Right now, mine would be titled, "Be A Man or Die Trying" but that's subject to change.
Actually now I feel like the title should be "....And That Is Why You're Single" :D
I'm liking Bibles and Mr. Cellophane.....short and sweet :D
Bibles.
Mr. Cellophane
My life has been too epic to be bound to a single story. It would have to be a book series with a possible mini-series in the works with HBO, ( Drama with a touch of comedy), But a good title would be "From Egypt to Womanhood", referring to the fact that I have traveled around the world but I was happiest most when I transitioned.

Do you wear something instead of pants? I wear pajamas or scrubs at home when I don't have to wear pants. If you don't wear pants substitutes does your furniture feel weird?
The Bejewelled Cranium. Named as such because of a suuuper secret plan I have (on my birthday, I'm gonna shave my head and glue rhinestones and stuff all over it and look like a disco alien from planet Freak).
Realizing Infinity At the Edge of Dreaming
The Narrative is Everything
We understand our own life and the lives of others only trough the stories we share. We can not understand existence, existence is just too big and too detailed? The only thing we know, the only thing we are slightly able to communicate is a (very narrowly and subjective) narrative about our own existence as we share it with each other. And in the end, our part in the narrative by others is all that remains of us.

Haha sometimes I wear pj's, or just undies, or nothing :D
and yeah it prolly did at one time, but I'm so used to it now.
Belive it or Not
I'm a bit stuck. One the one hand, I want something rather humerous, but can't think of anything. On the other, something deep and meaningful, but sadly, can't see myself as that either. A few, might be confused with some of the negative notions that transgender have to struggle with.
I've thought about this most of today, I'll sleep on it and if I come up with anything that's absolutely spot on, I'll post tomorrow.

Thats how I felt lol I wanted something kind of funny.....sometime to do with Peach Soda and cheesecake
I actually have considered writing an autobiography :) I was thinking to call it something simple like 'A Girl Named Virginia' but then I thought that sounded too common and corny :P
My friend is determined to write a book about my transition/life. His first title "It's A Man...Duh!", referring to my birthname Amanda. I vetoed that by letting him know I hadn't heard that joke since 5th grade, and acknowledging how perceptive those kids actually were. The one I'm liking now is "Revealing A Man", but in all honesty I'd prefer he let the book thing go. I don't think I'm interesting enough to write about.
It wasn't suppose to stick out that far! or at all!!!

This may be 5th grade but I am laughing my ass off. :laugh:
The Curious Prince
Out of my brothers and sisters, I was always given the most attention and help with what I wanted to do (my sister says I am like the prince of the family heh). And, well, the "curious" is because I can be a bit strange (and do strange things) .... and because I am just so curious about lots of things.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Surgeon
LOL that's a good one Cindy!
I really want to say something like: One Girl's War. But that is already a book title with somewhat more challenging connotations.
Though Cindy's idea is really good.
I had to do this once, for a therapy group. Illustrate a cover and everything. I think I called it Whence Comes This Melody?, from a song from Sweeney Todd. If I had to do it over, I might call it I Saw Him Once, which comes from a song in Les Miserables. Musical theatre, I likes it.
Entangled In Nonlocality or maybe Misty Liminal
I think I'd do it in 2 books.. The first would be titled 'The man who never was..' and I'm still working on the second books title..

Good one Cindy..
How 'bout... 'Me and My Cute Lil Tale'?
"What a long, strange trip it's been"
"...barely anyone knew her"
"(Trans)dermal" as i am on patches XD
"explosions in the sky."
great band, fitting title.

Destined to be a classic best seller ;D
"On the outside, looking in"
...like a kid at a candy store window...but whenever I try to go in (as a kid), I get the hell beaten out of me; later, when I try to go in as an adult, the door just never opens for me. People go in, and come out, but never allow me to get to the door before it closes.
In many ways, my life can be compared to Gollum's. Sorry...not a happy story.
How does this relate to being TG? When I was "a man", I was invisible. People never, ever came up to me and said "Hi!", and when I did, they quickly, politely, left the area. Once I embraced my TG-ness, all of a sudden people are smiling at me, they come up to me to talk, listen to me, and even hug me! Night-and-day difference!
Now if I can just get my "middle finger" whacked off...

This is on a lot of our buses, or was for awhile last year anyway. It doesn't map to your situation really, but your words remind me of it.

Confused about sexuality and gender.
Wake up call.
Quote from: Beverley on February 20, 2012, 04:54:26 AM
I cannot make my mind up about a title...
I would like to use the Oscar Wilde quote someone posted a while ago "Be yourself, everyone else is taken". If I was being honest I would go for "Keep yourself busy, it's better than thinking"
Beverley
I like that.
I've thought about this on and off. "Progress" "The Unfinished Woman" "Unicorn Lonely" Or just "F".
Star Wars, Episode VII
Lost! Again

Hahahaha, just noticed this.
YES. I would buy this book!
"Never got to be myself"
"Stuck between between expectations and conscience"
"Mistakes where made along the way..."
