Judy, Patrol Leader

The idea of leadership is one that interested me so characters in what I read around that topic always appealed to me.

This is quite an old book -my copy is from nineteen-seventy- and shows it but while not perhaps the best example of Girl Only fiction is one that does tackle that topic when Judy, who does to an all girls school becomes a leader of the Girl Guides section for the school and tells of her many adventures as Patrol Leader.

The LB years

As is common for most children, I did go to school and given how I was positioned in society as a boy given the district I was in I had to wear a school uniform five days a week.
We had grey sweaters, white shirts, grey long socks that went just below the knee with a patterned top, a red and offwhite tie and grey shorts. Our underpants had to be plain.
For PE/PT we had gym shorts, long socks for hockey and outdoor games and jersey which if you left them behind apart from being in trouble, you had to do them in what you had  on and when it came to PE that meant your underwear.
At my earliest schools we had wooden desks  with a compartment for your school books and space at the top for your pen and ink which if you were a junior it was the rule to write anything other than your homework and reminder book in.
High school  was different being a boarding school too but it was modern when it came things like facilities like having a well stocked library, swimming pool, gym as well as more modern tables, chairs and separate draws for your school work.
Our dorms were gender separated in theory but in practice outside of sleeping, I spend most of my time with the girls in their rooms which so long as the staff could see we were not up to anything we shouldn't (most unlikely in my case as I wasn't a lesbian), they turned a blind eye to it. In any event all the toilet facilities were unisex and lockable so given I go the loo just like any female wherever in the school we were and they did dress me in girls uniform from time to time which was nice.

Winter sports

I've always loved the Winter as cold as it often gets  not just for natural beauty but also for the many things you can do both inside and out on a Winters day.
One of my favourite sports to watch is Winter Skiing which is shown on the BBC as well as British Eurosport and it is sport many girls do take up although it is an expensive hobby to get into.

Off on the snow you really can move fast but it also requires good co-ordination too.

Here they are enjoying themselves in lovely girlish coloured attire, Who said girls can't ski or it's not feminine?

The LB years-Gender corrected corrections

When I went to school in the 1970's and 1980's it was rather different than it is today with more understanding around gender difference and gender equality apart from back then in every school I went to, corporal punishment was permissible sometimes set out in rigid guidelines, others at a teachers own discretion.
I am transgendered, spending my time on the then rigid  'boy' side of the gender divide imposed by the school although at high school I did find girls who were prepared to do mini -girl make over sessions during recesses to let me be 'a girl' at school.

These days I dress more as traditional younger girl.

I did at times get into trouble for various things at school and rather than being sent either on my own or with Boys to be punished I often wished for a scene like this.

Being with the girls punished together as the 'girl I really am' standing as she is on the right awaiting my turn, having witnessed my friends.

But then for me it could of cause be much stricter and a transgendered 'special girl' about to be caned in my girls school uniform, in front of regular girls would be just.

Of course you may end up being spanked by the Head Girl or a Prefect now and they may take you knickers right down for it too!

While for some usually transvestite/crossdressers there is a more sexual fetish going on with schoolgirl uniform spanking, for me it's not being more a return being a child but in her correct gender, being disciplined as she expected in her actual childhood.

Being spanked as a girl is a bond with the sisterhood of my youth.

Nature study

As  a child one thing we did a lot of was going on short nature study rambles at school. 

I guess our teachers were thinking of the idea of gentle exercise, slowing us down to appreciate the small miracles of nature and also the opportunity to make scrapbooks with writing, drawings and stuck in leaves etc about our experiences.

The impact it had on me was so much that continue to go on strolls and  a couple of days ago noticed the pussy willow was out on the local trees.

It's been a generally mild winter and this has no doubt lead to things coming out early.

Today however we're back to the cold spells with daytime temperatures of 1 degrees C and minus 5 overnight with heavy snow. I'm off work today!

The LB years

Because I am Transgendered, I'm going to make a few posts connected directly to my personal experiences around age play, having an inner kid, being an adult little, school life and discipline from the angle of a person raised and positioned socially as a boy  even though even at that time it was plain to me I was girl albeit one in boys clothing.
Where I grew up (allegedly) it wasn't so common to have either all new clothing bought for you so you had somethings handed down from your siblings and cousins and most of my knitted wear was hand knitted by female relatives for me from patterns such as the one above and up to at least my 17th birthday whenever I visited Grandma, she always took my measurements and then show me a few patterns from which I was to select what she'd make me.
I was fortunate that quite often she'd knit me the girls version, especially buttoned cardigans while she did those for my female cousins.
My parents  always dressed me in shorts, lined proper tailored ones in part cos generally  I disliked long pants, especially jeans cos I liked to feel skin breathe so even though for the most formalist  occasions even in my mid teens generally I wore them, except for those periods I could 'borrow' a girls more formal skirt on my own.
In a lot ways I'm more Tomboy and have more in common with my Tomboy  sisters who'd wear dungarees and shorts too so being in shorts wasn't that big of a deal and to be honest I find the whole dressy side of a number in the transgendered  community a real turn off as all I wanted to be was me NOT a frilly dress or a canvas for make up and lipstick with just my name used and respected, that's all.
Although I was brought up in short and long socks, my mommy did put me in tights when I was in my teens and I wore tights at school under regular black trousers not unlike some schoolgirls do today.
I usually wore more 'blousy' shirts like with cherry motif on them or more unisex t shirts rather than anything specifically male and indeed mommy even bought me girls sweatshirts so in some ways I dressed more like a androgynous female albeit one deemed male at the time.
