I really enjoyed it, well written and so nicely constructed. I was not born then so my cumming out and following life has been very different. The period feel is so well set and described it brings it alive for me, though it can still be tough now It must have been so hard then, I am really looking forward to the next part,
Thank you.

You are an incredible storyteller! Although, I believe it should be spelled Sergeant instead of Sargent.
I was born In These times. My GP called me a pervert . My sperm donor beat the crap out of me .i also was interned in a mental hospital. 6 lots of electro shock treatment . Ahh that was the day Thank you for telling it like it was
Michele you've done it again. Great job dear. I don't know how you do it.
Thank you again for being so talented a writer telling a tale of a trans woman on the streets in the 1970's .. A strong woman doing what she has chosen to live. I found myself being drawn into Charlie's life and even being her. Please continue .. TG Tiffany
Sadly I just hadn't got round to reading transgender stories when this came out but I'm doing my best to catch up now and am enjoying every line of print! Congratulations on some tremendous stories. I've read 'My brother; my sister' and the entire 'Cop Town Girl' chapters and now this story and I'm hooked!
Amazing stories you write - so descriptive and even evocative. I'm also old enough to remember the days you're writing about here as I was indeed a teenager back then and I'll even admit to making use of the "ten bob job" as she was known in our locality - she who hung out just off the back of the market. She wasn't a transvestite or transsexual but your story is bringing so much of it back to me... and in truth I thoroughly enjoyed my five minutes of sexual fun!
However, in this instance I'm not so much praising you as taking you to task - because you're getting one side of the country mixed with the other. You wrote of the Essex Slasher - and then, a few pages on you renamed him the Exeter Slasher.
Kindly keep your slashers to the East coast and leave us in the Westcountry in peace!
But do please keep writing.
Another great read from a gal who knows how to write it !
A few chores to do then I am back to reading.
