Continuing the reading of my book, from where I left off at Chapter 4. Now that the book is complete and nearing release, in print this will appear as Chapter 5. It covers early memories with my sister and lays the groundwork for events that will happen later in the narrative. 

Talk about upcoming book release and the struggles in completing it. I also go into why I felt it was important to finish and release within the next year.

I was only tentatively planning to continue this year, and unfortunately I felt I had no choice but to be the most cliché thing of the moment. This is a raw, unedited perspective on the purposes, mistakes, and early triumphs of Dave Chappelle's recent comedy spree. It rambles in places, and there are some misspoken words in places, but the episode is left unedited for the sake of authenticity.

And now that I've made this episode and I am coming close to concluding the writing of my book, I intend to continue with this season. It's been almost a year since my last episode, I will be sharing chapters 4 and 5 of my book in upcoming episodes as well as continuing to add some leveled thoughts as a trans woman, mother, artist, and student of science.

I've been gone a while due to surgery, but I'm back. In this episode I talk shortly about the actress recently let go by Disney. Then I discuss the great raging debate in and surrounding the transgender community, as always. Biological reality. I attempt to discuss transgender acceptance from the most traditionalist stance and move outward. Finally, I decide to share an intimate detail about myself that is difficult for me to.

Presenting, A Bigger Table - A Thanksgiving Story.  You can support any cast or production member of Stargazer Virtual Community Theater though their Patreon. Mine is https://www.patreon.com/lauraengram.

Please listen for a the list of cast members in the curtain call, as many people devoted much of their free time to make this possible, while also handling many of their own responsibilities.

I dedicate my  narration work in this to my daughter, who herself played Young Eliza so excitedly and amazingly, and to my son, who happily brought Wesley the Wagon Boy to life. I am so extremely proud of them.

And a very special thanks to Jenner Zeno, for putting all the production together, and making this holiday season memorable. In addition to founding Studio Stargazer, Jenner produced and recorded and takes credit for the majority of this project. Without his fire, this project wouldn't have been as unforgettable.

I continue reading my book, Growing Up As One of Jehovah's Transsexuals. In the third chapter, I go on a thoughtful road trip with my best friend, struggling to come to terms conflicting feelings, a world collapsing around me, and still having new experiences. My hope is that this book shed light on the difficult choices and ingrained flaws fundamentalists are faced with and learn after years in such cults, and how it is possible to grow.
