Two classics which traded on the out-dated notion that gays and lesbians lived in a kind of intersexed "twilight." One wonders how many other misconceptions lurked between the covers. Any of you familiar with either of these books?

I think most people who write TG fiction are like most people who write laws and other regulations that affect us: they have absolutely no idea whereof they write.

As for the porn, be it gay, straight, lesbian or TG, it's all marketed at people who are looking for a quick thrill.

Now, before you jump on me about well-written, accurate eroticism, I'll say right here: that's not porn. That's literature.

I'm really digging this series, Gloria.

Isn't it nice to know that Ms. Aldrich's tome lets us know that "the lesbian" merits neither pity nor scorn?

And for the male madame...a little pot smoking to get things rolling? Undoubtedly, done while wearing those leather boots.

I will second Bil's comment - this is a delightful series, Gloria.
