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.

Channel four is airing a documentary series as from the 8th November. "My Transexual Summer."

It portrays four MtF's and two FtM's undergoing SRS together.

Despite the dubious title judging by the trailers the subject will be handled sensitively and candidly. (I hope so anyway.)

Sorry to say, those outside the UK may not have access.

Sorry about the delay on through the years. I have been engrossed in Batman Arkham city. I'll try to put the controller down later and write some

I have read most of Tanya Allans books and one Nick B book on my Kindle from Amazon.Can anyone tell me of any other BCTS authors on Amazon.co.uk please.
P.S the two authors I have allready read I would recommend to all.

I couldn't give warning of it before it aired because I noticed it just before it started.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (Associated Press) -- Campus police at New Mexico State University are investigating claims that a man came into a woman's yard and stole panties from her clothesline.

She told officers she had hung several pairs of colored underwear, two bras and some of her son's shirts on the clothesline Saturday evening. She found her gate open Sunday morning and nine pairs of panties worth about $60 were gone.

Police have not named any suspects.

I stumbled upon a site that mentioned a site I didn't recall by name.

Story Site This is of course "Crystal's" storysite but I didn't recall at the time so I clicked on the link.

I was quite disappointed when the site didn't load so I googled it.

so I tried the links in google but it was surely down.

Has anyone heard if Storysite finally died or is crystal working on it?

A news update would be appreciated.

An interesting article about gender, with some explanations of hormone experiments on rats.

Keep in mind that some of the data is more than 30 years old; however, it's still interesting to read.

I ended up there when I was trying to find out some of the effects of prepubescent castration in humans - basically, whether or not it would be the same as total androgen insensitivity. (apparently not, at least, not without providing estrogen therapy to trigger puberty)

thats 34, is now up - i'm away for the weekend so it'll act as the Sunday posting this week!

i sit here reading the stories on bc and i wonder do transgender people mind that none transgender people are reading about about them. i have a friend i play games with on a game site and shes proud of her self. so the sex none sex whatever of people doesnt bother me at all. yall excuse me but my my mind wanders in strange paths sometimes.

Anyone else having trouble?

i just found bob arnolds "zapped" story. what a great writer he was. just one one small point i dont know if he spoke from personal experience or not but i watched my daughter pass on with the removal of life support. it wasnt thirty minute a process. suffice to say its not something i ever want to go through again with anyone. if this offends please accept my apology.

Sorry Everybody who's waiting for this weeks "You Have it all Wrong" by SaraUK this week, I'm afraid I'm had a thumping headache most of the day and I haven't got the HTML done for it. Hopefully I'll feel better after a nights kip and if so I'll do it first thing Sat morning.

A few weeks or months ago I posted this on another site and was directed to ask it here...

Now before I ask my question I feel I should state up from that the other site suggested I ask directly if this site would be able to host my site, but I do not honestly think this site would be able to do such so instead...

I am looking for a web site host that would be friendly to transgender fiction stories, as my site is a personal site I doubt it ever be that big or use that much bandwidth, but I do need functioning PHP.

Well everyone you now have a sister in the New York Fire Department see story at following address: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44747877/ns/local_news-new_york_...

Posted: Fri Sep 30, 2011 5:14 pm Post subject: Was a 100 million year old virus the why of human pregnancy

http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/doublex/201...

The above article claims that about 100 million years ago, a virus infected the DNA and made it possible for placental mammals to exist. As the scientist claim, the virus was able to worm its way into mammal DNA as a place it would be able to replicate itself rapidly and relatively safely.

That pretty much covers it, chapter thirty of book 7 is up for your perusal bringing book 8 ever closer.

Furthermore i now have 7 chapters of book 9 under the editor in chief!

Enjoy it,
TTFN

Hey guys and Gals, Just trying to put my feelers out of a new Editor, my old one lost the time to do it.
I've had Chapters 3 and 4 of my story ready for editing for awhile now, and I'm not blaming Piper one bit for not being able to do it.

So if anyone can help me out that would be fantastic :)
