Global Synthetic Developments UK Ltd. (GSD) is a fictitious UK company that will feature in a number of my stories.

Sometimes team sports can be a real challenge for someone who isn't athletically gifted. Of course, how much fun you have could depend on the team you're on.

The association started by accident really. Two gay friends, one Gareth a big rugby player, who played at a pro level, and runs a successful property business and has a very confident almost arrogant attitude but is smart enough to know how to use charm to get what he wants. The other Max, is completely the opposite, slight build, did cross country as a schoolboy and knew how to compete but stopped when he left school. His hero is his mother, she has always been there for him, worked to fit around his childhood, was always a stylish woman he was proud to be seen with as he grew past those awkward puberty years. His work career had never really taken off, college qualifications in media studies does not help in the real world, his interests were in art and creating visually interesting effects. When he meet Gareth he was working at a supermarket check out.

The association was formed with the intention of allowing suitable men to live as women. The association takes the attitude that 'if a job is worth doing, it is worth doing well', with this in mind all members shall be required to present and live a full female lifestyle. This does not necessarily mean an ultra feminine look, but at the very least definitely feminine.

 
David buries his wife after she loses her fight against cancer. He is nearly 50, and their children are now grown up, so he breaks the news that he is going to undertake that which he wanted to do for as long as he could remember — a sex change. He had struggled with his transsexuality all his life, but his love for his wife and respect for her meant he just played the hand that he had been dealt, up to now, that is.

Meanwhile, in the USA, grizzled Police Chief John Collingwood comes to near breaking point. Stressed from his job, his grief over his dead wife, and the despair of near alcoholism, he embarks on a trip to the UK with his brother to seek out his family tree.

Two very different people find a very different future, they also find each other...

As we sat, eating our breakfasts, I was in a very happy mood, as were the others. I did, however, notice that a few of the tables had empty places and wondered fleetingly if there were still some girls who didn’t accept what had happened yet...

As seen in A New Style of Education (in July of 2005) Rachel Ruiz is the Head of the Support Staff, and the previous year (as seen in Hidden Gifts), Kate Mayhew was head. What happened? Another staff change occurred at the same time. Dr. Sue only recently became the primary internist for the school. What happened to cause this change? Did something happen last year to cause this staff change? Was the change voluntary? I wrote this interlude to rationalize, in my mind, why some people in important positions might leave without jeopardizing the school — And, in the case of Rachel, lay the groundwork (in my mind) for why they recruited a new Head, rather than promoted from within.

Contemplating the evening's events as he sits in his room brings Andrew to the thoughts of meeting Alexandra's Father. ‘I had no idea. I should have guessed it would be something like that. She has the bearing of someone who has had imperial training. She must have recognized me the first time she saw me. Now I remember where it was I saw her, it was in my Father's bank in Percoin and I must have been about ten and she nine.
