Looking for a story

Looking for a story that I read a few years ago. A pilot, I believe military, undergoes a swap (as part of a global swap) and ends up in the body of a little girl I think in Japan. I remember that she gets attacked by a man early on and escapes. She's taken in by a family. If I remember right, eventually she is reunited with his family. I've searched all the key words I can think of but can't find it. Can anyone help?

Looking for a story

Looking for a story. Couple goes to the south west for him to go to grad school. He lives as a woman. They get very involved in native american culture. He's a person with two spirits or something like that. Hoping someone with a better memory than me recognizes the description.

Thanks!

Looking for a story

I'm embarrassed on this request. There was a long story posted recently about a guy who marries his long time sweetheart and moves to Arizona for school. He is of native American ancestry and is a "two spirit" person. Many adventures and accomplishments. I don't think the tale ended and I think I remember the author mentioning health issues. It hasn't been that long but I can't remember the author or full name of the story.

Old computer giveaway

I've got an old Microsoft Surface tablet/laptop to give away. It's the atom CPU version of the Surface 3 so not too exciting but it has a nice display and the "type" keyboard with real keys. Battery takes and holds a charge. Includes power adapter/cord but I don't have the pen.

Would appreciate a pledge to cover shipping costs (probably around $12). US only unless you want to cover international shipping cost.

First PM claiming it gets it.

I can't believe I can't remember the name of author of this one.

Character catches his wife unfaithful and leaves - changes to true self on the way and ends up in a small town by the sea. (something like Penistone?) Finds true love, lots of cats, inherits riches....

Yeah, I should know which one this is.

Thanks in advance.

Ipswich Hedgehog Officer .....

As an enthusiastic reader of "Easy As Falling Off A Bike" aka "Daily Dormouse" I can't help but find this article as charming as the title suggests.

"A British woman now holds the world’s most charming job title: Hedgehog officer"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/animalia/wp/2016/08/29/t...

Wonder if there is a dormouse officer?

Computer to give away

I have an original Microsoft Surface Pro to give away. Caution - the battery will not take any charge and is EXTREMELY difficult to replace so it's only usable when plugged in. Includes power supply and type cover (keyboard). Seems to work perfectly except for the dead battery. First to PM me with a name and address in the US gets it.

Windows 10 reading mode - LIKE!

As an impromptu experiment I just tried "Reading Mode" in the Edge browser on Windows 10. Was reading the daily dormouse and thought that I'd see if it made it easier. Wow! Does a great job of just showing the article frame full screen. More like using an ereading device. However, it does not keep keep all of the text on the screen if I stretch the font. Oh well, I guess I take what I can get.

Win 10 seems to be a worthwhile install if you've got a Win 8 computer and probably if you have Win 7.

Yeah, it's Kentucky but I'd hope we'd be beyond this

Kentucky students using sex-segregated bathrooms and locker rooms could win $2,500 if they catch a member of the excluded biological sex there, under proposed legislation

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/kentucky-bill-catch-tran...

The bill’s sponsor, Republican state Sen. C.B. Embry, tells U.S. News the measure may need modification. He says he wouldn’t want teens to stage incidents to win payouts.

Story search

I must be getting old. Can't remember author or title of a relatively recent story. Officer on a ship is transformed into a women and marooned on a planet (and pregnant as part of the transformation). Native of the planet sees her covered with butterflies and thinks she is a spirit. Searches for her.

Appreciate your help. Thanks and happy new year.

Nothing to do with TG... "London Skyscraper Melting Cars"

Nothing related to TG but I know there are quite a few UK authors and users on this site. Have to laugh at this one. London skyscraper "melting" parked cars.... "The skyscraper's developers said they were seeking to rectify the problem which they blamed on the position of the sun at certain times of day." Hmmmm.... Sure, blame it on the sun. It's clearly out to get them. Perhaps a lawsuit against that pesky star? Perhaps it's something they might have anticipated. I don't think the sun has changed it's route across the sky recently.

Interesting article at npr.org on children and gender

Interesting article on NPR "Can Children Know, At Age 2, They Were Born The 'Wrong Sex'?"

http://www.npr.org/blogs/13.7/2012/05/24/153285061/can-child...

It refers to a longer article in the washington post on "Transgender at five". That one is a very intersting story that could just as easily show up here. Hope all goes well for the little kid.

TG story at SpearfishLakeTales.com

One of my favorite online writers has started posting a new book at his website: http://www.spearfishlaketales.com/17gm/gm.htm

The name of the book is, "The Girl in the Mirror" and you can probably make some guesses based on the book teaser below.

Wes has published some really good books online and self published. As far as I know this is his first that deals with a tg theme.

Amanda's Eyes - Chapter 17 posted on Fictioneer

I've posted chapter 17 of Amanda's Eyes on Fictioneer. As before, no tg content but a good dose of teen angst and romance. Some here have shown interest.

http://fictioneer.org/content/amandas-eyes-chapter-17-boo

Amanda finds some friends, Ken does an over the top halloween display and we see Kelly starting to understand what she's done.

Enjoy!
