Yeah.. that's my bag.
Excellent find FreedomForAll! I love that they used "male" pronouns and seemed so nonchalant about Jake and his style.
I didn't catch it, it was hard to tell, is he living stateside or in Canada? I saw both flags. I caught a few license plates, and they didn't look Canadian. Wisconsin?
Mom is awesome.
I could have been Jake. God knows I enjoyed prancing around in mom's heels back in day... but alas, the late 1980's were a different time.... Still the 80's seem to raise up some pretty cool soon to be parents... so it's a win!

For doctor's and therapist's transgenderism is quite the cash cow. If you convince a few children they are trans you got a life long customer. Of treatment s, hormones, surgeries, therapy sessions, it's a very lucrative business. Someday it will be viewed just like the opioids epidemic in the states. After great damage has been done to part of a generation of children. The children are the victims here. They are vulnerable to this stuff. It's one thing if an adult wants to switch (I don't agree with that decision, but they are an adult capable of making that decision) then do it. But leave the children alone!
I have read several accounts where trans people thought transitioning would make them happy and fulfilled. To later discover they were more depressed and less fulfilled than before the transition. Now they live a reclusive life, stuck someplace between male and female.
