It is continually literarily imposed in these stories that girls are smarter, more focused and more well behaved. Ironically these stories tend to contradict that very same premise as they potray women who get away with unmannerly, cruel and criminal behavior. You are not going to sell me on the superiority of women when you don't believe it yourself.  

Inevitably the ending was best but only because it was the only way it could happen after his mother's crime against him necessitated the outcome. Make no mistake it is a crime! What she did was NOT necessary! He had family that she could have resorted to. His identity came out at the trial so the furor of his mistake must have blown over yet her actions were not as temporary. When the side effects of a medicine is more injurious than its benefits it is logical not to take the medicine. And her solution to her sons problem stood a near certainty of outliving the stated benefit of his safety.

Anyone who sees no problem with gender reassignment without informed consent has latent marxist tendancies. People are more than fricken cattle!

'God helps those who help themselves'? Says who?

That's really srhwed! Good to see the logic set out so well.

Play informative for me, Mr. internet wirter.

Sorry. I wanted to say good story.  (not god story)

Hi.
I think that she might move to another state.
Anyway, she saved the life of her son/daughter. God story!

unlike the last comment i found it very funny and was hopping they was more. it did make me sad in parts and i see how he felt. but as for his father and what he did. he got what god for him. this is another great story from you. keep it up and i hope to read more from you.

I Didn't find this story amusing

To manipulate someones gender without consent is immoral and sick.
Doubly so if it is a kid. There are no excuses for that kind of behavior.
I know this just was a story, but somehow people unquestioningly accept a premise that I find highly dubious here.
I can only surmise that those not questioning it are lacking.

Could someone please explain why a story, novel, film, TV show, etc., in which a girl poses as a boy to escape danger is almost always (traditionally) a drama, whereas a story in which a boy poses as a girl to escape danger is almost always (traditionally) a comedy?  Either could be a case for comedy or drama.  During World War II, Jewish boys in Europe posed as girls for protection. And stories of girls becoming boys for protection and escape are legion.  (I once read a novel about a Jewish girl in WWII Europe who had her tresses shorn and exchanged clothes with a nun to travel freely.)  I should think a boy would realize that temporarily being a little lovely with braided wig, dress, lacy underthings, and having to sit down to do a wee would be preferable to otherwise certain death.

this is a great story apart from the natural rebelling at the begining in this case he enjoyed being his new self and althought his mother was wrong to put him on the pills without saying truthfully what they were , but the attitude of his father was very bad after he found out some effects were ireversable runs of to his fancy lady again. this is going to be a brilliant serial well done and i look forewards to the next installments thank &a great serial

Just going back to catch up on some stories I missed, and I must say that I found this to be a fun read.  I think your writing continues to improve over time, and while better today, has always been consistently good.  I'm surprised by my (lack of) reaction to the deceptive chemical castration element of the story, since I strongly dislike its depiction in most other fiction.  I usually find it cruel, sadistic and revolting.  Here, however, through the magic of brilliant writing, I find it just a minor element in a sweet story of triumph and justice.  Go figure.

Better late than never. I just read this and I loved the first part very much. What happened next was a journal, then a wierd trial with knowledge that she could never have known, especially the reader without jumping into the future. Then, we get the missing parts. GEEZ!

The story was complete when it was finished, but what a different style of writing. I liked the story, but not the presentation style after part one. I felt let down, like when you read the end of a story just after you start reading the book.

Giggle, giggle. Well written, and it did contain everything a story should contain, but in a very different order.

I liked your ending. Could've it gone much differently. Maybe . . . but not in Chicago.

I also loved The Jessica Project. I got it today from Amazon, I'd procrastinated for months before ordering it a few days ago. I read it in one sitting.

It was a delightful romp. I expected good writing, but was amazed at the detail and obvious knowledge of the subject matter. You twisted and turned the story with almost every page.

Congratulations!

I cannot believe this. A minor get forceably (and proven) medically casterated and it's a good thing????????
Where are we going in this world???
Where does the mother get her comeupance?
and we, as (supposedly) adult tg/ts sanction this?
Story or no we should not allow this to happen.
What happened to our morals in this situation?
The mother should have been sentenced.
Resigning oneself to the inevitable is one thing, but when it happens on purpose is another.
PLease in the future folks, think on the ramifications.
How many of you would want that to happen to YOUR child?
I think I would HAVE to kill my wife if she had done something like that to my children before they were of legal age to decide for themselves.
If they decided to become women on thier own after that, I would then support them whole hog.
Before that?
Sorry charlie
Do I know what I am talking about? Yes I do as I do have a gay son. I don't understand his lifestyle nor shall I ever, but it IS his choice and I support him and still love him. But this came about AFTER he became 18.

Another excellent, fast moving, and riveting story.  But you already knew that. I will look for your work more now as this was simply charming.  I wish you had more relationship dynamics between Elise and her sister Sarah. But that is my preference. I enjoyed your tale very much for what it is. A short sweet read is good too. Thank you so much for another gem.

Hugs,

Kristi

I have really been awaiting anxiously for Elise's Journal. Truly, this was well worth the wait. I just loved the way you handled both the journal and the "trial". All were exciting and very well done. As Elise is well on her way in her transformation, I'll wait quietly and patiently for the caterpillar to fully emerge as a butterfly. Thank you so very much for this wonderful tale wonderfully written

I was hoping you would make the unfortunate occurrence during the Cubs game into a serial. You have a great premise.

In the fine tradition of sports reporting you have not allowed the facts of the actual loss get in the way of a fine story. The Cubs in RL had plenty of opportunity to win despite the fan interference.

Your change of point of view for the last segment threw me. I'm a fan of changing points of view (See It Brings On Many Changes), but it could have been handled better.

Yes --- I'd love to read Elise's log as her reaction to everything that has happened has not been made clear. I would be curious what occurred to change her from a rebelious boy who was pretending to go along until he could get away, to a happy well-adjusted female student.

Those of us who also try to write -- are envious of your talent and energy. Tha amount of work you turn out is staggering.
