Hello,

I read this article in today’s Daily Mail. Whilst this is a positive story, some of the comments on the web site leave me fuming. See the article for yourself:

I wish the family all the love and strength they need over the next few years.

Love to all

on my account and realized i've just celebrated my first birthday, Thanks everyone for making my time here so very enjoyable, But most of all my thanks to Erin and all her helpers, Because without all there hard work, I would'nt be writing this.

Over the year i have been reading all the wonderful stories posted on BCTS, I have seen more and more authors realize that if they want there work published on a site which tries to respect everyone's views then this is the place to be. Long may that continue.

I just realized, it seems to no longer be on the site. O_O

Does anyone know what happened to it? Can't remember who wrote it either.

I've just posted the first part of a new series here on BC, http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/17906/jamie-and-peach-01

Hope you like it, i'm planning on taking it a long way!

It's based loosely on the Yubisaki Milk Tea Manga, if you've read that i'm sure you'll like this!

Feb. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Costs incurred in sex-change operations and procedures are tax-deductible, the U.S. Tax Court ruled.

The Washington-based court ruled yesterday that hormone therapies and sex reassignment surgeries are necessary to treat gender identity disorder, a disease, in the case of a Boston- area man who became a woman named Rhiannon O’Donnabhain.

“The Court is persuaded that petitioner’s sex reassignment surgery was medically necessary,” Judge Joseph Gale wrote in a 69-page decision for the majority.

After many false starts and a few shaky falls I am thankful to say ... my operations are not only scheduled for July in Thailand, but paid for. It is never easy this road we travel on, but I have to state, it is satisfying; especially as I check off my mental checklist. I am so excited.

I am grateful and humbled with all who have supported me, and encouraged me to get this far. 5 more months, then the next chapter in my life begins.

But if you accept that there is such a thing as reincarnation and then by definition accept that in your previous live's you would almost certainly been a member of the opposite sex , Would that then explain why some TG folk feel that they have been born in the wrong body..... Maybe the memories of their previous happy life are so strong that they yearn to return to those days.

Of course the more likely scientific answers as too why we feel the need to change sex are most probably the real answer...But i guess it always pays to keep an open mind!

Sitting here during the biggest storm in the last 5 years, with a extremely sore throat, feeling like something the dogs found under the rose bush, one can get a bit melancholy.

I saw the current issue of ESPN-The Magazine at the bookstore today, and the last page, which always has a column by Bill Rielly (formerly at Sports Illustrated) contained a very nice eulogy for the transgendered sportswriter who killed herself (himself?) a few months back. It seems Rielly and his wife had taken her under their wings after she started transitioning, having been friends with him before. I'll try and go back and pick up a copy tomorrow if I can, but it is the one one the newsstand right now, they have two issues a month. It was very touching, and had me wiping my eyes.

I was going to meet a friend and go out on a girl's night out with her.

I'm not sure whose idea the "random solos" was or who implemented it, but I imagine if it wasn't you, then you at least had a big hand in it.

I've thoroughly enjoyed reading stories I haven't seen for a long time, and I know it's the only explanation why my own meager three stories keep accumulating a few hits per week.

No one could convince me that I'm on any par with the best story writers here, but I did post them hoping that others might enjoy or otherwise find something of value in them. Evidently others are still at least opening the links.

Today I have been a member of this wonderful site for, as the clock in "My Accout" shows 52 weeks and 3 hours.

It has been great fun and I have met a lot of wonderful people here, and read lots of great well written and interesting stories. Thanks to Erin and the others who run this site. I also took the plunge and sent in a small donation in celebration of my anniversary.

The newspaper headline:

Sex-change officer recovering after being hurt at checkpoint

Sometimes, I wish the media would just report the news, and not try to sensationalise it. The officer was just doing her job, and her gender status had nothing to do with the incident, afaik.
[Click the headline to read the story.]

This story should have been reported as: “Police officer hurt at checkpoint.”

Hi all,

Just wanted to update my internet family (that is you all in case you are not paying attention) on my transition. I have just completed my second to last milestone (or back out option) and got my breasts augmented. As is typical for transgendered, I did not have lots of room so was only able to implant (boy do I love that word ... IMPLANT) 401cc's. Basically, I am now a full 38b and love it. The operation happened on Friday, and other than minor pain, I am able to enjoy the results of my doctor's handy work.

I wondering about the mechanics of wearing a long ankle length skirt during the winter? Besides thinking I'm just crazy as its 16 out today with a wind chill of-5. Any ideas or........

I've been searching for a story nad have not had much luck. I don't remember the title or character names. THe gist of the story is that a young man in his teens or early 20's was magically put into the body of a girl the same age. His body dies and he has to live her life. He now she has a boyfriend/fiance who in his previous life as msle was his best friend. Evnetually they get married and she realizes she is truly in love with him and he figures out who she was and all that.

Before I get going, I really did enjoy having a few days away over the Christmas period with Mum and Bessie (her yellow labrador).

However, on arriving back, I discovered the disadvantages of:
a) being a BCTS addict,
b) Going offline for a few days,
c) Reading so many concurrent stories on BTCS...

So Happy holidays to every one and I truly hope you will have a great time with your family and friends. I guess the nicest thing about holidays is the ability to spend time with people you love , so do it ( and the vacation from work/school certainly help ;))

From My family to all of the Authors and Editors on BCTS, my family extends warm wishes during this holiday season. The season is blessed season to celebrats family and the joy we all have with family and remembering our LOrd Jesus Chirst whom graced us with love and acceptance as his children.

Just got this off the News Wire:

Mexico City assembly legalizes same-sex marriage
Mexico City lawmakers on Monday made the city the first in Latin America to legalize same-sex marriage, a change that will give homosexual couples more rights, including allowing them to adopt children.

Well a first time for everything, right? Not a lot to get off my bra-covered boobies. A quick note, I enjoy this site. With that short sentence, I will also wish ye all a Merry Christmas.
Grace unto ye all.

This morning driving to work I was listening to the local community college's radio station. At the top of the hour, Headline News from NPR came on. Something was said about the economy, and someone's sound bite was played. He was talking about disparities between economic and unemployment recovery, saying employers have been finding ways to get by with fewer resources. What he said hit one of my exposed nerve endings. His sentence ended with "making do with less employees."
