YOUR ATTENTION:
We the inhabitants of the higher dimensional continua have become increasingly annoyed at the manner in which what you call "other dimensions" are being portrayed in your world. We are by nature tolerant and easy-going, but we've just about had enough!
These scurrilous falsehoods started with the comic books of your 1950's...
Wherein---typically---some person in a ridiculous outfit, a super-hero, would find himself being levitated, conveyed by unexplained forces through a garish "realm of mind bending strangeness"...
Marjorie Taylor Greene gives us the scoop on the plot to replace
all straight cisgender people with gay or trans or whatever:

She blames this looming apocalypse
on LGBTQ-inclusive sex educators,
who she called "trans terrorists."
In November 2007 I posted a story here called THIS QUINTESSENCE OF DUST. It was my 4th or 5rh work of transgender fiction but it was the first one of any length, and the first I worked really hard on trying to create credible well-rounded characters that I hoped the reader could empathize with. And it was a challenge for me because I wanted them to be a pair of normal cisgender guys who were intelligent and more or less decent and not just buffoonish caricatures. In a way my creating them was my attempt to grow beyond my often misadrist attitudes toward males.
Apparently the Chinese govt is worried that androgynous trends in Japanese + S Korean
culture will influence theirs and erode their nation's communist revolutionary virility
or some nonsense, so they've banned "sissy men" from appearing on television.
I'm sure they'll soon have some weirdly arbitrary guidelines to determine who
is masculine enough to not be a corrupting influence on the youth of China.
It's part of a much broader crackdown on the rights of their citizens
meant to guard them from what Lenin or somebody termed
This time it's me asking about an author here
who goes/went by the handle Limbo's Mistress
In 2020 she was posting some fantastic serials
and she and I were getting to be PM-Pals...
So apparently transgender people are no longer considered pariahs when it comes to serving in the American military. Most of us knew this was coming, it was pretty much a campaign promise of the current administration, but the Pentagon formally announced its change in policy today.

It's 90 degrees Fahrenheit here in
Washoe Valley east of the Sierra and I'm in Heaven!
We had a good wet winter and everything's green + blooming
and beautiful with an unusual amount of critters running around;
as if nature went nuts and decided to go for broke this year.
“I refuse to allow anyone to use me and my horrific sexual assault to cause harm and discrimination to others...”

On March 5th of this year Kelly Herron was assaulted in a park bathroom in Washington state and badly beaten as she fought off her would be rapist and captured him for the police.
Weeks later a friend called her and told her that a group (Just Want Privacy) trying to pass another one of these anti-trans bathroom bills in her state was using photographs of her battered face as proof of what allowing trans people use the "wrong" bathroom would lead to. The group hadn't asked her, and she was really really pissed off at being used by them to promote a bill that she is 100% against and has nothing to do with her being attacked by a cis male rapist.
To anyone still waiting for the next chapter of my serial OFF THE DEEP END, I sincerely apologize for the delay (I'd make some self-deprecating joke about "my five or six fans" here except I'm afraid that might actually be the case...).
It was the summer of 1940. In order to celebrate the progress made in Spain under Fascism, Francisco Franco decided to hold a grand exposition in Madrid, that would be as big and impressive as any world's fair, but it would be an all-Spanish affair, highlighting progress and prosperity and culture from every city and province.
But the dictator's timetable for the construction and opening of his exposition was hopelessly optimistic, and rumors began circulating of workers dying on the job, and that some of the pavilions seemed like they wouldn't hold together for the two months that the thing was supposed to last. The Department of Public Safety got wind of these rumors, and they sent a building inspector down to the exposition grounds to see what was going on.
I don't know if this woman is making fun of us with performance art, or if she
really is a cat at heart, but her trans-species situation seems like what the critics
of transgender people always warned would happen if they allowed us to exist;
and I fear this will be grabbed onto as somehow implicating us as delusional,
with that peculiar logic of transphobes...
"They thought the bullet would silence us, but they failed. Out of that silence came thousands of voices. The terrorists thought they would change my aim and stop my ambitions. But nothing changed in my life except this. Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born.” ~Malala Yousafzai
Not to be bashing religion in general,
none of the Christians I know talk like this,
but this guy's like some over the top transgender fiction Supervillian,
telling his North Carolina congregation:
Buddy and Pedro, a married pair of male African penguins at the Toronto zoo are being seperated
and paired with female penguins. Apparently this wasn't done for religious or moralistic reasons but
because the population of this species is in perilous decline. Let's hope they can rise to the occasion.
DOGGIE’S INFERNO
a bit of doggeral by LAIKA PUPKINO
.
Canto One: LOST IN THE WOODS
.
My name is Laika and this is my canto
And you might think it’s some strange mad-dog rant though
If you’ll spare some indulgence and hear this tale out
You’ll see just as plain as the nose on your snout
That every last word of my grim account’s true,
And be glad this all happened to me and not you…
Maybe you've seen this, but if you haven't---and you can run Youtube on your 'puter---here's a fun story
very much like one you would read here at BCTS, in the form of a colorful fast-paced cartoon.
It's from France, but there are no intelligible words to it. The intro has been translated as:
"One morning Gerald woke up to find himself transformed into a woman..."
Here is an interesting test that I found on the Internet. I cannot vouch for its accuracy or authenticity. As this test was posted in early 2007, the promised answers to the grading of this seem long overdue.
~~hugs, LAIKA
