as we are going to get here on earth. The people here for the mostpart seem to have been traumatized and beaten down by those who say they care, and nowhere would we of big closet even dare take a stand except with our peers. Here in Big Closet we canbe ourselves but I know of another place too where most are straight but have very decent attitudes towards us. Sage Sweetwater, the Firebrand Lesbian Novelist is there too as am I. I will not give out the link unless I have permission, but know that what I said in my blog "The Times They Are A Changing" is true. The times are changing in our favor, and we have a long way to go yet, but we are getting there. The word transsexual is an everyday word and life. I mean, if someone said they would pay me $2,000,000 to be a man, I would have to tell them that even though it would be nice to have the money, there is no way I can live as a man. 1. I don't know the first thing about being a man, and 2. if you want to pay me to act like a man that is exactly what it would be; an act, and I would fail miserably at it.

Big Closet was there when I needed someone like me who understood what I was going through. I haven't said anything that wasn't true. I did have a wonderful pre-adolescence as a girl. My teen years though is another matter. But the attitude I portray in my stories is from my pre-adolescence because the attitude towards me was one of love, acceptance, and trust. I was allowed to live my life, until the storm came. But that is for another story.

This is a good rendition of the traveling song from Madagascar 2. Thank you for sharing

Way cool!! Reminds me of a short story where a lady helps a lion who has to eat porridge after hw loses his teeth. She gives him set of new teeth so that he can eat meat again.
