Don’t stop now ladies! Keep those swimsuit shots coming. In the beginning of September we’ll present the 2007 Swimsuit Spectacular. So get out your swimsuit, grab the camera and get on out to the pool. (Or take a shot in the living room if that’s all you can manage.) You say you don’t have a […]
One of the first movies I ever saw that depicted a drag queen as a sympathetic character and not a crazy person was the original 1978 La Cage aux Folles. (It was released in the U.S. in 1979.) The fabulous Zaza was played by French film star Michel Serrault. Mr. Serrault had played the role […]
We’re nearing the end of July and the call is still out for Swimsuit Pictorial photos. Let’s get them all in by the end of August and we’ll start September with a glorius pictorial look at the summer that just went by. Get that body waxing, tone and tan up, slip into that swimsuit and […]
Our print publication, LadyLike, needs club reporters to cover the TG friendly scene in their areas. If you go out in your town, or travel to another town to go out, and know of places where TGs are welcome to party you could become a club scene reporter. We only need a short review (300-400 […]
Suzi Nash is a gay activist and singer/songwriter based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It occurred to her that while there was a great deal of music written for children that talked about straight relationships and issues there wasn’t much for the children of LGBT people. So Rainbow Sprinkles was born. From the Rainbow Sprinkles website: “Rainbow […]
A few weeks ago JoAnn remarked to me that we really should get a new pictorial up on the site. We’ve been busy of course but that’s no excuse for not putting up anything new since 2005. (And that one seems to have disappeared into the ozone.) So, since it’s summer I am hereby putting […]
Hi Everyone! I hope you had a lovely Fourth of July. There’s nothing like watching fireworks in spike heels and a red, white and blue mini dress. Let’s just hope that the potato salad and burgers haven’t totally ruined our figures for the rest of the summer. Awhile back we noticed that as we labor […]

The BBC is working on a documentary about people who can’t have children and they want to include transsexual individuals who are willing to appear on camera discussing how they feel about not being able to father or give birth. If you want more information give the “more” link a click.
Dateline Hollywood! What two male stars are set to work with a TG in a major motion picture? Could one of them have spent some time in a dress himself? The answers await when you click… Right now a film titled Powder Blue is in pre-production in Tinseltown. It’s, to quote the casting blurb, “a […]
Last week I was on a road trip in central Pennsylvania. Passing through the Harrisburg area I decided to stop at The Bon Ton store near the Capitol Mall and check out the bargains.(The Bon Ton is a department store chain in Pennsylvania.) I was traveling in stealth mode, muy macho. As I got out […]
Really, I’ve had it. I can’t live like this anymore. Some big changes have to be made. It started out small. A skirt here, a dress there. But now it’s out of hand! I’ve gotta get back into that closet and make some hard decisions.
When I look back on the past decades I can’t help but be amazed about the progress that has been made in the TG community. From back in the day when there was no actual TG community to the way things are now; The word transgender appears in newspapers, TG characters are on television, TGs […]

In the past the Eurovision Song Contest has had drag performers win the top song. This year two queens made it to the top 28 of the semi-finals and only one has made it to the finals. Who are these lovely damsels? What countries do they represent? Who’s been eliminated and who has a chance […]
The British television industry is always on the lookout for the next big “reality” show concept. (I quote because there’s not much that’s real about the genre.) Now they’ve hit upon an idea that gives us, trans-people, a chance to win a dream (?) job as the personal assistant to a drag-doing celebrity. Who you […]
Self proclaimed “beaner” comedian Carlos Mencia has a show on Comedy Central. In the second season of his show he started to throw in some drag characters. Is it all in fun or is there a hidden side to Carlos… named Carlitta?

In 2003 the organization, which had expanded its event to seven days, became Equality Forum to reflect the inclusion […]
You’ve come a long way baby! Just a few short years ago someone who was changing gender didn’t transition— they disappeared. Today you blog about it.
I boldly announced on the 23rd that you would be able to comment on any posting easily since I had used my magic wand to fix the complicated system we were operating with before then. Sadly Harry Potter done me dirty and sold me a defective wand. My frantic waving of said wand and muttered […]
I check in with TGF pretty much every day since it’s my job to edit this thing and keep you, the readers, happy. At the moment I can only conclude that you’re all very happy with what we’ve been doing and you agree completely with everything we publish. I get that feeling because no one […]
Last night Steve Stanton appeared on a segment of the fake news show The Daily Show on the Comedy Central network. The show is aired several times after it’s first airing so you can catch it a couple of times today. Tonight at 8 p.m. eastern time will be the last scheduled airing but it […]
The RedHandedPorn.com website features videos of people, all different types of people, masturbating in as many different ways as they can think of and demonstrate. The site is owned by lesbians (who self identify as “dykesâ€) and they are based in San Francisco. Due to the larger than average TG population in SF many of […]
Op-Ed By Angela Gardner Ann Coulter, the White Witch of Narnia, Wicked Bitch of The West, and Republican pin up girl indirectly called presidential candidate John Edwards a faggot. It was done —indirectly—at the end of a speech she made to the American Conservative Union Political Action Conference last Friday (03/02/07). Coulter said she had […]

What’s the deal with black, comic actors dressing up like fat ladies? In the past decade there have been several films that feature their male stars padding up (way up!) and slipping into drag. Yes, Flip Wilson started it all back in the day with his female character but she was slim and sexy. Great […]
