Someone mentioned B is the average breast size of women. I'm wondering where this came from? I'd dare say over eighty percent of the women I have known are C cup.

A long time ago I belonged to a wrestling club called World Class Wrestling (not what you saw on tv). I was one of the better wrestlers to come out of the club and was voted Mr. Florida my senior year of high school before going on to winning two national championships and the Coca-Cola international tournament in Honduras while in college.

For those of you that don't know me, my name is Amy. I'm a 36 year old cis-gendered woman who is currently in college studying Social Work.I'm currently engaged to Piper.

I joined BC to give and get support. I also plan to write stories when I have some time. I may not struggle with the same demons you do, but I have my own I struggle with on a daily basis, which explains the username.

For what's it's worth, I posted the last two chapters of Out of the Blue Part II: Into the Fray. But only chapter seven is showing up on the main "stories" page. And I'm wondering what happened to Chapter 6. If anyone knows, an answer would be much appreciated.

Hi All,

So in assisting authors to write more realistically, Size B is the average size of a Woman's breast. They do not jiggle when one walks. I only notice them when I run without a bra on.

I'm trying to do something a little different than normal, and it may not work.

For those who are sticking with me, thanks.

I think a well written article.

Hope the link works.

Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but I find it inspiring that some enlightened communities are breaking down walls to grant transgender rights. Now let's lets see it spread.

I woke up in the middle of the night, and couldn't get back to sleep, so, being the news junky that I am, I checked the news and ran across this lovely piece. It seems every time it starts to look like people are finally starting to except and understand transgender/differently-gendered individuals, something like this pops up to show you society hasn't come along as far as you thought.

Well, there was some mixed news here, as one of the candidates for Premier of our province participated in a Christian parade run by a group known for their extremist views on homosexuality. Their pastor even blogged that the flooding that happened in southern Alberta last year were caused by God crying over the Gay Pride Parade in Calgary.

On the one hand, it was pretty sad that a major political player would be willing to stand with such a group, but on the other hand, both of the other candidates pounded on him for doing so, and so did one of our major newspapers.

I've been having a bit of a block getting the words to come to me for Twice Removed the last few days so I'm working on something different for a few days while I let the ideas percolate in the back of my mind. What I'm working on is the new Hyperverse story which will introduce the last two young Hypers who have a part in the main storyline.These two will be a step in a different direction from what I've shown thus far, but I'm hoping you'll find them interesting.

It is a "real life" tagged serial/novel, if I recall correctly. It takes place in England. A fellow comes home from work early and finds his wife in bed with another man. He heads off, after leaving a note saying he'd be filing for divorce. He decides at this point that he's going to transition permanently at this point.

She drives off and her car breaks down near a small seaside village. She starts making friends and falls head over heels for this woman living alone in the village who has a number of cats.

I spent the weekend moving into my new apartment, and have more stuff than I realized. Lots of books.... lots and lots of books.

Writing, just like any form of communication, is deeply colour (or flavoured, I suppose) by style of the writer. Just like you might be the kind of person who waves your hands around a lot when you talk, or make a lot of strange facial expressions, I believe every writer to have a unique signature to how they translate their thoughts into letters on the page.

But, enough prose, let's talk about quirks! Do you have any special "things" you do (or don't do) in your writing?

Quotation marks in English are used to set off parts of a sentence that represent quoted words.

I have finally finished writing Rumspringa.

Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's in the BC family wether they are still with us or not.

At the Crystal Hall, that is.

Chapter 5 of "Mirror Mirror" will be delayed, as I am having troubles writing it at the moment.

I will do what I can to get it out, I promise ...

Captain, Oh My Captain is pure TG and straight from my heart. I left it needing a bit of editing because I wanted to present a woman who was not quite coherent much of the time. I wanted to preserve the disorderly thinking.

So those who are tempted to pull the edit sword, be careful what you toy with.

It is my hope that both my fans will enjoy this glimpse into the mind of a crazed woman.

Crystalhall is down. The message reads welcome to the new home for Crystalhall.org ...

Just so you all know I was hit with a stroke on May 23rd that hit the left side of my body and I just got out of Rehab today and I'm going real slow at the present I'm suppose to continue more rehab here at home Will Talk later Thank you all. See you later! Richard

Over the past sixty years the concepts and perceptions about those who do NOT fit the gender identity they were tagged with at birth is slowly changing. Sadly, Harry Benyamin's Gender Dysphoria is still hung onto all boy-girls caught up in the gender blender. In other words, if one doesn't accept their birth sex designation then they are crazy.

Another annoying post to some; read at your own risk.

I could really use some motivation. That is one of the downsides of not posting stories regularly while you work on really big projects, you hardly get any feedback.

Last night, I dreamed that my brother was dead. So this morning, I had to call him, just to hear his voice.

That's not too weird, is it?

Several weeks ago I posted about writers block ,about stories that have been left unfinished it seems some of our great writers have heard my pain and started to pick up stories where they stopped adding chapters . KUDOS & THANK YOU for each and every page posted.
I thank each of you creative thinkers for wonderful stories and taking the time to post on BCTS with is a free site hosted by wonderful dedicated unrecognized people.
Please for those who can donate .
THANK YOU ALL :-) HUGS & KISSES RICHIE2

well, I've put up chapter 2 of "Mirror mirror."

Sorry its so short ...

First and foremost, I want to thank the community for supporting all the authors who’s ventured into the published ebook field, even myself!

I'm sorry for posting stupid stupid crap.

There is action there is adventure and James fights a giant. all in the latest posting.

to all vet there has been a death to our family my dad has die the morning from caner I ask us all to send owner prayers to him and all vets and to any who know a vet remind them we all care about them and what they have done is not frogotin

Some of you will know it already. Not directly about gender, but about truth and appearance. It is by the English poet, John Masefield.

An Epilogue

Every 18 months to 2 years, I post how I can't write, with the hope that my muse will get her dander up and show me. Here is another of those attempts. And no, my knowing that she knows might still work. Reverse psychology, if you will.

The first comes with pix of some very attractive trans women.

Well, here is a copy of what I said in church today:

I am transgender.

You might have guessed that, I mean, I don’t really know how well I “pass” so maybe you can tell by looking at me.

While I don't have a high output to begin with, I suspect it may drop off for a few weeks. The kids are out of school and when they're not tying up the computer, they're still up and about. It was much easier to write around them when they couldn't read...

I only mention this because I know some readers are waiting for continuations. But my available writing time, which was small already, has shrunk a lot.

I just finished reading an Anne McGaffery trilogy, "Petabea", and as I reflect on the experience I actually feel that there are not a few authors here who are equal or perhaps better than her. I have loved her writing for quite a long time, and my comments are not meant in any way to demean her skills. They are rather comments on how well some of you do and how pleased I am that some of you have chosen to put themselves out on the open market and give it a go.

I have published my twentieth ebook Salvations at Amazon. Like all my books, it's now only available in the Kindle format. It was originally workshopped here on BCTS as "Saving Us" and has been edited and revised a bit, but at the risk of decreasing my sales, if you have "Saving Us" you've pretty much got it already.

Has anybody heard from karen page latlely as she has not added any stories for quite while?

Eliza

Just a question for you all. I am considering publishing here the speech I will give at church on Sunday, and I wonder if I should do so as a "story" or a "blog"?

opinions?

I looked at the Huffpost entry re Texas bigotry, and found this. Pardon me while I weep happy tears,

Today is D-Day. A day to honor all those who went and did what they had to do, to ensure the freedom we all cherish. Take a moment today to remember all those who risked everything, to help give US everything. Some came back, some did not. Thank a Veteran today.

My test results are mixed. The good - there is no arterial blockage in my coronary arteries. Great! Now for the not-so-good - my case is ideopathic, without an identifiable cause for the weak area in my heart nor for the low ejection fraction. The electrophysiologist indicated that it could be as simple as a viral inflamation in some of the coronary arteries. It could be amplified by the diuretics I was taking in hope of delaying my next kidney stone (I've had 5 - and the last was 16mm!). It could have been amplified by another med that I was on.

This is an interesting piece. Don't get sucked in.

Though I have received some wonderful support for my writing and my stories, there have been some requests from a few readers for more accessible content from me. I realized that some of the readers here are turned away by explicit content. Therefore, I posted Part 1 of an abridged, “made for BC” version of my current story, called Amber Light.
