I'm rather tender on either side of my nether lips, and ointment for that is of limited effectiveness. I was looking for some loose legged underwear in satin perhaps. The catalog seems focused on "Sissy" and that is angering.

In the UK there have been moves to outlaw "Conversion Therapy" being used on LGBT, then the government did a U-turn on banning "Conversion Therapy" on the "T" .

They are seeking to outlaw

"Which can include talking therapies and prayer, says Jayne Ozanne, a former government equality adviser subjected to the practice. More extreme forms can include "exorcisms, physical violence and food deprivation", she says."

old photo while I was looking for a book. I'd forgotten it was there, and taken probably about 1988, so I'd have been 35 ish and without grey hair or wrinkles and rather too many pounds lighter as well.

For nearly the past month, my cat had been very sick. He had lost too much weight too fast. This past tuesday I made the decision, after his recent treatment wasn't working, to change his follow-up check up to something that I never wanted but had to so he wouldn't have to suffer. Throughout this past week he seemed to sense that I was very upset about something and did his best to stay by my side despite how weak he became.

In case i don't get a chance over the next few days.

Back in October, I got into another domestically abusive situation & left. I was travelled several hours away & since, this event, I have been in 2 shelters (homeless/women's/coed).

I had not been feeling well the last couple of days. Due to my respiratory issues, I figured it was just pneumonia, sinus infection, bronchitis etc again.

Well I was given a rapid test & I am positive for Covid as of tonight 8:58PM.

So here we are at the end of another week, every week on Sunday at 4:00 PM (Texas time) I will have a one hour zoom meeting for trans woman only. Please feel free to invite other trans women if you were invited. You have to ask to be put on this list. Once you are on the list you will get a notification every week. You can always opt out. I plan on having a meeting every week while there is interest. I do this because being disabled I was unable to get out during the pandemic to join groups, I am a very social person, and need human contact even if it is through a video screen.

It's been a hot minute, hasn't it?

My life has been busy! I've now been living life full to me as myself and feeling great! In January my car broke down on the way to work, long story short the ignition module burnt out, took out two ignition coils, the catalytic converter, and several of the spark plugs. It's been in and out of the shop trying to get everything fixed. It's finally passed emissions and seems to running fine. *Fingers crossed*

Just a mix of episodes with very famous Russian actor playing a woman's role in the theatrical production. (not his only stint "in skirts", but I had not seen it before...)

Just finished "Darkest Hour" and have watched " The Battle of Brittan" more than once. It seems to me that I have read stories on this site where children of that time were often shipped off to the country. The name of the Author escapes me. Does anyone remember the stories?

Gwen

or at least i will be on the morrow!

I'm sure there is a logical reason but there is no way to leave feedback/comments or even contact the author - or am i missing something?

I walk every day, and living where I do that means seeing lots of Red Kites

Hi all just read all 4 books of Jennifer Sue's summer odyssey who among you would like to see part 5 which was hinted at in the last chapter of book 4.

After recent expenses related to the downtime experienced Mar 29 to 31, and various monthly bills, we're broke. There is just less than $10 in our main bank account, and only $50 in my personal account. More bills are due as it is the beginning of the month.

We need money to get through the rest of the month.

Please, if you can help, we would like to continue operating this site. Thanks.

Hugs,
Erin, Piper, Cat, Amy, Jamie and the elves.

UK Conservative (UK Type not US) MP Jamie Wallis has come out as Trans. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the Leader of the Opposition, Sir Keir Starmer have voiced their support for him.

I wish him all the best for the future.

for the BC community and on a seperate note, for me.

Sometime today, probably in the evening Eastern Time, our servers will be unplugged and the rack they are in will be moved to a new location in the server farm before being plugged back in and rebooted.

Piper has been to the server farm these last two days to help ensure this goes smoothly, and we are not expecting to be down for more than an hour.

Don't Panic. :)

This has been planned for months, but is part of the reason we wanted to be sure we had money in the bank, right now, in case Piper had to stay overnight or something.

Here are 3 tricky IQ questions.Just for fun, see if you can answer them.

A bat and a ball cost £1.10 in total. The bat costs £1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

If it takes five machines five minutes to make a total of five widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?

In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to cover half of the lake?

So my recovery from the accident back in January has been slow but steady, although I am still not released to drive or go back to work. Other than the sitting around bored, I haven't let this bother me too much. But today I found something that did bother me.

Spring has sprung, the clocks have changed and of course, the sun has made a run for it!

I'm working on a new book and would like to find a few people who would like to read some pages and give me constructive criticism on how to make this more reader-friendly.

Thanks,

Leslie

I found this while looking at some YouGov polls. This is from 2020.

https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/articles-reports/2020/0...

Overall it concludes - Britons support the right of transgender people to use facilities for their chosen gender, but oppose making the legal transition process easier

50% to 27% Britons believe that people should be allowed to self-identify as a gender different to the one they were assigned at birth.

What sort of stories about being trans might the younger generations of trans folks write? And where might they be telling them?

He didn't believe in magic....

The horrible war in the Ukraine has cost at least 900 civilian lives. Often the civilians suffer more than the armies.

What did surprise me was when I looked into civilian casualties in other wars.

WW2
Twice as many civilians died in World War II than did members of the military. Current estimates place military deaths between 21 million and 25.5 million people.

WW1
Total number of deaths includes 9.7 million military personnel and about 10 million civilians.

Hey everyone,

I've been concerned about how I can't seem to shake this cough or tiredness, so I went to the walk-in clinic today and it seems that I have bronchitis again. So I'm on bedrest and antibiotics, and I'm hoping that the latter will help things along.

Wow! I just got an update notification from Smashwords. In the last two months my book, Missing Without A Trace: A Kelly Mitchell Mystery, has sold fourteen copies since being placed in their premium catalog.

I am thrilled and amazed!!
Thank you to any of you who purchased it. It is really appreciated!

Just in the last 30 minutes two big brush fires have blown up near us. The temp is 81F, the humidity is a paltry 19%, and the wind is out of the south at 28mph gusting to 32mph. No sooner does a fire start then it blows up big time. One fire is just a couple of miles east and a mile or so north of us, the smoke is choking. Karen is on 100% O2 and I'm going to load her up and head to the local IHOP where we can wait it out. Not worried about the house, it's not in danger, breathing is the problem.

but there's still a fresh wind!

It caught me, I certainly didn't go out looking for the damned virus!

I'm fully jabbed so it's just a question of riding it out - sorry for the belated posting of UG2 but I chose my bed rather than my desk yesterday. Meanwhile, I'm back at my desk and I may have been working on something new .....

Well I am back and I hope I have not lost too many steps in getting this one posted

On my end had lots of changes with housemates moving in temporally with kids that NEVER slow down and are rarely silent. But you got to help other in need even if you sacrifice a VERY clean home to the dirty kids god or devil!

BUT since I am back please read and nit me up with what ya feel on this posted story? I am not sure its back in my flow jsut yet, but more will come soon-ish!

Be evil...Be a Drow we have poison cake!

so last night, I was supposed to do a home sleep study, and I blew it badly, not being able to connect the hoses properly.

so I'm going to have to try again tonight.

meanwhile, I think my manic phase is ending and I am heading downward, so hugs appreciated.

is everything!

When I see feminists waving "Smash the Patriarchy" banners it annoys and amuses me. The "All men are Rapists" ones just annoy me.

There is no real agreement as to what the Patriarchy is. It seems to be used as a catchall to be used by feminists.

There was a theory that ancient society's were matriarchal, but that theory seems to be discredited now. Hunter gathers do seem to be more egalitarian, rather than matriarchal.

Saturday morning, Norma and I were woke up by one of our sons knocking on our door and saying there was water pouring into his room. His room is directly below our en-suite bathroom, and as i ascended from sleep, I heard water spraying. We wondered if someone was showering in the main bathroom (right beside ours) and the answer was no. I opened the door to our bathroom to find water running across the floor. A fitting underneath the sink had broke during the night, and water was spraying all over under the sink.

The writing is going slowly, which I think is understandable. Besides completing the disposal of Mother's estate I am (Finally!) completing the income tax information needed to send off to the CPA. So, it will be a while before I post anything new.

I might post some of the early Gifted Saga stories, which are about Marian Holst. They have little or no TG material but plenty about transformations and their aftermath.

What I'm wondering is those that transistioned after say, 20 years old, do you notice sexist remarks and how you are treated differently as a female than you were presenting as a male.

One of my stories had some of this in.The character was laughed at when she gave an opinion on football. Her partner ordered her drink and food without even asking herThis was guesswork though.

In the 80's I saw a documentary where a man posed as a women for a few days with hidden cameras.(post Tootsie)

Sir Keir Starmer on Friday that ‘trans women are women’. Labour’s leader had attempted to end criticism that its MPs were tying themselves up in knots over what defines a woman.

Asked the question in a newspaper interview, he said: ‘A woman is a female adult and, in addition to that, trans women are women, and that is not just my view – that is actually the law. He added: ‘It has been the law through the combined effects of the 2004 [Gender Recognition] Act and the 2010 [Equality] Act.

How many chapters are there to Drew Goes South?

So the last chapter of The Hands of the Morri is posted.

I found this on an old youtube video. It was about a guy that wanted to make it law that men sit down to pee.

I'd love to see how it would have been enforced. Camera's? or some sort of device that keeps it all between your legs? That could have right out of one of my feminist dystopia stories.

For a day that started off with me feeling kind of lazy, I actually accomplished a few things. I took out the garbage, vacuumed the floor, did my laundry and reorganized part of my bookshelf.

not bad for a lazy girl, eh?

The Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill will amend the Gender Recognition Act 2004 to introduce new criteria for applicants who wish to obtain a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC).

Obtaining a GRC means a trans person is legally recognised in their acquired gender and can obtain a new birth certificate showing that gender.

The Bill will require applicants to make a legally binding declaration that they intend to live permanently in their acquired gender. They will no longer need to provide medical reports or evidence.

I'm writing a story that references Phil Donahue having cross-dressers on his show and I want to get the time frame correct. I need to know just how old one of my characters needs to be to have seen the show.

I can find them on YouTube, but can't find out when they aired.
