"NOTICE : No Gender Left Behind by Rebecca Kling

Rebecca is a Trans* woman who had her SRS in December 2013, and wrote the chapters of the book to use as readings and performance art in her job as a transgender education teacher. Natasha, who is a member here produced a performance by Rebecca out here in North Hollywood back in January that covered highlights of Rebecca's lead up to her surgery and some developments of her immediate post-op life.

Hi!

I'm reading "My story" from Caroline Cossey! Is there someone who have read her first book - "Tula: I am a woman"? I hope that they will put it on e-variation too!

I love my Kindle because it allow me to read books about transgender topics, books that I can't find in Bulgaria and it is hard to purchase from Amazon. I was just amazed of the countless titles that they have, so I downloaded some samples and bought some titles. To this moment I've got:

1. "Redefining Realness" by Janet Mock

2. "Trans bodies, Trans selves"

3. "The Danish Girl"

4. "My story" by Caroline Cossey

5." Transgender explained for those who are not" Joanne Herman

6."Letters to my brothers"

7."Letters to my sisters"

and several little books by trans women. I've planed to buy Christen Jorgensen auto/biographies, Jennifer Finney Boylan's biographies, "True selves" and "Transgender Emergence"! For now! I'll be pleased if someone suggest some books! :)

Out of this I love many different styles. I have a big admiration for the fantasy literature, Stephen King and more...

I just finished reading the fourth installment in George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series. This one is entitled "A Feast for Crows."

I have to agree with most of the reviewers who said it was more boring than the first three, and several of the main characters, including the dwarf Tyrion Lannister were missing. That was because of a deliberate decision Martin made to divide the story into two separate books.

Still, it was entertaining and kept me going, and the twists at the end (Martin is great for that) were very satisfying and will serve to keep me hungering for the next book. Good stuff, and now the third book will be on T.V. very soon.

HUGS

I just love all the books from "A Song of ice and fire" and can't hardly wait to read what's happening next in the "Winds of Winter"! I hope that G.R.R. Martin will release it before 2018! :)

I am reading Casino Royale by Ian Fleming. It's a James Bond novel, so that basically explains the plot. After I finish it, I'm going to start reading Bioshock:Rapture by John Shirley about the conception and construction of the underwater city of Rapture.

I know why the caged bird sings - Maya Angelou

Autobiography of a black girl growing up rural Arkansas, that was written in 1969. Her perspectives on a segregated America in these times just before the civil rights movement (eye opening), a different view. Broadening perspectives on what an oppression could feel like (sound familiar ?) Beautifully written...

I found my copy of The Unnatural Squire in me storage by accident. I love that book. Especially the parts that come after the squire being changed to a woman by the sorceress. I'm friends with the author, she is the funniest comedians I know. Too bad the book is out of print. That's why I'm relieved to find it.

I'm going to read it again as I get time.

Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity, by Julia Serano (2007). Outstanding book, both depressing and empowering all at the same time.

Saving Alex by Alex Cooper and Joanna Brooks

"When I was 15 I told my Mormon parents I was gay, and that's when my nightmare began"

Alex was sent by her parents to an unlicensed "residential treatment program" setup through the LDS church in attempts change her sexuality. She was subjected to 8 months of abuse before eventually escaping this private residence in southern UT. She sued in UT court and won the right to be herself, as well as raising the larger issue of abusive "therapeutic boot camps" scattered across UT affiliated with LDS church members.

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one. 
    • Ivy
      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      April sounds fun..I keep some boy jeans to visit mom in..fir now   hugs

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
    • KathyLauren
      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie
    • Ashley0616
      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again. 
    • Willow
      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
