As many know, I went through some changes since the beginning of the year, and for reasons I will keep personal I took down my website and along with it a webzine which was very close to my heart. However, "Knuffles, The Magazine" had filled its purpose and in some ways it was time to move on to something new. It became apparent to me that currently, a blog would be the way to go. This will give me ease of updating, and I already have several ideas on different features to publish.
Sammy of Ikklespace came up with this idea to name it something like twinkle or sparkle, and I felt that really fit my personality (and anyone who knows me knows it also fits my wardrobe). Things that are sparkly or shiny can draw my attention quickly.
Some may be new to the world of LG. This may be the first time you are reading about it. I would like to try and summarize my view, but please keep in mind this is how *I* feel, and another LG might feel differently about what and who she is. One reason we struggle so much for acceptance is because people try to fit everyone into a box they think the person should fit in ... and we don't fit in it ... so the last thing I want to do is try to make a box that says, "To be LG, you MUST be this."
LG stands for Little Girl. In some ways it crosses the Age Play or Inner Kid community, and in other ways it can cross the Transgender Community. It is not merely a subset of TG, as there are also LGs who are biologically female as well as those who are biologically male. In short, an LG is anyone who feels she has a Little Girl spirit. She may be very pronounced or somewhat hidden, she may be very outgoing or very shy.
There is a misconception that LGs all like super-frilly dresses. Note I said it is a MISconception! We have all sorts of fashion tastes, just like any other group of girls! Personally, I like velvet ... and of course, glitter or sequins. It is probably, however, a safe assumption that almost every LG has at least one petticoat (even the most "averse to frilliness" LG I know has one petticoat).
There is a misconception it is all about sex. I said I didn't want to try and force LG into a box when I started to write this - but in all honesty I don't know any LG who feels it is about sex. Most of us are very adverse to any sexual overtones (or undertones) concerning our LG personalities.
That all explained, you will be better able to understand the very "G" rated nature of this blog - we are children, and we enjoy many of the same things children enjoy. That's what will be celebrated in Sparkle - childish femininity.
I hope you will enjoy and comment.

Your point around LG not being a subset of TG is most definitely true because it works three ways:
ReplyDeleteYou may be biologically female and LG
You may cross dress self identifying as a male in your adult side but LG as your little one
You may like me be TG having both an adult female and little LG side.
Likewise we do indeed have different preferences for dress -for some 'dress' may not even be in it - but nonetheless it is identifiable little girl style of dressing.
The wonderful thing is we're all LG when we engage with our little side.
