Sometimes you find out something that happened some time ago and affected you, but you didn't know it to respond in time.

I just discovered that Janice Lynn Miller, aka J.L. Miller, a friendly, thoughtful and prolific commenter here on BCTS and also a financial supporter of the site, passed away in December 2018, just four days after her last set of posts commenting on stories here. She had more than one account over a period of years, so you might have known her under a slightly different name.

If you don't know where you're going, does it matter when you get there?

Can Pete face a situation he didn't want to think about?

A day of contrasts:

Outside, snow is falling on the street beside my mobile home:

Inside, we had this delightful salad with lettuces, tomatoes, eggs, salami and a lemon dressing:

I hope all are warm, comfortable and have something nice to eat.

Hugs,
Erin and Melanie

Poor Pete! Now that his coach knows that he's growing breasts, will he still be able to keep playing football?

“You mean gynecomastia?” Megan suggested. Had Dr. Verre mentioned the word? I didn’t remember. Somehow I did know what it meant so I must have heard it somewhere. Breast growth on a boy...

I lay back down and pulled my sheet and thin blanket up to my chin, and sighed. It just might be good bikini weather tomorrow, after all.

Trans people deserve to be:
- Seen
- Respected
- Loved
- Housed
- Employed
- Protected (by the law and other people)

Trans people don’t deserve to be:
- Mocked
- Ridiculed
- Harassed
- Assaulted
- Killed
- Ignored by liberals and progressives
- Attacked by conservatives

Trans people are:
- Really fucking tired
- Please send pizza

Lots of new experiences for Pete as she confronts her own sexuality.

Maybe I was really in a bad accident, lying in a hospital bed, out of my mind on painkillers.

“Couple hours sleep, and you’ll feel like a new woman.”

"I got something for you, well, for us," Megan said, giggling again.

Chapter 23

I hit Number Seventeen around the hips, putting my shoulder into his belly, using my momentum to bear him backward, falling on top of him. I dug at the ball, but he didn't let go....

Football is a rough sport. Is Pete still tough enough to play?

The mall was already crowded and being around people was making me paranoid. Everyone was staring at the boy with the big breasts.

Pete's problems are getting her down, maybe a pep talk in the boys' locker room will adjust her attitude...
