Does anyone know what has happened to Andrea Ribeiro? Her last post was 12 December. I sent her a PM a while ago. Just worried.

Portia

“A place to discuss the more positive aspects of being transgender, with an aim toward gaining an understanding of how gender works for all of us.”

I'm totally thrilled! The first chapter of my story The New Job just reached 6,000 hits!

The only thing that confuses is that almost no one who read it more than a year after it was published (it's three years old here on Big Closet) left a comment. What's that about?

That is it for Sweat and Tears, Dear Readers. My muse is dormant now, as she has been screaming at me for the last few months and has felt the need for a rest. Thank you for staying the course, those of you who could. I knwo there are some who couldn't get past the unpleasantness, but I trust all understand it wasn't written for any salacious reason. I wanted that part of the story to be as brutal as I could manage while keeping at least some restraint and tact.

I’ve noticed as I look back over the last two months, that I spent more time wearing girls clothes than I did my guy clothes. I would even go out to the store, wearing a pair of Samantha’s jeans and a turtleneck sweater.

I just watched the movie conviction tonight wih my dad, was pretty great sad depressing entertaining serious etc. But a question that was raised in the movie made me think it myself.

If your sibling brother or sister was convicted (hopefull wrongfully) of anything that would separate the you. Would u not do any and all thing/s in your power to get them out (say become a lawyer yourself like the sister in the movie did based in rl btw)even if it meant sacrificng everyone and everything else in your life to do it just to bring them home?

I haven't written anything for a while, I've been dead busy with a new job, transitioning and having a great life. As the title of this blog suggests, I should have known it was all too good to be as perfect and wonderful as it seemed.

I could hardly believe my ears when I heard this item on the BBC News, particularly knowing how prim and proper Auntie (BBC) likes to pretend she is. We all recognise that farting in public is an anti-social–and unladylike–pursuit, but should it be against the law?

Well, right now, its hard to not to feel boxed in. The road to transition seems totally blocked by that wonderful thing, finances. I need a full time job if I am going to make any serious headway, and between the economy,and my commitments to my daughter, its hard to find one as Todd, and much harder to try and find one that will accept Dorothy, especially since I don't pass terribly well.

OKAY, NOW I'M TELLING EVERYONE.

Of course most of you will not be able to make it. Last October 14, Arecee, MonaLisa, Rachel Anne, shalimar, Heather Rose Brown & I got together in a park in Walnut Creek, CA, when Erin was up this way.

( Rachel, shalimar and I all seem to think we had one more person, but can only name the seven listed above. I'm sorry if you were there and we are missing your name.

A number of people said, "Why didn't you tell me? I would have tried to make it," or words to that effect.

Does anyone know of anyone that I could see in this area.

The next release of 300 Rains may be Sunday, as I am busy cleaning my house for my Chinese New Year party. So for those who are interested. Gong Hai Fat Choi and welcome to the year of the Rabbit.
