  Will you please get those pronouns sorted.

One element of Janet's stories that truly amazes me is the accepting and supportive parents, in real life it usually never works out that way so people like Jill and Kimberly get ostracized and destined to loneliness.

If we look back into history the first inhabitants of our country, yes, the Indians, had a name for transgendered people.  They called them two spirits, highly respected even worshipped because they had both the spirit of man as well as woman  in one soul.  True to my teaching history does repeat itself as the people of two spirits are now being recognized for their courage and determination to let the public see their other spirit.  Speaking from my own personal knowledge, I can tell you the hidden inner spirit is so powerful that it will destroy us from the inside if we don't let it out.  If you happen to be a tg person who is reading this, I'm sure you will understand.

Janet, I love how you're never afraid to portray young crossdressers exploring their sexuality with other young men.  In this story I liked how you had the mother show no disapproval at all when she walked into the living room to find the two sets of boys all kissing each other. Just as it's crucial that a mother accept her son's wish to wear dresses and lingerie, it's just as important for her to support her son as his desire to begin dating boys emerges.
 
It's too bad the story fell just short of letting us share in Kevin and Fred's first time together.

I love you so much for writing this! In reading some of the other comments some talk about grammar and to me they miss the point. I am still crying you are awesome.
Love and Light Rhiannon

I really loved this storty. To make it even better, it needs some serious editing and refinement, which will only make it so much better!

 I cried enough over "POOR LITTLE GIRL" but I wept copious tears over this story and am still crying.Kim's address to her peers goes down ,in my book, as one of the great human rights statements in
my 76 years.Bravo,Janet,you really are something else----magnificent!!
May God bless you and keep you.Thank you so much.ALISON

Forget the pronouns and pay attention to the story; it has some very powerful lessons.
All who read this sort of material have aspects of ourselves very similar in common, first being human beings, and the next is that we have all been conditioned to live, think and behave in order to please... first our parents, then those around us, thereby having never been able to discover who we really are. That lesson comes in the very words of Kim... "I won't change for someone else." How many of us have been told by our authorities that there is something (very) wrong about boys who want, or would rather be, girls. Such behavior strikes fear in the hearts of those authorities... they have no idea how to control us, how to deal with us; we might even be threatening their own self-perceptions.
Frightened, you say?
Fear is nothing more than "thought, thinking...;" and from early on in life we have been forced to think what we have been told "what is," how to think, what to think, with little opportunity to learn how and what to think for our Selves.
Time to be totally responsible for ourselves. Amen

it is as if i were reading the essence of my early years.  it really took a forceful turn at the end with the social  and societal misunderstandings that many don't understand unless you are a kevin, and read it as a person in the first part, as it is your story also. i never got a "break" at the acceptance found by kimberly, but i teared up with the possibility  of others accepting change as evolution, not ignorance. thank you for the story,(p.s. it also can can be non fiction- i know).                                                              .                                                                 vty d.

I got to admit, even I struggled to makes sense of the whole story this time, but it was a good read.  A heart wrenching tale of love and hope, of betrayal and distrust, and then all of that coming to a head when Jill comes into the school with a gun, very glad that everything worked out in the end there.  I cried, and I hope that any other tanssexuals out there can eventually find the same acceptace, and work up the courage to admit it to those close to them, after all, if you can't be true to yourself, you really can't be true to anyone.  

Comment by Me on 03/17/08
The way the author throws her pronouns around, randomly switching among 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person forms, I don't know who she is talking about half the time. This makes for a frustrating read! :(

Comment by jennifer on 01/09/08
i loved your story janet, i wish i had a parent who loved me when i was young like that, you brought out a great leader in jill, who is wise beyound her years, please keep up the good work!!!!

Comment by Stanley Morton on 07/07/07
Great story Janet!! Kevin's anguish leads his Mom to help him become Kimberly. Jeff's admission of his desire starts an irresistable roller coaster of anguish for Jill leading Kim to be  strong for both. Kim becomes a leader and finds true love as does Jill. One question though, does Jill have the operation too? Janet, I hoped you were never raped.

Comment by sissykathy on 01/09/06

Comment by lidya on 02/19/04
I LOVED THIS STORY DESPITE THE CONFUSION OF THE AUTHOR CHANGING FROM FIRST PERSON TO THIRD PERSON AND OCASSIONALLY REFFERING TO THE SAME PERSON AS HE AND SHE.
FINAL WORD IS..I LOVED IT AND WILL PROBALLY READ IT AGAIN

Comment by DeeDee Clark on 02/12/03
No matter how many times I have read this story i cry. All the frustrations of want ing to dress like a girl, or a woman seem to come out in this story.

All my love,
DeeDee
