Well, didn't manage to nurse the above for the summer. :dunno:

Currently reading "Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy.

This should take the better part of the summer.

If not, I guess I'll need to start reading "War and Peace.<giggle>

I'm currently reading The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell. It's sci-fi with a literary fiction feel, and I'd heard great things about it, but I was not prepared for how amazing I'm finding it to be!! Love this one so far.

Right now articles about Thomas Picketty's book Capital in the 21st Century. I think I need to get the book as well. It's an interesting set of premises. I'll have to see if I feel convinced of his position after reading it.

Funny autocorrect. Philip K penis is famazing; have you read "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep"? Its super-downer, but a very deep take on human empathy and the nature of the soul. penis is my 3rd favorite scifi author behind Bradbury. 451 is mindblowingly good.

Currently rereading Wicked, and then slogging through Steven King's Under the Dome to prepare for the miniseries this summer.

I do love me some philip K penis.......

Couldn't help myself. :blush:

I started reading "Trans Activism in Canada a Reader" Edited by Dan Irving and Rupert Raj.

I found it at a WorldPride affiliate event.

I wanted to save the read for this winter but couldn't. :banghead:

Trans bodies, Trans selves.

Very well organized, I read the "history" sections tonight, quite informative.

Time to shamelessly plug my latest novel by saying that I am reading A Darker Side Of The Light by Sally Michelle Jackson but in truth, I am writing the next one which I hope to finish by October.

Shameless plug is over, continue with your reading.

Love ya,

Sally

The Horus Heresy books by a plethora of authors. Mainly reading these since I'm a huge fan of science fiction and I play warhammer 40k.

"Raising Steam" by Terry Pratchett. Not getting very far because of work, but it looks good so far. Also "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson, because I... forgot I was reading it. Due to work...

Bondage Of Self by Kaitlin S, Riordan.

I met Kaitlin at Southern Comfort Conference two weeks ago. She has about 3 months of sobriety more than I do but our stories are so similar that it is uncanny. Needless to say my copy of the book is author signed with a note to me about our dual sisterhood.

"Transgender Studies Quarterly" Vol. 1 . I doubt the next issues will be as book like but the first issue is 300 pages. The articles are very scholarly which makes reading difficult at night. It seems to promote a good nights sleep. Worth subscribing to however. Published by Duke Press if you want to order a subscription.

Hugs,

Ha! I've done that more than a few times. Just did that this week. Threw a book into my backpack, went to read it on the bus, only to discover there was already one in there.

I love Snow Crash. It's compared to Gibson's Neuromancer but for me it's not even close, love Snow Crash and gave up quickly on Gibson.

I haven't gotten around to reading more Stephenson.

I'm about halfway through A Game of Thrones, and then I also just started The Strain by Chuck Hogan & Guillermo del Toro, thanks to season 1 of the tv show ending and me deciding I needed more asap. So far, it's really good omg.

I'm reading "The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors," a fictionalized account of the real Battle of Leyte Gulf during WWII. I'm kind of a history buff, especially about that period.

I am not currently reading anything because I am in the middle of writing my fourth novel, the third in a series.

I cleverly waited until the second book of the series to introduce two trans characters.

I try not to read anything while I'm writing because I don't want to be influenced to copy someone's style.

Love ya,

Sally

      I agree.  But sometimes unethical conduct must still be legal, because the cure would be worse than the disease.  One problem we have today with the internet is the trolls can gang up on someone and destroy them - we see the with school bullying as well.   He was in the Southern Baptist Convention, and maybe he should have moved his church over to say the American Baptists, who might have been able to help him. A Southern Baptist pastor is king in his church, peerless, which means he could not have gone for help in his church.  And he could not have gone for help from any other pastor in the SBC because they likely affirm the SBC statements on these matters.  I think he was stuck.    I read this when it came out in the news.  Very sad situation.

      One organization that I know of that is dedicated to assisting LGBT seniors is SAGE.  They advocate for, and have services for, all LGBT folks, not just trans folk.  You can find their website Here.  I am not sure what, if anything, they have in terms of financial assistance.  I'll let you know if I find anything else.   Carolyn Marie

      This was an angle that I was very suspicious of as well, and may be the hook on which the settlement was hung.      Not at all strange especially if they had former patients who moved there that still owed money on their bills or they were buying hospital supplies from a Texas corporation. They may have business licenses in other states as well.  Small loss, but saxeT shot itself in the foot there since the license was a source of income to the state. 
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Nah it's fine, I'm past the point of really blaming them most of the time. I've gotten used to it, and they could be a whole lot worse.   I'm glad you have a good place, though <3

      I wonder about the professional knowledge level here.  Men have milk ducts.  She, as a nurse, should know this.  This is interesting  https://www.livescience.com/45732-can-men-lactate.html  Yes, men can lactate and have lactated, trans or cis.  The idea that Birdie does not have milk ducts or tissue is just plain wrong.  Her statement indicates that she has not looked at the medical record, which she should be familiar with to treat the patient.

      Trans women can lactate under the right conditions. But that's not even the case in your situation.  It's so stupid how they simply refuse to accept your reality.

      I used to include going ti worship but no longer    awkward good fir you. enjoy. :)   raine  sorry. my family is pretty lousy at support too. my part time job helps alot. hope it gets better fir you n all

      It takes a lot to make me that way. Then it depends on which side comes out. I could simply walk away or be very confrontational. I'm used to being made fun of and criticized. I don't take to kindly if someone talks about my kids or family though. 
    • missyjo
      aren't folks odd ..just dress differently..like pick to be a boy for today instead of the girl you're screaming you are really..so that I can be more comfortable...needs   I'm sorry   I have family wedding this summer too..I've said for 2 years I'm not going n I've skipped holidays for that period..now I'm being told I'd best be there in boy mode...yeah right..laughs   sorry. I'm planning on once again skipping the event. until you'll let me attend as myself, I guess you dint really miss me that much .so I find something else to do n just accept the number of folks who unconditionally love me is a lot smaller than claimed.  oh well.   good luck sweetie

      Mia, forgive me, I should have introduced myself. Hi, I’m Bette. I work with trans youth and I have many young trans friends; the other day I was at a party with 30-40 of them. If you’re envious of young trans folks I understand; when I left that party I broke down in tears thinking of all I’d missed out on as a young person. But I was also happy for them, and if anyone were to try and take away their happiness I would fight for them with all my strength.   I don’t know you, but it seems to me you’re angry about more than just your inability to find help? I’m very sorry to hear that you are struggling, but I hope you are not blaming young trans folks for that. Imo there is a generation gap in the trans community and it needs healing, not exacerbating. We are far stronger when we are united.
