And ...While I'm not transitioning, I am trans. And though I wear female clothes that are androgynous in nature "every day" in front of everyone, I'm not fully "out" to friends and family. They haven't seen me in dresses. Yet. (Maybe someday.) <br /><br />I get "out and about" as a female on occasion, when alone. (Just not often enough...LOL!)<br /><br />My mother didn't have any miscarriages, and I don't believe she was given DES. She now has dementia, but the first time I heard this theory (a few years back, before her memory was as bad as it is now) I asked her, and the answer was "I don't think so." All the doctors she used back then have long since met their maker (she'll soon be 93), and her memory of that far back has now almost completely evaporated, so "going to the source" is useless. <br /><br />Back in the day, DES may have triggered transgenderism. I don't know. But there obviously must be something else going on, that nobody recognizes. Because we're everywhere. And it's not limited to those of us in our golden years. <br /><br />Hmmmmm, in my own case, I wonder if it might be connected with all those dress shopping trips I took with my mother, when I was a kid? You know, the ones where the kid sat and patiently watched/waited, while Mom twirled in beautiful dresses and gowns in front of the mirrors in the public areas, instead of hiring a "kid-sitter-companion to watch the kid at home?" <br /><br />Been there, done that. And, I now love wearing dresses. Could that be one cause? I'll never know for sure. But that didn't happen with our son.<br /><br />Be safe...<br /><br />MandyMandy Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547323395921637440noreply@blogger.com
