Little did the plane load of laughing and smiling TG ladies know that when they boarded Flight 72 for a good time in LadyLike Land—the flight would end in disaster! Flight 72 would disappear from the radar screens without a trace and they would become—lost! But seriously, LadyLike’s regular feature Mirror-Mirror was made up of […]
In the February 11th edition of TGF our blogger Corinne Scott reviewed a work of TG fiction. The review was the result of Corinne’s lamentation in a prior blog that no TG fiction was really good writing; the TG elements tend to get in the way of the story in many cases. The novel she […]
Sarah’s post on legwear wasn’t all there when I posted it very early this morning. (Perhaps that’s because I wasn’t all there.) In any event, the missing portions have been reattached and the full post is now available with all of her leg tips intact. If you’ve read it already please go back to read […]
It’s Valentine’s Day and and we want all TGF members to be our Valentines!
Dear TGF, I joined the TGForum about a month ago and seeing all the wonderful individuals made me think of something that happened in my life years ago: We all have had moments in our lives were a decision we made changed our entire life. I had one of those moments while I was in […]
Miss Lynda Frank, who is 78 herself, is currently conducting a study on what happens to us “gender variant†people when we start getting old. (And we’re all going in that direction, ladies.) “By soliciting a large number of stories from as many people as possible we may be able to figure out what’s in […]
TGF member Regina Leigh was reading the January 21st TWIT Notes and found that the article by Richard Rosendall in Bay Windows of New England (which criticized Meredith Bacon’s criticism of HRC for their decision on ENDA) so provocative that she was moved to send Mister Rosendall an email. Since she copied us on it […]
One of the most prestigious of all things TG for many years gone by was to be picked as a LadyLike Profile girl. Over the years many ladies told their stories to LadyLike and we shared them with the readers. Since the untimely demise of LadyLike magazine we have begun to present some of the […]
This is a LadyLike magazine bonus! Since the articles and features for LL 72 where all done when CDS ceased publication that content is available for TGF readers. So, without any further ado here is Vicky Vogue’s Current Queen interview with New York City performer Simply Edie. Simply Edie is the moniker of a queen […]
The Williams-Nichols Archive and Library for GLBT Studies at the University of Louisville is one of the largest collections of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender materials in the country. Located in the Special Collections division of Ekstrom Library on the university’s main campus just south of downtown, it’s open to students, professors, researchers, as well […]
January 7, 2008 Today, the New Jersey General Assembly passed A4591/S2975 by a large majority of 65-10. This follows action last week in the state Senate where the bill passed unanimously 35-0. The law that passed will now go to Governor Corzine’s desk for his expected signature.
Michelle Moore has been writing about transgender history for many moons. She started doing bits on our history for the Renaissance newsletter and then, when that publication became the magazine, Transgender Community News, she expanded her little items into long articles. She dug out facts about transgendered individuals who were out there making an impact […]
Here we are at the end of 2007. Most publications feel that the end of a year is the perfect time to do a recap of that year. In keeping with the tradition we present a look back at TGF in 2007. At the beginning of the year TGF was in disarray. Content was getting […]
In light of the recent developments concerning LadyLike it’s more important than ever that we get your input on how we’re doing at TGF. If you haven’t done so already please visit the TG Forum Satisfaction Survey and give us your two cents. You can find the Survey page by clicking here. Thanks!
A few months back I asked why we never get many people making comments on the articles/stories/features/blogs. One problem was the difficulty of making a comment. You had to register to comment and even if you we already logged in to TGF you still had to log in again before you could share your opinion […]
You’ve waited with bated (or maybe even baited) breath to view the TGF Halloween 2007 Pictorial and now, after days of waiting, it’s ready to be revealed. What sights to thrill and tantalize await for but the single click of a mouse? Squeeze your rodent, if you dare, and behold the Halloween beauties of 2007.
Hi Everyone! I imagine some of you have been out and about in your Halloween costumes for parties and costume parades already since Halloween falls in the middle of the week. There may even be more Halloween themed parties and club nights next weekend. So, if you’ve already had your costume preserved via the wonder […]
A putz is someone who acts like a dick and while most of the time Bill O’Reilly’s dog and pony show on The Fox News Network doesn’t bother me (mostly because I never watch it anymore after I finally noticed that he sucked) I went to visit my family on Sunday and Monday, and Monday […]
It’s October! And that means our holy day of obligation is getting near—Halloween! There’s no other time of the year when those who are in the closet can come out from behind closed doors and play in their favorite gender. (Don’t worry if some of your friends see you and think you’re having a bit […]
A very young Paul McCartney sang that line a long time ago. In the years since then we’ve all grown older and some of us have passed the 64 mark already. Others are approaching it. As transgender folks some of us wonder how we’ll spend our golden years. (Or tin years, or copper years, as […]
In the 21st century the so called “reality show†has become the norm on television. Any situation that can be hammered into a television format ends up on the air. Everything from talent competitions like American Idol to who’s gonna be the next Pussycat Doll have been turned into television programming. (How about a show […]
That’s right kids! Time is running out to get your sexy swimwear shot included in the Swimsuit 2007 Pictorial! Send them to me by the end of the week and you’ll be there when we publish the pictorial in the first week of September.
The film Stardust is just the kind of fantasy film that I love. It features a wall (plain old stone) that divides our world from another world that is both magical and similar to our own. But, it doesn’t have dragons of a cute or vicious bent, no massive barbarians with giant broadswords, and none […]
It’s hard to tell sometimes TGF is working correctly so we depend on you to let us know when the gremlins have disconnected something. Regina let us know that she got a page of technical gobbledegook when she tried to posta comment on one of Ronnie’s posts and I alerted our tech lady Alaina so […]
