i•den•ti•ty
/īˈdentitē/
1. Noun: The fact of being who or what a person or thing is

Hmm, that seems fairly straight forward. Let’s see, I am first an individual, a human being. In some respects no different than you or anyone else and yet in so many other ways, I couldn’t be more different. So is that any clearer? No? Yeah, I’m still confused too.

And they got in trouble too.

Here's the link to the article and a short video. They're pretty good.

Here's an interesting article I came across that I thought I'd share.

The final article I came across today was about Nepal listing Transgender as an official sex when it comes to their census. I could wish that the U.S. would do the same.

Found this to be a very good article. Typical range of comments.

Last night several things all came together. I was looking over the first couple of parts of my story 'Catwalk Confidence'. The first thing I noticed while looking it over was boy do I need to go back and clean this up a bit. The second thing I noticed was that within the storyline, it has been almost a year since young Alex started writing in his, excuse me, her journal.

I saw this the other day but have only now had a chance to post this. One could hope to see more clinics like this, or at the very least more health care people a bit more sympathetic.

The Huffington Post did an article about this and references the In The Life documentary that will be showing in various markets.

This article has a link to the documentary. Caution, have kleenex ready.

Transgender Issues: The Additional Challenges of LBGT Aging

Here's a direct link to the documentary.

Much love to all,

I just don't understand why they just don't leave it up to the kids. I mean, what's the harm?

If you were wondering what that scream was you heard about an hour ago, it was me.

See at that point I realized that I left (hopefully) the flashdrive with all my stories on it, in my computer at work. At least I hope that's where it is.

As a result the next part of my little story will not be posted until Monday.

Insert your favorite dirty word here {_____}

Ok all. I posted Part 24 of Catwalk Confidence just the other night.

I really can’t believe the response that I’ve gotten on this story to date. I am totally thrilled by it. I know I don’t respond well to all the comments but I’m trying to get better and do respond to all PM’s.

When I started this story I had no idea what writing would be like. My best analogy is any highly addictive drug. I just can ‘t seem to stop and I’m just as impatient to post as I absolutely love seeing that others are enjoying my tale.

There are two basic types of 'Farie Tales'. There's the Disney sweetness and light and everyone lives happily ever after kind, and then there's the Brother's Grimm not always a happy ending type.

Have you ever considered that the only thing that separate the two are the two words "what if"? For example, what if the Singing Sword had missed the mark and the dragon queen had destroyed the young Prince? Princess Aurora would still be sleeping.

Here's another farie tale that has a "what if" ending. I'll begin it as all good farie tales begin, but be warned, this is a sad tale.

Any bored editors out there?

I'm tossing in the towel, I'm waving the white flag, in short, I surrender.

I've posted a couple of stories here so far and since they've been rather short, I've managed to do the editing myself. However, the latest story I have been working on has decided that it doesn't want to be another short story, it wants to be a big girl. The end result has been for it to reach 60K+ words to date and there is no sign of it stopping.
