Author and photographer Susan Kuklin met and interviewed six transgender or gender-neutral young adults and used her considerable skills to represent them thoughtfully and respectfully before, during, and after their personal acknowledgment of gender preference. Each honest discussion and disclosure, whether joyful or heartbreaking, is completely different from the other because of family dynamics, living situations, gender, and the transition these teens make in recognition of their true selves.

Will AI take over?

The evolution of artificial intelligence can be traced back to the mid-20th century, when foundational concepts were first introduced by pioneers in computer science. Early developments focused on creating machines that could mimic human reasoning and problem-solving capabilities. These initial efforts laid the groundwork for the sophisticated algorithms and machine learning techniques that underpin modern AI systems.

Lan Carter hated these windowless Troop Transports more than he hated anything else in life. It was true that he hated war in general, with every gram of his being, but yet he hated these windowless Troop Transports even more. A soldier couldn't see what he was being dropped into, was the whole issue! The Brass didn't want the Infantry Soldier to see what he, or she, was being dropped into, of course, because it only gave them time to become terrified. Terror was nonproductive.

Tanya sees someone from her past in a chance encounter—that chance encounter triggering a flash of memory from her forgotten childhood. Amnesia they had told her. That chance encounter—and the face of the one she hated more than any other—released the floodgate of her suppressed memories. Tanya begins to remember everything . . . and to realize her entire life had been a living lie. She wasn't who she had been told she was . . . and someone was going to pay for it! Sci-Fi Action. Thanks and enjoy. New re-edit in place.
