I know first-hand just how hard it is to be transgendered-- And just as much scorn there can be (and certainly are!), yes, there are those females who do understand and accept.

I'm trying to get a few more mama pookas and understanding and accepting people out there with my words and art, the reactions I get to this comic here and other places tells me it has an affect, putting this story in a furry world lets people talk whom otherwise would not,,, its important to me that Puck is in many ways real and has real world problems, that Puck is not a background character tossed in for color , but an active player whom like Montigo get stronger and changes as the story goes on, it bothers me when transgender characters are shown only as sex toys,, I want more then that,,,, hugs to you

...Or that we do it for sex, which for most of us, we don't. *nod* (And, FWIW, the other stereotype is that a transgendered male is gay- I'm not!) But yes, for lack of a better term, it's good to show a TG as "human", not just a cardboard fantasy, and the troubles we TG go through, just to get by and be ourselves-- Which is not an easy thing.

no not an easy path to walk at all,,,,,, Which is part of why I have Montigo in turmoil, fear, confusion, lust, curiosity, love finally clicking on the fact he views Puck as female, pro-nouns are important :) and fighting the label of gay, Montigo see's himself as being a guy whom is in love with a girl, Puck sees herself as being female, so not gay,,

I started recently wearing a mini-skirt, and I pondered this matter somewhat. Before I was clearly feminine-looking, but at least wearing male or gender-neutral clothes. Now I added a velvet skirt over pants, and I realized this might have been where the threshold was crossed and imbeciles started commenting. Nothing so far, however. And, people can't really argue I'm not male when I'm peeing in a urinal, hehe.
However, there is a key difference between Puck's situation and mine: I am genderqueer and identify as male unless I'm discussing my psychological gender idenity, while Puck is anatomically a male but asserts to be female generally. So, I suppose it's easier for me to be accepted.
