The Man Inside
When I was twelve, I saw my neighbor's niece start her transition. At the time, I had no concept of what a trans woman or what transgender was. But, I really liked this girl. Not in a crush sort of way but, an admiring sort of way. She was also really loved wearing punk stuff a the time. I was kind of envious of how she looked and acted.

W.O.K.E. W.O.C. - a VENUS VALLEY chapter
Yet again a chapter has seen fit to add itself to my book-in-progress, as something I alluded to last time deserves more space of its own. Welcome, if you’ve just joined in, to the chapter-by-chapter release of my LGBTQIA+ centric philosophy-(hopefully)-made-easy book; in which your inputs, insights and comments become my edits as you take up my invitation to freely debate discuss, question, contribute, so your values, views and voices can be part of the finished book when it emerges in physical form.
