Ever lose respect for an author?

While I strive to remain neutral on many things, there is one thing I am not neutral about, transgender rights. I don't believe in taking the rights of a person who is  transgender and dressing them in a way that could be considered mentally harmful. While I sat down and read that tweets that one author did, and I will mention I used to respect that lady, right now I do not. I'm disgusted and I would never attack someone based on it because I have too many friends who are transgender and much of the time, they're friends.

I grew to hate it when a person assumed my friend who was dressed in a dress, had her hair up, but still had voice issues due to being born a man was laughed at. I oftentimes had to bite my tongue and my friend would see become annoyed or distraught because I could clearly see how unwelcome we were. The truth is it is not about just acceptance in my eyes, it's about being human! 

My first experience with a transgender person was when I was in my twenties, the first time was with a friend and for the most part, I didn't clearly say, "no," to the meeting. Here we were in the LGBTQ office at a college, here we were making comments about Little India which catered the food for the meeting. How much we enjoyed the chicken korma, the game of phase 10, the moments we laughed at our jokes. She was and always has been a friend to me ever since. 

Yet when I saw Rowlings's words, I was wanting to tear up every copy of Harry Potter I own. Then I thought, no, that isn't how to work this out. The best way is to make something equally opposing to her views, make something that teaches that even a transgender character is a character who is worthy of love. I considered it my challenge, I have thought about doing it a while, yes, I have a transgender character in the world of the Planor, has she made an appearance, yes, she has. She's in book two and I'm not about to tell anyone yet until the book has been published sometime at the end of the year. I am starting to draw in the fact I want this character to show where she can go. 

I have been wanting to do this long before I heard about Rowlings being transphobic, the truth is I wanted to make a character that was based off a good friend of mine. She inspired me to make the character and while I will not name her yet, it is going to be a joy to add a new character to the world I created and enjoy. 

So I look forward to 2021 when I have brought up my webpage and also the characters that will inhabit the world of the Planor. 

Well...here goes the history

I have going to work with this, I'm going to be working on my book and Final Fantasy XIV due to illness, as of July 3rd, I'm going to be recovering from surgery. I am hoping that by the time I get well on July 11th, the new book will be done. 

The Dragon's Library Second book will be finished sometime in August and will be projected to be done with editing in December to be ready for next year. Yeah, this is going to take awhile.

The Pride Month story will be out sometime next month, it will be late, but at least it will get a release date sometime in the end of the month. 

Pride Month: Thadious and Quil'recca Get a Story

I was asked a while back about two characters in the book and I thought about it, yeah, I could do it, and yeah I will make it about these two characters. I was thinking about doing their side story for awhile and while I am working on the second book, it started to become clear that their story needs to be told. 

I was never so sure until I was reading through the book, then I realized how much work I have been doing on everything. I was thinking about it, and while I am going to be laid up from surgery coming up in July, I have to finish this book off.

The second book is having issues

Working on the side story

So when you think side story for the Dragon's Library, yeah I am deciding to do the story with Belsom and his boyfriend, Quil. While I know it will be requested in the future by an LGBTQ audiences, I am hoping to say my favorite gay men are going to be getting their own story. 

I am pretty much saying, "Yeah, we have pride month right now and BINGO, bring in Quil'reca and Belsom!"

I am feeling that this could be a great idea!
