I agree. Nothing could be happier than finding your knight in shining armour and keeping him forever.

Thank you, Ed! I just felt that how come nobody reached the sleeping beauty before her prince… It ended up in this.

Beautifully written. Short but very deep. Parents should never be ashamed of their children no matter what. Never cast-off a child because you think he or she doesn’t fit into society’s norms.

Thanks Ngozi. My company supports all genders and ran a series of interviews with LGBTQ+ employees. It was sad to hear how these people had been treated in their home–how one of the parents declines to see what’s clear as day. Two of my favourite managers are LGBTQ+ and they are awesome people. They accepted who they are and their families are fine with it. It helped become what they are today.

Thank you, Ngozi. I hope keep I getting inspired. A lot of times, it feels that the stories are writing themselves. I don’t write them consciously. I just keep putting one line after the another and it ends into a story.

You’re welcome! I’m Jon, but I called my company Wilfred Books after my grand uncle, Wilfred Risdon, whose biography I published in 2013. Cheers, Jon 😀

Thank you, Pete! I hope people will understand that transcending gender roles/identity is not the latest trend. It is a state of being for 5% people around the world since ancient times. In ancient India, ‘Kinnar’ (people with gender under question) were employed in women security and education. They held high and respectable posts in the Royal circle. It was only with time that they lost the respect.

Yes, even in ancient China, such people looked after concubines, and became the lovers of emperors as they coud not have illegitimate children.
Best wishes, Pete.

I just wish they are now accepted as normal humans. I follow a blog whose writer often writes about his procedure of gender transformation. His struggle with himself is painful.
