| May 10, 2010 | Reply

It’s Monday again! And that means we roll out a brand new issue of TGForum. Even though it’s now the 21st century and electronic publishing on the Web means anything we publish hangs around forever (unless JoAnn forgets to pay the bill for the server space) we tend to still relate to the world in […]

Drag Drag?

The rise of “trans” in public awareness has lead to confusion about what “trans” is all about. With so many variations of gender variation it’s getting to the point where almost every niche identity is finding expression. People can’t tell the difference anymore and they throw around words like “transvestite” and “transsexual” or “transgender” and […]

Monday! Again!

Here in the Mid-Atlantic states it seems as if we’re under some sort of snow curse. It’s our own fault, we got used to going through a winter with maybe a few inches of snow that melted off in a few days. Now we have felt the full wrath of two big snow storms in […]

You need a makeover because from time to time we all fall into a rut. And the dirt and scratches do nothing for us. Seriously, I’ve been doing this crossdressing thing for quite some time and in years gone by I’ve done the over-the-top look for drag events or clubbing in NYC but for the […]

It’s The TGF Monday Experience

Hi TGFers! The Monday Edition was sounding a bit drab so I decided to rebrand this little digest of what we’ve got for you this Monday as the TGF Monday Experience. It kind of fits with the hyperbole that’s being applied to everything in the 21st century. Not just an “edition” but an “experience.” Ooooohhhh. […]
