Okay, this is as good a place as any to ask. I've been wracking my brain trying to remember the name of this movie because it's a really good example, to my mind, of what makes not just a good transgender story, but a good story in general. I'm hoping someone here has seen it and can tell me the title.

Help wanted!

I registered with BC a month ago after being one of the guests for a very long time and it is through reading many of the stories and the blogs here that it has given me the courage to stand up and leave My Closet. I first came to believe I was different when I was eight years old and at twelve knew what was wrong, but then believed there was nothing I could do about it.

I'm sure everyone will be pleased to note that the Virgin Mary seems most likely to have been a feminised man.

I'm sure there's a really great story there as well...

This is going to be long and about as dry as day old toast, but I felt like rambling to complete strangers on the internet for awhile :)

Hello everybody at Top Shelf

I received another call from my brother. My mom is now spending every night in the hospital. He will not be coming out for Christmas. He has a good chance for a turn around, but he needs to walk around to get his body moving. This is needed to get bodily functions moving normally. There is fluid build up in the lungs. Pneumonia has not set in yet. They are going to try to find the next blockage.

I would like to say that I have been transgendered all my life, but when I was growing up, it was something that wasnt even talked about. There was no internet; web; or anything that we know now. There was only the print, and you were looked down on if anyone but your MOTHER caught you with a Penthouse Forum. I think that the magazines were the first that any of us had in finding out that there were others like us.

Well I just received a call from my brother this afternoon (Friday, the 19th). Right now it is wait and see mode. My dad will be let out this Tuesday in time for Christmas. They want to make sure he is regaining his strength before he is released. They will do the biopsy on the liver before he is released.

They have to analyze it to determine what type it is first. We won't know that answer for a week. So, I will be down there from Christmas to New Years. I won't have access to a computer during that time. My parents refused to get involved in that.
