Jessica's Story 15/Michelle's Story 10

Jessica and her sister Sandra are celebrating their birthdays together (though its an early party for Sandra, and a late one for Jessica) and their party is being made all the more special by the presence of cousins Emma and Michael (as Michelle), who have made the long trip from Newcastle Upon Tyne.

Jessica and Sandra are looking forward to their joint birthday party, which is now just days away. Not only is Jessica set to celebrate her birthday as a girl for the first time, but they will have 2 of their cousins from up north joining them.

But while they await the day, they are given the opportunity to say hello to their soon-to-be aunt, Carol.

Anne has to begin the preparations for the party early, since she is joining Sally on a 500+ mile round train journey to collect Michael and Emma.

The weeks are passing by and the weekend stay with their cousins is drawing closer. But while Michael looks forward to attending a birthday party as a princess, he helps his friend Robert by just providing him with some much needed company. Meanwhile, 2 more girls are let in on his secret.

This story will continue in the cross-over chapter: Jessica's Story - Part 15/Michelle's Story - Part 10

Michelle's Story - Part 7

Michael's life is now very much a case of being a boy at school, and being Michelle at home. Just to help him feel better, his mom gets him a wig to wear. Billy, the school bully, is still being kept at bay, though he is now one step from expulsion. But even if he did get expelled, Michael still has another boy to worry about, concerning his gender: his best friend Robert.

The girls are back at school, following the Christmas holidays, and they let on to their friends about Michael being transgender too. Anne and Julia decide to make occasional visits to a LGBT nightclub, as plans for Julia and Kelly to move in are discussed.

The birthday party in March gets a boost when Sally suggests an idea that would allow their female cousins to attend, and Jessica becomes the first to get her party dress - and its a rather familiar looking one.

Michelle's Story - Part 6

Michael's path to becoming Michelle is not going to be easy, but plans to get the journey started are now being put in place. Seeing a specialist is one step. Making friends with Emma's classmates is another. But school still provides problems: a headteacher that needs convincing, and a bully who doesn't like the taste of defeat.

If female reproductive organs could be created for MtFs.

It is something that I imagine many transwomen would welcome, but even if such was possible, there is the problem with producing eggs.

I'm working on a story that sees MtF characters given fully functioning female reproductive organs, but with their genetic make up, there is a problem concerning their Y-chromosomes. Eggs always contain X-chromosomes, for reasons I shouldn't have to explain.

If there was a way for the created organs to overlook the Y-chromosome, and only ever use the single X-chromosome, then that would be one answer.

Jessica's Story - Part 6 - spoilers

Ok, so the 6th part of Jessica's Story has been posted. This is one part I'm expecting to get comments on, on various matters. I'll just say that it took several attempts to write the dialogue between Anne and Julia, that led to them kissing. I wanted Anne to be reluctant, going into the talk, which is why she denies her attraction to Julia in the first place. But she isn't convincing, and Julia notes it, prompting her to continue the questioning.

I admit that the scene was a little hasty, and I apologise.

A holiday in Skegness and another visit by Aunt Sally follow, before he finally begins school, and gets to make a friend. Meanwhile, John hears about the events involving his estranged brother Adam.

About Jessica's Story - Part 4

Ok, so Jessica's Story - Part 4 is now posted. I just wanted to say a few things about this, and regarding some of the posts made to the earlier chapters.

By the time I began writing Michelle's Story, I had already completed a good many chapters of Jessica's Story. Seeing how the stories are linked, I had to go back and edit the first few chapters of Jessica's Story, just to accommodate the progression of the other, as well as editing any continuity errors (Yes, we all make mistakes :) ).

The Changing Room

My name is Richard, no wait, it was Richard. That was then. Then, I was a loner of a man with an identity problem. But as I said, that was then. None of those things apply to me now. Life is much rosier now, and I can thank it down to one unusual but eventful day.

A Mother's Gift

A Mother's Gift

Losing someone you love, is never easy. My mother was just 57 when cancer took her. We were indeed close, but I was close to both my parents. My dad and I spent a few days together, in the days that followed her passing. My girlfriend Jennifer also stood by me in this time of sorrow.

But I didn't realise at the time, that the best days of my life were yet to come, and I owe it to my late mom, for them happening.
