A piece featured in the UK's "Guardian" newspaper this month about a teenage girl whose dad wanted a sex change:

I'm glad she's supportive now, but some of the thing sin the article make me cringe. Ladydad? Really? And the constant use of "dad" as well as male pronouns... and from Jane, the "the camp sort of transvestite drag thing" comment... sigh.

Ah well. A small step forward is still a step forward. :|

to be honest, its slightly misinformed and offensive. And hasn't Tash been asked to call Jane 'mum' and 'she'?
