Ted Talks of interest to the community

This morning a came across an article about having gender dysphoria and living a normal life. http://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/id-rather-be-a-gi...

Hello all. :)

It’s been well over a year since I posted on this site and boy what difference a year makes!

Yay for us. We already hit 100 signatures on the petition and I'm getting read to make the next move (media involvement). I really think this is important. It is about equality, but also about recognition that transgender literature and people are not all about sex. I am keeping the petition open for a week as I figure things out this Easter weekend. I would love for people to look at the intended letter going to Amazon and give some pointers or suggestions to make it better.

Keep signing and thanks.

Here's the link. I can't do graphics or I'd have confetti falling.

This was written fourteen years earlier after she was gone. You don't have to believe. I didn't at the time. However some of us are..., different. Me? Let's just say I'm a "reader". I didn't know I was different. I thought everyone saw movies or pictures when they touched another person. I digress, this is about Megan who changed my perspective on reality.

Many years back she came into my life kind of like an Oklahoma whirlwind, confusing, bubbly, and talked a mile a minute.

OK you all know how loony my life is at times. This one will have you rolling on the floor! :)

I'd like if any of those here that would be willing to help me with a count. I'm curious as to the audiences here.

So...

So yesterday I started my petition to Amazon. I really should have done it much sooner because it is something that frustrates me to no end. Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords etc. have no dedicated transgender fiction genre and expect us to lump our work either under gay and lesbian or erotica. I don't think either is fair or right. But Amazon isn't going to do something solely for me, so I got organized.

Recently I watched a TV programme about the Prophets of Science, Asimov being my favourite. Anyway in one of the articles I heard the phrase "Augmented Reality" about implanted video displays and cameras that take facial recognition to a personal level. Of course we all know that this would be great as we get older and struggle to remember where we know someone from or even what there name is.

Later in the programme they talked about the process where brainwaves can be used to control limbs, devices, or communicate with others. Here comes the weird thought for a new story.

There are a great many things I can say about me.

I was broken.

I'm healing.

I'm still not who I want to be.

I'm no longer who I was.

I was doomed to be trans, no matter what.

How does this rating system work? I don't want to short change any of the authors.

As I'm away next week i'll try to do an update here at the weekend to tide you over!

Can you believe that Amazon doesn't have a transgender fiction genre, even though there are over 1500 titles available. To put that in perspective, it does have a Transgender memoir section with under 200 titles. I think that needs to change because fiction is a great way to educate while entertaining. Please sign and share this petition. Thank you, Katie Leone (Transgender fiction writer and a good one).

Whats happened to Duty Calls, was coming out regularly then stopped, anyone know what's happening to it?

I posted Summer Girl yesterday and I put a tribute to Big Closet and to Stanman. I did put a few of my favorite stories into the story, so I hope you'll read it. Enjoy...I'm going to work on Tarja now.

Okay, I may have asked this before, but I'm a little frustrated.

I seem to have struck a note in mentioning that I was thinking of living in my car and camping for a couple months. I was looking at it as more of an extended camping trip away from the city in far North Eastern Oregon. It has been my experience so far that if one can get more than 100 miles or so from the big city, there is just less trouble.
