Even though the author had stated she wanted to leave the story exactly where it had ended, there is a sort of "what if" aftersode to the story. I am including it here so that it may be read as well since it might not be found unless you knew where to find it in her stories. ~ Sephrena

As I wrote recently...

There’s honest and then there’s honest.

I knew she was right. It was my derp and I had to consider how Jack must have felt having that suddenly dumped on him. I realized that while the entire world didn’t need to know my personal business, someone who I felt like maybe knowing a little better did need to know. And that had to happen before things got really personal.

She likely will find that as painful as honesty can be, it’s still a pesky part of relationships. I’m believing her Mom that it’s ‘not too late.’ Thank you, my dear sweet girl for brightening my day!

The Ending Worked For Me

Just read your blog about this story, and I think you ended it at precisely the right moment. The prognosis is certainly hopeful; if Jack wasn't interested in keeping the relationship going he wouldn't have got in touch.

I like Kerrie. On the surface she comes across as amazingly shallow and self-centered, then you realise she's embarking on a voyage of discovery most girls begin at a much younger age. And becoming obsessive about those aspects of her appearance she can control allows her to take a healthier attitude towards the ones she can't.

Ban nothing. Question everything.

I think any time Kerrie came out, the reaction would have been close to the same as it was. yes I do feel that she and jack should reconcile. it does seem to have started his phone call. I hope for the best for them. keep up the good work.

Hi, Kelly

Thanks so much for a great story. How much is autobiographical? Did you have to move all those times because you outed yourself? Were your parents really that great? I think the parents in this story are just super good.

And...... Yes for together!

Hugs and Bright Blessings,
Renee

The rest of the story.....

I truly enjoyed this, but I'm left hanging and would love to see the story continued.

Fatal Flaw.

Pg 20. Why is it that we have this "moth before the flame need"? This is a really important story told in a really realistic way. For most of us, we will NOT have the support of loved ones, in fact we often pay with our lives for the disclosure of our true selves.

Still, I think every "wanna be" T girl should read this. It is the Transgender 101 orientation.

Wow, this is great Psychology

You seem to be hitting all the important places in this transition debacle.

I actually think that if a child were doing this so early, that a "cover story" should be written; say that the child had medically verifiable issues that caused transition. I know it is creative truth telling that some would call a lie, but for all the hell that we endure, it is excusable.

Later, after SRS, one could simply say they are "sterile". Just seeing what Muggles do with these issues if incorrectly revealed makes it worth it to me.

Is honesty the best policy?

Ole Ulfson's picture

I always thought so and have always been honest with the women/girls I love. That said, it hasn't worked well for me, always leading to rejection. Still, I think honesty is the best policy. Better to tell the truth beforehand and face the consequences, than to have a loved one find out later and feel betrayed.

Still, it doesn't always work out! I told my wife to be 4 months before the wedding: I thought it only fair to give her an "Escape clause" if she couldn't deal with it. She told me that she loved me not what I wore, and that I treated her as an intelligent person in her own right unlike her father who was extremely overbearing. I've always made sure that our marriage was a true partnership. However after 8 months of marriage, she changed her mind and banned that part of me from our 40+ year marriage. I love her, or I wouldn't still be with her, but suppressing part of myself hurts. It hurts more after 40+ years.

Is honesty the best policy? It didn't help me much... Still it seems right!

As you can see this very well written story hit home.

It was good

I enjoyed reading this story, even as I disliked Kerrie as a character.
Someone commented that her self-centred behaviour was due to her finding herself/exploring herself as most other girls would have done earlier in life...
and I guess that's okay.

Something just didn't click between her and I. Maybe I was envious of her lippie collection? ;)

Anyway, the story was well-written and got its points across fine, even as I can only imagine what happened in the end.
[*in optimism land* they get back together but Kerrie actually listens to Jack when he asks her to respect his boundaries rather than just jumping on him every time...]

Hi Again, Kelly; 3 yrs Later.

I think my questions on how autobiographical your story was are answered. Your other stories are much more about your real life... I'm pretty sure.

Just wanted to comment that I'm glad to see a serious story about another Tgirl with 'genital dysphoria'. In many stories I've read recently, someone mostly transitions then starts having sex with an accepting guy or gal, then: 'Who cares about surgery?' Many of us don't have GRS just to have sex with no questions with more people or to shower in public, etc. We many can't stand our old parts any more than we can stand presenting in the wrong gender!

In my case, I was impotent with as many wimyn as I made it with, could never last long and after just a little HRT was always limp as a rag, even when having my first female orgasms. I always longed for relationships with wimyn and am now mostly lesbian, so my impotence wasn't because of desiring a male partner.

Thank you again!

Hugs and Bright Blessings,
Renee
