2017 Review

It is the custom on to write an annual review  on a blog and That Traditional Schoolboys's Dorm is no exception where we gather trends and notable episodes and here they are usually connected to my behaviour, attitude and disciplining.
The starting point is this blog was made like the other only this year although I have been regressing  for quite a number of years and this one in particular looks more at my emotions, feelings and the role of spanking in my life as an adult schoolboy.
I try to write it in a way that is more interesting than just a few words to a picture or relay as I've seen many especially on Tumblr do on just repetitive images because when I read a blog, I hope to learn something of the individual and what this life means to them.
One thing I hope should be clear to all is it isn't a spanking blog but a blog that covers spanking in my life so my life, my emotions and feelings which do feed into situations where spanking is how I'm disciplined is covered rather more than just blogging about spanking that frankly bores the pants off me.
One thing I am  talking rather more about is how my disabilities effect me, the stress and frustrations I feel and how that can and does effect my interactions with others in part because just writing about such things as feeling your needs are ignored in the political debate and how the changes to government social programs affect and influence my responses.
Coping with changed circumstances and some of the bigger issues with my family has been a challenge but a good measure of how I've matured is I haven't kicked off over it regardless of what from my point of view is provocation. 
Another has been how the support  over the years is helping to change some of my more immature responses to situations to one where I do take more responsibility not just for myself but also for others by doing things for everyone from helping more while away to actively taking a part in preparing and cooking what we are eating.
Moving to being a passive consumer of others contributions to making a contribution.
That change has helped me come on leaps and bounds this year learning to be more mature within my limits as that adult but child schoolboy, doing what he is capable of  and that has to be good.
Another thing has been working on some of the confusion and interference by others when it comes to my own sense of gender with support from people who are prepared to actually listen, taking their cue from me.

Part of that has been encouraged to read stories around boys dealing with various issues and disabilities with a focus that was a part of my life in junior school, playing soccer with the other boys.
It's not just learning how to cope with things but also so I recall more those social bonds and from that recover that sense of deep masculinity within me so I own the  boyhood I had before all of that other stuff crept in but on my terms as that boy.
In 2017 then I'm getting the support I need to enjoy being who I am.

Establishing a mature independent you...

I recently saw this which was originally published by the artist Kittycouch in April that I thought summarized so well what trying to be a mature independently minded person with your own boundaries but also respecting other peoples ideas is about.
I just thought in a week that saw some drama in one Age Regression community and also at the spanking needs site this is somethat's needed as everything within it applies and it is I aspire to in handling differences which everyday normal things between people.

The real dysphoria for me

 Sometimes things just come to you

For so long as as it's all being going on people have been talking about how you might be different than others when they look at how you are socially and it probably is true a tiny handful of people are so at variance that perhaps they could be seen to have a gender based dysphoria.

Some people used to think I did cos I had the odd thing that was different to that more in tune with girls at that time although today that's not something you could say applied.

The real dysphoria for me was never about gender (and much of the stuff around that came more than people who had their own issues) but more age dysphoria in that I never and still don't see myself as anything remotely grown up - a man in other worlds.

I remain in most respects very much a boy, a juvenile, and my dysphoria is how that applies to how people seeing a bigger bodied me treat me inappropriately by applying judgements and standards that apply to men when it is that what is within is still very much a boy of around ten years of age and certainly no more advanced than a average twelve year old, admittedly an intelligent one.

Whatever you see on social media, there's really two genders not sixty three and counting including cross species and most of us are one with the odd personal variance.

To me it breaks down to this: 

A schoolboy can wear a kilt to school  as well as shorts or long pants and has absolutely no need unless 'he' is going through transition to girlhood to wear dresses and be called a gender he most certainly is not.

HE is even in his own individual variations a BOY and the sooner we accept that, the better.

The only thing I want to be called is a Male and a Boy and that is because it's what I am the odd variation aside.
