New law gains in Ireland:

I just wish to say thanks to all the authors whom have shed light on my world in the form of entertainment. My life seems so bleak and hopeless at times, i.e. today, and it is such a wonderful thing to be able to escape into a good story and forget the depression and hopelessness. I am reminded of doing the same as a child/teenager because the story always ended in the positive. I know mine won't and today I just don't care!!

Just posted the last chapters of Cynthia and the Queen of the Knight. There was a intentional pun in the next to last chapter. I wonder if anyone will catch it. This was a fun story to write, and I'm sorry that it didn't create the interest I hoped it would. I guess there wasn't enough angst and abuse, and SRU is apparently passé. I would love to hear from the readers.

I just found a great place on the web for really inexpensive wigs and clothes as well as jewellry. It's

http://www.sammydress.com/

The prices there are unbelievably cheap. Wigs I've been paying 30-50$ for are under 20 dollars. They also have human hair wigs from 50$!

I don't know the quality of their merchandise, but I have placed an order online and will let you all know how good their stuff is or isn't when it arrives. Check them out. They even have clothes and swimwear for plus sized gals.

There are some amazing stories on this site. We are blessed with so many good authors, who give us their stories for free, when they are as good or better than anything in any bookstore.

I almost hate to list some of my favorite authors, simply because I'm afraid I'll forget somebody who deserves the mention, and they'll feel bad for being left out.

That said, I wanted to say something about a story I just re-read.

Except I don't think I can do it justice, so all I can say is if you've never read it, you should, and if you have, you should read it again.

It's not often that a Murdoch publication prints something as objective as this.

Transgender children: what's behind the spike in numbers?

I hope the link works.

Yup, my first weekend without work and the first weekend Gaby posting!

I've discovered that the basic article is true. You need to be brave to transition.

I'm not sure is Valerie Hope visits this site, but if she does, please contact me at any of my email addresses!

I tried the email address I have from my site, but it's dead!

Thanks in advance!

Getting a story out onto paper (or into a computer) is easy at times, and more difficult at other times. Regardless of ones efforts, editing must be done before it is shared with the world.

I have been working on a book (a memoir) for four years now. I think I am done, but I now need to do some editing. Not my best skill with my own writing. It also takes a lot on a 101,000 word book.

Passive Verb Tense: This is one of my biggest issues. I have had this problem for years. There are places that you want it, but I have found I use it way too much.

It's that time again. We have bills.

If you can, please use the Janglewood link to send us a gift.

Or you can use the Hatbox subscription link to subscribe to Hatbox.

Since Amazon discontinued their service via Amazon Payments, both of the above links will lead to PayPal. We hope to have direct credit card acceptance working sometime in the future but that isn't that easy to set up.

And here's Chapter 14... a little late, but there was a good movie on :))

Goes out to everyone who answered my blog about helping my Veteran friend! I've forwarded all the info you have so graciously sent. I hope it does some good for him. He's a really super nice guy and he deserves a lot better treatment than he's getting right now. He accepted me as Cathy without so much as a raised eyebrow so anything I can do for him is small enough repayment for his caring friendship.

i was trying to recall one of the story that i have read on here its about a boy in is collage ages where he his girlfriend and his best friend go and see a stage hypnosis. After hes hypnotized he can only see him wearing girls cloths even though he was wearing boys cloths. I remember the first part during the stage hypnotists he said that it he was wearing his star wars t shirt and not the Alice in wonderland dress that he saw him self wearing. I just cant remember the name of that story it was really good.

HHmmm.

It seems I cannot log into transgender forum and there is no contact process that I can find to discover who has used my email address. My attempt to sign up was blocked because my email address has already been used by someone. I tried all my own passwords but no luck. Seems I'm not wanted on TG Forum.

Ahh well there are plenty of other sites on the internet.

Caitlyn's ESPY acceptance speech started off slightly off key but quickly became . . . perfect.

Hello.

First, I am not asking for kudos, nor reviews.

But, over the literal thousands of pages I had posted on this website. This chapter of Badasses Of the Multiverse. Book 5: Volume 1: Chapter 18: “Sealed Can Of Savvy Awesome.", is one of my favorite chapters.

The reason that this is one of my favorite chapters, is that I found this part of my story arc to very funny to write. I laughed quite a few time, while I wrote it. And I hope, that if you give my story a chance, you will find it funny to read.

Thank you,

Paul Cousins

Doppler Press would be remiss if we didn't send a heart felt congratulations out to one of our authors, Katie Leone, on her current success.

Currently UNREACHABLE is a best selling book in three genres and is ranked number 20th overall in Juvenile Fiction (#622 out of all ebooks on Amazon). No small feat.

Katie is also ranked as the number 97th young adult author on Amazon.

Kudos to Katie. Good job in joining the list of successful authors from Big Closet.

After a long day, curl up with chapter ten ;)

Well it's that time of year again. I'm working too many hours still and still doing parental care plus now the humidity and the heat's getting rough levels here and to top everything off my lying and theiving drug addict brother's hitting the point where the hard cheap drugs are meeting his age and he’s even more of a mess, a mess that other family who are just as bad as him now want to dump back into my life.

So like the last brotherly drama writing will likely be nil for awhile.

I will be using both hands just to hang on, so typing will be slow.

Just saw this: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/14/us/pentagon-plan-would-let...

Claims of business monopoly against Amazon

There is a meme going around showing russia's new pride flag as being the transgender pride flag. That would be incorrect. This is what Russia's straight pride flag looks like.

A different point of view.

TW: R*pe, Violence against Trans women

The expected change to my working pattern kicks in this week - back to office hours Monday to Friday for the first time since 2004! This means that starting from next week, updates will be on Sundays not Wednesday. The new fast connection is in and running - thank you Virgin so with any luck a lot of my recent connection issues are now sorted.

Just a quick few lines to ask those who have uploaded stuff to Amazon for Kindle how they got the TG or LGBT.

I have tried, but sadly I appear to have been unsuccessful in finding it in the categories. Amazon are a little tight on categories and tags, so if anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks peeps,

Having had great success with my retelling of Tristan und Isolde, I decided to try once again with the retelling of a not so ancient tale. The story premièred on September 30, 1790 in Vienna, Austria under the title Die Zauberflöte. The story follows two young couples who have to go through several trials before they can reach their goal. Since the original tale involved magic, I didn't have any trouble inserting it into my version of the Spells R Us universe. Those familiar with the story should have no trouble recognizing the characters in their modern garb.

The last couple of days my dog has been trying to play with one of my cats. But every time the dog wanted to play, the cat would jump behind the couch. The dog would just stand that at the edge of the couch, wagging its tail stupidly and being all hot and bothered. It was weird, but I figured the dog had pent up energy and the cats were the only animals around that it could socialize with but the cats wanted none of it.

Life seems to be overwhelming me at the moment. I seem to be perpetually tired so I'm not writing as much as usual and when I do, I have problems posting because my broadband connection is very intermittent. I've tried contacting my ISP but they either don't get the emails or ignore them.

On Tuesday, it will be the 29th anniversary of my transitioning - well going to work in skirts, then the following one is the first anniversary of my son's suicide. His timing was impeccable.

I am so happy to announce a new eBook by Rebekkah deMere , in her 8 Dragon Saga!

" The Songs of Chi " is book Four (4) of the 8 Dragon Saga's second Trilogy !
Continue to follow the sisters and their friends as they rescue others from the clenches of slavers, and experience more transformations in the process, including more unexpected Gender changes!

Follow our heroes as they come of age in the dystopian world that spirals with out of control magic as they start the middle trilogy of the "Twins" story, our 8 Dragons Saga!

There is a significant on air Transgender battle happening in Portland, Oregon. The stations airing Anti Trans crap. The Stations are: KPTV, and KATU. The other stations are KGW and KGW.

If others could comment on the stories or paste them to facebook, perhaps we can be heard. I am commenting and pasting it to facebook or just commenting just to pester them.

I could use some help here.

I am not one of those people who thinks that "big boys/girls dont cry".

In fact, I think there some times when crying is exactly what you should be doing, and that crying can be good for you.

That said, I prefer to have a reason to cry, so what happened on my way to work last night was frustrating.

Out of the blue, for no reason I could figure, I was suddenly enveloped by grief, and it was all I could do to keep my car on the road until the feeling passed.

Ah, well.

I don't blog normally, because I honestly feel that my problems are miniscule compared to so many on this site. The fact is however, it is a fact with most of us that being transgender is affects our whole being, and sometimes I just want to quit thinking about it!

Today on Fox News an article has come out bashing the state of Oregon for its attempt to help gender dysphoric children with severe issues.

This is my list of the best movies ever (in categories):

For several years I have been limping along with a desktop computer that is now 13 years old. That will soon no longer be true. Thanks to the incredible generosity of a fan of my writing, a two year old laptop is on its way to me! I am simply blown away by this act of kindness. It's the kind of thing that makes you realize that, even with all the bad out there, the human race isn't a lost cause. We have a truly amazing family here, and I'm going to try my best, each and every day, to be worthy of it.

Hugs and love to all!

Yup, after the excitement of Gabycon you get a new chapter today too!

Yes, I use the punctuation version quite frequently.

But I didn't know about the tattoo ....
