Ryan Anderson, nature photographer, hopes catching the magic of the mountains on film will be his claim to fame. He's not a big fan of the posh jet-set crowd, but the beautiful vistas around town definitely make up for it.

I swapped the 'workaholic' trait for 'photographer's eye', and changed his LTW to 'Visionary' :)

Ryan also has a townie brother called Kyle - see his quick makeover under the cut!

Transcript under the cut

Ryan woke in the middle of the night. His mind troubled over the dream he’d had. A dream where Papa had died and he couldn’t heal him. He kept trying and trying but nothing happened. Why was he dreaming about losing Papa now?

A soft voice cut through his thoughts, calm yet firm. “Why are you awake?” Hayle asked, his tone carrying quiet authority..

Ryan looked up into the gentle eyes of their guardian dragon and sighed. “I couldn’t sleep…”

Hayle crouched down beside him, meeting Ryan’s gaze. “Is that all? Or did you have a bad dream?”

Shaking his head, Ryan’s shoulders slumped “I keep dreaming about Papa. I keep trying to heal him but it doesn’t work and …” He snapped his mouth shut, shivering.

Hayle put a gentle hand on the boy’s shoulder “you did all you could for him…”

Ryan stared at his feet, picking at his fingers. “But what if it wasn’t enough? I want to make him all better”

Hayle’s expression softened, though concern darkened his eyes. “A dragon’s gift of healing is tied to their Heartlight, the bond we share with those we love. It comes with a cost. If we’re not strong enough, the shadows can twist that gift.”

Ryan swallowed hard, his small hands clenched in fists. “I don’t care if it hurts me. I just want Papa to live without pain.”

Hayle’s gaze never left the boy as he continued in a low understanding tone. “That is an admirable desire. But is that what your Papa wants?”

Ryan heaved a heavy sigh “no but I know I can do it. All I need is to be a little stronger…”

Hayle considered the boy’s words a moment before asking “healing is more than strength. It is balance, knowing how much to give without losing yourself.”

“What if this is the only chance I get to heal him?” Ryan asked, his voice cracking as tears ran down his cheeks. “I could heal him while he’s asleep. He’ll never know…”

Hayle’s eyes grew somber, his tone instructional. “Your heart is in the right place, but to go behind your papa’s back would twist the gift. Healing without consent is not healing…it is harm.”

Ryan gasped, his eyes growing round with dismay. “I don’t…I didn’t…”

“I know,” Hayle said gently, “it’s hard not to act when you see someone  you love in pain. You will learn Ryan as you grow when to act and when to wait. Your gift is rare, and one day you will master it. But for now, your papa needs your love more than your healing.”

Sniffing, Ryan wiped  his eyes with the back of his hand. “So I …just keep loving him?”

Hayle gave him a brief smile. “It’s more than enough,” he assured the boy. “And when the time comes, when you’re older and stronger, I will teach you how to use your gift safely.”

Ryan felt the tension melt from his shoulders, although his desire remained. Slowly he nodded “then I’ll be patient and learn. So that one day I can heal him for good.”

Hayle nodded, his voice solemn saying,  “and I will be there to guide you.”

In the following days Hayle often found Ryan sitting alone practicing healing methods Hayle had shown him. Hayle was not a healing dragon but his age had brought him into contact with many forms of dragons and in time he would ask Cecil to step in as mentor for the boy.

Today Ryan’s frustration was obvious “I’ll never get it. It’s too hard.”

Hayle rested a hand on Ryan’s shoulder before taking a seat across from him on the floor. “Not with that attitude.”

Ryan slouched, muttering. “If I’m a healer, shouldn’t it just come naturally? It did before, when I helped Papa.”

“You acted upon the knowledge that dragons of your kind have but you have not been raised by dragons so your instinct is without training. Hayle explained “give yourself time. Be patient. Healing is restraint. It is knowing when to stop even when your heart tells you to continue.”

To demonstrate Hayle pulled a small clay pot from a nearby shelf, its rim cracked. He placed it between them. “This pot is like your papa. Broken but still whole. If you pour water into it too quickly it will spill and crack further. But if you pour slowly it will hold. Healing is the same.”

Ryan stared at the pot as he absorbed Hayle’s lesson. Nodding he lifted his hands, mimicking the way Hayle had shown him to channel light. A faint shimmer glowed at his fingertips, fragile at first but growing stronger. He pressed his hands to the clay pot, his face scrunched in concentration.

The healing glow flared too quickly, spilling out uncontrolled. The pot rattled, the small crack growing wider. Gasping Ryan pulled his hands away “I messed up.”

Shaking his head Hayle said “no you learned. You saw what was happening and stopped. Try again. Slowly. Take your time. Maintain balance. Don’t rush.”

Gulping Ryan closed his eyes as he took several deep breaths forcing his impatience to succeed to the back of his mind. He took the clay pot in his hands, his healing glow softer, steadier, he let it trickle out instead of in a torrent. The pot held. The crack mended; although it was still visible.

Opening his eyes Ryan stared at the pot, a smile tugging at his lips. “I did it. It didn’t break.”

Hayle nodded, sharing the boy’s triumph. “Do you know why?”

Nodding Ryan said “because this time I didn’t rush. I was thinking about giving just enough and not on fixing the crack.”

Hayle stood “I think that’s enough for today. I think you’re ready now to train with Cecil.”

“Really? When?” Ryan asked excitedly, erasing any traces of restraint from his voice.

“I will ask him after we visit your papa today,” Hayle promised. “Now it’s time for breakfast.”

I'm back to talking about Gypsy Rose because some of yall have been weird as fuck about her divorce.

She's. Allowed. To leave. Her husband.

Gypsy Rose. Is allowed. To get. Divorced.

Even if its for a "bad" reason (it's not). Even if it's for no reason (it's not). She chose to marry him, she gets to choose to leave too.

All you weirdos talking about Ryan like he's some sad agentless man cruelly discarded is misogynistic and obsessive as fuck. He intentionally reached out to someone who he knew had had a chaotic and traumatic life while she was actively incarcerated and chose to legally bind her to him while she was incarcerated.

Ryan Anderson is the broke equivalent of a passport bro. He sought a woman with as little life experience and options as possible and weaseled his way into her life thinking that if he could lock it down ASAP she'd be stuck with him forever. Too bad so sad.

His pathetic "woe is me" persona exists to distract you from the fact that five years ago he sought out an imprisoned almost virginal almost teenager to live out his sexual fantasy with and the moment she had options she rejected it. Don't let it.

I don't feel sorry for Ryan and neither should you. At best he's a mid guy whose wife found something better, at worst he's an actual predator.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard was a prisoner for her entire life, and some people still find a way to shit on her newfound optimism and happiness. Just like her mother did.

Best-Selling controversial book on transgender people removed from Amazon 3 years after publication

Ryan Anderson's "When Harry Became Sally" has been removed from Amazon's cyber shelves. The author argues the book is crucial to the dialogu

Ryan Anderson's When Harry Became Sally was removed from Amazon's cyber shelves Sunday, three years after the controversial best-seller was published on February 20, 2018.

Anderson told Newsweek that he discovered that his book had vanished from Amazon—as well as the company's e-reader Kindle, podcast service Audible and used-book sellers—when someone looking to buy a copy informed the author. He said that neither he nor his publisher were notified by Amazon.

In 2018, the book hit No. 1 on two of Amazon's best-seller list before it was even released, but sparked controversy for arguing that society's growing acceptance of transgender people stems more from ideology than science.

”"We need to respect the dignity of people who identify as transgender," Anderson argued in the book, "but without encouraging children to undergo experimental transition treatments, and without trampling on the needs and interests of others."

While the book was well-received by conservatives, LGBTQ activists have dismissed the book as anti-trans and "dangerous."

"People who have actually read my book discovered that it was a thoughtful and accessible presentation of the state of the scientific, medical, philosophical and legal debates," Anderson told Newsweek. "Yes, it advances an argument from a certain viewpoint. No, it didn't get any facts wrong, and it didn't engage in any name-calling."

He argues that the book's research is more important than ever before given the recent push for trans policies from the new Biden administration.

"Three years after publication, in the very same week that the House of Representatives is going to ram through a radical transgender bill amending the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Amazon erases my book opposing gender ideology from their cyber shelves," Anderson wrote to Newsweek. "Make no mistake, both Big Government and Big Tech can undermine human dignity and liberty, human flourishing and the common good."

On his first day in office, President Joe Biden undid a host of Trump-era policies and issued a sweeping executive order, protecting gay and transgender people from discrimination in schools, the workplace, health care among other facets of daily life.

"Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports," Biden's executive order stated. "Adults should be able to earn a living and pursue a vocation knowing that they will not be fired, demoted, or mistreated because of whom they go home to or because how they dress does not conform to sex-based stereotypes. People should be able to access health care and secure a roof over their heads without being subjected to sex discrimination."

Days later, Biden also reversed former President Donald Trump's ban on transgender individuals serving in the U.S. military.

The House of Representatives is expected to vote on the Equality Act this week after Democratic Representative David Cicilline of Rhode Island reintroduced the LGBTQ rights bill last week.

The Equality Act would prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing, credit, education, public spaces, public funding and jury service.

While it passed the House in 2019 after eight GOP lawmakers broke party ranks in a historic vote, the bill was stalled in the then-Republican-controlled Senate. But sponsors of the bill are hopeful that it could pass now that the Senate is split 50–50.
