Where are the books?

February 24th, 2007 3:11 pm MST

I went to the biggest bookstore in the city looking for books on CD/TG/TS, and quess what I found?  Nothing.  I looked in the psychology section, because you know, we are all sickos.  Nothing there.  Hmmm.  How about the sexology section, because you know, we are perverts?  Still nothing, but wait, what is this little sign I see? "For Gay and Lesbian books, look in the Gay and Lesbian section".  Okay, everybody knows only gays become CD's, so maybe that is where they put the books.  So off I go to look for the G&L section, but where is it?  Looking, looking, looking in every section of the store.  Of course it won't be in the main aisle or anywhere near there.  Oh, there it is.  Okay, I am now looking for "My husband Betty".  Up, down, every shelf.  Nothing.  Where is "Betty" and even "Alice in Genderland"?  I know they have them, because I saw them on their website.  Okay, I'll look again.  What's this?  Here is a book that says it is a humourous story about a young man who grew in a red-neck community and was discovered wearing women's clothes.  But is he CD or TS?  Or is he gay?  The sleeve does not say, but seeing that he was wearing male clothes on the cover, I would assume that he is probably not CD.  So where are the books?  I was in the second biggest store in the city a few weeks prior to this, and they did not have the books either.  But both stores have both these books, and then some, on their websites.  Oh, I get it.  They have the books, but they keep them in the closet, just like we have to stay in the closet.  Heaven forbid anybody should see a book that talks about this kind of stuff in public.  Goodnes knows, we do not belong in public either.  Well, I did get a copy of "Betty" from their website, and I am enjoying in tremendously, but I was not too happy to see that in this day and age, we are not to be seen in public, even if it just a book.  So if you are looking for a particular book on CD/TG/TS/TV, do not vist a bookstore, because they don't have any.        Disclaimer:  The above events are true, but please be aware that the sarcasm runs deep and do not get offended at the labels I have used.  I enjoy my femme self a lot, but I wish the world was truly ready to accept us.  Take care.      Luv, Rikki
