Shoot me down as much as you want but is this really the place for this conversation?
The topic is a bit specialised ain't it, surely there are dedicated websites for this, ones where kids wouldn't be using it.
The kids of this game are far more socially advanced and aware than the adults. Kids today are aware of a LOT more than I was as a kid and many or all already know an openly gay person or gender questioning person. These people are players of this game. So there are thing that may not be appropriate to TW boards but this topic is just fine.

I'm sure that over time, as we have become more understanding and accepting of certain things (homosexuality, gender issues) as have the "kids". What was a bit of a taboo when I was a kid (10-15 years ago) is now a social norm and isn't the issue it once was. If anything it's the older people on these forums that will have a problem with such things.Shoot me down as much as you want but is this really the place for this conversation?

Swags! This is the first I've read on it, but congratulations! No one should have to hide who they are! My huge amount of respect for you as a player is now dwarfed by even more respect for you as a person! Keep being you! And never let anyone hold you back!

I don't see anything wrong with this thread that woul make it inappropriate for kids. -
It's as good a place as any. People might learn something. This is our TW community.Much love to you Swagger,most excellent of persons.

@guns & tats, this is just as good of a place as any for B to discuss the issues at hand. If people were worried about exposing kids to an intelligent conversation about this topic, then they shouldn't have access to the Internet! Porn is ALOT easier to find than an educational topic on gender identity.
@B, I'm glad the convo went so well with your dad. As I said in your other thread, a fathers love goes beyond gender choice, sexual preference, or the color of your shoes. If your father has half the character that you have shown in my short time on TW, then I feel things will be just fine!!

Some good points made especially about "kids" being more in tune with this issue than elders. I suppose it is my miseducated age that makes me think the way I do. Don't get me wrong I'm not against what he/she is doing, indeed I think it is admirable and it shows his/her strength of personality to it's highest level. I bet the majority of people would bottle doing what he/she has done and continue living a sad lie of a life. So I'm full of admiration for them.
However, in my opinion, this whole thing reminds me of my neighbours, who just love bleating on about themselves, where they have been, who with, how much it was, blah blah blah me blah me me me blah blahdy blah.
There's nothing wrong with having a little dignity and respect. This is a game not real life.
There you have it people......my incredibly bad opinion put across in an even worse way.
Blah blah blah blah

1st - Congrats Swagger!!!
2nd - The TW Forum is unique in that it is MORE than just the game. For those of us who have been here a while it is a true community where we come to know and care about the people here. So, yes, we do discuss personal things at times. There are a lot of people who may not have much support around them and just need a safe place to come. After all, they don't live with us๐. They can be free to truly express themselves.
If you don't like the topic just ignore the thread!! Really simple! -
Bunnymcd you make your point very well indeed sir and I accept that my opinion may not be liked by anyone. I must admit I felt a sense of guilt by saying it and hope I have not offended swagger in anyway (probably not after what they have been through).
To say that if I don't like the thread then I should simply ignore it seems a ridiculous thing to say! Do I really need to explain why? I don't think so as you seem an intelligent person.
I'll hold my hands up to you all and say fair play though. You should all be proud of your united and compassionate responses which verify what you all say about this forum. It's unusual to come across this day and age and would be great to see more of in real life.
Thanks for your time.

I'm happy for you and I know it's no place for me but it seems odd he wants to keep it from your sisters who are clearly old enough to handle it besides wouldn't they be more accepting than a father who would have the stereotypical visions for his son...? I'm sure there's history no one could understand but that's just my gut reaction cuz you shouldn't have to carry that burden any longer
Any who good luck keep your head up and do you.
-
There are kids dealing with this. I was a sub in a country school. We had a boy who want to be a girl. Kids start dealing more with us then us.

Happy it's working out so far swags.. Hope you have a smooth and easy transition if/when that time comes. And stay strong and keep positive people around you๐
-
Swagger - Congrats on the Convo with Dad! Keep the lines of communication open as best you can and keep ur head held high. Glad to hear ur going to counseling and remember to have some fun now and again. Good luck!

Took some photos last night, en femme, now I need to learn about make up ๐
Everyone has their opinion, and the moment a person feels they cannot express themselves, is a bad day for all of us.
Guns & Tats, I appreciate what you say, but this is something I need to do. My dad 'knows' but it will take him time to accept (if he ever can). In the meantime I know I can lean on people here for support.

Swag it's your life you live it once do whatever suits you not others

I wish you the best swags but I make one request. You must do your best to eradicate female ignorance of the offside rule. It's a travesty that 50% of the worlds population do not get it.

It's easy, a no brainer, you are on this planet for a short period of time. Whilst you are here you should strive to be the person you truly are inside.
Did I say easy?
In reality being who you truly are is probably the hardest thing for anyone to accomplish.
I am choosing this path, in order to try and be myself.
In the last 7 days, I've been in ecstasy, I've also been in despair.
The path is long and I don't know where it's heading, but I can't wait to find out.

Wait so you are a man and are becoming a woman? How old are you?

Swags, have you managed to meet and make friends with any other trannies in the area where you live? (hope that's not a pejorative term where you live, we call them trannies in Asia but not sure about Europe) Think of all the fun you will have shopping for a completely new wardrobe! I do urge you to go on vacation to Thailand because they officially have a third gender there and they are very much an accepted part of society.
