Thanks to phydeau for the heads up.
Many of you are not into this subject. That is as it should be. For me it is not a job but life for I have softly pushed, shared, consoled, enlightened, and debated transgender rights and issues forever it seems.

Too much time on my hands?

The next arc of Gaby book 19, Girl's on Fire is complete!

Look out for this second instalment available though the usual outlets from tomorrow. I'll post direct links as soon as I have them.

The only question now is, what's the Wunderkind gonna get up to next?

I'm not posting all the links. You may find them here if you're interested.

Many of those who frequent BCTS do so for the unbelievably excellent story telling of so many talented authors. Others come to have a place to share their own telling of stories.

This looks like a page from an admittance application for Whateley!

Gender & Sexuality

For those in the United States, don't forget to set your clocks ahead one hour tonight. At 2:00 AM most of us go on Daylight Savings Time - unless of course you live in one of the odd (not a slur, just different from the majority) areas that does not make the change.

So remember, at 2:00 AM it's really 3:00 AM - for those of us who can't sleep, we get to spend one less hour staring at the ceiling over the bed, listening to soft music, and praying that our demons remain at rest for one more night.

I'm missing LNP now that it has ended.

Anyone want to recommend something else to read? A story where the good girls win please; nothing dark---too much of that IRL.

that there wasn't an update/posting on Sunday - family day and no internet!

But here's the chapter that should have been posted - Planning for Mischief.

I was hoping to have the next chunk of book 19 ready for the weekend but a meeting Monday and a wayward muse yesterday have both impacted the time line so Part 2 could be out Sunday or it might be next Wednesday.

Well I think that's everything

enjoy

I thought that I'd try a typical British Sunday lunch. It was supposed to impress my English in laws. Simple right? Nope I can tell you it never went to plan. I got a great beef joint. That at least came out the oven right. My roast potatoes were passable I guess. The gravy was pretty good but not much can go wrong there. However, the Yorkshire pudding was more like a pancake. Chloe, our eldest just looked and said just do what you're good at in future Mom. Kate, my Mom in law brought over a trifle. Next time it'll be meatloaf. We'll dine American fare lol.

Interesting article on the KQED website about nonbinary gender people. It isn't simple anymore.

Boy? Girl? Both? Neither? A New Generation Overthrows Gender

It seems that everywhere I turn there is drama. Pretty much all my family are Republicans. A couple are pretty much centralists. Even our so called new President is nothing but a drama queen. Thanks a lot for turning the Country I love into a joke Donny J. Let's be honest Donny J Trumphas to be the biggest drama queen of all. Then there is my eldest daughter. She's seven going on twenty seven, like most kids her age I guess. That kid is so much like me it scares the crap out of me. My Mom once said to me, you know Cheryl now I know that God is just. On asking what she meant she replied.

Cheering Up, the next Gaby chapter is up now.

Okay so we'll start by linking you to todays chapter, Japan Revisited - more intrigue and gossip from Dernau!

In other news this week, the laptop that had fixed itself has fallen over again so that's looking terminal but on a more positive note, my injured leg is much better and I expect to return to more serious riding this week.

Oh and thanks to everyone who sent birthday greetings.

I am somewhat saddened this morning to realize that censorship has reared it's ugly head here.

I posted a blog late last night regarding the most recent reversal made by the Trump administration, and commented about a posting I had found on the LinkedIn site - a comment which was not only anti-TG, but ignorant and hurtful.

So here we are again, new Gaby and other stuff!

Yep, from today you can get your sticky mitts on the latest Gaby release, the first part of Book 19 - Girl's on Fire. Here's a quick sample;

OK Jim, we have breaking news coming in …

and hoping that the crowd can help.

I don't have many details on this.

1. It was a M2F transformation story

2. The main character was an enlisted man in the army.

3. There was a lot of stink (odor) as the transformation happened in the barracks' shower/bathroom area.

4. A senior enlisted Master Sargent / Sargent Major was involved and had to sneak the converted woman off the base and into "no tell" type motel/apartment.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

So Book 19 of the Gaby saga continues apace - 5 new chapters this last week!

But that's for the future you want the now and chapter 20 of Book 14, Weined Up is available here now!

Look forward to more on Wednesday

Snowfall's The Station's Late Nite Princess person of many voices reminded me of Bell Nuntita. The girl is so talented. To be able to switch voice is difficult enough. To do it and sing is a step above most. It was one reason she stayed in the competition. The other of course is her beauty.

I have just seen some amazing satire. Alec Baldwin was incredible as Trump. But I have to say Melissa McCarthy was even better as Sean Spicer. Despite being a proud, true blue Republican. Why the hell did we let Trump get this far? I'm betting that if Mr. Trump is watching it. Saturday Night Live (SNL) must really be getting to him. Please note I said Mr. Trump as he's not my President. I just hope it continues but, that being said. With that idiot in the White House they will never run out of material.

"But darling the President said to do it! I just want to 'look the part'." - Maybe he has stock in nylon stocking & cosmetic manufacturing companies. "Look the part" he said.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. A dress code for females... nice ties for the males. Does this sound fair? May as well have fun with it, eh?

Just to be perfectly clear this is NOT real. Although with the way thing seem to be heading it may not be to far in the future.

The winner of this years Costa book award went to Sebastian Barry's Days Without End. A story about the lives and love of two young men who start out as dancing girls in a saloon in the west and their time as soldiers.

This is Brokeback Mountain with requited love. Here is a link to a review from the Irish Times, apt as the author is Irish.
