An item in last week’s TWIT Notes caught my eye. Ronnie had it billed as MSNBC having a video on a “bombshell who happens also to be FtM.” As TWIT Notes blurbs are supposed to do the item piqued my interest. A “bombshell” who’s “FtM”? I had to know more. I visited the link and […]

I call it a shopping adventure since I was shopping (again!) and there was an incident which I think you’ll find amusing. And no, it doesn’t have anything to do with the bargains I may or may not have found that day (all the great deals are beginning to blur) but with what happened behind […]

Turkish author Mehmet Murat Somer has a book due for American release in September titled The Prophet Murders, A Hop-Çiki-Yaya Thriller. The most interesting part of this title, for us, is the Hop-Çiki-Yaya* part. (It’s pronounced Hope Cheeky Ya Ya.) Somer uses the term to indicate that his novel is set in the transvestite/gay community […]
My fella and I went to see a screening in the 2008 Philadelphia International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival this past week. (The Festival runs through tomorrow.) I was attracted by the title, Girls Will Be Girls Shorts and the fact that Scott Thompson former member of Kids In The Hall was guest starring — […]
Each summer many crossdressers are faced with a dilemma. We love to dress and act like women — sexy women. That means we really love to shave our legs (and whatever other body parts we possess that may exhibit manly, hirsute tendencies) in order to be more like our female role models. If you look […]
If you’ve been living under a rock that’s not wired for cable you may not have seen some shows from the past year that feature TGs. If that’s the case you may want to take advantage of your Internet connection and the Apple software known as iTunes. Here are two of the trans-centric shows that […]
It had to happen. With multiple varieties of super heroes running around (some at light speed) exhibiting powers like telekinesis, X-ray vision, invulnerability, super speed and the ability to fly, eventually some garden variety crossdresser was going to get bitten by a radioactive Black Widow spider, or some other feminine type bug, and develop super […]
The Democratic Party has released their 2008 PRIDE Proclamation. Read the text of the Proclamation in their news release. And yes, they included “transgender Americans” in the wording.
Many CDs will work very hard on achieving “The Look” that they want to represent their femme selves. They will buy expensive dresses, invest in the necessary foundation garments to make their figures “just right” (some will even go so far as to exercise!) and they will do or spend what ever they have to […]
TGF has collected numerous photos of famous, or semi-famous, men dressed as women over the years. Who’da thunk? Here we present ten of them for your entertainment and edification. Step right up and take a look as TGForum asks, who’s that lady?

As many may remember from my Diva of Dish days here at TGF I am in showbiz. I work on films and television shows in the Philadelphia/New York area and I was just working as a background actor (that’s an extra) on a film in Philly. While I was on the set in downtown Philadelphia […]

We live in a wild and weird time. Men are wearing dresses, guys (well FtMs) are getting pregnant and shaking up the Oprah audience, and Madonna is going to be 50 this year. That’ll stop ya in your tracks. It seems like just yesterday we were dancing to Material Girl, how could Maddy be “a […]
After our TWIT column went to press we found these other pieces of useful information laying amidst the scattered press releases, store fliers and sale coupons that we call a desk. We’ve scrapped them together and present them here. Info on Lobby Days, and how to participate in a creative photography project make up this […]
The Story So Far (TGF subscribers can read earlier installments): Alan has assumed the almost full-time identity of Theresa “Terri†Sayers, single mother.

There are times when I’m so stunned by the inhumanity of my fellow humans that I have to rouse myself and speak. We have enough of a negative, criminal nature happening on planet Earth every day (Africa and Kosovo are just two examples) that if we weren’t able to tune it out and distance it […]
A TGF member asks, “Why can’t we get some respect from the shopping channels?” And she asks us to take a survey of our members on the topic. So, here we present her plea and invite you to let her know how you feel about the shopping channels feeling “free to ridicule crossdressers.” Read and […]
