Daddy raised pigs along with about everything else. Reading some of the posts about pigs everyone had their own unique experience with them four legged plows. At any given time dad would have over a thousand pigs. He said, "They smelled like money." He could triple the market price, for milo and wheat, by running it through the pigs as feed. Instead of selling his grain he recycled it through the pigs. I guess he did it right. He always received top market dollar for his pigs at the livestock auction.

Hon, you have been giving me information about horses I never knew. I wasn't questioning your wisdom about horses nor your data you have posted. My knowledge is strictly farm knowledge growing up with the critters.

Wow! if it is enforceable, this is a major plus for the transsexual community as a whole in the United States. My question will be, will this ruling only affect those who are on Obama Care insurance or will it become inclusive to all health care policies for everyone across the nation? I have not been an Obama supporter but I will change much of my protest of his policies if he can make this stick. I know that the religious right will fight this tooth and nail. I just hope in the end they get their teeth knocked out.

In chapter 1 of the Dark Realms story, My So Called (Un)Life, Loki has the protagonist sitting on a rooftop, performing Bother by Stone Sour. I followed the link, snagged the video, and uploaded a reprocessed version with an uncensored audio track.

Erin, I can't add a chapter II to the series Horse Talk. I don't have a "my stories link" or a way to edit the story. Might have to do with others posting my stories before I ever logged onto BC.

If you can and don't mind, add Chapter II to the second Horse Talk post. If it is too much trouble ignore it. The readers can figure it out. I'll be sure to add chapter numbers from here on out.
thanks

Life is meant to be lived, not worn until worn out.

Sadly, another case of those outside looking in thinking TG is a mental disorder. The lady has had drugs, alcohol addiction, mental depression. (can anyone understand why?) Now she's not fit to make a decision and live the life she seeks?
A transgender woman whose parents went to court Wednesday to block her gender-reassignment surgery said she would rather die on the operating table than continue living with male anatomy.

By the way, love her dress. She has good taste in fashion.

Lots of history about others who wore women's clothes long before this. The Danish Girl is probably the first to transition?

Thinking about posting a story after I mentioned it and someone asked. It is NOT a life shift story. In other words, non transexual or transgender. I started it years back, forgot it until last couple days. It is a couple hundred pages long and NOT finished. I have more unfinished stories than I'm going to tell. I'm not even sure myself. Couple dozen? Who remembers the stories they wrote anyway? Start a story, real life calls, forget the story before I get back, and maybe remember it years later if something jogs the circuits in the mind?

Story about a brother and sister brother was always pick on at school so as they got older sister was getting tired of it so much that one day as the two of them was driving home she saw them she ran them over the brother loving his sister so much took the blame for it they found him guilty. Ended up on death row. The government knew he was innocent but had to make it look good they turn him into a girl. Hope some one remembers the story thank you.

Two topics:

• Bathroom use is going to be a major issue, "Bathroom Gate" is back again.
• LGBT discrimination, and many political issue for those of the LGBT community.

I just looked for Kitn's story, 'The Rusted Blade' and was unable to find either it or even an author named Kitn. I was going to read it again but it seems to have been removed.

Edit: I just went into check the post and see if it turned out ok and lo and behold down below were links to the story. DOH!! lol Not sure why I couldn't find it using the search feature though.

A lot of niggling little health issues have kept me away for about 19 months, but, I’ve dodged the major problems that often come with age: Heart, cancer, stroke, and diabetes have so far passed me by… So far.

What I’ve discovered is; Getting older ain't for wimps.
In Feb of 2014 I had all my lower teeth extracted after 4 abscesses that had caused constant sinus infections for 2 years. The dentist: “Gee, I never noticed that before but I don’t think teeth would cause that…” In the last 19months I only had 1 sinus infection.

I'm going to give you two links. One is the Vanity Fair article.

Time has made a world of difference in how trans are accepted. Christine Jorgensen was outed and every low class photo of her looking like a male in drag was posted in magazines and newspapers. Every derogatory crass remark about what an abomination she was, was written and repeated a thousand times.

I just posted the first chapter of a novel length story I am writing, but didn't get things exactly right. 1) How do I make my name show up as author instead of "New Author"? 2) How do I select multiple topics in the header categories (where it is allowed)? 3) I posted in an epub format, but what format should I use so that the story is actually visible without having to download the file. 4) How do I link chapters?

Sorry, that address SHOIULD be " [email protected] "

Please, I need to contact those authors!

Am I the only one who has no idea what cosplay is, much less what the characters represent?

For anyone who is interested, my fiancee has designed and posted an new design of a transsexual banner which I hope you all will share. It is so true and hopefully will get the message out to all who read it and re-post it.

Here is the link. It is not copyrighted so feel free to share.

In the last couple of days, I've seen the *same* stories appear on the "Random Solo" several times.

Just now, for example Giddy Up Go - The Real Story by Carla Ann showed up when I refreshed the page. It showed up about 12 hours back as well. This is the 4th or 5th time I've had a story show up again. In the last 2-3 days.

Also, some authors seem to show up rather frequently. Though this may just be because they have a lot of stories here. :-)

Back when I was a teen, I was definitely fairly trans. Though I hadn't a clue that such a thing existed.

I recall things like standing in front of a full length mirror with my boy parts tucked back between my legs. And trying to tape things back inside for a smooth front. Never could get the tape to hold though...

Then I found a book mom had been reading. I read it. And it was my introduction to transexuality. It was also why I didn't even *think* about it for a number of years afterwards.

The book? Myra Breckenridge by Gore Vidal.

I checked on the site and got an error, and saw "Guru Meditation."

This reminded me of days long ago sitting in the corner of my bedroom with my Amiga. I loved that little comp. It was just way too far ahead of its time.

Home town isn't large enough to hide identities nor secrets. We knew which family was cheating on whom We knew whom was dating whom in Jr. High and High School. There was also the local gossip mill about the girls who spread and those who didn't and which boys were active.

That's been years back and personally, I tuned out then and never cared. Honestly, maybe I might but didn't have time. My parents owned a dairy farm. Seven days a week, every day started at 4:30 and quit at 9:00 every night if not nursing sick livestock or harvesting. Then the days got longer.

I got me a new tablet, and when I brought up the Big Closet sight, low and behold, the Aphrodite add was at the top of the page, and it appeared almost instantly. I swear, I almost jumped because it really did look like they were going to "poke" me in the eye. It took me a good half and hour to stop laughing.

looking for another story don't know I saw it here . it a teen boy who going on the other side of the country to go to collage . to get away from his controlling mother. when he get there found that he was giving a room in the females dorm because his name could been for both so as he was unpacking his room mate came in he didn't know at the time he was in the wrong dorm. it went from there she help him out dressing up as a girl. things where good for him till his mother show up. come to find out the girl came from old money. I thing she starting giving him homes.
