Raven's Misguided Adventure

 Adult-themed; login required. The full story is for adults 18+ and is available to Sissy Life members only.

"Raven's Misguided Adventure" is the first installment of an adult sissy fiction story by Brianna Nicole Austin, published on Sissy Life on March 29, 2025. It opens on a bitterly cold night as Randi, a confident 24-year-old in heels, a suede miniskirt, and a fur coat, walks home alone from a club, enjoying the walk and the pleasure of presenting as a girl even though no one at the club caught her interest. When an older man named Eddie offers her a ride, she is uneasy but accepts, and the story follows the encounter that unfolds from there, told in a playful, teasing tone with a strong thread of power play between the two characters.

Part one is sexually explicit in places, and it ends on a dark turn: after a roleplay-style exchange, Randi is suddenly drugged and driven away, and Eddie announces he will rename her "Raven." The installment closes with "To be continued," so readers should expect non-consensual elements in the story's next chapters.

Are you a sissy?

 

"How to Be a Good Girl: The Practice of Sissyhood, Step by Step" is a warm, practical guide on Sissy Life for adults who identify as sissies, crossdressers, or femboys, or who are curious about those identities. It treats femininity as a gradual practice rather than a performance and guides readers through eleven lessons: mindset, choosing a femme name, grooming, wardrobe, makeup, posture and walking, voice, manners, domestic skills, going out safely, and finding community. The advice is concrete and encouraging, such as starting with privacy and self-kindness, buying clothes that fit rather than expensive ones, learning makeup in a set order, and practicing movement and voice at home before going out.

The guide also puts safety and consent up front. It suggests going out in small steps, telling someone your plans, and carrying money for a ride home, and it warns readers to be wary of anyone who asks for money, pressures them for photos, or rushes them to meet. A closing consent note says that partner-led practice is only fine when both people want it and either can stop. It ends with an FAQ and an invitation to join the community.

Transgender Wrestling Case

Two pieces on briannaaustin.com, read side by side: a news report on a pending Supreme Court request about transgender athletes in Washington state, and a commentary arguing that many school sports bans respond to a problem far smaller than the debate suggests.

The news: a Washington wrestling case reaches the Supreme Court

A Washington high school wrestler, identified in court papers as K.M.K., and her mother have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to order the state to bar transgender athletes from girls' sports while their case is appealed. The family submitted the request, No. 26A458, to Justice Elena Kagan on October 2, 2026. The family also asks that K.M.K. be allowed to skip matches against transgender athletes without penalty. They argue that Washington's policy violates Title IX and interferes with a parent's rights over a child's health and safety.

An Unexpected Turn - 2nd Edition, Illustrated

An Unexpected Turn is a fast-moving coming-of-age novel that explores secrecy, identity, and the ripple effects of our choices — poignant, comical, and moving.

For 13-year-old Ricky, compulsive behavior has always been part of his world — hidden, unspoken, carefully managed — until the day his mother walks in on him dressed in his sister’s clothes during her weekly ladies’ lunch.

They're at it again -- more trans obsession

Colorado and Washington Voters Will Decide Transgender Ballot Measures on November 3

Voters in Colorado and Washington will decide ballot measures on transgender students in school sports on November 3, 2026. Colorado voters will also weigh a ban on surgeries for minors. Ballotpedia describes Washington's sports initiative as the first statewide measure of its kind to qualify for a ballot in the United States.

Colorado Proposition 134 would require schools and colleges to label every team as male, female or coeducational. It would bar transgender students from teams that match their gender identity. If approved, it would take effect January 1, 2027. The measure does not say how a student's sex would be determined. Supporters and opponents disagree about what that means in practice.

Update - HUD by July 29

 

Now is the time to speak up. You can make a difference. Federal agencies are required to review and consider public comments before finalizing a rule. Personal, unique comments can be very impactful. Tell HUD why safe, equal access to housing matters to you, your family, your work, or your community. View TransOhio's comment for inspiration. Submit your public comment by 11:59PM on FRIDAY, June 29  Visit Regulations.gov (Docket HUD-2026-0529 / FR-6518-P-01) and share your thoughts. Whether you're transgender, an ally, a service provider, a family member, or simply believe everyone deserves safe housing, your voice matters. You can even submit a pubmit comment anonymously. Thank you for standing with Ohio's greater trans communities. Speak Up for Safe Housing — Submit a Comment by Friday, June 29 The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has proposed rolling back the Equal Access Rule, a policy that currently helps ensure trans people can access federally-funded housing and emergency shelters consistent with their gender identity. The proposal would remove references to gender identity from HUD regulations, which will allow federally-funded shelters to deny trans, nonbinary, and intersex people access to appropriate facilities or require invasive proof of a person's "biological sex."  GO THERE NOW Everyone should have access to safe housing Since 2012, the Equal Access Rule has prohibited discrimination based on actual and presumed gender identity and/or sexual orientation in federally-funded housing programs. In 2016, HUD strengthened those protections by requiring federally-funded shelters to house transgender people according to their self-selected gender identity, regardless of legal sex designation on identification. In 2025, HUD stopped enforcing EAR. HUD is now proposing to roll back those protections entirely and require housing placement based on "biological sex." Submit a public comment now telling HUD to keep the existing policy in place so emergency shelters and housing programs do not deny individuals based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status.
