I had Dee being either a girlfriend or step-mom of Chloe and yes, Chloe is his son and is possibly transgendered, or going through a phase. <br /><br />I was raised Catholic, and I can also understand that whole welcoming thing, but the upper echelon of Catholicism and its leaders is much different than the "on the streets" practice in the pews on Sunday. I had a relative who worked for a church, and they had an attending family that had 4 kids, all with different last names and 3 were different ethnic backgrounds (they all were the mother's kids with different fathers) and the church couldn't have been more welcoming to them, especially since the area in general is liberal. Would the diocese be ticked off about "Chloe"? .. more than likely. Would the church parish itself have accommodated her? I'm betting 35 percent would be in favor and I live in a very Catholic area. I know it is probably more wishful thinking, but if we can have captions with instantaneous gender changes, I love to think we could have understanding religious leaders too LOL<br /><br />And depending on which branch of protestantism you look at, Chloe would be much more accepted in certain faiths than in Catholicism, no doubt about it.<br /><br />Thanks for liking my explanation. I didn't think there was a way to "lose" when it came to writing the caption .. I like what I wrote, but perhaps I think my readers "won" more in their interpretation of what I created than what I thought when I conceived it initially.Dee Mentiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798903090538917010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-45563915642342572962015-06-08T09:38:48.377-04:002015-06-08T09:38:48.377-04:00Dee,

It’s not for any religious/sacrilegious reasons as I’m firmly on the agnostic bandwagon and respect other’s beliefs as they present them. But it keeps me thinking in circles… is Dee a girlfriend? A friend? She’s not Chloe’s mother (… your child…). Is Chloe his son? As in they don’t know if dressing as a girl is just a phase, or if she’s truly transgendered? <br /><br />Now that I think about it, it MAY be a religious problem. Not a problem with the religion itself, but my interpretation of Catholicism. I just can’t picture a Catholic church being very welcoming to a father/son coming to their first communion dressed up in female garb. <br /><br />As for ‘Invisible Touch’, I really like your version better after your explanation. It’s now a cap on several levels. You wrote it with the intent of letting the reader decide if he’s insane or not… well that worked. We just all went with the magical/insane path as opposed to the devious lie path. <br />Caitlyn Maskedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732033913089350905noreply@blogger.com
