I read Dorothy Colleen's entry called "A Tapestry of Stars" earlier today and I felt compelled to share something with you all. Before I do, I need to explain something. Every star on the tapestry mentioned in that story represent all of the TG men and women who have been murdered for being who they really are in the area the story takes place in.

With the turn of the year fast approaching it's once again time to release the 2012 Calendar!

This year there are pictures of both Gaby and Nena from Germany, Denmark and the 2011 Gabycon!

Order soon for pre Christmas delivery

Bye for now

I have been fighting to not post this. I did not want to introduce myself this way, but I feel that I have to. I have read so many great stories here over the last couple of weeks. Even those painful stories of abuse that I have read have been beautiful tails. They are emotional and I weep with the characters, but I am grateful for the experience.

I watch to show on the Transgender children they had a 6-8-11 year old little TGIRLS the 6 YO is soooo cute OMG so cute . The 8 YO told mom she wanted to be a witch for holloween and mom said boys are not witches on the way home she had a tamtrum in the car and on arriving home bolted out of the car into traffic trying to kill herself OMG. The 11 YO started to go into male puberty and is now on blockers, out of all of them the 11 YO was a tomboy and I think is still finding hershelf as far as being a girl.

Heard this on BBC Radio 4 this morning while I was having a shower (I rise late now I don't need to go to work :) ) Evan Davies is investigating 'Deception' as a topic and in this case he's interviewing Penny, a MtF TS about how she felt compelled to hide her true nature for so long. It's a very sympathetic treatment which seems to reflect the experience of many here from what I've read.

She was born in 1951, 11 years after me, so I know only too well the atmosphere and attitude of the general public to unconventional gender and sexual conditions, for want of a better phrase.

I have heard from TG wed site on yahoo, that C Sprite was going to give permision to allow one of her's stories to be posted on BCTS soon

just wanted to know when that was & will it have the last 3 chapters that are not on crystal site

will C Sprite be giving permisison for the other stories to be posted on BCTS also or just this story

i undestand that the author in involved in RL issue and just does not have the time to re post and or to finish the 2 stories

i'm looking forward to re reading them with the 3 new chapters, i'm just hoping its soon

thank
lol Jo Ann

Well I was up at 4:30 AM and the temp was 32 and the car said 29 in some places NOW THAT IS COLD FOR FLORIDA IN NOVEMBER . We are going up to mid 70's later and the 80's for the next week WEIRD weather for the whole country -- LOVE TO EVERYBODY RICHIE2

Grew up with a lot of veterans around me and with the stories they told me. I'm not talking about the politicans or if a war is right. I'm talking about the women and men that did the sweating, the bleeding and, sadly enough, the dying. Maurice (kind of grandpa/ KW vet Be), Tom (friend of Maurice / KO vet Be, Joe (J Hess/KW vet US), Thank you for spending time with a kid. To every vet's and the women and men currently in uniform, thank you.

For romantics everywhere

This has no transgender element in the story. However, for all of the visitors to this site who love a good romantic story this is for you.

He has arranged it all just to propose, so click the link and shed a tear of happiness.

Perhaps one of the writers on this site could use something similar in one of their stories.

Love to all

I enjoyed the program - seemed to be fair & modern views except for one doctor who alluded to TG children deciding that they would revert back to their birth gender. Not my experience for myself & those of my aquaintence.

http://www.cbc.ca/passionateeye/episode/post-1.html is the web address enjoy. I cannot figure out how to make the address a hyperlink.

Edited slightly, to eliminate some rather embarrassing errors your gentle writer has found...

Well, it does seem that I made my debut here with a bang, did I not? The massive response to my debut blog entry, on the supposed dearth of disabled protagonists in TG fiction, was completely unexpected. I thank those of you who responded, and especially those inspired to write (such as Bailey Summers and Raff01). This tells me I've chosen the right corner of the Internet in which to kick back and relax.

Some of you have no doubt wondered why I don't attempt such a story myself.

Has anyone recently had problems logging in to BC? For the last 3 or 4 days I haven't been able to open the site using http://bigcloset.ateros.com/newstuff/index.html. (That is what the computer calls up when I start typing Big....) Just to check, I went to acouple of other sites and clicked on the link to BC and they didn't seem to work either.

Here's what you've all be waiting for - more of book 9!

After reading the story A Love Like No Other by Little Katie, I started reading the stories she linked to. Two of those stories, A Different Kind of Life and How Life Can Change, are very similar as to the circumstances that befall the main protagonist (in both cases a 9 year old boy). But the behaviour of the respective parents are exactly oposites of each other.

I have a request - just drop a note here as a comment, rather than a PM.

I've written a _very_ short story - 392 words - for the Horror contest.

You see, I decided to look at the audience, and try to build upon true horror, rather than using traditional elements. Unfortunately, the story might be a bit 'over the top' for a lot of the people here. (it's also written more in the older Ray Bradbury/Golden Age SF style, although it's not SF)
