Girl Trouble - Index

Read chapter 2: Garden of Earthly Delights

Note: This really isn't a real Transgender story in the usual sense, or in the expected sense maybe. It's rather more lesbian than anything else and the sex in it would be technically hetero, but...not really. So don't be worried that enjoying this story will make you gay...Only Anne Rice's books can do that. It's the reason she gets the big bucks.

Synopsis: Girl Trouble is about a 13 year old girl named Amanda who experiences some unique situations. First of all she isn't really a girl at all, although you couldn't convince her or her sisters of that. She has a penis and testicles, true, but she looks and acts and feels inside just like a girl. Amanda and her friends and family also live in a sheltered society of feminists, secluded from the realities of the outside world and so she has a certain naiveté and innocence not usually found in a budding young teen. And, finally, she is discovering the nature of love and how it can open a world of new possibilities.

Author's Note: I wrote all of this in one evening and the following morning. Just about 8 hours probably, and it was well spent. I'm pretty happy with this story. I set myself a limit of 5000 words a chapter and it got hard in chapter 3 and then again in 4...But not too bad. I wanted to have a more detailed confrontation at the end, but it wasn't totally necessary. I think it works and I wanted to leave it slightly ambiguous as to the outcome.

If I had any point to make I suppose it was just this: That if you're going to remake a society you better be prepared for the consequences and if innocence is the goal, then that brings its own set of problems. The issue wasn't one of gender to me, and hopefully not to my characters, but that is the finger that gets pointed in the end by the outraged minority. Gender is all too often a crutch for the weakness in ourselves as a species.

Thanks for reading,
