Wendy Jean is inviting you to a video Zoom meeting. While it is OK to invite others, this meeting is for T women only. There is no agenda as such , just a chance to meet new people who have something in common. Basically I have started this because being in a wheelchair I don't get out much. It is my way of going out and meeting new people. It is every Sunday 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM Texas time. Having trouble tracking times? The National Institute of standards has a map that will simplify this. just send me a PM, and i will send you an invitation that has the link included.

Saviour of the Universe (other detergents are available!)

A member of the British aristocracy has been in the news media rather a lot recently and it took me a moment to remember that I had included a very minor scene in one of the stories that included the name of said person. Today that's been airbrushed out of the story.

I don't remember having to do this before, but I guess it might happen again as my stories live in the Real World (tm)

is at least less messy than the medical condition!

Amy won again today on Jeopardy. She is the first transgender contestant to have this much success -- closing in on $1 million in total winnings.

It is her serenity as much as her amazing knowledge base that makes her so much fun to watch.

Today - at a crucial point of the contest, an answer she gave was judged wrong. She is rarely wrong. I turned to my spouse and said, "They've got to correct that! Her answer was just as correct as the answer they said was correct." About five minutes later, they corrected their error and gave her credit for the answer.

well in UK time anyhow!

which i'm sure you'll all understand!

An article from the Guardian reporting that the 'equal treatment benchbook,' published by the Judicial College suggests more protection for trans people when in court including prevention of revealing original names and genders unless relevant to the case in point and the use of preferred names and genders where possible.

I would hope there aren't that many of us up in front of the judge, but who knows.

Just thought I would reach out and just wish everyone a wonderful day, no matter what it means to you, and that the holiday time sees you safe and sound and happy.

I (as with others) are on the Discord Channel (I will pretty much for three weeks!!), so please do visit and say hi :D

Today for me isn't as much as it used to be as a kid, or even in my earlier years. I am usually at home, just doing my comic stuff, and chatting with people online. But there is something that I still find is important.

Look i told you not to plug that last Santa in, now we can't watch Chitty or even listen to the Queens Speech!

It is with great sadness that I announce the death of my dear friend Anne, who I shall miss enormously.

One on a moped, two in a car....

guess i'm showing my age eh?

Amy Schneider has won over $400,000 in eleven days on Jeopardy.

okay, i wont inflict my singing on you!

Just read this interesting piece on the NPR website about reactions to Hollins College changing their admissions policy to specifically exclude non-binary applicants. I thought it might add to the ongoing conversation that takes place here, especially in our fiction, on the nature and practice of gender. It also shows pictures of people who most of us would identify as women and yet who don't identify themselves that way.

I just saw this on FB:

"First transgendered suicide hotline is now up and running in the U.S. You can reach Trans Lifeline at 877-565-8860."
