I write gay fiction because I enjoy it and because I'm gay. Period. But as far as the FtM stories go, I'm working on that, to be honest. It's a little harder to put those thoughts onto paper because they hit much closer to home. A bit of soul searching, if you will.

It's been pointed out to me how incredibly crass and insensitive it was of me to talk about your identity in a way which implies I consider it fraudulent (which I don't, though I have difficult understanding all the implications.) I wish to apologise for that and any offence and upset I caused. I'm ignorant of the issues, and am trying to educate myself so I don't repeat the offence.

Thanks. :) It's not something easily understood unless you know someone who's going through it, but at least you're learning more about it. Some folks don't even bother. No harm done. :)
