Halloweenie
So, the crossdresser’s holiday is almost here. And I’m not ready. I don’t have a costume. I don’t have set plans for who I’m going out with, and I don’t know where we’ll go if we do.

When I’m not reading and re-reading…
the articles, blogs and posts here on TGForum, I’m busily scouring the web, looking for porn interesting articles and features for you, Dear Reader. And I’ve come up with something interesting! Again.
Another cool find on the Internet
So, by now, everyone and their drag mother knows about YouTube. Just about anyone can make their own video and upload it, or make a copy of someone else’s work and spread it around. (I have found some cool TG stuff on YouTube, including some things I thought were gone forever.) But lo and behold, […]
Need an F on your birth certificate?
Instead of an M? Or maybe you need that M, and want to lose the F. In New York City, they’re planning on a swap meet for transsexuals. Twice a year, everyone with a F who wants an M, will get together with everyone who has an M but wants an F. They’ll then trade. […]
More to it…???
So, I wear clothing designed for women. I paint my face to appear more like a female. Maybe most importantly, I try to act like a woman when I’m dressed. So obviously, this is more than a fetish. If it was just about the clothes, why do I adopt the character of a woman? That’s […]
Some links worth following…
Helen Boyd has a new book coming out. “She’s Not the Man I Married” is the long-awaited follow-up to Helen’s “My Husband Betty”. (I say “long-awaited” with some irony, as I had no idea she was writing a follow up book.)
True Transsexuals (Part III!)
I only started blogging about the theory of True Transsexuals because it happened to someone very close to me. She started believing she was transsexual, and was headed down the transition road when she didn’t need to be.
True Transsexuals (Part II)
So, going with the theory that there are transgendered people out there who claim to be transsexual, but perhaps aren’t:Â What would cause someone to voluntarily run down that very rough road when they don’t have to? Why would someone put themselves through all that pain, all those difficulties that TS’s face, when they could […]
True Transsexuals (Part I)
The first time I heard this term was about 5 years ago.  It made me angry.  The label smacks of elitism. Of course, in context, it was used with a heaping dose of elitism. The speaker was criticizing people who, in her view, were not really transsexual. They were just playing at it. Or something.
Time keeps on slipping into the future.
June just zipped by, and it went so quickly, I think July got caught in the draft and was dragged along even faster. Point is, here it is August of 2006. It wasn’t all that long ago my friends were headed south for Southern Comfort.
A mishmash…and an endorsement
I’m not sure how the real bloggers do it, or what the ettiquette is. Is it proper to respond to blog comments with a new blog? Or do you respond to the responses in the comment section of the original blog? Or should a writer respond at all? Oh, Brave New World!
Wait/Weight Watchers
Over the years, I’ve voluntarily given up my transgendered pursuits several times. It’s not purging, just a temporary suspension of activities. For instance, after I got married, I lost interest in my femme side, and devoted all my time to my bride. But there were also plenty of occasions where the spirit was willing, but […]
If they can do it there…
You can do it anywhere. I thought this was rather cool. Especially since I originally hail from Nebraska: Instead of just rolling over and playing dead as the forces of fear and hate do their thing, some people are standing up, coming out and fighting for their rights. In Nebraska of all places. How cool […]
Hurray for boobies!
One of the most obvious indicators of being female is the presence of breasts. If you’ve got ’em, you might just have an easier time passing. And the more realistic, the better. Sure, inserts and forms and rolled up socks are good, but cleavage will buy you some more credibility… Barring getting implants, or growing […]
You’ve probably already seen this somewhere…
From the NTAC: Transgenders Claim FEMA Sex Change Scandal Was Fabricated, Fraudulent Last month, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) testified before a House Homeland Security subcommittee to spotlight $1.4 billion fraudulent waste of Emergency Assistance Funds (EAF) to Hurricane Katrina victims. The unprecedented level of Federal Emergency Management Agency fraud was blared over television newscasts […]
Some girls have it…
Some girls don’t. I was chatting with a friend of mine this morning, and she was trying to talk me into going out tonight. I’d love to, but it’s not in the budget. It’s an expensive hobby for me, considering at the very least, I like to wear false nails and they don’t come cheap. […]
One of the best things I ever did…
…besides getting married, was to get my ears pierced. It was at Be-All in Chicago 2 years ago. My friend Alicia had had hers done and was raving about it, and I guess I succumbed to peer-pressure. But, it was something I was thinking about anyway. Clip-ons were getting harder and harder to find. Good […]
Sex and the T-girl
Are there any crossdressing gals out there who have a steady, or at least regular relationship with a man? Even if it’s just for booty call, does it exist? Even on the down-low?I’m just being nosy. I can’t think of at anytime, hearing about such an arrangement. It must be the sex that trips people […]
The Transgender Flag
This is one of several versions of the transgender flag I’ve been able to find on the Internet. No offense to its creator, but, it doesn’t really say much about us as a group. I mean, blue and pink stands for boy and girl, as does the symbol in the left hand corner. But, it’s […]
I am not a good looking man…
And I’ll be the first to admit it. For the most part, women do not flirt with me. The number of women I’ve met in say, a bar, and later dated, I can count on one hand. (Please, keep the masturbation jokes to yourself.) My wife thinks I’m attractive, but when I look at pictures […]
Cop and Criminals
It’s been a busy time in the GLBT arena. In Washington, the “fundies” call for a vote on an amendment banning same-sex marriage. They lost, but you have to wonder about the timing: It is Pride month after all. In Houston, a TS has come out of the closet, and hopes to keep her job. […]
Sasquatch prepares for Pride…
With Cincinnati’s Pride Festival just a week away, I’m already getting ready. I used my adjustable clippers to trim down the hair on my arms. I haven’t decided what I’m wearing, but if it’s sleeveless, or at least short sleeved, I won’t be too hairy. My legs are posing a different problem.
New hope for FTM’s????
Over the years, I’ve had several good friends who were FTM.  And I hope for their sakes this new procedure will work for them:
No Prom for you.
Eighteen-year-old Kevin Logan says he is a homosexual who is exploring his sexual identity. He has dressed as a female while attending classes this year. Logan arrived last Friday for the prom wearing a fuchsia, slinky prom dress and heels but was not allowed inside. School officials say its school policy that males can’t wear […]
Window dressing to the soul
We’ve all heard the cliche about the eyes being window dressing for the soul. And the thing about cliches is, they’re often true. Else they wouldn’t have become cliche in the first place.Â
Idealism comes back and bites me in the ass.
I’ve been on this anti-photo kick lately. Simply put, I’ve left the camera at home the last few times I’ve gone out. And there are a lot of good reasons behind the decision: 1. It’s an expensive thing, and some day, someone at the bar is going to walk off with it. 2. It’s so […]
