Home of the Brave

Home of the Brave

For 'Drea, just cause.

She finished the story, and turned off the computer with a sigh. It had been a good story, having some of her favorite elements. Her favorite stories were about girls who even though they had been forced to begin life as boys, had taken the steps needed to live as their true selves.

“She was so brave....” she sighed to herself, thinking again of the heroine of the story she’d just finished. “..She had to overcome so much, and yet she didn’t let that stop her.”

Football Girl~Season 2~Chapter 11

The crowds were restless. We had had a minutes silence to remember the name of our beloved chairman Alf Battersby. It was fitting that we were at home playing Weatherfield only the day after Alf had dropped dead of a heart attack...

An Ordinary Girl-RePost After Adjustments, Thanks To Readers

An Ordinary Girl-RePost After Adjustments, Thanks To Readers
Blog

By Stanman63

Here is the story as a blog.

[-][+][-]

My name is Brett Lynn Micheals, I have transitioned from a boy into a girl, thanks to my parents footing the bill for my surgery and protecting me from harm. If not for them, I'd be another of those weird statistics in the morgue either from murder or suicide.

You see, early on, I had to camouflage myself in order to avoid all of those narrow minded bigots who think that they either know what God would do, and use their learning to justify their ideas, as well as the gangs out looking to bash those that they see as different.

[-][+][-]

I found out that I was a girl born in a boy's body when Momma let me dress as Robin Hood on my fifth Halloween. I wore a green tunic and matching tights with matching sneakers. Many people thought that I was Maid Marion, instead.

Being treated as a girl made me wonder what being a girl was like, so, I asked Mother who told me. After that, I knew that I was truly a girl in a boys body.

[-][+][-]

When I told my parents about my decision, they told me that there was more to learn about. The girls like me ranged from those who were boys who like to dress as girls all the way to those whose body did not agree with their minds as well as those who want to marry other girls

WOW! I never thought that there would be such a variety! It was like a smorgasbord of genders were out there. That only convinced me that God loved variety.

They also told me about how some had varying degrees of trouble in their lives that broke or killed some while others dealt with the hurt in their lives.

I felt angry for what those girls went through because of those who could not or would not understand and vowed to become a therapist and help them like my parents do.

What really made me wonder was that my parents told me about some who are to some degree a bit of both genders. There are many differences in these who are a bit of both who are grouped under the term 'intersexed' by many, but in truth, does not truly do anything but blind people to certain conditions in others.

[-][+][-]

From Wood Lake Elementary School all the way to Wood Lake High School, I wore the girl's uniform and passed as a girl, thanks to an orchiectomy done thanks my parents calling in a favor from Unca Joe. Now, all that I have is a penis kept under a gaffe so that I could pass as a girl.

Unca Joe is Dad's brother. He is a surgeon who does the surgery that lets a boy become a girl, too bad he can't make them into Momma, though. The 'official' reason for my orchiectomy was that I got hit with an arrow to avoid any complications. At the same time, I was injected with something that caused me to generate estrogen, naturally.

But even so, I knew that I could NEVER experience menses, vaginal sex, or childbirth. Oh how I want to be like them! But because of an accident in Mother's womb, I was born in with a plumbing problem.

There are many names and labels foisted upon us by the ignorant and narrow minded bigots, but we know who we are and only ask to be accepted. Why can they not accept us? Well, anyway, we are a family made up of many sisters who accept each other.

[-][+][-]

I had to listen to Mother to know what menses was like and about when I'd go through it IF I was a girl in body. My biggest worry was that when I said that I went through my menses, the girls would want to explore.

Luckily, my parents took me to a surgeon who had me to sit in that strange chair made for the examination of women and TUCKED what I had up inside of me to give me a realistic vagina. BUT for a of its authenticity, I still could not participate in vaginal sex as I had no depth.

No, it was not until my surgery that I could truly be like most women, except that I could not give birth to my very own children. Oh, I could actually carry a child IF the fetus was implanted, but it would be by C-section, NOT by vaginal delivery. And I MIGHT be able to breastfeed.

Having no testosterone in my system, I went through a girl's puberty. And thanks to being on blockers, my body produced it's very own estrogen, so that I have a girl's body.

I can also detect OTHER girls like me as well as crossdressers by seeing the subtle telltale signs that most are blind to. As a therapist, I do what I can to help them, often working with others who are dedicated to helping out.

Alvin Leonard Micheals and I grew up together, and he saw through my disguise. But instead of outing me, he helped me to keep my secret and is my only lover. We were surprised to learn that I actually have a vaginal canal, meaning no need to dilate, but unfortunately, I can't give birth. Oh well, the just means more cuddling.

Sarah Carerra - 2.40 - The Best Day

sc2.jpg There was a small stack of presents on the table that we made Mom open before I had to go get ready, and by the time I stepped into Sarah's room to put on the wig I knew that she had already had a great day.

My song was totally going to make it the best birthday ever.

Manny and Maude - 4 - Who's the Fairest

With his journey more than half complete, Andy the Auroch sees a chance to rest his weary hoofs when his wagon reaches Everlong Faire. Their he hopes to renew his burgeoning relationship with with Angie the Auroch. However, since Angie has not yet arrived, which caused Andy to spend most of his time eating and sleeping, let us focus on the other members of our intrepid threesome, Manny and Maude. Particularly since a colleague from the past threatens to tear them team apart.

Thougts on Spectre.

For those of you who have followed Shades of Grey, thank you. Thanks for the comments, the speculation, the arguments about justice vs vengeance, and mostly just for staying with me through the whole, largely uncomfortable story.

It has been noted that I never did say what my idea of justice is through the whole thing. No, I didn't and I won't do that here. I don't do politics, since in my experience, discussions like that tend to result in lots of arguments and bad feelings. Everyone has their own sense of justice, and nothing anyone else says is going to change that, right?

Big Question

Now that I Am The Night is winding down, there's a chapter and an epilogue left, my question is what to do next. I have two more Retcons I want to do plus an original story of mine that has been kicking around in the back of my head for a bit. The first Retcon is about the Teen Titan Raven and the second is about a really cool character---I'm not willing to spoil who that is yet though.

Some time ago, someone, and I don't remember who, posted a blog that had something to do with a site that streamed Mystery Science Theater 3000, 24/7. If that person is still visiting here, please PM me, as I have some really good news for you about the site and the chatroom there.

Talk about timing

I have been a member at Big Closet Topshelf for exactly four years today. I find it ironic that I just removed all my stories and want to cancel my account on this day and didn't even realize what it was. To all of you I want to say have a good life even those of you who identify as Transgender. Personally I'm just sick of the Whole Transgender thing and feeling like I'm being swallowed up by it against my will.

Would that not be wonderful?

Hi everyone.

Been busy again. My last few books have sold well, so thanks for your support. If things go as they are I may be able to cut back on paid work and give more time to writing, which will mean I should be able to finish my free postings.

I have just completed another book:-
QUEEN OF HEARTS

Rode in the Pride parade today

Well, I just got back from riding in the Pride parade. My local TS group made an entry, and I got to ride in the truck and blow bubbles at people. Two things about this experience come to the front of my mind: First, being IN the parade means you dont actually see it, and second, I found it odd to have people waving and smiling at me, and taking my picture. Normally, I'm pretty shy, so it was a different experience for me. Was fun, though.

Cathyland the tour

A few days ago, I sent a word document to a friend to give her a smile and perhaps think about a tour of Portsmouth, where I live.

As all you merry band of followers of EAFOAB or ‘Bike’ or even The Daily Dormouse will know, this is where the story is based.

There is Dickensian London, Bronte Country and even Hardy’s Wessex. But we have a new addition; Cathyland.

Many thanks for Puddintane for all the help and advice in making the following possible, the errors are mine alone.

Ride off

The story is as tied up as I intended to make it. Healing is in progress, the back story is revealed, all of the rest is dressing and side dishes. The dramatic tension is resolved. I intended to stop the story there, though I may be tempted to write a set-piece for nuptials, or similar events.

Edited to add: I am open to persuasion....

Between One Step and the Next, Part 4

Between One Step and the Next, Part 4
 

Well folks, here is the conclusion of this story. Sorry it took so long, and sorry if its not up to my usual standards. As always, comments are appreciated.
 

When Sam woke, she had an inexplicable feeling of joy coursing through her heart. She floated into the bedroom, grabbed some clothes, and went to have a shower and get changed. After she was dressed, she came out and started making breakfast.

Tina came out of the bedroom, and said, “Something smells good …. Sam?”

Down, and then back up again

Well, I had a roller-coaster of a shift, emotional-wise. I started pretty down, as I was still hurting in my privates, which sucked on so many levels it pushed me right into the depths. But, things got better as the shift went along. First, by the time I got off shift, I was dong pretty good pain wise, and then in the car I heard this song called "Dam. girl" and for some reason, I pictured myself as the object of the singer's praises, strutting my stuff as he sang. I don't know why, but I'll take it.

More Health Update

Okay, so here's what's going on.

I have Torticollis that snaps my head to the left, wrenching my neck and back, severe muscle spasms in my left shoulder that cause it to come right and my depression symptoms are on the rise. I have a hard time focusing on anything, etc... The VA is sending me to a Movement Disorder clinic whenever they get around to it, so who knows when that will occur.

Back to work!

Well, the surgery went well, and maybe now I can focus on writing again. I've been very distracted about this surgery. The surgeon is the same one who cut off my left leg, she's one of the best in the area, and I was worried that they would find osteomylitis in my right leg. Losing both legs would be a real problem!
Fortunately, that isn't the case (YAY!), and I'm much more comfortable (if a little bit sore). I hope to have a new "Sweets Life" chapter posted soon!

I know a number of your are eager to continue to read this story. I'm sure you will be glad to know that your wait is almost over.

An experiment too far.

I knew nothing about this until today, although I did know about the Afro-American experiments which were disgraceful--this is breathtakingly disgusting, and to think the nation running these experiments fought against Nazis like Dr Mengele.

Plot line in 'What Light'

This is the end of act 2. Act 3 is the final act.
I realise the plot for this story is confusing because of the variety of characters. I did not intend it to be. What happened is that the story gave birth to characters without my intending it to.
It probably has 2 or 3 different characters for their own stories. I do believe it is not too confusing.
Everything shall become clearer in part 3.

The kindness of strangers - Part 2

At long last - and it's well overdue - we now own our house in France.

Our last trip over was a bit of a nightmare actually. The first day there was a Sunday and like England back in the deep recesses of the seventies, nothing was open. Fortunately we'd taken food and stuff with us and were looking forward to staying in our French home.

Things however, didn't turn out to be quite that simple...
