What is “normal”? We live in a world where people always want a label to use in defining themselves and others. Jaelle Tarrell finds that when it comes to the many labels that exist for those who don’t fit into generally seen categories of gender identity and sexuality, or asexuality, things can get confusing. She finds that “normal” is not necessarily normal.
Today Jaelle Terrell tells the story of a trans woman, Victoria, who is nearing the end of her days. We look back on how she came to transition. Back then she was a father who hated himself so much that he tried, and botched a suicide attempt. Then someone somewhere near his hospital room had RuPaul’s Drag Race tuned in. He heard the words “If you can’t love yourself, how the hell are you going to love somebody else?” That was what reached him and made him realize he wasn’t a man, but a woman. Victoria isn’t done with RuPaul, though. Read on and find out how her story ends.
Welcome our new Contributor Jaelle Terrell. Jaelle has submitted some trans fiction for your entertainment. It’s the story of a trans woman who had given up on romance. She was content with her life after transition but thought that no one would be interested in a woman like her. That all changed starting on the day she was late to meet a friend and ran into, literally, Mr. Johnson.
An older trans woman, retired and not on any schedule, gets up one morning and between her bed and the coffee pot she revisits her youth when she was a male sailor assigned to the SeaBees and one day she met her first love. They became roommates and while they remained platonic the were together until her roommate left the service. The story is the work of our newest Contributor Jaelle Terrell. It is the first story in a trilogy that Jaelle has kindly allowed us to publish.
