Frank discovered he was different from other boys when he was about four or five years old.
"I didn't like playing with boys. I didn't like sports which males are normally good at, such as football. I felt they are too violent. At home, I liked to wear a hairband, and often put on my mum's high-heel shoes," recounted Frank.

Muk has been a tomboy since she was young. She always refused to wear skirts even though her mother wanted her to.

"My mother never asks what I am or why I become a tomboy. She seems to accept the way I am.

Thanks TravelerJim. Nice to know that at any time we can all click on your posts for some thoughtful guidelines to live by . . . . and a few hoary old cliches to cuddle up to when we become bewildered by the straight world's mean-spirited bitches telling us how naughty us fags can be.
How's the insurance biz?
Cheers ...
