The Cup

© 1992          Complete : Yes       rated: G

As a man I never really had any friends.  In some ways the biggest transformation in my life was not from male to female, but from virtual recluse to social creature.  A good friend helped me make that transition.  She also helped me be both a woman and a transsexual without one precluding the other. In this story, I tell of a small gift which made a big impact.

The Letter

© 1992          Complete : Yes       rated: G

One time my therapist asked me what would have to happen before I transitioned.  I told her that I would have to disclose at work and to tell my parents.  Little did I know they would both happen in the same week.   I don’t want to ever have another week like that.
I must say that of all the blessings God has given me during this transition, I doubt if any of them are as wonderful as the one described in this story.  But be warned.  You’ll probably need to have a box of tissues handy.

Read

© 1992          Complete : Yes       rated: G

Being “read” in TG parlance means you have been identified as being TG.  It has a meaning on several levels.  First, it means that you have failed in your quest to be seen as just another woman.  But at a deeper level, it means that you have may not be able to be accepted as a woman.  Of course, it may also mean that you are at risk of any number of indignities from ridicule to physical assault.
On the eve of my beginning to work full-time as a woman, I was read in the worst possible way. As a result my confidence was badly shaken.  But out of it, I learned more about where my true source of strength and acceptance lay.

Rubicon IV

© 1998          Complete : Yes       rated: G

I was 7 years post-op before I went to my first gender conference. I had a major internet ministry. A reasonably high profile transsexual by all appearances, yet, I struggled against my calling to our people. Most significantly I avoided the conferences because I didn't want to be associated with "Them". This experience brought me face to face with Them and understood I should have been saying "us."

The Promotion of the Millennium

© 2001          Complete : Yes       rated: G

In a departure from the more realistic Cindy stories, I returned to my roots as an advertising copywriter to create the following story. I had the original idea since High School when I had a dream of competing in a beauty contest and winning it crossdressed. The beauty contest doesn't take up much of this story, but it plays a role. Imagine if you will the ultimate promotion for a line of makeup. The signiture model is gorgeous, beautiful, and (secretly) a man. What would happen to the sales of that cosmetic when it was revealed that the flawless complexion was male and the makeup was what made that complexion beautiful? It would be the greatest promotion ever, but fame is addictive and.......
