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.

We have one of my favorite authors having a Birthday today. It is Paula Dillon's Birthday today and want to wish her a safe and many healthy birthdays to come and keeps writing us many stories to in the near future too! Thanks! Richard

Looking for a story about a disease attacking high school age teen boys transforming them to women, of course. Principle character undergoes change but nearly bleeds to death due to complication. Saved by doctor specializing in the disease.

We have been having rain now for 2 weeks , A low has parked over us and rain fall is NUTS, 6 inches plus per day in so of our locals
Rivers are at flood stage and this is sandy Florida where rain just going in to the ground . We are looking at 3 or 4 more days of rain at 70% plus each day

Just for grins and giggles!

It’s important to remember to drink responsibly. But for those of you who are likely to ignore this advice, here’s a fun lesbian drinking game to make the office party or lesbian happy hour even happier.

The Lesbian Drinking Game

Once again someone in politics doesn't even have the decency to become educated enough to make an informed decision before making policy decisions which affect all of us in some way or another. We wonder why our battle is so difficult and always seems to be uphill?

I can't say it often enough. Don't put one's self in a non defensive position. I know everyone wants to be accepted. Predators are the most accepting kind. One time I made a list for not only TG but any person to follow for safety. Especially TG and women need to be extra alert of their surroundings and the body count in that clear space. If anyone is closer than ten feet make sure one's hand is wrapped around mace, pepper spray, or other weapon. Because of my lifestyle I pack heat, usually on my hip with a shirttail draped over it. More than once I have uncovered my defense.

Well It looks like Angharad got her wish: "Britain's Chris Froome wins the Tour de France for second time." The way to go Chris! Richard

I have noticed a distinct decline in the number of posts to BC in the last couple of weeks. Is this a trend or coincident?

N.J. university healthcare plans to cover genital reconstruction surgery

This news is two years old but come up in the search engine when I brought up some other data I had read last month.
More Elite Colleges Are Covering Sex-Change Surgery and Other Transgender Student Needs

As the follow-up to the National Transgender Discrimination Survey (NTDS), the 2015 U.S. Trans Survey will become our community’s go-to source for information about the lives and experiences of trans people.

More than 6,400 people took the NTDS, and over 7,000 people have already pledged to take the 2015 U.S. Trans Survey when it becomes available on August 19th. But we’re far short of the 20,000 pledges we need to ensure we double the number of people who complete the U.S. Trans Survey from the NTDS.

I just wish to say thanks to all the authors whom have shed light on my world in the form of entertainment. My life seems so bleak and hopeless at times, i.e. today, and it is such a wonderful thing to be able to escape into a good story and forget the depression and hopelessness. I am reminded of doing the same as a child/teenager because the story always ended in the positive. I know mine won't and today I just don't care!!

Yup, my first weekend without work and the first weekend Gaby posting!

The stories listed under the "More Like This" section, how are they chosen? (Drove my parents nuts always asking for explanations!) I've seen a couple that the recommended stories were not anywhere close to the story chapter they were appended to.

i was trying to recall one of the story that i have read on here its about a boy in is collage ages where he his girlfriend and his best friend go and see a stage hypnosis. After hes hypnotized he can only see him wearing girls cloths even though he was wearing boys cloths. I remember the first part during the stage hypnotists he said that it he was wearing his star wars t shirt and not the Alice in wonderland dress that he saw him self wearing. I just cant remember the name of that story it was really good.

If anyone is interested there are some utube videos that have a tg theme. Links below
