Later today, I'll be posting a previously serialized story. After I wrote this, Ronnie suggested I tackle the character Saga Noren from the Swedish series, The Bridge. That culminated in my story, The Bridge to Nowhere. That story, along with this one, was accompanied by my Wallander: The Girl from Malmö, all of which Joanne described as Swedish Noir.
Along the way, I realized that all of the protagonists were women who landed somewhere on the higher functioning end of the Autistic Spectrum, and all three stories were equally focused on that condition, but also that several of the characters were transgender.
It has become increasingly apparent that as I embrace my transgender nature and awareness of my own neuro-divergent nature that I simultaneously recognize the horrific approach to transgender identification and also separately but not exclusively the autistic nature of a significant portion of the population; the lies and disinformation of the present head of the HHS notwithstanding.
My apologies for my recent reposting of older material. I'm okay, if a tad more challenged with recent medical issues. But this story needs to be re-told, I believe; if only to reflect the needs of this community. Both for our transgender folks and allies, but also for those of us who are not quite neurotypical.
Thanks for understanding. Love y'all
