Books from Karen Rose tend to be my faves.

Bone mans daughters - Ted Dekker is my FAVE book of all time. It was amazing, loved it. LOVED it. Did i mention i loved it?!

Daniel - Ted Dekker is another good book, not quite as amazing as Bone mans daughters though.

Thr3e - Ted Dekker is another amazing book, but not quite as amazing as bone mans daughter....

i may have others to list soon when i've read a new book i recently got from an author i've never read before called Peter Robison. But i'm currently reading a Karen Rose book. "You can't hide" is one of my many faves of hers.

Not many knew i was a book worm did they? :P

This is an interesting topic for me.. I LOVE books..

My all time favorite is Romeo + Juliet. It is a tragedy, but it's also the second greatest love story ever written. (The first greatest love story ever written is your own ;) )

I'm also a big fan of The Twilight Saga. (particularly Breaking Dawn)

The House of Night series.

Immortal (It's a collection of vampire love stories)

Thirst No. 1 & 2

I could go on forever.

"Animal Farm" by George Orwell - it is a must read for any would be revolutionaries (includes the blueprints for how to stage it with all of its lofty ideals and why it eventually all falls into decay as time goes on and corruption takes over)

The soon to be published (keep your fingers crossed) "Poems From A Transgendered Heart" By Me (have your tissues handy!)

"Fables for Modern Times" by James Thurber

Love ya,

Sally

My favorite novel is From E to You by Chris d'Lacey and Linda Newbery, which no one else has every heard of and is a completely ridiculous YA novel about two kids jumping to increasingly insane conclusions about the relationships between their parents. IT IS AWESOME.

I also love The Jennifer Morgue by Charles Stross and The Gun Seller by Hugh Laurie.

I don't see him here, so I have to mention the novels of Vladimir Nabokov. I've read three. Lolita and Pale Fire were both extraordinary: like nothing else I've ever read and brilliantly written. Bend Sinister is also very interesting. I also like what I've read by David Foster Wallace; his book of short stories, Oblivion, is fantastic. I also read some cool essays by him in some collection that I forget the name of. One day I'd like to read his novel Infinite Jest, but it's supposed to be very difficult.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy(Douglas Adams just makes me laugh every page)and Animal Farm, nothing is better than a tale of the fall of a wonderful government style into Anarchy.

I'm pretty much into the classics when it comes to literature... "The Trial" by Franz Kafka and "The Forest of the Gods" by Balys Sruoga are probably my favourites. I also liked Nabokov's "Lolita" a lot.

My list of 'least favourite books' is a lot longer, thouhg :D I'm picky.

The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde and the LOTR trilogy by JRR Tolkien have forever been tied for my favourite novels.

I also adore everything by Isaac Asimov.

      Going to the conventions has been one of my ways to deal with this stuff. 
    • EasyE
      thanks for the insight ... good to know things are being well thought-out ... it is no easy topic for sure, as many of us on here have been wrestling with this stuff for years and decades...

      @KymmieLWOW! He is absolutely horrible! Definitely one of the worst boss's. 
    • KymmieL
      Well the boss is at it again. They misplaced a work order thinking I was the last one who had it, yesterday morning. I know where it is. Last thing I did with it was put it back on the counter. He accused me a couple times of having it last and put it somewhere. Come to find out, the other boss (his wife) had taken it. she put the work order paper in the recycle box.   Has he apologized about the accusations. He!! no. I am waiting for hadies to get frost bit.   So that was my morning.  But it is finally warming up here. currently 63 and windy.   Hugs, Kymmie

      I am gender fluid, leaning heavily towards trans masc. My eldest is male and despite all the "stuff" we deal with with him (autism, speech delay, etc) I found him to be easy to raise. When my middle kid (female) was born, literally the first words out of my mouth were "I don't know how to raise a girl!" And I really felt I didn't know. She showed me. She's still showing me how to exist as comfortable and completely secure in her gender expression. It is entirely awe inspiring to see all three of them feel so settled in their bodies in ways that I never, ever felt or feel to this day.

      That sounded like an awesome opportunity to dress as your actual self. I have to say I'm a little jealous lol. I never got compliments from people and definitely haven't been kissed. I can imagine that part was still really nice and boosted your confidence.

      I've been absent so much lately I feel as if I'll never catch up. Too much going on in our lives that's kept me away from the keyboard. and limited my time as "me."   I am so looking forward to your post on how you arrange your life. I know that I won't ever be able to fully transition so finding some happy balance is crucial for me.
    • Sally Stone
      Mae, you are so sweet for making this comment.   Desert Fox, you are so right.  I always knew that even though I was part-time, my motivation was way more complicated than a simple desire to wear women's clothes.   Your question is a timely one because in my next post, I am going to talk about how compartmentalized my life is, and the short answer is yes.  I have friends who only know Sally, friends who only my male persona, and a rare few that know both.

      @EasyE With my background in Behavioral Sciences I do go to actual conferences for the medical and psychological professionals that deal with Trans Youth, and in those conferences, the ethics of "too fast" versus "too slow and restrictive" are a heavy concern.  There is very thoughtful sharing among the participants for making professional judgments that the therapist is comfortable with without being afraid of what is "too soon" or "not soon enough" to advance to medical prescription therapies. The ethics of what constitute reasonable caution or unreasonable delay are deeply at play in those situations, with the idea to prevent harm while alleviating the patient's stress and other issues.  This type of conference fulfills Continuing Education license requirements that most states and other areas have.  From them the therapist may seem to "speed up" their evaluation process, but it is based on the accumulated experience of colleagues, just as is true in other professions and yes, even trades.

      That's wonderful news!! I took our pup in for her Vet check today - perfect. She slept 7 hours last evening and is coming along really well with her house breaking and crate training.   I know you'll have some excitement with a new Boxer!!

      Surgeries are drastic, and indeed should be a last resort for minors.  As indeed they are.  It is very rare for anyone under 18 to get gender-affirming surgery.  It is typically only done if the person would be suicidal without it.   Puberty blockers are a way to avoid the "drastic measure" of forcing the person to undergo the wrong puberty.  They should not be prescribed lightly, and I don't think they are.  They are a way to go slow until the person can truly make an informed decision.

      My Endo keeps track of several trace chemicals in my blood system that can be affected by our slightly different hormone balance, keeping in mind we have had both hormones all our life, just in different balance.  I did have to change one diuretic I was taking that was crashing out one chemical that does affect energy levels, and it turned out that Spiro was the alternative to that one for the way it works there.  I was never on Spiro for the hormone issues per se.  Let your doctor know about the fatigue sometime today or whenever you read this.
