In Defense of Pretenders

by Claire - 16 July 2008

In his private blog, Rorshach wrote an interesting response to my post on BIID vs. Pretending for kicks. We had a friendly e-mail exchange, during which he graciously gave me permission to re-post his post here. Thanks Ror! In Defense of Pretenders continues »

What if I change my mind?

by Zoe - 15 July 2008

This question appears logical, but to my mind, it is not.  It is not logical that i might change my mind, because i have wanted, nay, needed this for so long.  And it seems so right, it seems so logical, that the thought that it might not be right seems weird, wheras most people would think the opposite should be true. 

Who I am…

by Zoe -

I just can’t get past this feeling that i need to be who i am, no matter how strange or unpalatable to the general population, i just can’t get past the idea that i’m meant to be someone else, something else, someone who makes a difference, somehow…

What’s fair anyhow…

by Zoe -

recent events have caused me to wonder, what’s fair anyhow?

My sister in law has just had a miscarriage.  Putting my fertility problems aside, i know that she and her husand would be fantastic parents, so why, would not God have wanted them to bring this child into the world?

Goods damaged beyond repairability

by Sean -

These last few days have been horrible. It’s been a long time for me, where life has been mostly horrible. There have been a few ups, but by and large, the median is well below "nasty". I’ve recently started wondering if actually becoming a para could fix me. Oh, there’s no doubt in my mind, the only real solution to Body Integrity Identity Disorder is surgery. But perhaps it is too late for me. Perhaps it’s gone too long and even surgery won’t provide the healing I need.
