Can you believe it? We’re halfway through the month of September! Time to switch the summer wardrobe for the fall wardrobe, get out the boots and start thinking about winter coats.

Actually we’re here every Monday in cyberspace bringing you exciting and informative new content from the world of transgenderism. To that end we begin with The Week In Transgenderism, our weekly condensation of all the TG news from around the world. This week learn what Eddie Izzard and Coco Peru are up to. Find out […]
We never stop working here in the posh 57th floor offices of TGForum to bring you the finest in TG news and entertainment. That’s why even though it’s Labor Day and most people are throwing another shrimp on the barbie (or slipping a new outfit onto a Barbie doll) we are hard at work to […]
Here on the east coast it’s been a tough week. We started out with a 5.8 magnitude earthquake that shook our TGF Towers office building like a wet dog. Then, just when we were getting the knick knacks picked up and put back on the shelf we had to batten down the hatches for hurricane […]
On August 21st David de Alba and Paul Cummings were together again on stage in Las Vegas to talk about their years at Finocchio’s, receive their official inductions into the TGF Gallery of Greats and sing a few of the old songs. We present photos from that event.
Sure, it’s a line from an ancient game show but it still serves the purpose — to let you know there’s new content today on TGForum! We begin with our signature distillation of the transgender news that made headlines last week — The Week In Transgenderism. This week we’ve got links to an interview with […]
Transgender people on Medicare need to be aware that while sex reassignment surgery is not paid for under Medicare medically necessary hormones are covered. Now, to help you know what’s covered NCTE has a guide for that.

Wedding bells where ringing in Cuba this past weekend on Fidel Castro’s 85th birthday. A Cuban transsexual and her gay activist boyfriend got married in what the media are calling a “gay wedding.” Really? Seems like a man woman wedding to us. View the video coverage!
It’s time for new content on your old buddy TGForum! We begin with The Week In Transgenderism. I’ve dug up stories about the transgender actress whose career is taking off after her debut film gets many good reviews. There’s links to news on Hedda Lettuce’s diet, slut walks gaining momentum, a TG couples “impossible” pregnancy, […]
The world famous female impersonation venue Finocchio’s in San Francisco closed in 1999. Now two of the performers who helped make it the premier spot for high quality drag performance, Lavern Cummings and David de Alba, are appearing live in Las Vegas.
Hi loyal readers! Today is the first of August already and we’re sweltering here on the east coast. Not as bad as last week but still way too warm for pantyhose and a hot wig. Of course that won’t stop me. That’s why they make cars with air conditioning. Today we begin with our long […]
Once again it’s a new content addition to TGForum. Today we bring you The Week In Transgenderism featuring the stories about transgender people that you want and need. The stories! Not the TGs. This week we learn that Nikki Araguz, who should probably just have a cot at the courthouse, is back again appealing the […]
The TSA has changed their body imaging software. They say it’s less intrusive. While it may be less intrusive is it still a danger to transgender people? The National Center for Transgender Equality weighs in on the issue.
Good day everyone! Here on the east coast another heat wave has moved in. The only thing to do is slip into something skimpy and romp in the sprinkler on your lawn, or, if that will get you in trouble with the neighbors, turn up the air conditioning (which oddly results in a colder house […]
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So, it seems, is intent. A blogger at Queerty.com has made it known that in his opinion the forthcoming Adam Sandler film Jack and Jill is insulting to TGs since Sandler plays the sister role in drag. Watch the trailer for the film and see what you think.
It’s another Monday and as we do every Monday, rain or shine, holiday or normal day, we bring you new content on TGForum. We start with our weekly distillation of all the TG news from all over the world, a little thing we call The Week In Transgenderism. In this TWIT we bring you stories […]
It was only a few hundred years ago that we cast off the yoke of oppression and declared our independence from the British Empire. Well, when I say “we” I don’t mean me personally. My ancestors were still hanging around The Old Country back then (and not the Old Country Buffet, either). But “we” the […]
In the last chapter of The New Girl people were longing for something new, a different experience, and in one case a different gender. In this chapter The Spirit decides to give people what they want, and may what they deserve. It’s Chapter 3 of The New Girl.
Now the LGBT citizens of New York state can get married! It’s a big breakthrough for LGB people but what’s it do for us Ts? I’m guessing that it will have benefits that I just can’t think of at the moment. After wrestling the TGF new content into shape all night my brain can only […]
It’s that time again, time for the content dumper to add loads of new content to TGForum! We do it every Monday and just because it was Father’s Day yesterday we didn’t stop working. I took a brief break to call dad and ask him if he got the high heels I sent as a […]
JUNE 17, 2011, Washington, DC — Today, UN Human Rights Council issued a resolution that, for the first time, exclusively affirms the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people around the world. In light of increasing acts of violence and discrimination against LGBT people, the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) welcomes […]
I don’t know about you but summer has rushed in at high speed and I haven’t had time to do the necessary skin prep and waxing that bare legs and arms require. Crossdressing in the cooler months is no big deal but exposing more skin means more time spent getting ready to show off that […]
In a press release Nikki Araguz’s attorneys vow to appeal the decision against her by the 329th Judicial District Court in Wharton County, Texas.
TGForum has gone social network on you! Got your attention? No, we haven’t turned into Facebook, but I sent a note out in mid week with information on a new feature that allows TGF readers to network like you do on Facebook and MySpace with a tool we call TGFriends. Several of our readers have […]
