and even 'poorly judged', perhaps. Without the right clues to guide you, you just do what you know. Teens make a lot of mistakes along the way. I know I did.

These days, of course, it should be a lot easier to find out what you need to know, but youngsters aren't always thinking straight. How do you know what to look for if your world view didn't include those terms?
