  • Chapter 16: Pedophilia is no Joke

    An event happened that made me feel suicidal in the winter near Christmas time. A team lead at Walmart decided it would be a good idea to bother me while I was stocking the baking aisle A17. He decided to ask me if I wanted to have children. I told him maybe if I were married and wanted to adopt children. And he said, “No, I mean HAVE children in a way like pedophilia”.

    I was upset at the time, but told him I would never hurt a child because I know what it’s like to be molested. He went on, and I went back to stocking and trying to look like I was okay. Inside, I was thinking, “What the hell?!?!?! Why would he even ask me that?”

    A few days later, I questioned him on why he asked me that. He said he was joking, but I said it was not something to joke about at work and distract me from my job. He said, “Why does it bother you if it’s not true?”

    He apologized, reluctantly, in the presence of the overnight coach who witnessed our short fight.

    I was not completely satisfied with this, and he still made plenty of sexual jokes over the next few months. After a while, I really started wondering if he jokes this way with everyone (not good), or if he specifically is targeting me because I am a transgender woman.

    At first, I was afraid to report it because I knew the history of LGBTQIA+ people being accused of all being child molesters. It also became more prevalent during this time because of the open political hatred of transgender people during 2024 and 2025. Therefore, I had reason to believe I could be arrested just on the accusation of being a person who was sexually attracted to children, even if I had never done anything to suggest this was true, nor would I have done something sexual to a child even if it were true.

    I had a difficult decision to make:

    1. Report to ethics and get fired because they will probably think I am a pedophile, and then call the police. I could be written into a sex offender registry, quite possibly be sent to a men’s prison, and be raped by actual violent criminals.

    2. Quit my job to avoid seeing this team lead, who apparently thought I was a pedophile and that it was some kind of joke to ask me about it.

    3. Commit suicide because I live in a world where other transgender women are murdered every single day by transphobic people who assume they are criminals and deserve it.

    4. Stay silent and hope the problem goes away.

    I chose option 4 for longer than I should have; however, Pride Month of 2025 broke me emotionally. I started working on my book, Walking the Rainbow Bridge, for my Portfolio 3 project with Full Sail University.

    During this time, I did a lot of research and read the worst transphobic content on the internet. I became very depressed as I considered how dangerous the situation was. Finally, I decided to make a report against this team lead to protect other people. No matter what happens to me, I don’t want him to talk to someone else this way.

    1. It is simply unacceptable to distract someone from the work they are being paid to do with personal matters that should not be discussed in the workplace.
    2. Even if someone is a pedophile, this is not the same as a child molester. People don’t have to have sex with someone they are attracted to. Therefore, they are not a threat to anyone, especially if all they are doing is stocking shelves at Walmart.
    3. Pedophilia is no joke. It is an unfortunate condition to be attracted to children sexually. I feel bad for these people because they were also born with a brain that does not operate in a way society understands, and they face much persecution. This topic is nothing to joke about; no matter who you are or what your position is, it is not funny.

    Also, to make matters clear, a Pedophile is someone who is sexually attracted to children. A child molester is someone who actually tries to have sex with children. A person can be a pedophile but never have sex with children. A person can molest a child even if they are not a pedophile. These two things are only loosely related.

    I am tired of being treated as if I were some kind of danger to children. I was quite offended and depressed at the thought that this team lead thought that I wanted to have sex with children. Even now, I worry about what led him to think this about me. Is it because I am transgender, or is he trying to tell me something about himself? Either way, this has no place at Walmart or anywhere, for that matter, except perhaps a therapist’s office.

    The only reason I wrote this is so that people are aware of the reality that the innocent rainbow people are often accused of unspeakable crimes against children. But that’s not even the worst part. Those who are raping children are not the ones being called pedophiles. Most children are raped by their own fathers or a catholic priest. An overnight stocker at your local Walmart is not someone you should be afraid of. But that one team lead who thinks Pedophilia is some kind of joke, I still worry about him whenever I have to work overnight at Walmart.

    The conversation on the topic of Pedophilia should be had only outside of the workplace, but I do believe it is worth discussing. There are two main types of pedophiles.

    1. The people sexually attracted to children who will try to rape them if they have the chance.
    2. The people sexually attracted to children who, despite being sexually attracted to them, know that children cannot consent to sexual behavior of any kind. They know it is wrong to hurt children and would never do anything.

    However, society in general does not know the difference between these two types. More importantly, those who are born with the unfortunate condition of being attracted to children don’t really have a way to seek help. If they talk to a therapist about it, that therapist will probably be required to report it to others, and therefore, the person ends up on a sex offender registry, despite not committing any crime or even intending to.

    Therefore, the sad truth is that it seems the only option for a pedophile is to commit to a life of celibacy and keep their attraction a secret. Perhaps this is why the profession of being a catholic priest seems so attractive to people with this condition.

    But I also can’t help but wonder why people have repeatedly accused me of being a pedophile. My only guess is that they take my lack of sexual interest and lack of any activity as a sign that I am the same as those priests who claim to be celibate but are raping children.

    The difference is that I am a celibate person, not because the catholic church mandates it, but because it is the right thing to do. Unlike most Christians who view homosexuality as a sin, I apply the same standards to all sexual activity, no matter whether it is heterosexual, homosexual, adult, or child.

    I would prefer a world where biological sex and genitals didn’t even exist. Then no more children would be hurt. I say this as a child who was raped at the age of two years old.

    No, I am not a pedophile, and no, I do not in any way condone sexual relations with children. However, if being paranoid and protecting your kids from anyone who you think is a threat keeps them safe, then I suggest you do so.

    I have intentionally held back writing this chapter for months, even though it was on my mind constantly. However, just a few days ago, on September 10th, 2025, Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck and died very quickly. I just wanted to make sure that before someone shoots me in the neck that I have written what I need to say. Every death is a reminder of how short and unpredictable life is. Don’t wait until it is too late to write the book you have been planning, spend time with your loved ones, and live authentically for what you believe in, even though doing so is probably why someone will shoot you for it.

  • Chapter 12: Why I Don’t Use the Women’s Restroom

    There is a lot I could say about the never-ending bathroom debate, although it will be ignored. The issue would be resolved if unisex restrooms became the norm, as in one person, one toilet, and one sink. This design was how the restrooms were at the Hy-Vee where I used to work. In fact, originally, they had gendered signs. There were 6 restrooms, and 3 were labeled female and 3 were labeled male. Eventually, they got rid of those signed and replaced them all with unisex signs. There was no point in gendering them because only one person went in at a time, and no one’s privacy was ever violated.

    If businesses took the same method as the Hy-Vee on Rice Road in Lee’s Summit did, there would be no bathroom debate over whether transgender people should be allowed to use the restroom that matches their sense of gender identity.

    This problem is kept alive because society wants an excuse to be hateful to transgender people. I am fully aware of this, and I know that my solution will never be implemented on a wide scale. For this reason, I would like to go a step further and explain why I never use a women’s restroom.

    I don’t use the women’s restroom because I need to protect myself from the women. The worst men could do to me is rape me or murder me when I use the restroom. However, what a woman can do to me is far worse. If I were ever foolish enough to use a public women’s restroom, it would only take one woman in there accusing me of trying to assault her sexually. Of course, it would not be true, but it doesn’t have to be. Either way, someone will call the police, I will probably be arrested and sent to a men’s prison where I will be raped or otherwise beaten by violent men much more dangerous than those in a men’s public restroom.

    I also would experience no benefit to using the women’s restroom. I don’t wish to be around women I don’t know because I can’t trust them not to hurt me. I also don’t want to hear whatever conversations they are having. They are probably complaining about men, and they will see me as an enemy and accuse me of being a man. I don’t wish to deal with that.

    I have used the men’s restroom all my life and I have never even once seen the penis of any of the men there. That is because I am not looking for people’s genitals! Another thing I like about men is that they go in there, pee, poop, fart, or whatever. No conversations, no doing their makeup, and just getting back to working or shopping.

    Although my solution of continuing to use the men’s restroom is quite convenient for me, I completely oppose any law or policy that dictates what restroom people are forced to use. Such laws are impossible to enforce in any meaningful way. Do police have to stand at the entrance of ALL public restrooms and pull the pants down of anyone who just needs to pee? How does this work with people who have had their genitals removed through surgery? What about women who have short hair and therefore look just like men?

    I highly doubt that most people have logically thought about the consequences of trying to legally require people to use the restroom of their “biological sex”. It does not take into account intersex people or transgender men who look like someone who belongs in the men’s restroom because they have been on testosterone long enough to have a beard and a deep voice.

    I am sad that this bathroom controversy exists at all. Still, because it does, I would suggest that both transgender women and transgender men use the men’s restroom unless a unisex restroom is available. I have never once been attacked in a men’s restroom, but I happen to know a cisgender female former manager at Walmart who was attacked in the women’s restroom for the crime of having short hair. Honestly, at this point people are safer in the men’s restroom because even though some men in there may be dangerous, they will probably not be able to tell who they can safely rape or who might be strong enough to kick their butt. They will be less likely to take the risk, especially if they are in a room full of people who look like hybrids, just as I am.

    But regardless of anything I have said here, do whatever is safer in your specific situation and keep fighting for restroom equality! To police who can use which restroom hurts people who are not transgender because many women look like men if they have short hair, are taller, or are muscular because they work out. If you care about women’s safety, you will care about everyone’s privacy as they pee or poop. Using the restroom is not optional, and so everyone should be able to do their business free from harassment.

    Minimal Markdown for Authors

    How to Write and Publish a Book Using Open Source Software

    Chastity White Rose

    Preface

    Hello, I am Chastity White Rose, an author of several books. My best quality work is Chastity’s Chess Chapters.

    When I wrote that book, I was looking for a convenient way to place pictures in the book to demonstrate how to play Chess. I tried using LibreOffice because it had worked so well for all of the previous books I published. However, once images were added, I became frustrated with the menus and various settings that I knew nothing about. Writing a bunch of text and saving it was easy enough, but the images were not fitting, and the words were being displaced as I did it. It was the worst formatting experience of my life.

    However, my solution was found when I discovered the Markdown Guide. I first discovered this amazing new language called Markdown because I am a hobbyist computer programmer, and I have a lot of code on Github. Github projects use a “readme.md” to display information about the project on almost every repository. I knew that these files displayed images as well as text on GitHub, so I tried to figure out what a “.md” file even was.

    As it turns out, Markdown is a markup language that is similar to HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language). The difference is that Markdown is easier to write than HTML. Markdown is easy to convert to other formats, and that is what makes it the perfect tool to use when you are an author and are writing a new book.

    Therefore, I have used it for all of my books since I discovered how useful it is. Because Markdown is only a language, it needs to be interpreted or translated by computer software into its final form. Because of my experience using Markdown and reading books about it by other authors, I have learned about extremely useful software to assist me as a writer who often publishes a book or blog posts on WordPress. In this book, I will be covering some of the tools that I use the most.

    Introduction

    You may wonder what Markdown is and why I would suggest using it. I have 3 main reasons.

    • Markdown is easy to write in because it only requires a text editor on any PC. Even plain Windows Notepad can work, but I will be introducing even more advanced tools that let you preview the final result while you are writing.
    • By using Markdown, you can save money by avoiding the need to use Microsoft Word and remembering what menu options to click to make text bold, italics, or include images or links in your book. You don’t need a word processor at all unless you need advanced control over formatting. Even then, I will teach you how Libre Office Writer can be used, which is entirely Free and open source. For the non-technical reader, Open Source means it can run on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux (I use Debian Linux personally).
    • Markdown is a way to preserve your writing so that no matter what software or computer you have in the future, you will not lose access to your work. If you were to rely on Microsoft Word, then you would find yourself paying a subscription fee for the rest of your life or being unable to open your .docx files. Even then, there is no guarantee that the file won’t become corrupted or stop working whenever a new version of Microsoft Word is installed. Markdown is just plain text with a few formatting marks, and you will always be able to open it using any text editor you have for any device.

    Writing in Markdown is so easy that I can explain how to use it with an example:


    # Book Title
    
    ## Chapter 1
    
    This is the first paragraph of chapter 1.
    
    This is the second paragraph of chapter 1.
    
    This is the third paragraph of chapter 1.
    
    ## Chapter 2
    
    This is the first paragraph of chapter 2.
    
    This is the second paragraph of chapter 2.
    
    This is the third paragraph of chapter 2.
    

    If you have that text in a program capable of displaying the converted output, it will look something like this:

    basic-book-example.png

    Do you notice how the Book Title is larger than the chapter titles? This automatic sizing works because the single # at the beginning of a line means a level 1 heading. Two of them at the beginning is a level 2 heading. There are 6 levels of headings, from big to small. Defining something as a heading may not seem like much, but it serves two purposes. First, a human reader can know when there is a new chapter or section of a book. Second, if your book is published as an e-book, the software that humans use to read it will automatically know where the headings are and can build an automatic table of contents even if you did not create one. This automatic linking ability means they can click and instantly be taken to the chapter they want to read.

    All you had to do was insert a few # signs at the beginning of a line followed by a space. The rest of the text on that line will look different from the smaller body text. Which exact font families and sizes are used depends on the software you are using, but this means that you can customize it! I will explain more about that later!

    But Markdown is not limited to defining your chapter headings. It can do a lot more!

    For example, images can be displayed. For example, the following line links to an image of a horse on my blog.

    ![square-horse.png](https://chastitywhiterose.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/square-horse.png)

    square-horse.png

    Because this image is hosted somewhere, this horse can be included and displayed in a book, just as can be done on a website with HTML. However, it only works if you are connected to the internet at the time (unless the images are embedded into a book file, as can be done with Pandoc)

    It is also possible to make a clickable link within a book. Note that this only applies to e-books because, in a paperback, everything is paper and ink, not an electronic device.

    For example, the following is a link:

    https://chastitychesschallenge.com/

    But the following is also a link:

    chastitywhiterose.com

    The Markdown code to include the links above is:

    <https://chastitychesschallenge.com/>
    
    [chastitywhiterose.com](https://chastitywhiterose.com/)
    

    Notice that the first one, which is already in URL form, is simply enclosed in greater and less than signs. The second has the URL in parenthesis, but the text that will be displayed is in square brackets. Both of these things work fine, but the second form allows the link text to be whatever you want it to be.

    You can also make text look:

    • italic
    • bold
    • both italic and bold at the same time!

    The Markdown code to do this looks like this:

    You can also make text look:
    
    - *italic*
    - **bold**
    - ***both italic and bold at the same time!***
    

    It all depends on whether you include 1, 2, or 3 * characters surrounding the text you want to modify.

    So far, we have seen that you can define which text is your headings, make clickable links, display images, and even set bold or italics however you want.

    But that is just the beginning of what you can do. I will be sharing with you the tools that I use when writing and converting my Markdown text into different formats for publishing books to Amazon and Draft2Digital.

    My job is to teach you the methods you can use to get your book properly formatted on your computer so that you can either sell it, give it away, or turn it into a website if that is what you wish! I have been writing and publishing books since 2013, and over time, I have become better as a writer but also better as a computer user in general.

    If you are a person who wants to write a book, it is still your job to write it in a way your readers understand and make it worth their time to read. However, if you follow my instructions, your book will look correct, and they will see where chapters begin, your regular, italic, or bold text, and your pictures if you choose to include any.

    This book will contain pictures because I am providing instructions on how to use software to achieve goals for publishing.

    Chapter 1: Writing tools

    There are literally hundreds of tools for writing Markdown than you can imagine! For this book, I will be limiting it to my top 3 favorites!

    All 3 of those apps are useful for their ability to preview the output of what the source Markdown code will look like. For a PC with Windows, Mac, or Linux, Ghostwriter is especially helpful because it works directly with plain text files on your system, just like Notepad does. It also allows a preview, just like Joplin and Simplenote do. For Mobile devices, Joplin and Simplenote are the best.

    Ghostwriter

    I started using Ghostwriter because it works on Linux. However, it works the same on Windows or Mac operating systems. If you are writing a book for publishing, this is the number one that I recommend and is the tool I used to write this whole book. Let me show you why I love it so much by showing you some pictures!

    Dark Mode

    Screenshot-ghostwriter-dark.png

    Light Mode

    Screenshot-ghostwriter-light.png

    Besides the dark and light modes, the program does allow you to define customized themes. I have not personally explored this option because I am quite satisfied with the default dark mode.

    In both of the images above, you see three panels. The middle is the text you are writing. The right is the preview of what it might look like on a website or a book (subject to formatting, which I will cover in a later chapter). The left is a navigation panel that allows you to jump to the specific heading you want. If you are writing a long book, you might want to jump to chapter 9, for example, where you were writing last time, for example.

    Ghostwriter is pretty good. It is not the only program of its type, but it certainly has gotten the job done for several of the books that I have published and republished.

    If you only use Windows and don’t care about Open Source, you might also like Markdown Monster, which is very similar to Ghostwriter.

    Joplin

    The next tool that I recommend is Joplin. If you look at the screenshot below, you will see that it is similar to Ghostwriter. However, Joplin’s file system is separate from the rest of your PC. This system allows you to organize your notes into folders called “notebooks”. They can also be searched to find what you are looking for.

    Screenshot-Joplin-PC.png

    From the perspective of PC, Joplin is about the same in terms of quality as Ghostwriter or Markdown Monster. However, the main reason I recommend it is because it also functions as a mobile app.

    Screenshot-Joplin-iPhone.png

    It is even possible to set up a system for automatically syncing between your PC and phone by using an online server. I actually use a private Nextcloud server to sync my PC, iPhone, and Android phone so that no matter what device I use to take notes on, it will show up on the other devices. However, this ability to customize is more advanced, and you will want to read the Joplin documentation, which is included in the app and on the official Joplin website.

    Another feature that is unique among Markdown editors is that it has the option to attach images from either the PC or Mobile app and then have them displayed in Joplin. When you do this, then that file becomes part of the data that Joplin stores. The attachment feature of Joplin could be especially useful if someone was taking a lot of pictures with their iPhone camera and wanted to write about each of them and make a small book of a portfolio or photo album.

    If you are always on the go, Joplin might be for you. Also, it does not require creating an account unless you need syncing capability. Therefore, if you want a way to organize your notes into folders and don’t have a reliable internet connection on your phone, then Joplin is pretty good as far as mobile apps go.

    If you use a PC and don’t use your phone as a writing tool, you can probably just stick with Ghostwriter, as mentioned in the previous section.

    Simplenote

    Simplenote is another Markdown editor that has desktop and mobile apps. However, it works a little bit differently in that you create an account with your email address, and then you can get a login code sent to your email to sign in.

    If syncing between devices is a primary concern for you, I have to recommend Simplenote because accessing your data on any device where you are signed in is trivial. Simplenote really is simple. It does not have all the fancy features of the other two programs I have recommended above, but because it doesn’t contain much, it is also easy to use without getting lost in the interface.

    Of course, the primary purpose of Simplenote is to write down your notes quickly on the go. Later, when you want to collect them into a book, you will still want to copy and paste the text into Ghostwriter or Joplin on a PC, so you can make use of the exporting features of these to archive and send them to publishers or your friends.

    I use Simplenote all the time whenever I have an idea that I need to write down on my phone and then later finish it on my PC before I post it to my blog or email it to someone. The most recent notes you have written are always at the top, so you can go through them and then do what you need to before deleting them after you no longer need those notes.

    I haven’t included a picture of it because it really isn’t that fancy. It also does not show you the Markdown preview while writing. You have to click a button to see it, but it does have Markdown support. However, to be able to include images in your notes, they have to be stored somewhere on the internet. Therefore, I would recommend storing images on a website where you can link to them. Fun fact: all of the pictures in my Chess book, Chastity’s Chess Chapters, were stored on my WordPress blog about my Chess teaching business.

    Other Editors

    It is not that important that you use one of the 3 programs I have recommended in this chapter. A plain old text editor will do just fine, but you will not have the ability to preview the result.

    You can also use an online Markdown editor.

    The reason I mention WordPress as an online Markdown editor (even though it does a whole lot more) is because it has full support for Markdown via its Markdown block type, which allows you to paste your text into it and preview the result even before you post. In fact, all of my blog posts have been written in Markdown since the beginning of 2025. When making a new post, you can type / and then select the Markdown block from the dropdown menu.

  • Chapter 6: Can someone be Gay and a Christian?

    Many people are told by their Christian friends, family, and church members that being a Christian and being gay are incompatible. This controversy has led many LGBTQIA+ people away from Christianity to seek out other religions or become atheists because they believe they have no choice.

    I know this because I was once in a similar situation. Although being an Asexual Transgender person has allowed me to effortlessly live a life of celibacy, as many religious people say is the only way for an LGBTQIA person to live, it does not allow me to be accepted by most Christians.

    And let’s be honest about one thing. Most non-LGBT people don’t even know the difference between being Transgender and Gay. Who can blame them? After all, we are all suspiciously fabulous.

    And although I am Asexual, many people believe it is just my denial of my homosexuality. But I don’t deny that I have gay moments 1 percent of the time like that one time I bought a loaf of sourdough bread at the Hy-Vee bakery just because the guy who worked there was cute.

    But the main point is I know I will never be accepted by most who call themselves Christians. However, I have come to my understanding with God over time and have learned to conveniently ignore the opinions of people who pretend they know about my “sinful lifestyle” when they don’t know anything about me because they haven’t spent time with me.

    I am not the most qualified to write about all the controversies between an LGBTQIA identity and what the Bible or church tradition says. However, I know some authors that have been a great help to me. I want to recommend 3 different books written by 3 different authors.

    Walking the Bridgeless Canyon: Repairing the Breach Between the Church and the LGBT Community by Kathy Baldock

    Torn: Rescuing the Gospel from the Gays-vs.-Christians Debate by Justin Lee

    God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships by Matthew Vines

    All of these books contain historical context and differences in translation between different Bible versions. Justin Lee and Matthew Vines are both gay men who can speak from personal experience in reconciling their Christian beliefs with their gay reality. Kathy Baldock is not LGBT at all, but she started researching this topic because of her experiences with her gay friends.

    These books have been helpful to me, but before I found books like this to offer me a new perspective, I had a different way of handling the situation. Instead of seeing my identity as a sin and rebellion against God’s design, I think of the example of a butterfly. The following is a post I wrote about it.

    The Meaning of the Butterfly Hairclip

    Chastity stood before the mirror. She was fully ready for work. She had just put her hair in a ponytail using the butterfly hair clip she bought at Walmart, where she worked.

    She took a good look and realized how much she loved the way she looked. The sight of her always inspired people to ask her whether she was a boy or a girl. The truth that Honesty the Unicorn had given her was that it was complicated.

    And it is. Chastity did believe that there were two genders, but she knew that she was both of them. Just as the chessboard is half black and half white, so was she more than one thing. Her brother-in-law joked about how she was the best of both worlds. She was both and yet unmistakably felt that a female identity suited her better.

    After all, Chastity is known as a girl’s name. Of course, it was assumed that if someone vowed celibacy, it had to be a female. So, she knew she was a female Vegan Virgin.

    But if a man can also take the same vow. He would be Mister Chastity. It was true that Chandler and his experience would always be a part of Chastity.

    But of course, Chandler had transformed into Chastity just like a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. The symbolism of the transformation of the caterpillar is what her hair clip truly meant.

    People say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Chastity now knew this to be the truth. She had thousands of words to say. But humans say a lot of things that make no sense. Some say that God does not make mistakes. To those people, Chastity often joked that they would think differently if they ever looked in the mirror.

    But now, Chastity was standing in front of the mirror. She did not see a mistake at all. She was a hybrid of a man and a woman. Her mother was a writer and poet. Her father was a chess player and kept huge amounts of data on computers about his genealogy.

    Chastity stored gigabytes of data of a very different type. Chastity stored words and pictures on her computer and cell phone. Sometimes, she even used artificial intelligence to turn her words into songs. She wasn’t a musician like her mother was, but she definitely could sing.

    Chastity was the hybrid of her parents, but she was more than that. She had both the body and soul of a genderfuck, although she does not fuck anyone of any gender. Because she is Chastity White Rose, the Vegan Virgin, in this, God did not make a mistake.

    Some said that Chastity was sinning by transitioning to a new name and female identity because God had intended for Chastity to remain a man. But no one would tell a butterfly that it was wrong to transform because that was exactly how God planned it. Who are these humans who claim to know what God had intended for Chastity? She was like a butterfly, and when she wore her hair clip, only those who knew this secret meaning could understand how beautiful it was. Chastity finally had her wings.

  • How The Chandler Caterpillar Evolved into a Chastity Butterfly

    Chastity’s Journey into a career in writing began in 2013 when she published a book titled “Confessions of a Confused Virgin”. This book project was intended to teach Chastity about the process of self-publishing a book so that she could help her mother, Judena Klebs, publish the books she had written.

    However, the people on Facebook enjoyed Chastity’s different points of view on dating, marriage, and sex. After that, Chastity started blogging on a WordPress blog about whatever she had on her mind at the time. Eventually, these small posts became content for future books she would publish.

    The majority of her writing was a series of conversations she had with a unicorn in a dream. The series remains forever published as “Chandler’s Honesty” because Chandler is her legal name even though she is known by her preferred name of Chastity White Rose. Unlike most transgender people, Chastity does not consider Chandler to be a “dead name” but instead a name of historical importance as she evolves from a caterpillar to a butterfly and yet remains the same person.

    Chastity is a simple person who prefers playing Tetris or Chess much more than writing. However, she began a project in Pride month of 2025 with a focus on educating the public about the LGBTQIA+ community that is different than the hype you would hear from mainstream media.

    Chastity graduated with a Creative Writing Degree in July of 2025 after attending Full Sail University as an online student while working full-time at Walmart in Lee’s Summit, Missouri.

    Her best paperback books and ebooks can be purchased from Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play books, and many others. These works cover a range of topics, such as opinions on politics or religion, her Journey as an Asexual Transgender woman (Chandler’s Honesty), and even a 100-page book about the board game of Chess (Chastity’s Chess Chapters).

    But beyond writing books and blog posts, Chastity is offering services to help others write and publish their books, blogs, and websites. Those who have a story to tell but who may not be as technologically inclined may benefit from her experience using Kindle Direct Publishing, Draft2Digital, WordPress, and writing content with Markdown and HTML.

    Chastity writes on two main websites that she pays to keep free of ads and distractions.
