Cool Trans Essay

  Theology of Hope and Healing From A Bisexual Transman with Depression and Anxiety Introduction There’s a questionnaire that I answer often. It’s called a safety plan. The full gist of this questionnaire is that it will be used in case I have suicidal ideations or express suicidal behavior. There are two questions that stunt my progress. “Why do you value your life?” and “what brings you hope?”. I don’t know. I’m discerning if I’m looking for a theology of hope or a theology of healing. Formed in the Presbyterian tradition the answers are easy. I have hope in the resurrection and the life ever after. I value my life because God, creator, father, beginner knitted me in my mother’s womb and knew me by name. Fairly rehearsed.

Dirty Little Secrets - Short Story Collection - A Mini Review

 


If you ever wondered about reading a short story collection of a weekend of sexual encounters was perfect for you, then this title is for you. In this collection, Tuesday Daily brings to life the character of Molly. Molly is a college student with a best friend Megan (spoiler: more than friends).

Dirty Little Secrets features six short stories. It is but reminiscent of the infamous "plot, what plot?" type of stories which is perfectly fine for some erotic writings. There is a bit of sneaking around for Molly, perhaps her character is a self-proclaimed slut, but not "the other woman" as made clear in "Friend With Benefits". What is a slut anyway? It would be interesting to see the world accept the fact that enjoying sexuality or sexual encounters is not slut behavior.

Remarkably, in between each short story was an image. The combination of images and story gives the reader something to look forward to. Most of the images pertain to the next short story, though not wildly erotic in nature. Yet, the images are artistic and beautifully selected.

I did feel some of the lesbian, if that is the right term, same-sex?, scenarios were more crafty than say like the threesome. It could be a reader preference. Definitely, however, in terms of literary style, this short collection is not literary erotica. It is pure, undulated, sex. Proceed with caution. Or do not proceed with caution: read with reckless abandon.
