I tell the Story For All Ages about once a month at the morning service of my Unitarian Universalist Church in Colorado Springs.  The church recently started a Sunday evening service.  Sunday after next is Pridefest.  After the morning service, there is a large contingent of churchgoers, straight and gay, who march in the Parade.  I have been asked to tell a story about coming-out for the evening service.  I anticipate that the congregation at this service will have some people from the morning service who like my stories, the regular evening-service people, and people from Pridefest who decide to come to the service.  There will be three other people telling coming-out stories, I don't know who they are or what their story will be about.  I am sure my story will be last, because I am a very powerful storyteller and the pastor would know not to make another performer follow me.

I posted the two stories on my blog: https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/board,330.0.html

Which one do you think I should tell?
It's easier to change your sex and gender in Iran, than it is in the United States.  Way easier.

Please read my novel, Dragonfly and the Pack of Three, available on Amazon - and encourage your local library to buy it too! We need realistic portrayals of trans people in literature, for all our sakes
