I so love being called 'sweetie'!!! Now that is a sentence that if you had asked me a few months I would have told you where to go, and even a few weeks ago I might have found my self struggling with accepting being called it! But as I move towards femininity I can understand the charm and respect the word holds.

It does of course help that one of my best friends in the whole word insists on using the word towards me and when I hear it now it almost feels like a warm cuddle!! And there are not many words you can say that about. That's why I was surprised on the stink that was kicked up on the US election trail yesterday by the use of the word.

Obama sorry for 'sweetie' comment

Barack Obama, candidate for the Democratic Party's nomination to run for US president, has apologised to a reporter for calling her "sweetie".

Reporter Peggy Agar, of the WXYZ television network in Michigan, had shouted a question as Mr Obama toured a Chrysler car plant in Detroit.

Mr Obama said: "Hold on one second, sweetie" and did not answer.
He later left a message for Ms Agar saying it was a "bad habit" and he "meant no disrespect".

Ms Agar told the Detroit News: "I've been called worse."

I just wondered if any other girls struggle with being called 'sweetie' or do they accept and enjoy it as I now do?

Indeed like the cat in this video, which funnily enough is called 'Sweetie', I almost 'Purr' when a fellow TS girl calls me it!
