For some reason I'm stuck in 1974, unable to escape where I'd play with female cousins dollies but they'd play with my Action Men, we had the same musical tastes (Osmonds, Mud, Leo Sayer and the Bay City Rollers) and loved Lamb Chop, Basil Brush, the Wombles when not watching Newsround, Tomorrows World a popular science show), Jackanory and Blue Peter. I'd go to school in grey shorts but dress more like a girls when the folks were out and someone would pop in or at my nan's as she was okay with that but otherwise play with mates on the street or in the grassy recreational squares between parts of the estate as people only had one car and some still had none and you'd ask your friends if Mummy hsd a telephone as again not everyone did. Of course you use the stuff of now - like how could this be posted in the age of the telex and airmail - and you do watch some modern children's tv shows like Operation Ouch and the scrumptious remake of Malory Towers on the BBC but I'm looking in the room and it stills feels like 1974.

Quite. Just be you and go for it!

It depends really what you mean by "being a little girl" or gurl. If you don't really get anything in *any* context from the more full on adult sissy thing that's quite understandable because you've mentally gone back to being more of a child and well we don't do that kind of stuff but you may love the more satin frilly kinds of dresses you might associate with a special party with pretty socks and underwear. You may like, seems to be fair thing for it in the UK for wearing schoolwear and maybe having something like school or infant class role playing drifting back to a classroom situation or just wearing more girls play clothes enjoying playing with dollies or playing games. Sissy isn't all grown up stuff it's real more enjoying being more like girl but knowing deep down you're not,you may be "too sugar coated" for the actual girls but happy to join in as you really hated that all boy stuff. Some girls may call me a"fairy" but at least I've a pretty dress and magical wand!

Just the "fact" you're being AB, VLG/B or Little changes the dynamic as the "adult" is in charge just as they were when you were younger with them telling you what you were going to be doing as much as you might think you know what want to be so really that's not of itself a kink thing although it can be played as such where obviously more sexual humilations like sph are (You might not get off on it but those that do enjoy it). Having your underwear spoke off publically can give you real embarassment as play that you might enjoy without going down the other route, indeed as kids sometimes we'd do stuff like that to bring someone down a peg or two.

The other thing is "In what way are any sites different?", are they about "the look" in so much you can say there is any one single one, a sense of gender based identity that isn't around being transsexual whatever limits individuals may have with achieving all that means or is it routed around more "adult" things or more younger (as you call it AK) and so on. Just a short description can help. Sometimes just being you and some toleration of how you may label yourself by others may appear to a better way forward than narrower focuses.

I'm a bit wary of adding another sub forum although it can be hard to resist when so many have been created cos it further divides sub sections of "the community" on here although I am autistic myself and am understanding of how we can (and are misunderstood) by folks in the "real world" and the virtual one. Sometimes on this form you're approaching the junction, trying to find the exact right lane to get into and post even if at the time those present felt they needed all these turnings.

I would of thought having to be change in front of *anybody* that just had present when it was needed although whiffs aren't by any means nice at all

Welcome Emily. This site is a bit big so you may wish to get to find all the different bits so you know what goes where but this bit is the mainly Sissy only related stuff tends to go, however you see yourself as the classical more "adult" sissy or more a Little who's more frilly and super cutesy than almost any girl or anywhere along the way as the definitions games is riddled with "But I do this too" bits you just might as well forget matching them and just get on with being you. And while I'm about about, don't pay the Sissy Tax or just look for stuff marketed as there is much we can wear as we wish, even alter if sowing is your thing so don't be spending tons of money on mediocre finished clothing just cos they've put the world "Sissy" in the description. Regards Tammy.

It may surprise you Christine that as much as I loved the pop music of my own era I did like Teresa Brewer and Debbie Reynolds.

We are totally totally scrumptious dear, refined and always wanting to look our very best. Perhaps folks would like love to write this twenty-five times: My name is (insert) and I thoroughly love being a sissy gurl from head to toe. Onwards we go and go. With delightfully girlish manners, I put down the spanners and play with my dollies with excellent manners being the best gurl I can instead.

Maybe but I'm sure you'll remember the "That's a dogs name" put down and yet quite a number of modern children's name were associated with dogs so how is the modern child going to react when they discover that? I remember a Deborah would would go into a rage if you ever called her Debbie no matter the circumstances.

The last time I looked at manties.net the site was kind of broken with links not working and no obvious updating for what in internet terms at least ages. It's a pity because I did use them around ten years ago and they did to me at least get the shape right, the extra space but the very feminine looks without going into the lashings of lace unless you paid for extra helpings (I like some but don't wish to look like the roll got totally wrapped around me). There was some politicking in some sissy circles over the name - some wouldn't touch anything designed and marketed to genetic males - personally I'm more pragmatic. If it fits well, feels good and I feel good in them, that's a win.

I do have account at SK but it doesn't have much of the discussion around about sissy life so much as talking about tropes, captions which is fine if that's your bag but I prefer play and that more. Everywhere else is more fetishy and really that's not me at all I'm sure Girl sites wouldn't let Sissy Gurls like me in even though I'm very much house trained and wouldn't dream of putting things that never belong in the world of Little Girls in those spaces. Here is fine, activity as with many forums could be better but having so many forums and sub forums can be a bit confusing although I'm sure there were and are reasons why each exist and sometimes I feel there's a bit of Little vs Sissy gatekeeping going on when for many it's not totally one thing or another.

The moment I stepped out of regular boys pants into the world of soft panties with pretty bows I felt so much better apart from them being 400% more comfortable.

People find themselves and the best thing a friend can do is help them do that without judgement , respecting them for the person they are. "Bows and Ribbons" is a star.

There was a period must of been around ten years ago I did get into Rhumba panties but these were more of gathered at the rear variation of regular ones with lace trimming attached in dusty pink. I don't believe in paying the "Little" or "Sissy" tax on these kinds of clothing either some sellers seem to think they can charge us.

Things move on, the drift towards online life has lead to the forming of online sissy culture but the amazing thing speaking very much as a Sissy who is very happy with being called that is we decide what of any and all of that we keep, what we find isn't us and don't engage with with in much the same way with *any* identity you do. Watch young children try to assert their own by either place in social structure such as age or by gender and see over time they alter that bring in new interests, a liking for differing clothes or attempt to say why one group shouldn't do something another does. In the end we own our sense of identity and isn't that great?

Indeed.

Even if you do like much that say LG's do, that you do not see yourself as nor want to be seen as a being a girl is more than enough for you use some other term and a good number of us "Sissy" works well and really what we are doing and how that fits in what YOU are doing is what matters. It would be very disrespectful for anyone doing ahem "adult stuff" to bring that in to what Adult Kids of any gender (or none) were doing in the same sort of way that at and adult Christmas party no one would even think about talking about their sex lives. Everything has its place. It just comes over here that one that doesn't fit in Adult Kids as some see it are seem to be told you can't play which is very very mean.

That sounds just super!

I don't see what the problem around playmates is. It's not that couldn't just strike up a play session out of thin air but it helps when others can bring us together especially when it be hard to find someone who is more like you and that sense of isolation can be strong at times.

Businesses do need to sanitize monitors and keyboards and may I humbly suggest all do that to our phones as the amount of germs on them can literally make you ill. I suspect the issue the memo is referring to is probably is about debris. Do get up and go to the loo at work and look after your hygiene!

I'd be wary of doing something like that but where having something with me that is calming such as having a small plushie as I do get anxious at times then I do as that's really about my functioning so that it also fits into my "little" side is not the main thing. There's no reason you cannot dress a bit more younger if you wish - you may get a reaction perhaps - but that's a good deal less "in your face" than having a pacifier around you neck or having diapers clearly visible as, generally speaking, in public we don't reveal our underwear to strangers.

Coconut Ice, a pink and white delight.

"Understanding transgender people, gender identity and gender expression Transgender is an umbrella terms for persons whose gender identity, gender expression or behaviour does not conform to that typically associated with the sex to which they were assigned at birth." What are some categories or types of transgender people? Genderqueer is a term that some people use who identify their gender as falling outside the binary constructs of “male” and “female.” They may define their gender as falling somewhere on a continuum between male and female, or they may define it as wholly different from these terms. Although many genderqueer people do identify as transgendered, some may not. Adapted from Understanding transgender people, gender identity and gender expression by the American Psychological Association First things first, everyone is an individual and owns their own sense of it, experiences tends to show reducing identity to hard and fast rules you have to meet tends not to work in practise. There is nothing to say a person who may see themselves as Sissy cannot be Transgendered and if like some of us you may well be genderqueer you may not see yourself as being in rather less a binary camp of male and female but along a scale between. Even if you were to say "Isn't being sissy a fetish?" then there are lot of people out there who may see themselves as "all man or woman" who have fetishes so to have one or more doesn't mean the totality of you sense of self as that has to include fetishes not least sexual ones. It is very true the online world presents the sexualized sissy as it's norm but you may not feel it and in any event it was that never made you the way you are, the best someone could say was they explored some aspect and either enjoyed or not in which instance you quit that thing. Why not just be you wherever that takes you as Labels are just a shorthand term that seldom covers everything anyway? All else is about knowing time and place for things, respecting others.
