Righting misconceptions

In what is the last post of this month  there are things I feel are worth talking about and one of them is how people tend to see you within our allied communities.

This came into focus last week when after responding to a post I got a rather length and given the site in question's messaging system with poor punctuation a little hard to fully make out but it read as a scenario they had involved me in.

Then there was another that read as an apology for including references to adult scenes as they had read later on posts that talked about being a LITTLE sissy gurl which was a very BIG thing for them to do  but it does show how in the wider sissy world there is this blind presumption that ignores us.

I am majorly a Little and for me it's all about being or re-enactment of the life of a younger child me who was a Sissy but who didn't get the opportunities then to let hur sissy gurl self out who loves play, dress ups, colouring, music and reading. 


Basically I am like an Adult Little Girl other than my gender is Gurl, too feminine for boys and more girlier than most girls who presents as that gurl of around nine or  ten and loves that uncomplicated non sexualized world which ought to be protected.

A gurl like me is purposely dressed in a child-like and marginally more childish for a girl of that age in things like hardwearing corduroy skirts ankle socks and converse trainers.

You'll have me in girls character knickers and tops for playing in and girls school uniform for learning while in all occasions if I'm a bit cheeky or naughty you'll put me over a lap for a spanking just like gurls of my era had.

That's the thing, it would be like things were back then but all happening right now so have a new-old happier sissy gurl life being able to be myself which was what I wanted then and this thing is all about now

Move forward as you even in winter

It's a cold start to the week here not least for temperatures being minus 4 degrees c here as I sit typing this  so I thought we'd start with something rather more basic this week as eclectic as this blog is.

That moment we suddenly realize we are different than our peers whither or not it happened at some stage in your childhood or later on in life such as at college or university is life changing but often we feel lost, unsure of how now to proceed.

Being so used to an idea about how we'd just get up one morning and dress to spend that day counted as a male, there is that hesitancy as you go to pick up those boxers and to start pulling up your trousers you never experienced before that epiphany.


For me, the honest answer is I had not when as a child I realized really I was more of a gurl but went to try skirts on and found it just felt fantastic and that question needs answering I feel for most sissies.

We need to say from that moment we realize we are no longer men or boys onwards we will commit to exploring who we are and seriously explore not just in furtive few minutes but for hours at a time wearing a dress or skirt and our underwear.

 

You need to throw out those boxers and get into panties even on those days you may for now at least have to go out in men's trousers, exploring which cuts and fabric you prefer.

On a cold day like today where you'd be an idiot to wear a thin floaty skirt on the streets you can wear a pretty pair of panties under fleecy trousers and a bra too under a top and sweater and add some girlie thick long socks, perhaps with a pretty motif.

Just go ahead and declare you inner femininity as a sissy even where the short pretty dresses and skirts aren't the best choices for the weather and keep all else feminine as that'll give you that feeling you have started to move on, your world is now different.

As much as I love and you love the skirted look, we can take a leaf out of girls books and wear whatever best suits our needs and still keep who we are.

It's simply that where we can, skirts and dresses are so much more fun, more liberating even.

YOU ARE A SISSY IN ALL WEATHERS

Biddy Baxter: The Woman Who Made Blue Peter

Hello there Boys and Girls!

Christmas is over as the tree has been taken down together with the nativity scene and the cards as we've passed the twelve days of Christmas getting set for the New Year but somethings don't always just go and that applies to this.

I sometimes sound rather like a stuck record but the one tv show that for my whole life has towered over others is the Children's BBC magazine show Blue Peter currently in its sixty-fifth year so not surprisingly there are things connected with the show I've had over the years such as my original books (many call them annuals but that was never the original term) from Book 4 published in 1967 to the early 1990's my regular and Gold Badge, a number of special assignments series books to books about the program some of which I have written about.

For Christmas I had "The Woman That Made Blue Peter: Biddy Baxter" written by Richard Marston  who work on the show as well as a number of other BBC Children's shows who interviewed past presenters, people in the various BBC units she worked with apart from herself fo this biography.

From 1962 to the Summer of 1988, Biddy was the editor of the show that came in in the very early days and set the tone of the show not just while she was in charge but for subsequent producers when it came to relentless dedication to making the best possible program, never talking down to children covering historical events, popular science, arts, adventure and lost of makes showcasing creativity.

This book is very much about how she got to be that person and looks into how the show was put together such as differert sorts of people who worked in the studio and behind the scenes, the way the BBC worked internally as they affected the show.

It tells of her childhood and education in Leicestershire in the East Midlands.

These tended to include battles for studio room, budgets, internal reorganizations, technical staff and some of the on set issues given as brilliant as Biddy was, she wasn't terribly tactful driven by her desire to make the best show come what may.

I found it a very interesting book, knowing of good number of the presenters from that period and some of the BBC  key people running things in that era, showing just how she made that show a must see children's show even when faced from ITV's very  me too Magpie competition for twelve years.

What she achieved enabled the show to continue without a break, adjusting a little as times changed  but remaining what she set it out to be.

The last few weeks on the show have been reviews of Twenty-twenty three on the show looking at challenges, visits to places, competitions such as the Dr Who one and guests.

In the more modern era interactivity has been extended to include an online fan club with games, extra bits of programming and the BP V.I.P.  scheme where people apply stating why they wish to go behind the scenes and meet their heroes.

They then spend a day with them which is filmed and televised within one weeks show.

New Year thoughts 2024

It's 2024 so normally we'd write a review of the year which would be focused more on things I've done and things that interested me but last year was so different for losing my mother that much of the time was taken up with dealing with the requirements and rituals from that that slotting much else in was hard going.

There are ways of coping with complex emotions but for me all of this started with the shocking discovery I was questioning everybody's idea that I was a male except I wasn't very masculine and so I began to explore being feminine instead.

Being in a household with only brothers and a daddy was restricting so inevitably I took to dressing in mummy's clothes or any girls clothes in jumble collection and it wasn't that I didn't just like what I saw in the mirror, I liked the feeling of being that Sissy.

Tammy got born.

In time and several battles later I was being openly sissy in her presence - you could hardly avoid it as she washed your frillies with love - and so I began exploring again different elements of how Tammy the sissy presented  such as a mini kilt-skirted in matching hose me.

I came out to daddy as a sissy gurl.

There has always been a part in this - a major part that is more  around being a little sissy dressed more akin to a 8-14 year old girl often in more traditional school uniform and sometimes in more uber feminine party frocks, blouses and skirts


For some people it's just a hugely enjoyable role playing thing but in reality in many respects I'm not very adult all the time for medical and psychological reasons and if you had me cornered, squirming, you'd soon reveal being an adult male WAS a fantasy I sometimes got pushed into believing when locked into all male situations.

As you'd have me affirm I AM a little sissy so I spent more of my time including with friends dressed more as hur getting served in shops. Emotionally, behaviour wise I'm still that kid.

I also wrote a bit around channelling my inner Brownie and Scout going on hikes and exploring cos for me this thing isn't "bedroom" but being that little, the one that loved scouting and would sooner of had the option of being in GirlGuiding doing more those sorts of activities I'd of done back then.

That mixture coupled with reading and playing music is me and that's continuing on into 2024.

I'm proud to be a Little Sissy.
