Book Country

"For anybody with a half-completed romance novel on her computer, the idea of sharing it with the world might seem intimidating. What if nobody likes it? Where do you get honest feedback? How will readers respond to Fernando and Gwendolyn's torrid passion?

Cathyland the tour

A few days ago, I sent a word document to a friend to give her a smile and perhaps think about a tour of Portsmouth, where I live.

As all you merry band of followers of EAFOAB or ‘Bike’ or even The Daily Dormouse will know, this is where the story is based.

There is Dickensian London, Bronte Country and even Hardy’s Wessex. But we have a new addition; Cathyland.

Many thanks for Puddintane for all the help and advice in making the following possible, the errors are mine alone.

Sad, Sick, or just plain Stupid?

I just shook my head when I read today's newspaper. The original story contained some terms used in an objectionable manner. Since then it's been cleaned up a bit, and most versions now make it plain he isn't transgendered. But read it for yourself:

Maine legislature rejects bathroom bill

UPDATE: 11:29 AM ET:

The Maine Senate has just joined the House in rejecting a bill that would have repealed protections for transgender people under the Maine Human Rights Act. LD 1096 would have allowed restaurants and schools to adopt their own policies for restroom use and stripped away the ability of transgender people to file discrimination lawsuits if they were denied access to a rest room that did not correspond with their biological sex.

Unhappy man's suicide from Sissy Boy experiments at UCLA?

http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/06/07/sissy.boy.experiment/index....

This is an account of the effects of experiments from some years ago to try to be keep a feminine boy from becoming gay. It was carried out at UCLA, and this person was not the only one. He did, however, kill himself at 38, a very unhappy man who always felt he was "broken" after the "therapy" and the recommended re-inforcement on a reward and punishment system through physical abuse by the parents. Note that this is just part of the story on CNN tonight.

Changes part 3

Hi

Part 3 is now available and I apologise in advance for the blue background. It seems there is a gremlin in Lulu's conversion programme - I am trying to sort the problem but it seems rather hit and miss.

me and sam

i so enjoyed this story and was grateful to have found it. then i was shocked when i looked over at in memoriam and saw darlas name. that was even worse than when i realized i wouldnt be reading more new material from teddi aldonetti. from what i read at the end of chapter 17 book 3, sounds like darla had pretty rough time of it.

Egyptian Military performing "virginity tests" on females

Egyptian military performs 'virginity tests'

According to a report by an international activist group, the Egyptian military is accused of performing "virginity tests" on detained female protesters. The 2011 Egyptian revolution, which forced former president Hosni Mubarak out of power, has resulted in the military controlling the country until elections later this year. Like most military minds, excess is excused as military necessity. The more conservative the basis of the culture, the worse the excesses.

Barcelona!!

Well, for those that don't generally follow sports, especially as practiced in the old world, there is great news! Manchester United fell to FC Barcelona in the UEFA Championship by a resounding 3-1. Barcelona owned the game, played in Wembley Stadium, from start to finish despite the antics of United's Wayne Rooney. Somebody ought to inform him he shouldn't start the celebrations until AFTER the game is over!

But as entertaining as his antics might have been to some, his goal was the only time MU scored as FC Barcelona outscored, outclassed, and out-played United.

Don't take running water for granted.

I did today. It proved to be somewhat disastrous! =P
I attended to my womyn's issues today, with Nair. I applied it to the areas I wasn't courageous enough to wax. When the maximum safe contact time of 10 minutes had passed, I went to wash it (and in theory the hair also) off. Turned on the shower...

...

...no water.

DSM-v comment: A dangerous diagnosis. Take action now

This is really long, though it is the references that are responsible. If you haven't commented on the DSM-V, please read the pertinent section and do so. It's easy. Also check out the petition. If we don't make noise, then the assholes rewriting the DSM-% are going to make it worse on many of us.

Boy? Girl? Letting the child decide.

Ran across an interesting story about how 2 parents are trying to raise 'genderless' children. It's interesting reading and gives me hope that someday our race will mature.
WARNING, don't read the comments following the story. The usual bigots and a@@holes posted their venom...

Rapture 2011 World Tour

I've been looking at forums/blogs/twitter feeds about the Rapture 2011 World Tour and was thinking about what a good opportunity if you had a Medallion of Zulu or something similar. All those people disappearing leaving their life/identity behind with just a pile of clothes/jewelry/etc. left to mark their passing.

Looking for an old story from Fictionmania...

I was recently searching for an old Fictionmania story. If I remember it correctly, it involved a US Military Lieutennant and 4 or 5 of his men being captured in the Middle East, whereupon they are each given water that transforms them. They awake as women and are told they will now have to accept this as their fate.

Interesting Fantasy Book

I do not know if this was posted in a former topic or on another part of the forums but i did want to mention it. I was reading some things here and there online when i noticed an interesting advertisement about a fantasy book. Curiosity took over and i found myself researching it. The book seems to be a fantasy book based around a character named Eon who is really a Female disguising herself as a male in order to achieve her dream to become what is called a dragoneye. The book is by a Australian writer named Alison Goodman and is called "The Two Pearls of Wisdom" in Australia and the UK.
