You are correct, very few women today wear pantyhose. Also, very few wear girdles or corsets, but both are available to those who want the experience of wearing them.

We view this issue from very different perspectives. Which is great - if we feel that this chatroom is a forum for sharing thoughts, experiences, and resources. If we only use this chatroom as a place for like-minded people to agree with each other, I think we are losing out on the full potential of a good discussion. That could help someone like a parent or a young man grappling with conflicting emotions and desires.

Most people here feel that Shawn wants to live today, as a girl lives today. That may indeed be true. However, true transgender people are only about 0.3% of the population. There aren't many 14-year old boys who enjoy wearing heels and shopping for dresses with their mothers. But I think those who do, have a wide variety of reasons for doing so.

I think that if Shawn really wanted to be a girl, Linda would have seen a wide variety of signs going back to his early childhood. She may have, but if so, she didn't choose to share them here.

I think instead he is simply exploring his identity and experimenting in areas that intrigue him. And if he does indeed admire women, have a powerful female authority figure in his life, and feel comfortable being feminine and with girlish things, then why not allow him to flourish within his comfort zone?

At 14, he certainly has some sense of self-determination and a desire to explore sensations. I wasn't much older when I bought a wedding dress at a thrift shop, just to experience the sensation of separating fully from myself and feeling glamorous. Let him play Dita Von Teese and see where it takes him! She got a job in a lingerie store at age 15. Who says girls should have all the fun?

I was lucky. When I was a teenager I found a pansexual boutique outside Philadelphia that sold ultrafeminine lingerie, with a staff that varied from knockout-level women, to obvious drag queens, to flaunting gay men and women who felt entirely comfortable in their own skins. How refreshing it was to see, as a young man, that there was a community of people like me, who wanted to be themselves, unrestricted by social norms.
