As we are liberated
from our own fear,
our presence automatically
liberates others.

College Fees - Chapter 8 by Susan Louise Montague

She began to dream and in that dream the thought of what it must be like to be fully female came back to her, a thought for the moment she wouldn’t dare to dwell on while awake.

"You know, this stuff is pretty good!" I said as I fumbled through using chopsticks.

"I thought you would," Marie said. "I'm glad your mom let you come with me to this place. I used to come here with some friends when I was in college."

It was a small Chinese restaurant where Marie said we would get the full effect.

"You know, you're nothing like what mom used to let us think you were like," I said. "You're really cool."

"Thanks," Marie said. "I can understand how your mom feels. But I'm really glad she's letting us get to know each other better."

This chapter describes Melanie's final discovery of Martina's true nature and then relates the exciting times they had sharing their bodies menage a trois with Beatrice.

Martina’s Story
Chapter 4

List of Characters.

Myself. Martina, A sexually dysphoric child whose sexuality has not yet been ascertained but who chooses to present as a girl

A whole week of being Kerry at home, the woman of the household, getting ready for the seminar and coming to grips with little changes that have big impacts if not controlled. But Kerry had a problem with control, she always wanted it her way so just chose to hear different instructions.

“Alex. It’s just one night. No one will ever know but us. Please, I’m begging you, do this for me?”

I didn’t say yes. I didn’t say no. I didn’t nod or shake my head. I just let Lara slip my athletic socks off my feet and, one after the other, slide the high-heeled shoes into place.

They fit like they were made for me.

Intro by Carla Ann

Melanie worked on getting some breakfast ready for ‘her’ two girls that were upstairs getting ready for school. Amy was her daughter, but Tiffany really was like an adopted daughter. She loved them both a lot, but feared for Tiffany. ‘Poor girl… I can’t believe what Mandy said her brother-in-law did last week…’

She sighed and filled two glasses with orange juice that she sat on the table. ‘I hope we can get her through this week. At least this weekend she’ll get to go with us up to the condo and get away…’

A very short, very sad story based on current events, as told in a letter to my friends:

Dreaming of Cheers Standing Up to Life: Book 3 Part 12 of 23 by Tiffany Shar

Intro by Carla Ann

’We survived…’ that was all Tiffany’s dad could say about the last few days. He wished that they had just stayed home for Thanksgiving or had gone to Mandy’s parents. His brother had been completely out of control. He looked down into the sink and rinsed his razor one more time before opening the door up.

”I’m done honey,” he told his wife.

She turned around and the two shared an embrace that made him feel better. ‘Through all of this at least I have a wife and daughter that love me dearly…’ he thought. “Joe, will you wake up Tiffany please?”

”Sure,” he responded. This wasn’t the easiest thing to do in the morning, but it was always fun to watch his daughter wake up. She was always so cute with her hair all over the place and the grumpy expression that was inevitable… He smiled as he moved to the other side of the room where she lay sleeping.

Chapter 7 Good days, and bad days.

Dreaming of Cheers Standing Up to Life: Book 3 Part 11 of 23 by Tiffany Shar

Intro by Carla Ann

’Well that was a disaster,’ Tiffany’s grandmother thought. ‘I can’t believe Allen would do that to his brother and his niece!’ She thought for another second though and added, ‘Well maybe I can…’

As a wife of a former alcoholic, she recognized all of the signs and worried for her daughter-in-law and her grandchildren. Her son was getting harder and harder to recognize every time she saw him. ‘I don’t think talking to him will do any good either…’ she sighed to herself.

She took a minute to look at her granddaughter who had been the catalyst to her son’s outburst. ‘Tiffany is so pretty, you really can’t even begin to remember her as a boy… It was definitely the right thing to let her be herself… if only others can realize that.’

Give me the keys!

Fiction by Johnny Cumlately.

Bev's face was like thunder and her voice hard. "Give me the keys." Tom stood before her in the bedroom like a frightened rabbit, clad only in a bra filled out with tissues and matching panties which scarcely covered his chastity belt. She held out her hand. "Give me the keys!" she said again.

"I can't," Tom stammered "they're in the car."

"Then get them." Adding "Go just as you are" as Tom reached for a dressing gown. "And no shoes, either!" as he bent down to put on some slippers.

Intro by Carla Ann

Caleb went upstairs to his bedroom more convinced than ever that his dad was out of control. ‘What’s the big deal about Tiffany anyway?’ he asked himself. Yes it was a bit weird to see his twelve year old cousin dressed as a girl… but at the same time she was cute. ‘Not in that way,’ he told himself. Times really were different now. He had several girls that he’d grown up with that had recently decided they liked girls instead of boys. ‘It’s weird… but it’s not that big of a deal!’

’I just hope Dad doesn’t do anything really stupid tomorrow… Maybe I can find a way to keep him from the whiskey bottle.’ He shook his head, ‘No. He’s gotten bad… I’m sure he really is an alcoholic.’

For all of his athletic prowess, and lots of friends on the football team that drank frequently, Caleb stayed away from it. Watching his dad being hooked on it was enough reason to stay away from it. He looked at himself in the mirror and splashed some water on his face, ‘I hope tomorrow goes better…’

WELL!

Despite my endeavours to wrap this story up in 30 chapters, it looks as though it might run to 31. otherwise chapter 30 woul have run to about 30 pages.

This chapter addresses the marriage of Beverly to Angie and other issues that need winding up in the story. (But not all.)

Last time...
After drying myself off I put on the panties, which were surprisingly comfortable. I threw on the robe and stepped out into the bedroom to find that Aunt Karen had apparently been down here again because...

I trailed off when I heard the door open. Marcie and I turned to look at the door and found her mother standing there, looking very angry. "What is going on here, Marcie?! I told you not to open the door for anybody!"

The Convention
by Scotty

My life is not the same anymore. Four days ago things were different. Just four short days ago my co workers didn’t whisper behind my back. At that time I did not have the head of my entire department sharing personal things about himself and I was not a part of his circle of friends. This might help my career, but it definitely is making life with my coworkers hell. Some of my friends have deserted me, and some of my family wants nothing to do with me. Why did this happen to me? It all started with a costume, an anime convention, and a couple girls who are really into costuming.
