What I remember is that is was about a kid how living as a boy at home, but attending school as a girl. I think they changed clothes somewhere in between.
Parents didn't know.
Vague, I know, but here's hoping.
*Edit*
Seems to have been found. Thank you all for the quick response
I was reading a cheerleader story by own of the authors here and something made me sit up and go "Wha?"
The cheerleaders were getting ready for a high school football game, and using the girl's locker room.
This is a big goof because when there's a game between two high schools at one of the schools, the home team using the boys locker room. the visiting team uses the *girls* locker room.
The cheerleaders get stuck with changing one of the girls restrooms.
I've noted a certain type of spelling error becoming very common in stories.
There are a lot of verbs that occur in pairs where the second one is the first one wioth an E on the end.
hop, hope
rat, rate
slop, slope
And many more.
There's a rule about how the past tense of these words is spelled. You double the final consonant on the ones that don't don't end in E before adding the -ed.
Ok, as some folks know, someone here in Oregon sued for the right to list their gender on their ID as "other". and they won.
Back in May or June it was announced that Oregon DMV was going to change the process and forms to allow anyone to do that.
I grabbed a copy of the "Change your Gender Designation" form back in June, but it hadn't been updated. eventually I'm going to upload it to my website as historical document.
Once again I've noted a couple of frequent grammatical errors in stories and thought I should try to help folks avoid them.
First off we have the "[person] and [pronoun]" construct.
For example "Shelly and I went to the store" or "The boys threw something at Shelly and me".
Note that the [person] always goes first. But getting that backwards is a minor error. More common (and jarring) is using the wrong form of the pronoun. In the above examples, that would be: "Me and Shelly went to the store" or "The boys threw something at Shelly and I".
While re-reading Frills, the attempted kidnapping reminded me of another story. But I can only remember a few details.
The t-girl in the story got grabbed from her front yard at night, just short of crossing over into her next door neighbor's yard. I recall something about a dumpster. Either she was dumped in one after being raped, etc or som e evidence that led to her was dumped in one.
And at some later point she plants a tree/bush on the spot in the yard where she was grabbed.
Anyway, that's all I can recall, and it's driving me nuts.
While going thru the 100+ gigabytes of old Dr. Demento shows on my hard drive, I stumbled across this short that further investigation revealed that he's only played twice.
Ok, time after time I see stories with the protagonist whose "balls haven't dropped yet" and that either say outright, or strongly imply that they do so at puberty.
As someone born male, this always bugged me. Because I clearly recall mine being there as far back as second or third grade. Let's just say it involved a stupid dare, ok?
So I finally did some digging on medical sites.
Guess what? They normally "drop" sometime before *birth*.
Ok, things are going to slow down for a bit. Most of what I've been posting was already written and only needed editing/rearranging.
Now I'm getting to new stuff (or at least newly completed/expanded) and things are likely going to be more spaced out.
Also, my muse decided that now was the time to take the note (and a couple paragraphs of actual story) I had for Don & Alice and go with them.
Don and Alice are *different*. VERY different.
I suspect that many people aren't going to like their background a lot. Alas, they are what they are. And their background, interests, etc are a big part of how they wind up at Whateley as well as how & why they have their abilities.
She was mainly aiming at the Littles community, but it applies to many of us here. If you aren't willing to post the pic publicly, you might not want to send it to someone you don't know really well.
Also, a warning for the under 18 folks. Sending nude pics to someone can get *you* busted for producing and distributing child pornography. It's happened to teens in several states.
I found yet another dodge top display translations/definitions. Found this one while reading Wanda Cunningham's "Danny's Girl" chapter 4.

In the last couple of days, I've seen the *same* stories appear on the "Random Solo" several times.
Just now, for example Giddy Up Go - The Real Story by Carla Ann showed up when I refreshed the page. It showed up about 12 hours back as well. This is the 4th or 5th time I've had a story show up again. In the last 2-3 days.
Also, some authors seem to show up rather frequently. Though this may just be because they have a lot of stories here. :-)
Back when I was a teen, I was definitely fairly trans. Though I hadn't a clue that such a thing existed.
I recall things like standing in front of a full length mirror with my boy parts tucked back between my legs. And trying to tape things back inside for a smooth front. Never could get the tape to hold though...
Then I found a book mom had been reading. I read it. And it was my introduction to transexuality. It was also why I didn't even *think* about it for a number of years afterwards.
I've run across a particular error in a number of stories here recently.
People are writing about having been "put through the ringer".
That's wrong. It's "put through the *wringer*". A wringer was a gizmo on early washing machines where you used a crank to turn a pair of rollers which you fed wet clothing between. They'd squeeze out the water.
Getting a finger caught in one was rather painful for obvious reasons.
These days you find wringers on some industrial type mop buckets.
It's been a *lot* of years since high school, and I find myself needing a better idea of what sorts of things they have the kids doing in PE these days. Especially at the start of the year, and at the start of the second semester. Both boys and girls PE.
Heck, I'm not even sure what sports practices would be going on those times of year (Sept/Oct, and Jan/Feb)
So if you have recent experience (either yourself or your kids, let me know. It's for some of the story plotting I'm doing.
Ok, a few thoughts on expanding/extending my Transformations essay. Just noodling around, but I will be describing things that are "mature" (including genitals), so beware.
