Hello one and all. Get comfortable with your morning coffee, fuzzy slippers and Monday Edition of TGF. Before I provide a concise summary of the contents of today’s edition I have to ask for your help. Over the past week we have been moving the TGF to different servers and upgrading parts of our software. […]
As I said in the Monday Morning Digest things have been moving around on TGF and getting upgraded. One of the upgrades was to our blog software program and while I was messing about with it, learning its new features, I realized that I had made a mistake when I posted some fun articles earlier […]
Hey TGF members! It’s that time again — time for a new edition of the best darned TG mag on the Web. Before we leap into it this week I have to share a photo that I found in the New York Times. It’s from a slide show of footwear in Manhattan. Times staffer Bill […]
A few weeks ago I ran into a former TGF writer, Linda Jensen, at one of my TG parties in suburban Philly. She had stopped contributing to TGF a few years back and asked me if I needed submissions. Being the kind of girl I am I told her I always need submission. Then we […]
Can you believe it? It’s December already. Time flies when you’ve got your TGForum to read every week. What’s up this edition? This Week in Transgenderism has been lovingly assembled by Ronnie Rho and brings you stories featuring TGs from around the world. She’s got everything from the people protesting TG Mayor Stu Rasmussen being […]
A few months ago we reported on a film called Catalina that featured a crossdressing super hero as the title character. As far as we can determine the film has been completed but hasn’t found distribution so we’ll just have to wait to see it. In the meantime the website Funny or Die has scooped […]
Well my little dim sum, it’s another Monday and here, just like always, is the Monday Edition of TGForum. This week we wrap up the adventures of 14th century transman bad boy Catalina de Erauso. You’ll never guess how it ends. Another stabbing? Go ahead, read TG History and find out. This Week in Transgenderism […]
Welcome to the November 17, 2008 edition of TGForum! Today we bring you This Week In Transgenderism, as always, featuring news from down the block, up the street and around the world that features transgendered people. This week Ronnie Rho has given herself writer’s cramp, monitor eyeball and Google wrist while compiling a vast array […]
It’s the first post election Monday and Barack Obama has been our President Elect since November 4th. I can feel the change in the air. Or is that just humidity? While some believe that now the Federal government will take away our guns (they’ll never find my Derringer!) and that the national anthem will be […]
Back in October I issued the Sarah Palin Halloween Costume Challenge and the response in the weeks since then has been… underwhelming. Perhaps, despite her apparent popularity with certain elements of the populace and the massive amount of media attention she received, people just weren’t that into her. At the Halloween events I attended there […]
ï¾ ï¾ The Story So Far: The insurance company has offered a settlement for Sandy’s death, enough for Jessica’s education…and Terri’s sexual reassignment surgery! More good luck: Terri has found a new friend — Christine Riordan, a trainee sales associate at the department store. Their friendship deepens as they learn more about each other. Chris is invited […]
What a week! It’s been enough to wear a crossdresser down. First off there was Halloween and The Henry David Halloween Ball. It was Henry’s 40th so I had to go. For the first time in my history of attending the Ball I wore a commercially available costume and went as a fairy. (Fairy photo […]
Hi everyone! Today we bring you, as always, Ronnie Rho’s TWIT Notes. It was a slow TG news week but Ronnie raked up a passel o’ stories for you. Everything from evidence that transexuality is genetic, to what’s happened to the “Leave Britney alone” kid, to the story of Cindy the Vietnamese TS (she’s hot) […]
Years ago, in an earlier century, I wrote a regular column for TGF as The Diva of Dish. I was looking through some of my old stuff and found this column on bargain shopping. Although some of the stores mentioned are no longer in business and the prices of the bargains may be a bit […]
Back in June we did a feature called Who’s That Lady? which consisted of photos of male actors and celebrities in drag. The fun was in trying to figure out who was behind the makeup and under the wig before you clicked on the photo to read the answer. We’re bringing it back with a […]
Hi Everyone! Welcome to the Monday Edition of TGForum. We’re one story short today and it’s all my fault. Ronnie Rho had a piece on her Southern Comfort experience and I managed to scramble its electrons and lose it in cyberspace. If Ronnie will forgive me, and if she feels like reconstructing it, I’ll add […]
Hi Everyone! I hope we are all doing well and have not lost all of our money in the erratic stock market? Since I have no savings or investments, being a dedicated “starving artist” it’s not bothering me too much. No doubt they’ll get it all sorted out soon and we can go back to […]
What a jam packed Monday Edition we have today. I thought that it was going to be a bit light since some of my writers were having writer’s block problems but everyone came through and we’ve even got Lexy Tranner. First up is TWIT Notes. It’s got TGs in the news from around the world. […]
Hey loyal readers, it’s time for the Monday Edition of TGForum. Today’s issue is jam packed! First off we bring you, as always, This Week In Transgenderism. Assembled by News Editor Ronnie Rho TWIT brings you hard hitting coverage of TGs in the news. This week she’s got links to everything from the TG cast […]
A few short years ago if someone produced a television commercial featuring a TG theme or TG characters most of us wouldn’t get to see it since it ran in Italy or England or on a channel we didn’t get. Now, thanks to the innovation of YouTube ads featuring transgender people and themes from all […]
Sarah Palin. Love her, hate her, not care one way or another about her, you have to love that she made her appearance on the national stage just in time for Halloween. Crossdressers everywhere have been yearning for another easily impersonated female icon and now we’ve got her. It seems inevitable that among many TGs […]
Hey ho my TGF chums! Now there’s a word you don’t hear that often. Not since the 1950s editions of the Hardy Boys, at least. But that’s all behind us now and it’s a Monday in the 21st century. I’ll let my household robot Rosie (she’s just a dream at getting all the chores done) […]
In the past decade or two those seeking gender reassignment surgery most often had to travel to strange, remote, or exotic places for their procedures. Tales of trips to Montreal, Vancouver, Trinidad (Colorado, not the island nation that brought us the steel drum and Calypso) and Thailand abound. Now there is a new exotic sounding […]
It’s that time again! Monday morning-new-edition-of-TGF-time. First up is the news of the TG world column, TWIT Notes. Today we have short TWIT but Ronnie Rho will be adding some more stories early this week. Then we bring you a new column from a therapist named Dr. Maureen Osborne. Dr. Osborne introduces herself today and […]
