@the_speak_easy: Apparently the hair-band generation is afraid of men in dresses now. Seriously? We grew up watching dudes in eyeliner, lipstick, leather, lace, teased hair, and enough Aqua Net to qualify as an environmental disa#ster and we called it rock & roll. Nobody saw Dee Snider and yelled, “Protect the children!” #glamrock #hairband #culturewars #SpeakEasy

if it wasn't so sad it would be funny. look at the same attitude of the baby boomers who lament these young prople. We protested war, injustice of all kind and were all for peace and the love generation. Where are they today? Come on people, smile on your brother, get together , try to love one another right now.

The Beatles. The Mop Tops. Their hair was a scandal when they first appeared.

I remember the "scandalous" photo of Joe Namath wearing pantyhose.

I think a lot of people in our generation forgot that we were the flower power generation. We protested the war, we went to Woodstock, we were hippies! We may have gotten older but how did we become such prudes?

A generation of children will not be harmed by the world around them as much as they have the potential to be harmed by their own families. I’m not speaking of physical abuse, I’m speaking of mental bias, and in some cases, ignorance.

I'm finding that many people need to have a loved one in their inner circle who is transgender before they do the legwork that brings them to full acceptance. If only there were a foolproof way to get others there too! Thanks for your advocacy!
