This is a thought that just popped into my head after reviewing my last post. Right off the top of my head, I picked out two candidates for the fourth dimension of space; Scale and State. The underlying principle used to distinguish them was a concept that is spatial in nature, that lies beyond the immediate scope of a...
Advisory: I sort of choke and swallow hard before posting an article like this on the eye of paradox, in spite of the fact that I have a history of being rather candid about my experiences as a “transgendered” individual here and on deviantart.

Four of those people have identified themselves as transgendered, and like every transgendered person I’ve...
A number of my posts, particularly the ones dealing with transgender issues in my life, have been written on a long, dark night of the soul.
