Join me as I relive my childhood through hours and hours of therapy, lose everything dear to me and then emerge out of the ashes of my life a better.... woman.
===================================
Marco DeMello grew up in a stereotypical 80's household. His Italian heritage and family's conservative views made a childhood for Marco, very difficult. In their house, boys were boys and girls were girls. Marco didn't fit the mold for a boy in the DeMello house.

Hopanoia omnibus: red words to blue hearts
A contuation of the religion of one grimoir multi project. The universe is indifferent. You already knew that. Here's what nobody told you: indifferent isn't the same as empty. HOPANOIA: Red Words to Blue Hearts is a book being written in public - a living document from a trans woman in Georgia who decided that nihilism wasn't the end of the conversation, just the beginning of a more honest one. It's a philosophy manual for people who can't stand philosophy manuals. A memoir for people who distrust memoir. A spiritual practice built by someone who doesn't believe in spirits. A TTRPG framework for the actual campaign of your life. It calls itself a "religion of one" - anti-dogma, open-source, built to be forked and remixed, never followed literally. Its central move is Anomance: the act of animating a dead universe with meaning, not because it's true, but because it makes the universe livable. These are the working notes. 196 parts and counting. Written through mental illness, HRT, grief, political collapse, and the daily act of refusing to go quietly. The real book is being mined from this archive in real time. You're not reading a finished thing. You're watching something become itself. If that sounds like your kind of book - you're already the reader this was written for. Signed: a thot that likes thinking. How to Use This Framework This is a mirror, not a map. It doesn't tell you where to go. It shows you what you're carrying. Tag your journal HOPANOIA if it helped you see something. You don't need permission. You don't need to agree with everything. You don't need a degree. Trigger warnings here are invitations, not fences. They mean: this door opens onto something real. Come in when you're ready. Build your own Omnibus. The Bible just shows you how mirrors are made. Anti-dogma. Open source. Remixable. If I must be a demon, I will be an ethical one.Complete
A Different Kind of Love
Max was very different -- but in a unique way. That much Justin could figure out. He just couldn't figure out what was different about her. There was something about her that drew him closer and he just had to figure that out. But what happened when he found out? Did he discover he was way in over his head? Max tried to stay to himself for the most part. He hated the idea of someone calling him a girl to his face. Just the mere thought sent him in a spiral -- he wanted to take the thing out of his pocket to make him focus on something else. But he didn't. Often. Especially since he noticed the kind-eyed kid in the front of his class noticing him more and more. He didn't know what the boy wanted -- he didn't think it could be good. But what happened when he decided to trust him? Would he regret it? *Rated mature because of the topic -- there will also be self-harm and cussing and other things like that. Read at your own risk. *Story has been editedComplete

Talk Softly and Carry Your Big Stick with Pride
A transgender woman on the biology, sociology, and history of the gender spectrum. Gender variance is nothing new. Our stories have been told as far back as the 23rd Century BCE. CHECKMATE, TRANSPHOBES! Our chromosomes come in all different variations, and even transgress into other chromosomal systems of different species, eventually transcending all the way back to asexual roots. CHECKMATE, NECKBEARDS! This is the book I wish I'd had when I first began transitioning. I had to look all over the place to find the answers - even just the questions - I was looking for. So I wrote this as a sort of bite-sized one-stop-shop on some of the different concepts that make us who we are. I hope the information found here can help others as much as it helped me. This book is also available in paperback and kindle formats at https://www.amazon.com/Talk-Softly-Carry-Stick-Pride/dp/1719068933/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1539311722&sr=8-1Complete
'è - An Autobiography to Let Go
It's grief, remnants of an innocent life that now exists as a colorful memory. Two separate families, & one child in the middle of it all. Pain & prejudice, what it takes to build true body armor. Mind games & psychology; with great power comes great deceptions. Is it a love story? A trip down memory lane? Or are we pulling a Taylor Swift & putting all of our exes on blast? Okay, so the hero is the villain & then back to a hero? Were they even a hero to begin with, or just an insatiable dreamer? Grow & break, & grow again. Only I can mend all of the choices he has made, it's my responsibility now. I killed him, & my life takes over where he left off. Lol, so fucking dramatic. This book is probably the most Gen Z thing you'll ever read. But it's all true, the walls are being torn down, & no longer am I going to hide. The most vulnerable I'll ever be. To my family, friends, old & new, & all other loved ones & people mentioned, forgive me. I'm finally letting go.Complete
