  • Introduction for Walking the Rainbow Bridge

    This book is a little bit different from all my other books. My chosen profession is Technical Writer. I consider my Chess book, Chastity’s Chess Chapters, to be my best example of Technical Writing because it is an instructional guide full of the tiny nerdy details of playing Chess and how to improve at it. Writing a book like that is easy because there are no negative emotions I have about playing a game.

    The topics of LGBTQIA rights and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, however, are very emotional. I try to remain purely factual, but at the same time, this is a very difficult topic to write about without crying. Many of my people have been murdered or driven to suicide because of the bullying they experience due to their identity.

    What is even worse is that my people are kept in a constant state of poverty because people can be fired from their jobs just for being gay, transgender, or not looking the way they are expected to look. Very few of us are hired for jobs in the first place.

    In fact, because of how hard it is for us to obtain employment, many people enter the “Sex Work” industry because it is the only way to survive. This problem creates a never-ending cycle of never being hired because the hiring managers only remember the time they masturbated to you on pornhub and see you as a pure sex object.

    Unfortunately, the Rainbow people are kept poor or are forced to hide in the closet who they really are. The one rule that most of us follow is that if you know someone is gay, transgender, etc, never be the one to tell others about them. Each person must come out when they are ready, and it is safe to do so. Being revealed too soon can likely result in them being murdered or losing their jobs, family, and friends at the worst time.

    My goal is to help common people understand LGBTQIA+ individuals while also helping our community become better communicators so that we can continue to fight for true Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in all areas of society. I take on this task even though I would much rather be writing a book about how to play a video game instead right now. For many of my people, these are difficult times, and it is a matter of life and death that I write about this rather than my other projects, which are more fun.

    This book is therefore considered content writing because rather than being instructions for how to play a game or use specific software, the goal is to help people understand the differences between people so that those who fall outside the majority can be included and treated as equals, especially in the workplace.

  • Preface for Walking the Rainbow Bridge

    The year is 2025. Many strange things have happened this year. This year is a time of economic collapse, with rising unemployment rates and a lack of ability to communicate or listen. Many of my people have committed suicide this past year in response to the hatred they have received.

    You may wonder what it is I am talking about. I am speaking primarily about the LGBTQIA+ community and the violence and discrimination against them. In many places, it is possible to be killed for not appearing as the gender someone wants you to look or talk like. It is also possible that your family will disown you and kick you out of the house before you have graduated high school because they found out that you are attracted to someone of the same sex rather than the opposite sex.

    Transgender and gay people are not the only ones who face additional challenges. Racism also appears to be increasing or, at the very least, becoming more apparent. With the growing number of companies ending their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies, people on Facebook, Reddit, Quora, and LinkedIn are asking questions about what it means.

    • Will they be fired because they are black?
    • Will they be deported to their country of origin even if they have legally immigrated to the United States?
    • Will the marriages of millions of gay, bisexual, or transgender people be no longer considered legal?

    And perhaps more importantly, how can anyone afford to live when they are losing their jobs, prices are rising, and they cannot get new jobs because the Artificial Intelligence overlords have decided their resume is not good enough to pass to a real human to read it?

    I know these thoughts may seem unrelated, but they have been on my mind lately, based on real conversations I have heard and read, both online and from coworkers at Walmart.

    These questions deserve answers, but it will not happen unless we have difficult conversations. Allow me to begin by telling you what I stand for. Look at this picture of the Progress Flag.

    progress-flag_1920x1080.png

    The Progress Flag is one of the most important symbols to me personally. I consider it the ultimate symbol of Diversity. The different colors and shapes represent different groups of people. One of the key interesting things is that the black and brown stripes represent “people of color”, such as those with darker skin colors.

    Skin color and/or race does not have much to do with being gay, transgender, or intersex, but what we all have in common is that our differences have been used as an excuse to exclude us from employment, voting, restrooms, marriage, and even life itself when we are murdered or sent to prison for life without having committed a crime.

    "I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime" - Queen

    What is the solution to the hatred, misunderstanding, and violence we face? I do not have all the answers, but I want to contribute my part in beginning the conversations to educate each other on our different experiences. We are stronger together because of our Diversity.

    What we have in our society is a great divide. We seem to be on two sides of the Grand Canyon. I was thinking to myself that what we need is a bridge. And then it just so happened that I came across an article where hundreds of people lit up a bridge in rainbow colors using only flashlights.

    rainbow-bridge.

    It was at that moment that I remembered a conversation I had in a dream with Honesty the Unicorn about how a rainbow is created.

    H: Like others before you, you will speak and write about the things you have learned. In fact, even now you are typing our conversations on your computer as we speak. You can tell others what you have learned. Though others will probably call you insane or a liar, the evidence speaks for itself.

    You have the power of perseverance. If you keep on speaking, you will be heard. If you keep on seeking the truth you will find it. For he who keeps asking questions will receive the answers. He who keeps seeking will find them sooner or later, and he who knocks on enough doors will find one answered eventually. You don’t know how to give up. You have too much stallion pride for that.

    C: You’re right, Honesty. I don’t know how to give up. But where will I go? How do I know where I will be listened to and where I will find the answers?

    H: Everywhere! Go into all the world. Ask every question, knock on every door, and search everywhere that you have a chance to find the answers. Find those who do not stop you or shame you for singing, dancing, or crying. Do you see that rainbow in the sky, Chastity?

    C: Yes, how long has that been there?

    H: Since the moment we first met. In the human world, a rainbow is created when white light is reflected off of water droplets. In Animal Sanctuary, the Light of Truth reflects off the tears of those with a pure heart. By this you shall know that wherever and whenever you see a rainbow, you will know a unicorn is not very far away. For the truth is revealed in tears without a single word said. This is my promise to you, Chastity. You came here because of your tears, and you will return again, as will all those who are honest enough to cry the tears of joy and of pain. For it is as I spoke long ago, blessed are the Pure in Heart, for they shall see God.

    I ask my fellow Rainbow people to metaphorically walk the Rainbow Bridge this Pride Month of 2025 as we write, speak, and listen to what our different voices have to say.

    As for me, I will remember the Promise of the Rainbow as I was told by Honesty the Unicorn. I won’t give up, and neither should you. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to assist you. I am just a poor transgender writer and Chess player, but I offer my skills and knowledge of computer software to anyone who has a story to tell.

  • Chastity’s Introduction for Publishing and Distribution Class

    1. What’s your name? (And pronouns?)

    Name: Chastity White Rose, formerly Chandler Isaac Klebs. Pronouns: Her/she because I am as sweet as chocolate.

    2. Where are you from?

    Lee’s Summit, Missouri, is my hometown because I have spent the longest time here.

    3. What did you come to Full Sail to learn to write? (Film, TV, Games, Comics, or Books)

    I have already published books, but I wanted to become a better quality writer and learn more about the industry of publishing books. I hope to continue writing my books and help others publish theirs, even if they don’t know how to use a computer. I can do the technical heavy lifting through what I have learned in my Creative Writing program and my self-motivated learning.

    4. What genres do you primarily write?

    I have been primarily concerned with writing information to educate people in an entertaining way. My most recent work, Chastity’s Chess Chapters, is a Chess book designed to teach people all the rules but also give them the tools to improve at playing Chess. I also have written a series of books, Chandler’s Honesty, containing my conversations with a unicorn in my dreams.

    5. What is your long-term career goal?

    Ideally, I would like to work for a publishing company where I am working with others on getting their books published and formatted the right way. Until then, I have a fairly stable job at Walmart to make a living since I have not had any success at getting my books to sell. I know that being a novelist is not a reliable source of income and that most people will need to work boring jobs in order to survive. Personally, this doesn’t bother me too much because I prefer my writing to be separate from concerns about money. Money and Honesty rarely work well together. I would hate to feel pressured to write my work in a way that is censored by what will sell rather than what is true.

  • Chastity’s Chess Challenge November Newsletter

    I had set myself a goal to make at least one post a month about how my business is going. For those who haven’t read my first post in October, I set myself on the path to be a Chess Coach. It is very clear that I have a lot of information to share about the game of Chess and I am gradually improving as a player and as a writer. In this month’s post, I would like to use some inspiration from my mother, Judena Klebs, who asked me what it is about the game of Chess that I like so much. For this reason, I have compiled a short list of the features that make Chess, as well as many variants like Shogi or Xiangqi, unique from other games.

    1. There is no chance or randomness based on dice, coin flip, spinning wheel, or random number generator.

    Because Chess is only based on the decisions of the players, no external elements are used. Can you imagine if Chess was like Pokemon or Final Fantasy, where a piece might capture another piece but only if dice were rolled (like the game of Risk)? Can you imagine if the king was checkmated if a coin was flipped and landed on heads? Or what if random numbers were assigned and decided where a piece moves to instead of the players deciding it? These things would ruin Chess, and people would stop playing. In fact, their presence in other games is actually disgusting, in my opinion, because then games are about getting lucky instead of winning based on skill.

    2. Planning is possible

    Because of the lack of random chance, as mentioned before, it is possible to plan a strategy or a plan A for my next move. Then, if, during my opponent’s turn, they make a move that ruins what I was going to do. I can make a plan B in case of this and repeat this process so that no matter what move they make, I have something ready to go. I like to plan and strategize instead of just doing what I feel like in the moment.

    3. Chess is for everyone of every race, gender, financial status, and age.

    Any person who can see the board and pieces can place Chess. It doesn’t really matter what you look like or how old you are. It’s also a game where men and women are completely equal because it is a sport of the mind instead of physical strength.

    Some people believe that men are smarter than women at Chess. I have actually listened to different people’s opinions on this, and it is worth mentioning because it’s a persistent myth that actually motivated me to get back into the game of Chess. Part of the reason for people believing this false statement is the presence of more men who are titled players traveling the world and winning tournaments. But then elements such as how much money they have to travel or whether women are allowed to participate in certain countries become a factor. There is also the problem of sexual harassment, and women are in physical danger in many places of the world.

    But you don’t have to have a lot of money to play Chess for fun with your friends and family. In fact, you can play Chess online with random strangers if you have a computer or a cell phone and an internet connection. The fact is that Chess is a game where sexism, racism, homophobia, and transphobia have no place. It’s for that reason that in my AI songs about Chess, I often mention the equality between all people.

    Those are the 3 main reasons I believe Chess is set apart from other board, card, and video games. Chess is something that is more accessible and uses the mind in a way other games don’t.

  • Chastity’s Ultimate Queen’s Gambit Study

    Chastity’s Ultimate Queen’s Gambit Study

    (this is a work in progress and this is my favorite opening for white. Second is the London System)

    I want to make a complete study of the Queen’s Gambit Chess Opening (not the Netflix series named after it, which I have not seen). I love playing this opening but I have never really analyzed it as much as I should. I want to specialize in this opening when I am playing white. I am collecting my notes on this topic when I find the time. Because lichess stores every game I have ever played, I can go back to every time I played this opening and find out what went right or wrong. I can then analyze my own losses and find out in hindsight what I SHOULD have done in that game. This could potentially help me the next time.

    I am quite busy with Walmart and school, but I plan to update this post as I play more games and have more data. Also, I am still trying to figure out my favorite opening for black. I like the Scandinavian most but am exploring other options too.

    The Queen’s Gambit is not only an extremely cool sounding name for a Chess opening, it is also highly effective if played correctly. Almost everyone knows the position of the Queen’s Gambit.

    1. d4 d5 2. c4

    The Queen’s Gambit

    The central idea here is that white wants black to take the pawn. If black does capture the pawn, the position is called Queen’s Gambit Accepted. If it declines by playing e6, it is called the Queen’s Gambit Declined. But really, any other move would still qualify as declining the gambit. However, e6 is the best move for black in this position. I will explain my reasoning for this later. If they accept it, then white must play e4 for the best possible move. GothamChess recommends this and I agree with his reasoning.

    1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4

    Queen’s Gambit Accepted

    There are two really good things to do if your opponent does take the pawn on c4. The option I recommend is pawn to e4. This leads to what is called the Queen’s Gambit Accepted: Saduleto Variation.

    1. d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4 3. e4

    Queen’s Gambit Accepted: Saduleto Variation

    In this position white is already at an advantage because they have moved both center pawns forward two squares and can capture back the c4 pawn. If white plays reasonably well from here, the win is almost guaranteed.

    1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6

    Queen’s Gambit Declined

    Black has declined the gambit and now white must make a different plan. White should NOT capture the pawn on d5 because then the e6 pawn will capture back and allow both of black’s bishops free movement for the rest of the game. Instead, there are two really good moves white can do. My favorite is to move the knight to c3 to block a potential check by black’s bishop.

    By playing e6,

    1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6

    Slav Defence

    1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. Qa4+

    Chastity’s Counter Check Trap

    In this position, black’s dark squared bishop pins the white’s knight against the king. White moves queen to a4 and delivers check first. The best move for black in this position is to move the knight to c6 because it is literally the only move to not lose the bishop. If black plays any other move, white kills the bishop next turn and is already winning. But even if they do play Nc6, white can still attack the bishop with pawn to a3. White is in a good position. The only sad part is that black can kill the white knight but we can still capture back with bxc3. This means the pawn also defends the d4 pawn which is great because the queen no longer defends it. Being in a good position makes it worth the loss of the knight in this specific case.

    1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. Qa4+ Nc6 5. a3 Bxc3+ 6. bxc3

    Notes on this position will be added later.

    GothamChess has some good videos on the Queen’s Gambit and I have learned a lot by watching them multiple times to drill it into my memory.
