Today we mine the TGForum Archives for a post from 1996. At that time we had a peer advice column called Dear Rachael. TGF members would send their questions to the editor and she would pass them along to Rachael. In this post from August of ’96 Rachael offers advice to a crossdresser who wants to grow breasts. Then a trans woman who desperately wants to get out of the closet. Followed by a trans woman in the U.K. who wants to begin transition, and then she has an answer for a crossdresser who wants correspond with other girls. Keep in mind that the questions and Rachael’s replies were written in 1996.

Since it’s October and Halloween will be here in a few weeks we bring back Ms. Farrell’s column from October of 1998. Her message remains as relevant today as it did all those decades ago.

This post originally appeared on TGForum in December of 1997. It is by former contributor Jami Ward and is her answer to people who asked her what being transgender felt like. What’s it feel like to have brown eyes? After thinking it over for some time Jami came up with an answer she shared with TGF readers.
TGForum brings back user photos! Not like we did in the ’90s. Now you can upload a photo and after its approved (no nudity or other naughtiness) it will be added to our new TGForum User Gallery. (300MB maximum size.)
In the dusty halls of the TGForum Archives there are to be found many pictures of the female impersonators of days gone by. In the 1990s TGF editor Cindy Martin put together photos to create pictorials of those long ago stars. Here are just a few.
In the 1990s Brittany Rose was TGForum’s comic book expert. She revealed the numerous times that male protagonists adopted female disguise (looking at you Jimmy Olsen) in or to defeat villains. And when male villains used female disguise as part of their nefarious plots to take over the world. Or at least steal a lot of money. This Retro Rerun is from June of 1998 and is about the amazing way that latex masks can completely transform a man into a beautiful woman. Key thing to know, they can’t. Except in the comic book world.
Our Retro Rerun comes for 1996. Julie Freeman was a significant other who was active in the transgender community for many years, particularly with the significant others and couples groups. She wrote this article about the importance of self-esteem, the self-esteem of the crossdresser’s partner.
By Donna T Here is a flash back to the 1990s with some tips from Donna T for doing photo effects to enhance your self portraits. Now, many of us are able to use Photoshop–or an app built into our smart phone camera to add all kinds of filters to our digital photos. In the […]
The Imperial Court of Minnesota is a local Chapter of an international organization whose focus is to build a better community through volunteer work and community outreach with an emphasis on fundraising. In July the will hold a fundraiser for a Minnesota charity.
Today’s Retro Rerun is from the TGForum Archives for 1998. The late Roberta Angela Dee shared a story with TGForum users from her early days identifying as a crossdressing male. She went on the transition and wrote many posts for TGF. In this story she writes about the thrill she would get stopping at a convenience store and buying a soda. Only to have the thrill disappear when she couldn’t start her car.
There are around 70 people who at some point in the last few months signed up for a TGForum account but they languish in isolation, unable to login and create a profile because they have not followed up and activated their accounts. When you register for TGForum you should receive an activation email. That’s so […]
blond(e) BOY, Red LIPSTICKby Geoff Bunn Review by Elizbaeth Batignolles This one came to my attention through the recommendation of a translator friend with good taste in literature. Set in London and Birmingham in the 1980s, blond(e) BOY, red LIPSTICK is a transgender romance, the first I’ve ever read. I was intrigued to find out […]
Back in the 1990s, when TGForum was young, people would send their photos to the Editor, Cindy Martin and Cindy would turn their snapshots into glamor pictorials. These photos were actually scanned from color prints and assembled for TGF user’s entertainment. Today our Retro Rerun is the 1999 pictorial of Diane Kramer. We’re sure she would want you to enjoy her poses today, as much as TGF users did back in 1999.
Cat-Head Comics is an alt-comics publisher. They sent us a press release announcing the upcoming release of a new graphic novel featuring a transgender character. The title is 1956 Book One: Sweet Sweet Little Ramona. As with many creative projects these days, to get a project off the ground you need to give it a […]
Today’s Retro Rerun is by Brittany Rose. Her beat was crossdressing and transgender characters in comic books. This post covers two horror stories that feature crossdressing. In one story a master of disguise impersonates a female reporter. In the other story two men both dressed as Marilyn Monroe for a Halloween party. Britney’s Cartoon Corner featuring these comics was first published on TGForum in October of 1998.
Guest contributor Jessica Blackler, founder of Jecca Blac and makeup artist for the trans community, gives her recommendations on how to do one of the most importnat steps in male to female transformation — prepping your face and covering beard shadow.
Today we dip into our TGForum Archives for another Retro Rerun. This one was written by TGF Contributor Diane Kaye back in 1998. Diane shared her research into which bras and panties work best for crossdressers who want comfort and the right amount of support.
Today we dip into the TGForum Archives for an article from 1996 by a significant other. Julie Freeman wrote about the necessity for crossdresser spouses or significant others to talk with their significant others concerning their need to dress up. And, to set boundaries. If the couple happen to wear the same size then is borrowing allowed? If they’re not the same size then who gets to buy a new dress first? See what advice Ms. Freeman offered in 1996.
