Fully prepared to get flamed here - along the lines of what business is it of yours.....

I was in the park yesterday, and I noticed a Thai lady with two small blonde girls. I only briefly glanced at her, and it was pretty noticeable that she was not really a lady. Although she had on jeans and a ladies sweater, and had long hair in a ponyband, unless she had some very significant hormone issues, it was a man.

There was stubble, a very masculine body shape, forearms, shoulders, hands, no hips - and he/she reacted quite aggressively when one of the girls pulled his leg when he was on the phone - pushing her off very crossly. The girls themselves looked bizzare - very unkempt, unbrushed hair, and the older one, about 3 or 4, was in a full on polyester princess outfit and nothing else.

Something didn't quite ring true - obviously, if the family knows they are employing a man not a lady, that should be OK. AIBU to have thought twice about this, though? Obv I'm not going to do anything about it - but I think its not something you see every day?

Sheeze I was having a bad day ok. My polycystic ovarys make me hairy. I can't help it. Plus the little angle brat I'm in charge of has been driving me insane all day refusing to get dressed answering back and will only dress like a princess despite being more naturally ogre like me.

I think I remember seeing you you were the blonde with perfectly manicured hair face and nails right? The one who was suffocating her dc's by freaking out everytime they moved or got a speck of dirt on them. Those poor kids. They must spend half their lives being groomed. They can't possibly enjoy themselves.

Sue, I think that a man who was obviously man was impatient with the children who were with him. He was on the phone.

Jakers, most ladyboys look more than a woman than I do. And I have massive comedy breasts.

Are we upset because he was cross dressing, mean to kids, makes poor choices in dressing up outfits or neglected to Immac? I like to keep up.

But a ladyboy wouldn't look like an annoyed man.

I want to know why the OP thinks he was a tranny just because he had long hair and a ladies (am presuming pink) sweater? Men in other cultures often have long hair and wear pink. Actually, I know men here that wear pink and have long hair. And most cross-dressers I know would actually make more of an effort when out in public, so no stubble or hairy-bits showing. Confused

Why is the colour of the chap's jumper relevant?

Bored or not it is never acceptable to be aggressive with children.
The NSPCC aren't ogers, they are there to give advice in situations where people are concerned as the OP appears to be.

Ooh Filibear, I love a bit of Handy Manny. There is an episode where another woman comes to paint a picture of the twon for the mayor. Kelly cannot hide her jealousy!

Call the NSPCC! There's a person who looks like they're bored by children.

ARRRRRRRGH!

Could have been a guy sat on a bench and someones annoying kids pestering him if he was ignoring them and flicking them away.

Just to even the witch hunt a little.
Actually, if your gut instinct is one of concern for the children then I think it is worth a phone call to the NSPCC. They offer impartial advice on such matters and will probably be able to put your mind at rest.
I actually dont think the issue is the nanny gender it is concern for the children. Don't be battered by other posters, as a decent society we should look out for each other, especially children.
