“So no Tracy?” Shelly asked.

Maggie nodded. “Tracy was so lively on the way down here. I think she talked from home to Tracy, the town, where she changed. Once she changed, Troy was miserable.” She shook her head. “Maybe I shouldn't have let her be Tracy for the ride.”

Chapter 71 The Salon

I looked at her and for a moment I didn’t quite know what to say. ‘Well I know this style is a bit butch because of the way I’ve grown up. I’ve just not really had much chance to be myself and try anything else.’

‘Mmm I thought that perhaps it was another reason. Your sister has a nice style so why not you?’

This is a very short story told to the author by a man who liked women --
liked them whether they were real women or transgendered.

Laura by Janet Baker

Jason met Laura that fall evening at a bar noted for its acceptance of unconventional lifestyles. The bar was filled with celebrants, the Twins having finally won a game. Jason scanned the crowd trying to determine whether the colorfully dressed habitués were real women or cross dressers or transsexuals.

I took a deep breath before walking into the locker room. I was nervous, but I could do it. I hoped...

I'd actually gotten about a dozen feet inside before the yells started. I ignored them and headed on over to the cage to get a basket.

I'd almost made it when this huge guy blocked my path.

"Aren't you a little confused girlie? This is the boys locker room."

I looked up at him and said "Yeah, I know."

CHAPTER 35
What is there to write about Channel crossings? The Portsmouth route is interesting for a while, as you pass sea forts and the Isle of Wight, but soon you find yourself in the middle of ocean, no land in sight at all. That fascinated the kids, as so much else did on the trip. They had never been away from Britain, never mind on the high seas, and everything was fresh and new.

The Vacation

Eric thought he was alone in his grandmother's house.

His mother, older brother and grandmother went to the store to buy food for the Thanksgiving feast.

His father took his younger half-sister and his stepmother to the movies.

He really didn't know why he had the urges he did. And seeing his mother's dress on the floor in the laundry room was a temptation. He planned it out right, just like he had dozens of times before.

Chapter 70 My Lois Lane debut

I can’t have been fully unconscious or maybe the shock of falling in the pool brought me straight around. The first person who came into focus was a complete stranger and then over his shoulder I saw Julie.

The stranger was the pool attendant who was placing a folded towel under my head and he put his finger up and asked if I could see it clearly and to follow it as he moved it sideways. I was wet from the shower and also because I’d fallen in the pool.
