I was nearly terminated while out on a bike ride today, a car came up to a T-junction which I was cycling across and therefore had right of way, when he just carried on obviously not seeing me despite me wearing an orange, back and white jacket. The only reason I'm able to write this is because I took avoiding action, half expecting it to happen. I'm getting tired of having to think for all the morons driving round in lethal weapons that cars are and I feel the law ought to be changed to reflect the fact that most car-bike collisions are the fault of the driver.

I absolutely detest it when the weather changes, since it causes my copd to act up. :(
Having no energy to do anything but sleep because it is so hard to breathe, just because it started to rain / got dry / got windy / wind dies down ... ( ad nauseum )

then today, we got a wind storm, which broke a window it was so strong. 20 minutes later[ 11:30 am PDT ] CABOOM one of the electrical transformers just behind the building exploded.

~sigh~

11:44 PM and we finally got power back

In other words, after weeks of dieting and exercise, I've come to the unsettling realization that I was more passable when I was fat. (Less fat means my features are more angular and hence, less feminine). I essentially lost my best asset when I lost the weight, and earlier today, I suffered the consequences.

It was a good day. I'd been pretty good about trying to eat healthy and and at least cut down on the bad stuff, and the results are beginning to show. The weather was warmer than it's been over the past week, with the promise of it becoming warmer still tomorrow. All in all, nothing to complain about.

That's usually a danger sign. It's like an open invitation to God/Fate/the cosmos to give me their worst. And sure enough, that's exactly what happened.

What happened to the Relationships section of users' accounts? Some users have it, others don't now.

This is a good one Kittens! Loads of action!

Story about a brother and sister brother was always pick on at school so as they got older sister was getting tired of it so much that one day as the two of them was driving home she saw them she ran them over the brother loving his sister so much took the blame for it they found him guilty. Ended up on death row. The government knew he was innocent but had to make it look good they turn him into a girl. Hope some one remembers the story thank you.

I wanted to blog. I really did. I wanted to talk about gender and the difference between being transgender and just thinking what would it be like to be the other gender. I'm sure many guys out there wonder what it would be like to be a girl. I don't think that would be the same as wanting to be a girl. Even Jeff Foxworthy does a routine about picturing himself as a woman.

Early AM on Friday, 28 August 2015, I will have surgery for a mass in my abdomen. As of now the doctors don't know what it is.

Happy bounce indeed! Mandolin packed, cycle panniers packed, tent reproofed: tomorrow morning I am off to Shrewsbury yet again for four nights and three days of music!

Yay me!

This is a BBC programme about Scafell Pike, and it should give a real insight to what Stevie loved. It has a shepherdess in it. It has Fat Man's Agony. It has JOSS!

Two topics:

• Bathroom use is going to be a major issue, "Bathroom Gate" is back again.
• LGBT discrimination, and many political issue for those of the LGBT community.

I've been working on a personal project for quite some time that is the pure unembellished truth. It is frank and brutal at times, and at other times it is happy and joyful. It is partially TG, but most of it is not even remotely about that.

To maintain complete ownership of the story, I will not employ an editor but perhaps a proof reader. The publisher will agree to keep the story intact.

Trying to remember a story, it was about a boy who turned into a girl and learned majic from digging up a waystone that was apparently dark majic. ended up being a person in charge

Any ideas

A bit of background first: I'm unable to transition for many reasons including being 5'-20" tall. Yet, I'm also 47, XXY and the proud owner of some natural A+/B-- breasts on my otherwise slender frame. Since I'm posting here, I'll give you three guesses what my mental gender alignment is...

So yesterday I got asked by a male coworker If my recent injury (dislocated wrist) has impacted my training regimen much - and indicated towards my pecs. I told him I might have to transition to something different.

Many people have a chemical imbalance that causes depression. Others have forms of PTSD. I'm in the latter category.

I'm getting better, and that is a fact. I was a mess last Christmas, I let my anti depression meds run out and was spending Christmas alone (actually, it just felt that way).

MoonGoddess posted a thread something like this, and I responded. I agree with everything she said, if you are suffering you don't need to! Get help!

2 sites back up( beverlys balcony and crystals story site). maddybell.com still down. thank you erin and piper for your hard work.

Happy Friday Kittens! TRI Chapter 27 is posted for your enjoyment :)

Imagine the scene. A mother is talking to someone else

'I didn't have a daughter. I had a son who turned out a bit different'

Sounds familiar?

This was in a brief scenes of a forthcoming BBC TV series. It starts in September.

I wonder if it might turn out to be a tad interesting.

I only caught the tail end of the advert so I can't remember what the series was called.

"Firefox Reader View" generates an extra hit when exiting it.

Two readers mentioned that they thought I should've added something more about how Max survived falling to Earth, and I agreed. I just modified my story. Please see if the change doesn't make the story better.

After a long day at work I started browsing. A comment caught my eye and I followed the link.

That led me to Easy as Falling off a Bike Episode 88.

I then looked at the comments and saw this…

It's remarkable

I had a user of the site (who I hope to see more stories from soon!) contact me about my last list of Rules for Non-Suck Writing and ask my advice about a couple of things. While I was talking to them I made an observation that stuck me as something that could be really useful to share with everyone else too, so I thought I'd add it here:

Rule 11: Every Character is Don Quixote

For those interested:
2015 U.S. Trans Survey by National Center for Transgender Equality.

Have any of you had the felling that you have two personalities.

One being Male and the other being female. (But you are happy with you birth gender.)

Or both being male or female

As some of you have heard, those Trans-people are everywhere in the News and on the Streets.

What you may not have read or heard yet is, 'they' (read 'us') are now in the White House, location of much of the Untied States' political clout.

I have a disability in learning I need a proof editor if you want help me please message me or blog me I will continue my story the Amazons are very evil and are female supremacist want extinction of the male gender

I just posted the first chapter of a novel length story I am writing, but didn't get things exactly right. 1) How do I make my name show up as author instead of "New Author"? 2) How do I select multiple topics in the header categories (where it is allowed)? 3) I posted in an epub format, but what format should I use so that the story is actually visible without having to download the file. 4) How do I link chapters?

Just so nobody worries, I wont be around much the next while, between packing, moving, and (hopefully) hooking up in the new place.

Take care of each other, and take care of yourselves.

And have some huggles to give you warm fuzzy thoughts till I get back!

HUGGLES!

I know that we all wonder and miss certain writers and members of our group here. I have seen several such queries in the last day or so.
That being said, has anyone heard from or know what has happened to Christina H.? She is one of my most favored authoress' and I have not seen anything from her in a while. I know there were some health issues but I don't like to pry into personal matters unless asked or given knowledge of such.

Come out, come out Chrissy, wherever you are, We miss you!!

Well, I've finally found another excuse beside being lazy not to write. My Apple Mac finally gave up and said I've had enough. Poor thing is about six years old and is so slow it takes ten to fifteen minutes to load a site. It's the 21 inch model and I don't need the larger 27 inch version as it won't fit on my desk, well it could but the size doesn't justify spending an extra $700. The one I'm going to buy is bad enough. Not only do I write my stories on it, but I use it for my business as does my wife for hers also.

I found yet another dodge top display translations/definitions. Found this one while reading Wanda Cunningham's "Danny's Girl" chapter 4.

For personal real life issues, like not being allowed access to my grandchildren, I cannot live full-time as a woman. However, I find relief in going for regular make-overs to a very professional lady on the Gold Coast of Queensland (isn't that an ironic name?) who does a great job of transforming me into a somewhat realistic semblance of a female. I have to say that I love myself after she has performed her magic upon me, even though I can only maintain the illusion for a relatively short time.

As I believe in (among other things) total honesty, I have to say, I love recognition.

No, that's not quite accurate. "Crave it like a drug" would be closer to the truth.

Even so, I find myself at a loss when I'm recognized for all the wrong reasons.

This past Tuesday, I and the fellow residents of the apartment complex in which I live took part in an annual trip that's become sort of our farewell to summer. (As summers in Wisconsin have a kind of "blink and you'll miss it" quality, we get our goodbyes in early).

I've been watching the show I Am Jazz. I wonder if Jazz reads TG stories. Perhaps from this site. The same question applies to Caitlyn Jenner. I wonder if they know about this site and have ever checked out stories?

Book Three, Chapter Twenty Six is now ready to go,

For anyone who is interested, my fiancee has designed and posted an new design of a transsexual banner which I hope you all will share. It is so true and hopefully will get the message out to all who read it and re-post it.

Here is the link. It is not copyrighted so feel free to share.

Abby has done it again. Here is the link and image of the second trans tolerance poster she has made today. Sh is amazing.

Once again it is not copyrighted so you can use it freely as much as you wish.

For those participating in the role-playing game tonight...

If you aren't already aware, the chat server for BC has changed to http://chat.bigclosetr.us/c/ . It DOESN'T auto-reroute you to a room, though, so you'll have to manually direct to the dungeon via the [/JOIN dungeon] command.

I'm heading there now, and I hope to see everyone for the game tonight!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUU...
