My mom's death

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Just two days after Thanksgiving my main supporter in being transgender died at the age of 67. She had been suffering for fifteen years with work related Asthma and Fibromyalgia. My mother had even supported me when I lost my job by loaning me money to live on while I looked for a new job. My current job is about to run out in January and she had left me enough money to live on for the next couple of years and a house to live in.

Tears in the ears

Did you ever cry while lying on your back?

Today was my third electrology session, this time for the upper lip.
Because of the bright light some tears ran down - directly into my ears.

Then I somehow thought about the english translation and had to post this blog entry ;)

Did you know Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer was a girl?

It is said:

In the Northern Hemisphere in winter, generally the male reindeer will shed their antlers, the female reindeer (being one of two female breeds who have antlers) will maintain their antlers to allow for clearing of snow for foraging so as to support their young.

Merry Christmas everyone at BC, thanks for all your great stories in 2011.

I had a very interesting conversation this morning. I am finishing up a graduate degree at a local university. This morning while waiting for a class to start, a girl I know pretty well from my program comes up to me and asked me "Listen, this might be a bit forward but can I ask you something kind of personal? You can say no of course, but I'm curious." Of course it's rarely good when someone opens a conversation like that, but not totally new to me. I have a very obvious physical disability, so I get curious people brave enough to come ask a few questions from time to time.

Dreams

Author: 

For many many years now I have had similar dreams from time to time.

It always starts in familiar place which then turns more and more unknown till I'm complete lost and wake up.

In one version I'm in school or college with my classmates and after some time I don't recognice the rooms and floors any more and don't find my way back.

In another one I'm parking my car in my home town and visit some places with friends or family. Then towards the end I cannot find the street with my car or search all around the parking garage before waking up.

It makes almost 3 years since I decided to 'join up' here. (going at 2y and 45 weeks at the moment).

Still no solution to any of my problems (see previous blogs) Just wanted to thank you peepz for
cheering me up with your stories and the few mails I received. You peepz together with a few other
online friends are what keeps me hoping for better days and not just plain giving up and 'freezing'
everthing out. Okay my pets also helped with that :).

Thanks

a little about me

Author: 

I am scared, scared of society, scared of judgment, scared of pain, scared of emotional hurt.

I have lived through my emotional pain, first when i was 12 and found i did not fit into society. Then at 21 when i was raped, and again when I lost my mother, the only person to ever accept me fully as nothing but her child with unconditional love, at 29.

Ok, so I had a weird experience tonight. It started yesterday. I flew out to my parents place for Thanksgiving and got in yesterday afternoon.

My small contribution

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.

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.

One to One

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

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.

My character scares me...

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Hi...

Did you ever experience that one of your characters started to scare you? It just happened to me with the protagonist of my most recent story. He started out in a rather bad situation and I invented reasons for him to be there. I filled him with life and realized I made somekind of dark prophecy about my own life. The protagonist suddenly became my author avatar and was found wanting... It made me wonder if I'm really that bad, if my life and reasoning is that shallow and depressive.

I was wondering. I have numerous .doc files and .pdf files on my computer and I just recently got a Nook Color. It takes ages for the doc files to load in the reader and my issue with the pdf files is that it is unwieldy to read as is. Certainly neither are as easy to handle as my ebooks, which are all epub files. My question is...are there any good free pdf/doc to epub converters that anyone here could recommend? Thanks in advance. :)

My Transsexual Summer

New series. Seven transgender men and women convene at a summer retreat, where they share a mutual understanding of what it is like to be a transsexual in Britain today. In various stages of gender reassignment, members of the group share experiences and provide an insight into the problems and prejudices they face in everyday life, and build the support network they need to reach their long-term goals

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.

When the rapist is the victim

Yesterday I reread an old story of Lorrain B.
It's the alien within.

The protagonist wakes up in a female body and a male person stalks the new her and is pissed about the protagonist stealing his life/baby. He goes completly bonkers and breaks in and tries to rape the protagonist and to kill the child.
Apparently he's gone completly nuts over a memory wipe/alteration.

I have been told that I was not clear in my Blog on the above noted program. According to the CBC's website, the program airs tonight, October the 30th at 22:00. It is followed by one titled "The Third Sex" at 23:00.

My apologies for any confusion I may have caused. I have a DVD player hooked to my boob tube but have never used it but will try tonight if the weather is clear - I only have satellite reception - no reception when there is nothing to do but watch TV - LOL.

I hope the program lives up to the trailer I saw.

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.

The CBC has announced that its program "The Passionate Eye" will present a documentary next Sunday at 22:00 eastern time dealing with transgendered children and their parents. The trailer, shown tonight, led me to believe that the parents were supportive and the children young.

Black Balled?

I first discovered this site a year ago. Imagine my joy when I found like minded people. But Alas!

I find there is a small town mentality here. The same village that I ran away from at the tender age of fifteen. I did not know where I was running too,I only knew I had to escape that small minded village full of cliques.

I ran blindly towards the big city and annonymity, it worked for a while. Sadly the true nature of myself always came through. I would move on to a bigger town in order to preserve my true self. Everywhere I went the inevitable happened.

Where are the disabled characters in TG fiction?

I'm still fairly new to this site, so I should probably start with a bit of an introduction.

As my screen name (Ragtime Rachel) indicates, I'm a ragtime enthusiast. I'm quite enamored as well of the music of the Roaring Twenties and swing eras, and have dabbled a bit in composing ragtime on the computer. (I just wish I could play the piano worth a darn....)

I'm also a male-to-female pre-op transsexual who, incidentally, has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair.

It has always amazed me that I have never seen a protagonist in transgender fiction who is like me--a wheelchair user with a neurological disorder.
