"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.

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

A ballot initiative is going to go absolutely nowhere. They're wasting their time.   Carolyn Marie

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.

      I feel a little better about going outside. I got my EpiPen just in case of an emergency. Today was rough started euphoric and then depression hit real hard and I don't even know what it was about. It just happened. I want to see a bright future but it turns dim because of something. I was disappointed on how much supplemental insurance was more than regular health insurance. I enjoy seeing other successful people making it as a couple through everything in fact I cheer them on but it just makes me think if I will find anyone. I barely dated anyone when I was physically fit male and then it seems the older I get it gets harder. Not to mention everyone down here leaves as soon as they find out I'm trans. It's only going to get more difficult because of borderline personality disorder. It's dang near seems impossible that people would even put up with that. After all that I'm still trying to be positive and hope for the best but I always expect the worst and that has always been the case. Pushing 40 and I haven't even experienced true love.

      Good afternoon everyone,    I’ve been working in the shop and preparing a few training props for shipping. So my responses and activity here has been very slow. I’m doing well just real tired.    Hugs,    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      That’s good news, listen to your doctors and your body. You may be asked to start a daily exercise routine and walking around the neighborhood. The worst thing you can do is become sedentary and laying around.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
