I considered the situation. I was a transsexual. During the times I am talking of, that situation was not like it is today. For a start, I couldn't change my birth certificate from male to female and same sex marriages weren't allowed. I could change my driving licence to my female name which I had already done. I could change my name to a female Christian name as I already had. So everything was stacked against me. Martin knew nothing of my past. I had never considered myself as male, but I...

"So how did you pick the name Crystal?" Peter asked on the way to the seafood restaurant.  "I didn't pick it, my first boyfriend gave it to me. He worked for years at a drag club and taught me the works, makeup, fashion, taking it like a woman." "So you enjoy that?" "I will tonight." Peter choked up for a second.

"I beg your pardon. You don't ever tell me what you are or are not going to do. I thought that we'd gotten that clear over the past couple of months.

Ms. Harshley gazed at her newest charges, reveling in the fearful looks they gave one another and to her. She smiled wickedly and took satisfaction in the twins hurriedly down-cast, embarrassed glances to avoid looking directly at her.She gloated mentally, her mind alive with possibilities.How well she remembered the Wood twins.
