TDOR In Dallas - One Woman's Story

From the Dallas Voice Weekly E-Blast - 11.19.10

As North Texans commemorate Trans Day of Remembrance, one trans woman remembers the attack she survived as a child

DAVID TAFFET | Staff Writer [email protected]

To many people, statistics on anti-transgender violence are just numbers. Astounding, perhaps frightening, but still just numbers.

Winter Mullenix is the face of one of those numbers. One of many.

Mullenix was attacked when she was 9 years old by someone who had apparently been stalking her for a while.

First Commercial 3-D Bioprinter Fabricates Organs To Order

Forums: 

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

"An engineering firm has developed a 3D bio-printer that could one day be used to create organs on demand for organ replacement surgery. The device is already capable of growing arteries and its creators say that arteries "printed" by the device could be used in heart bypass surgery in as little as five years. Meanwhile, more complex organs such as hearts, and teeth and bone should be possible within ten years."

Phone Sex

Forums: 

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

So my new perverted pleasure is getting away with being a girl on the phone and doing phone sex with guys via craigs list. I'm not sure if I should be surprised how many guys are interested in a father / daughter type of exchange. It's almost to the point that I am considering trying to make a few $ from it,

does anyone else do this or something like it or is it just me?

Portland eatery is offering something different to patrons... and reports say people love it!

PORTLAND, Ore. -- A Thai restaurant in northwest Portland is hoping makeup, wigs and heels will put a new face on its business and its bottom line.

Oasisba, formerly known as Sweet Basil, is stirring up its business by having servers dressed as drag queens. At first glance, it may appear the new name is the only thing different at the restaurant on Glisan Street and 17th Avenue, but once you go inside, the change is clear.

No I don't want to remember another password and log onto yet another forum. So I'll post here since it will probably share much the same readership.

Great to see Tuck in control as always, made even easier by Jane and crew being down with illness.
I am sure they are blind at the moment to what an asset they have on their hands. It will be fun to see what happens once honest and open communication starts between them.

I really feel Tucker would be such an asset to Hayfield Hall, don't you think?

A very peculiar engagement

Having read this story, it would be very easy for me to get carried away with commenting on how ridiculous ‘his’ views are. To say:
"People who think they are a woman trapped in a male body are, in my opinion, completely deluded. I certainly was."
Here is the link:

I will limit my comment to reiterate an old saying ‘he took the dressing up too far’ I am certain others will leave more pertinent comments

Sixteen-year-old Rufus Bowman was looking for an easy victim, but he picked the wrong one during a July 13 incident.

Bowman was in the 200 block of West McMicken Avenue in Over-the-Rhine when, Assistant Hamilton County Prosecutor Ryan Nelson said, he approached Joshua Bumpus.

"Mr. Bumpus is a transvestite prostitute," Nelson said. "He goes 6-(foot)-3, 280 (pounds) and was wearing a pink halter top and pumps."

Hey,

I think there should be more ability to put info on the user account pages:

Basic stuff like interests, types of stories liked, that sort of thing. I would love to be able to better find other members who might share my interests (mother daughter stories).

Possible? I know there is lots to do with this site but making it easier for members to connect with one another seems like a decent idea.

Hi,
last week I remembered a story I read some time ago and wanted to reread it, only to find I couldn't remember the title.
The only things remaining are some details and an idea of what the name of the main characters may be.
I tried searching for it, but without sufficient info to feed the search engines and without a clue on which site it was on, I can only sift through ever single story on the sites I think it could be.
I hope that someone can make some sense of the bits and pieces I remember and can give me a title or even a link.

Here is what I know:

Hi I'm fairly new to the TG reading community as I was reading Ranma 1/2 stories before this. Anyway I've been browsing the net looking for TG mermaid stories. When I was a young boy I always dreamed of becoming a beautiful mermaid swimming in the ocean, so I find I enjoy reading the few fics I can find. Can anybody recommend any fics they know of?

Fics Ive read:

I like stories where the boy becomes a preppy girl. I just love the element of blouses under sweaters and pearls, cute mini skirts and elegant pencil skirts. cardigans, cableknit sweaters, sweatervests, turtlenecks, argyle. i love them all. Does anyone know where I can find a story with those elements in them.

Thank you

A Real Beaver Shot

I have a hobby that some others here also seem to like. I'm a shutterbug. I love to take pictures. I'll go miles out of my way to find something to take a picture of, and I'll stand around doing nothing while waiting for the light to be 'just right'. And sometimes, I just stumble across something worth shooting.

Yesterday, I stumbled across something worth recording. I have to admit I didn't ask permission to take these pictures of her swimming, but I figured she wouldn't mind because after all, she was swimming in a pond right beside the road... and she wasn't wearing any clothes!

Story suggestions?

I'm looking for some new stories to read, so I thought I'd ask you guys here! I like stories that involve male to female transformations - where an unsuspecting guy is transformed into a girl and has to come to terms with his(her) new body, feelings, etc. A great example of the type of story I'm looking for is Kate Draffen - that's my favorite. Something Feels Strange is another one I thoroughly enjoyed, despite the way it ended.

While not essential, I like a gradual, but complete transformation. I wish there was a gradual tag to search for.

Thanks in advance for the reads!

There is a WHAT up there?

This is a true halloween story that happened to me and my family the first halloween after we arrived in England in 1953.
We were living in Cambridge, in a house that had been built in 1863, per the date etched into a stone, above the front door on the second floor. The house was a three story house, and did indeed look old.

Ok, so I started writing a story out of order. I know, not the usual way to go about things, but anyone who told you I was normal was lying ;)

I know it will be a story in 4 parts.

Rising Star

Betrayal and Loss
Phoenix Rising

I can get those to organize, no problems. That makes it so I can devote 3 weights per month and not run out of weights, and so my months organize.

For months I have been looking for a story, it starts with a man who has an ability to use his mind in a supernatural manner.

Later we see him helping out some older ladies when their car broke down. In turn he becomes friends with the family.

In turn he starts going out with the daughter who unbenknown to him is a witch. She in turn gives him an opportunity to experience what it is like to be a girl through a temporary body swap.
