Aang Ain't White  Once upon a time, way back in high school, I had to watch a movie about the life of Ghengis Khan. In the movie, the part of the Chinese princess was played by a blonde American actress. When I complained about this blatant disregard for accuracy to my teacher, his response was that the movie was made in the late 1960s, and feelings of animosity towards the continent of Asia in general were at an all-time high due to the Cold War. According to him, if an actual Chinese woman or even a Chinese-looking woman were cast in the role of the princess, the ignorant American public of yesteryear wouldn't have been able to relate to her as a character
In Our World 9 Early the next morning, Catti-brie met up with Harkle on the lawn of the Ivy Mansion. They were joined by nearly all of the other Harpells, along with Jarlaxle. It was time to send the mercenaries after Drizzt.

"Where is Entreri?" Catti-brie asked the drow.

Jarlaxle smiled, exuding an air of calm and poise. "He shall be along shortly," he promised her.

In truth, Jarlaxle was unsure if the assassin would be along at all. They hadn't spoken since their argument in the hallway the day before.

His uncertainty was laid to rest as he spotted the assassin approaching the crowd. Jarlaxle removed his hat and waved it in the air with great enth

Text reads as follows:

His birth certificate says "female," his parents call him "daughter," and his mail comes addressed to "Amanda Jones." But despite his female body, Thomas wears men's clothes and reads men's magazines, and his greatest aspiration is to have his gender legally changed to male. To do that, he must have a doctor's recommendation and begin taking testosterone.

But Thomas lives for singing, and there's no telling what effect the testosterone will have on his voice.

So Thomas is caught between male and female, unable to decide if it's worth throwing away his family and his voice to live as a man.

That's when the contest comes to town, a karaoke tournament for drag kings. Thomas competes with the most talented girls-dressed-as-guys for the ultimate prize: a recording contract with the biggest label in the country. Thomas thinks he has decided: if he wins, he will keep his voice and go on doing what he loves. If he loses, he will take testosterone and become the man he always wanted to be.

But as he throws in his lot with the lesbians, bisexuals, transmen and genderqueers, Thomas's dilemma becomes anything but easier. In fact, he's not sure he wants to win the contest at all...

Male or female? Obscurity or fame? Will Thomas choose for himself or let the contest choose for him? Find out, in NUMBER ONE SINGING KING!

Oh god. If I saw this at the bookstore, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. XD I'm not really sure if that's a compliment to your entry or an insult to my level of sanity, but hey. I like it anyway. ^^ Please tell me you write and are finishing up this story as we speak.
