Unless you are obsessed with UK politics you may have missed

In the ongoing process of selecting the new leader for the Conservative and Unionist Party and thus for the next UK Prime Minister there appears to be two main issues. How much they want to lower taxes (much, very much or extremely much) and the war on woke. In particular trans rights (or rather the limitiation thereof) appears to one of the most pressing problems the UK faces.

Clothing and gender

Re-reading some old comments I was reminded of how what is regarded as male or female garb depends on time and place.

In many countries men walk around in what really is the same thing as dresses. In Suva I saw a bunch of teenage schoolboys in their school uniform skirts. And what about the cute little skirts Greek guard soldiers wear?

If I remember correctly Romans despised Britons as barbarians for wearing bifurcated garments on their lower body.

The Beast of the Number or Vingt Mille Kudos Sous les Mers

Perhaps I’m not really the Beast of the Number but I do like to play with numbers. Hard to avoid that, burdened as I am by heritage and education. In the mix you have accounting, engineering, statistics-based “sooth-saying”, business administration. Oh, forget about that last, those people can’t count. I mean how hard is the equation of a straight line?

Boston T-party

I just learned that the history books got it all wrong.

On December 16, 1773 there was a large gathering of transsexuals in Boston. The partying got a little bit out of hand and some damage to property was done. Some partipants had overdone their "war paint" more than a little which subsequently has led to misunderstandings.

I'm very happy to be able to set things straight ;)

Music prodigies - Curiousity, NOT a complaint

This blog expresses curiousity. It's NOT a complaint

Just wondering what makes the music business such a fertile field for the authors here when it comes to young prodigies.

This blog is based entirely on my memory, which is fallible, and I have certainly missed many stories. However, my impression is that the frequency of stories about a young M2F person making a splash in music as a performer is much higher than other fields with the possible exception of modelling.

Grazie dieci mila

I'd like to extend a heartfelt Thank You to all of you for pushing the total Kudos count for my stories beyond 10 000!

That makes it more than a thousand per year since I posted my first story here in December 2008. My writing was a bit sporadic in the beginning. Actually you could divide my stories into three periods: two stories in December 2008, a number of extremely short stories in 2010 and the present bunch from October 2014 and on.

Interrupt normality?

Some of you think I interrupt normality. I'm not so sure in view of the following quote from
https://www.theguardian.com/education/2017/jun/22/teenage-bo...

"One boy told Devon Live he had been told on Wednesday the skirt was too short and his legs too hairy."

Don't worry, I'll keep trying to interrupt normality even when faced by hard competition :)

1547

When I saw that my latest story had 1547 reads I was reminded of the year 1547 when for a few days a truly formidable (positively or negatively) set of monarchs ruled in various countries in Europe at the same time:
