I have stopped writing, I know I just posted a little while ago so people may not have noticed.

Well, last night I had an incident that shows how much I've changed in the last while. See, I was on my way to work, and I stopped in at sub place to grab lunch, and the kid behind the counter said "What can I get you sir?" Now, I was in my wig, my wal-mart clothes, and was carrying a purse, so "sir" just wasn't the pronoun I would have preferred him to use. But while not that long ago an incident like that would have sent me spiraling downwards, I immediately thought "poor kid, needs better glasses, cant tell sirs from ma'ams." I think its a good sign, dont you guys?

I got the final word just this afternoon.

My Chemotherapy starts around noon on Monday.

And I have been accepted into the trial study of the immunosuppressant inoculations. There was a fifty fifty chance I would actually receive the injections, and the other fifty percent, that I would just be in the other half, being monitored periodically the rest of my life.

This week I've really been out of it, but I wanted to post the two stories I had ready. Knight and Dragon to BCTS and Spinning to StarDust. However, like I said I've been ill and actually messed up the title to my own story. LOL! I posted it as Dragon and Knight instead of Knight and Dragon. Even that wasn't the original title because someone else posted a St. George and the Dragon tale. The two stories are very different but I changed mine because I like all authors want to be remembered and unique. Then working on my Voodun story, I saw someone had posted one with that in the title too!

I just wanted to thank all my readers for their response to my latest effort, St. George and the Dragon. I was concerned that the reception might be considerably less positive than it was. Those of you who have been reading it know that the theme is not tightly tied to the TG experience; however, many of the trials one of the characters goes through are directly due to the homophobic beliefs of the people in the circle where she lives.

I got up this morning had a stretch and opened the curtains and smiled.

Not a bad view and I didn't need Photoshop. The mist on the ground over the fields was lovely.

Once you have voted in the current contest is there a way to remove the post at the top of the screen so it no longer shows?

This is a last ditched effort to save my site from being lost forever. I would assume that if you clicked the link to open this message, you would know who I am (Dawn Hamilton) or on this site as (Rountree Dawn) and what my site was (transgender tales from Roundtree Bay)

well, my little experiment with tampons is over. While the feeling was slightly uncomfortable, it wasnt horrible. Assuming it felt at all like what a g-girl feels like once a month, I have more appreciation for what they go through ...

mostly, for me this was mostly about being able to be stimulated there without feeling "dirty." In doing this, I took a little more ownership of my body today, and that's a good thing

Just wanted to post a quick note and let everyone know that the Robinverse is officially live!

I have read most of Tanya Allans books and one Nick B book on my Kindle from Amazon.Can anyone tell me of any other BCTS authors on Amazon.co.uk please.
P.S the two authors I have allready read I would recommend to all.

This is an apology to all those who commented on my story Alone. Normally, I try to give everyone a PM or a comment in reply. However right now, real life is being a real bear with coming down with a cold, and the usual bumps in the road of bad fortune. Like all authors I regard each one like they were gold, but right now I'm really out of it.
Big Hugs to everyone and I promise to get to those thank yous when I can.

All together now: awwwwwwwwwwwwww!And from Cathy's neck of the woods.

I thought I would share this for the benefit of those contemplating getting SRS. Hopefully you will be wiser because of what I am going to share.

Mine was done in Bankok, Thailand by Dr Kamon on August 15, 2006.

From the beginning Dialation of the Faux Vagina was problematic. The actual surgery was extremely simple and I had an almost pain free recovery. During post op Dilations of three times a day, I managed to achieve 1 1/4 inch diameter and 4 1/2 inch depth. When I left, I felt well but weak.

NaMoWriMo is this next month. (I hope I have that right)

I have never particiapated in it, but I believe this year I will give it a try. 3 years ago I had a good writing spell during Nov. and ended up writing 35,000 words. So I hope with a little bit of planning I can make the 50,000 word goal.

I've finished editing the first 37 chapters of HaP and am working on a detailed outline for the next 10+ chapters. I also have Princess and the Jock to re-write since the first few chapters were disasterous with errors. I could also work on Rock,Paper,Scissors.

For a few days I have been looking for my 38B padded push up bra, as I have a nice little dress that really makes the girls stand out. UM well, I'm not 38, but I use an extender and that brings it out to my 42. And before anyone says it, no it does not work that well because the straps always fall off my shoulders.

So, anyhow, my black bra was missing. :( So I made do and went out. Well, this morning my black bra was laying on top of my charging cell phone, so I know it was not there before last night. So, who returned my black bra?

I am really missing the comments I hardly get anymore. I will still keep writing I guess but I lack feedback on how sections of my story are going. Just to let you know comments may not make me change where a story is going, but they can improve what needs to be improved or help me continue what I am doing right.

Well, I was thinking about "girl lessons", and I want to go into some detail on the subject. See, because of what happened to me, I not only fought against my need to be feminine like my life depended on it, whenever I did give in and let Dorothy out, I struggled with feeling like I could never really be a girl anyway - never look like one, never really act like one. Compliments like the one I got yesterday are helping me move past those anxieties, but very, very slowly, and it still comes up on occasion. So keep cheering Team Dorothy, its really making a difference....

Who is this guy? Is he in the US congress or Senate?

Many happy returns of the day and CARPE CAKEM!!!!! This whole internet thingie would be a lot less fun if not for you.

I just wanted to say a GREAT BIG Thank You to all of you who have written to me offering support and kindness these past few days.
I had to put my beloved Mother in a nursing home this past Wednesday and it almost crushed me! She has lived in lower floor of my house for twenty years and I have taken care of her these last years because she was suffering from Dementia. A horrible disease that affects the mind to a great degree. There is no cure and and the prognosis is bleak for those afflicted with it.

This I thought was the best response to the comments left on the first part of chapter 19 of Sweet Dreams by the three really Amazing awesome girls Diana, Lisa, and Lizzie. They were so awesome it definitely get a blogpost.

You girls are right add in Jonelle and it goes over the top amazing and unbeatable. If she brings in Zoe and Ashleigh then...

Wow, I'm kinda feeling like Hank with all my Whately girls:)

LOL!
*Great Big Hugs*
Kisses for my Jonelle.
Love you all.
Bailey.

Hi

I have just published EMMA on Kindle. Please note, you can still read it here for free, but if you did want to add it to your collection.. find it here Tanya Allan's Page

More up on Kindle soon, and then I shall complete my unfinished work here.

Tanya.

After reading the story A Love Like No Other by Little Katie, I started reading the stories she linked to. Two of those stories, A Different Kind of Life and How Life Can Change, are very similar as to the circumstances that befall the main protagonist (in both cases a 9 year old boy). But the behaviour of the respective parents are exactly oposites of each other.

I'm working on the next few parts To Tracy's story. I want to get a few stories ahead before I start posting. I promise it is coming soon.

I could tease ya with a snippet. But I'm not that mean.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (Associated Press) -- Campus police at New Mexico State University are investigating claims that a man came into a woman's yard and stole panties from her clothesline.

She told officers she had hung several pairs of colored underwear, two bras and some of her son's shirts on the clothesline Saturday evening. She found her gate open Sunday morning and nine pairs of panties worth about $60 were gone.

Police have not named any suspects.

I have been missing for a few weeks so for the friends I've made on this site who might have worried about me I am sorry.
I guess I've been very lucky to be able to take a break and meet some really nice people but I had no access to the internet most days.
I can't remember what life was like before the internet and the mobile telephone. This experience I just had has been a bit of a shock. I could even remember the telex and telephone boxes on the corner of the street when I reflected a bit.

I have a request - just drop a note here as a comment, rather than a PM.

I've written a _very_ short story - 392 words - for the Horror contest.

You see, I decided to look at the audience, and try to build upon true horror, rather than using traditional elements. Unfortunately, the story might be a bit 'over the top' for a lot of the people here. (it's also written more in the older Ray Bradbury/Golden Age SF style, although it's not SF)

Well, on Oct 12, I came into my workplace in full femme. Essentially, I've started my real life test, even though I have no intention of getting SRS.

This actual process was this:

I told my immediate supervisor about my TG status on teh first day. I told him that he could share it with those who HAD to know, HR, his manger, the team lead that I was with, but that if he didn't pass it around it would be good.
At the same time, I started wearing more makeup, wearing girl's jeans and sometimes tops, sports bras which couldn't hide the budding breasts.

I can't remember the title, or the writer but it was set in England and had a guy who at first thought he wanted to be a woman, then near the end he just liked dressing up, also had a part where other guys were trying to out him or get pictures of him on the news and he managed to get them caught by the news people. and he was a teenager I think. I'd go through the teen/high school listing, but that list is huge

what the heck was that story?

Well, I wanted to mention the generous people who seem to come my way. At the TS group meeting, I got a new wig, a new purse, and a book on clothes and makeup tips for trans people. Then my neighbor gave me two seasons of "The L - Word" to watch. That, plus how amazing my co-workers have been about this whole thing really is a fantastic gift in its own right, and that's not even counting all the support I get here as well. I am so blessed, and so grateful.

So what do you want to hear first? The Good Stuff? The Not So Good Stuff? The Next Big Step?

Hi

I am busy writing as yet unpublished and unposted books, but in the meantime I have published two established stories that are still here (for free) onto Kindle. For those who may be interested in collecting them for your Kindle.. find them here.. Tanya Allan's Page

Tanya

Hi girls!

When is the cut off date for the Halloween contest? I'm thinking of doing a little story.

Hugs
Sue

Well, either my ex didn't notice my wig, or she chose to not mention it when I picked her up last night. Part of me is breathing a sigh of relief, the other part of me realizes all this means that the confrontation is still to come ...

I think some small part of me is still resisting the changes I'm beginning to make. I think I'm, in some small corner of my mind, still afraid. Afraid of what I don't know about being female. Afraid of how people who don't or can't understand will treat me. Afraid of change. Someone replied to Heather's entry about losing her pet that it's a bit of a "system shock", after 16 years, suddenly losing a dear friend and companion, her dog. I kind of think that's what's happening to me now.

Well here goes round 3 in the operating room in 4 1/2 months the left foot the same 1 as was worked on in June is going to be broken and fixed again. 4 more weeks wearing a compression boot up to my knee and pins in my toes. I am getting so I feel addicted to anesthesia so Thursday morning before the sun comes up and I will be back to sleep and home by 11 AM

Well, I just ran some numbers. The Gospel of The Bike, according to word, (if you trust it), totals out to....5,850 pages............2,059,091 words, anf the folder that holds the assembled books weighs in at......22.3 meg. Sounds awesome to me.

Well, I may have set myself up for disaster a lot sooner than I planned. I was driving home this morning, and I had some bottles belonging to my ex in my car, so I figured I would drop them off on my way. So I hit the corner near her house, and she's there, watching my daughter walk to school, so I told her about dropping off the bottles. Why does this mean bad things? Because I was still wearing my wig from work when she saw me. Right now, my only hope is that it didn't register with her, or WW III will start ahead of schedule ...

I'll wait for PS to do the official statistics, but just doing a quick count using the cat's toes, and counting back the last six or seven episodes, Bike has reached well over 2 Million words.

My mother always told me I would use half a dozen words where one would do, perhaps she had a point.

In keeping with the title of the story, I demonstrated the ease with which I manage to fall off bikes yesterday, thankfully no serious damage was done to the bike. Oh me, just a few scratches - bike riders is tough (unfortunately not as tough as the average road!).

An interesting article about gender, with some explanations of hormone experiments on rats.

http://www.flyfishingdevon.co.uk/salmon/year1/psy128psychose...

Keep in mind that some of the data is more than 30 years old; however, it's still interesting to read.

I ended up there when I was trying to find out some of the effects of prepubescent castration in humans - basically, whether or not it would be the same as total androgen insensitivity. (apparently not, at least, not without providing estrogen therapy to trigger puberty)

Perphaps it's not so big a step, but it feels like one to me...

Hello first blog here but have a ? does any1 know where i can find the endings to the stories in serial section for A Glass Half-Full by Chaosdancer wich ended just before a fight with a demon holding a family member of 1 the herorine's group or for Who's That Girl by PattieBFine wich ended with the introduction of a male suitor creating a love triangle ?

Well I'm looking for a bit of feedback on this idea concerning Transfigured and a possible rewrite.
