I need to write an other topic for a story. Girl is going to be better written because I got so much pending I have deleted it for that reason. I need beta readers.

Having submitted this story, now I immediately want to write a follow-up. But it will be from the perspective of a mage in an Urban Fantasy setting, who has to track down the protagonist of the first story ("Dead Together").After a few false starts recently, I am now close to finishing my Halloween story. I have one more scene to write, and then a quick round of editing to make everything feel cohesive.
It will go in Erotic Horror - yes, flying in the face of all the advice people have posted here during this contest. I think I have the "horror" element, but I probably need to add some more eroticism to make it truly pop.
I am cis, but transpeople I know actually don't think surgery is required or desired to be trans. You're trans based on how you feel, not how you look.... In my mind, this should be Transgender, but I can understand people arguing that, without physical changes, it should be in Crossdresser. The point of the series is exactly that: how does a person deal with the emergence of her inner feminine when the body must remain male presenting, especially when their inner woman is emerging later in life and they're average working folks living in "average" communities?
I reckon that's transgender, where the theme of the story is sexual or gender identity, knowing you're in the wrong body.In my mind, this should be Transgender, but I can understand people arguing that, without physical changes, it should be in Crossdresser.

Your comment raises an interesting question: if gender identity is in the mind/spirit, is there really such a thing as the wrong body? I'm not trying to disparage those with gender dyphoria. My character, Galatea, is trying to come to grips with accepting the body she's been given but accommodating it to who she is and who her masters want her to be. Given all their realities, rather than railing against the unfairness of life, how do they make the most of discovering who they truly are in the later stages of their lives? What I want to develop in the relationships is that it's not only Galatea who is being transformed, but all of them.I reckon that's transgender, where the theme of the story is sexual or gender identity, knowing you're in the wrong body.
Cross-dressing is when the gender identity is assured, but the cross-dressing is a kink. There's a big difference, I reckon.
Being very much a cis male with no doubts about my gender or sexual identity, I'm not best qualified to answer that. I learned about the complexity, also the fundamental simplicity of this part of the human experience, when I befriended a transgender woman who gave me a far better understanding of her identity, circumstances, than I would have otherwise got.Your comment raises an interesting question: if gender identity is in the mind/spirit, is there really such a thing as the wrong body?
