*shrug* I don't give a rat's ass.

It's her life. It's her money. I don't know why anyone who isn't part of her family cares.

I might feel freaky about it for a while - but underneath it all, she'd still be my child/sibling. Yanno, if she'd been a lesbian all her life, I would have been used to that ... it's not like I wouldn't have had any warning. (Yes, I know that changing genders is not the same thing as being a lesbian).

When my kids were going thru puberty, I let them know that their sexual orientation wasn't something I'd fret over. I'd be the same way with a brother or sister.

If it were a parent, that is a whole 'nother bucket of weirdness... I'd try to get past it tho.

Being gay or lesbian is so accepted now days it really is not that big of a deal. Not for me anyway. Sex change and gender reassignment is a whole nother ball of wax.

It's her (his) life. Eh...

I actually just started on facebook a few months back. A few of my high school friends sent friends requests and I did the same. One of them had me stumped. It was someone named Shane with a last name I recognized. But...the only person I knew with that last name was a Heather. You know the rest of the story.

Wax? Surely there are better materials?

Yeah, it would be strange getting used to the idea. But I'm confident that I could work through it. It might take a while.
