It was my birthday yesterday. I got about 12 cards which was nice. I had a sales meeting at work. They knew it was my birthday and got me a cake and a crate of beer. During lunch someone asked me what my family had got me for my birthday. Nothing I replied. She couldn't believe it.
I said I had to leave at 6AM to get here so perhaps later.
Do trans women have more problems in the UK or USA?
Much of America seems a lot more religious than the UK. Our official religion is Church Of England, that usually means going for christening', weddings and funerals for most of us. C of E accept trans people now.
I was thinking of writing a reverse version of Y the Last Man. In the series and the book (graphic novel) the women are pretty screwed , Most of the world's infrastructure is still kept running by men. In a prophetic line about truck drivers the new president says that the country was run on trucks delivering things. She says only 5% of truck drivers are women. (there is a shortage of truck drivers currently in a few countries since covid) A dam breaks and floods towns as there is no one to fix it. Power is off etc.
It shows a boy dressed as a girl dancing to Edge of 17 causing destruction around the house. Stupid advert , as I'll get a child to smash my 2 year old TV and get a new one if I know they'll pay out for wanton destruction. it's a remake of a five year old advert where a girl does the same, albeit with less destruction.
One the comments got 754 thumbs up's in 3 days.
"Male ‘expresses himself’ with zero regard for the negative impact on the females around him. The patriarchy in action. Clever work John Lewis"
What it is to be a woman, I asked on here and got some good answers. I asked it on a contact site I have been of for a few years and started world war 3! There are 15 pages so far. Mainly 3 or people arguing.
I put a comment on there this morning and there have been a 112 posts since then.
The main argument started about Professor Kathleen Stock , who has strong views on "intact" trans women. Then it just took off. A lot of people on there have axes to grind.
I don't think you can see without an account though.
The story I am writing at the moment has the main character wanting to be a woman, but not wanting any surgery (currently) . It has raised the question for me. What is is to be a women.
Is it the clothes you wear? The role you have in society? The way you act and interact? Your Chromosomes? Or the fact you possess a cervix.
The last one is something a Labour MP has said "only women have a cervix". So is she saying trans men aren't men or women born without a cerix or have had it removed aren't women?
In the UK this weekend there has been some debate after an MP received death threats when her views on trans women were made public.
She does have history.
The Who song I'm a boy was written by Pete Townsend . The song was originally intended to be a part of a rock opera called 'Quads' which was to be set in the future where parents can choose the sex of their children. The idea was later scrapped, but this song survived and was later released as a single.
It was never clear if it was intended to be about a boy who was treated as a girl, or a girl that wanted to be a boy.
I posted a short story on Literotica recently , or rather I tried . it was A Conversation with Mother - Secret Girl, I even took the part out where he asks his mother if he cut his extra bit off, would he be a girl.
So all innocent stuff, the sort you would have on a daytime TV discussion.
I recently had a row with my wife. She told me I bottle everything up and I don't show my emotions. What I wonder is this because I'm a man? Or is it due to the fact that I longed to be a girl?
My wife knew I liked to occasionally dress before we married, when the kids come along I was forbidden to do it and still am. I do everything without her knowledge now. Hotel stays when working, fishing holidays etc, allows Leeanna time.
I wrote this after responding to a self castration story, and a suicide storie.
This deals with those of us that are born with a small extra amount of flesh between our legs, that stamps us as male, and set us on a fixed course in life.
I often wonder. If men and women were treated the same, dressed the same, played the same roles in society. Would those that hate their bodies feel the need to end it, or remove the offending parts?
I was on Fictionmania a few days back. I read a story where teenage boys were fed hormones by their mothers after fighting at school.
It was fairly normal stuff, it wasn't particularly badly written. It was by an author called Metmanmornge.
There were a few nasty reviews. One said it was so bad it should be deleted. Another said it made no sense as the boys would beat their mother to death before this happened etc. It was pointed out that the site was called Fictionmania, and the story was fiction. I suggested if people didn't like it, they should just stop reading.
I love reading stories about female run worlds. There are several I am reading at the moment. Some it is just men being treated as 2nd class citizens, sort of payback in way.
Some where all the women seem to be dominatrix's. They beat and punish their men , or dress them as women to humiliate them.
Some on BDSM sites where guys are all castrated, not my cup of tea.
A great example of this is the worm that turned by the two Ronnies , this was a series on their show.
