Reluctant Press

Breanne went off, with a more pronounced sway in her walk now she was attending the Del Monte Charm School with Ellen. At times, I was sure neither of our new 'girl reporters', ever thought about what they were - so much were they into being 'girl reporters'. They always had to have their makeup perfect, smiling prettily to everyone they met. They were confident, from the first, in their femininity, so unlike me. Men were their willing sources on all kinds of stories. I wondered what would...

"...Do you know why those guys who beat you up are so afraid?""I was the one who was afraid. Do you think other people see me as a threat? That maybe, I'm going to expose them for some totally awful sin or whatever? Tough thought but I've never had sex, guy or gal, so am really not qualified. What are you getting at?"Dale relaxed and sipped from his wine glass. "There is a sort of club, very informal. They are known on campus as the 'Quiet Legion'. You see them often without actually...

For once I was at a loss for words. I stared at Lesley dumbly. Had I really just heard what she had asked me to do? I had to rewind her words in my head, replay her words to make sure I had heard correctly."I will keep you employment with us open and find you an alternative position, off cleaning and off storeroom. But there is something I want you to do for me. I have a nephew whose best friend has won four tickets to an exclusive party night at a top night club. His friend is taking his...

"I want to ask you to the Homecoming dance," she (Sandra) said to me, "but not the school one. It's a different special one. Have you heard of the Turnabout Homecoming held every year at the Excelsior Motor Lodge?""I haven't' heard of it," I replied. "What do you mean by special or different?""Well, all the guys go dressed as girls, and the girls go dressed as guys. I would wear a tux and you would wear a dress. Like one of those we saw at the mall a couple of months ago."She was grinning and...

As the only other transgendered woman in the group, Cindy remembered her own reaction, a stunned "Oh my God" when she saw her female self for the first time, wearing a long green dress, black stockings, and black patent leather pumps. She hesitated in her response, trying to say the exact right thing. "You will always remember this moment, girl, cherish it. Ladies, let us give the young lady some time and space to revel in her feelings. Girl, join us when you are ready to take on the world as...

Jack's pictures did not excite Marianne - indeed Jack had expressed strong suspicion that Marianne, known to him only as Martin, was a queer because of Martin's obvious lack of interests in them - but something else was exciting Marianne greatly, right now. Her secret excitement was more intense than it had ever been before, except perhaps when she was climaxing with an imaginary boy. Her dearest dream, nurtured in solitude since 1951 when she was only 11 years old, was about to come true. Now...
