TV Transgender Superhero

Hello,

I have just read that the TV series Supergirl is to get a Transgender Superhero. Here is the link:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-44915149

This leads me to ask a question. Why are superheros such an American genre? Is it purely down to Comic / Graphic novels, or something deeper?

I would love to read your responses.

Love to all

LGBT shooting in Florida

My heart goes out to all the family and friends who are now mourning the loss of their loved ones in what is, I believe, the largest mass killing in the US.

I hope no one from our BC community is caught up in this appalling atrocity. To all of you in the USA I send you my love.

This is one of those days when words fail me.

Love to all

Be thankful you do not live in Peru

I have just read the story about the problems experienced by TS girls in Lima Peru. Here is the link:

I found the story to be so sad to read and yet how brave the girls are to live in such a society where the average life expectancy is 35 years of age.

Gender surgery animation

I just spotted this on the Daily Wail website, regarding an animation of the Gender reassignment surgery. Here is the link:

Apparently some men have problem uncrossing their legs after watching.

I wonder if Pixar would do a better animation.Also, who would they get for the voice over.

This is a thoughtful article however it is a shame that it cannot be the other way around

I am certain my younger self would love to have known it all turned out well. Ah well

A Thoughtful Piece

I read this interesting piece this morning and thought it would be worthwhile sending a link,even though it is in the Daily Wail.

I can sympathise with her early years, which echo in some respects mine, but I am glad that I transitioned some twenty odd years ago.

Bike?

As there have been no episodes of ‘Bike’ for the last few days, I spoke to Angharad yesterday. This is just to let you know, she is well.

While we talked on many subjects, Bike was not one of them.

As one of the fans of this story all I can say is I hope she will continue. Like Tinker Bell, I believe.

So the obvious question is, Do You Believe?

Love to All
