Realizing that my wife and oldest son will never understand how "innocent" things they say can cut me so deep. 

Sorry to hear that hon. The holidays can be so difficult.

Sigh. I've done that, too.

My breast forms and pocketed bra are mounted and ready. Last time I wore that was in august when I lost my confidence at three months HRT in order to go to a party while trying to improve sex appeal.

I don't have a lot of confidence right now... I am even scared of taking the measuring tape and checking my breasts.

Family gatherings, where the children don't know about inappropriate touching. It's making me feel really dysphoric then they grab my...parts.

EEp! I think some parents need to watch their kids.

I had an experience were a neighbor's granddaughter had a thing for not only inappropriate touching but would also hit me in inappropriate areas so I spoke up and that was the end of that stuff

Yeah, same thing. She called me a pussy when I hurt. She's 9, how does she know that word. Totally inappropriate.

oh wow....9.  That's a little old to not know that kind of thing.... (the inappropriate touching)

Irresponsible creepy adults who think it's 'cute' when their creepy little brat misbehaves?

I would get my ass beat of I ever did that.
I probably still would.

Kids push boundaries. There's a contemporary style of parenting that considers it chic and/or ironic to support or allow this (either tacitly or explicitly). I like to think these parents get their comeuppance when their kids hit adolescence.

That's what I've seen most of the time. If I had kids, I would kick their ass without hesitation if they got out of line. Screw all of that crap about "being your kid's friend" or just not giving a damn, in general.

Teaching would be great if not for the parents.

I can't tell you how frustrating it is to try to guide and shape a child's behaviour (positively), only to have mom and dad defend their little angel's right to act howeverthehelltheyplease.

The worst kind.

Found out that my mother and step-father after 28 years of marriage are getting divorced. On top of that, my step-sister tried to frame my mother of outing me to my wife's parent's who don't know I'm transitioning yet. (We plan to tell them in person if February when we visit them in TN.) She did this to try to break up my mother's and I relationship which has been the best it's been in 5 years partially as a result of me coming out to her (a very positive experience.)

My lower back and legs hurt getting out of bed. They're fine now... I think I was a bit dehydrated (must drink more after getting up at 3 am for pp)!
