The missing link
If you’ve spent any amount of time online, in a chat room or with an instant messanger, you’ve probably encountered that mysterious creature known as an “admirer”. But what is an admirer, really?

Ronnie Rho has been writing for Transgender Forum since May of 1999. One of these days, she'll get it right. She's been described as the "world's most famous recluse," but only by people who don't know her very well. She is unmarried, and lives in Cincinnati.
Swimsuit Season
Spring has finally arrived in the Northern Hemisphere, and as the temperature climbs, the weight and amount of clothing we wear decreases. And unfortunately, all that stored-up winter fat is now on full display.
The Foundation
Honestly, I don’t feel all that comfortable revealing my makeup secrets to the world like this. But, it’s what the People want, and Ronnie Rho is all about the People.
Hey clothing designers! Hello?
Why is it, if it’s large enough to fit a fat chick comfortably, it’s ugly? I say this as a fat chick myself. Clothing for the “plus size woman” is almost always hideous.
I want my MTV
Yeah, I’ll admit it. I’m old enough to remember when MTV still showed videos. Good or bad, it was those same music videos that helped shape my fashion sense…
Whaddya want?
Over in the BBS section, there’s a poll question. (You may have to fight your way through some interesting ads for Chinese-made knives to get there.) But the question is:
The same old story…
Maybe you’ve already heard about Kitty Grey. Or Sabrina Trujillo. Maybe you haven’t. If you haven’t, it’s something you’ve heard before: A transgendered person who is incarcerated and wants SRS.
A bit of a quandry…
My friend Alicia wants me to go to Chicago this June to go to Be-All. The Mrs. and I went in 2004, and had a really, really good time. We hung out with Alicia and her SO, and met Helen Boyd, and the infamous Betty, along with a lot of people I had known online, […]
Good news from Cincy
The City Council approved a measure that adds gay, lesbian and transgender to the Human Rights Ordinance. A subcommittee took testimony on Tuesday before sending the bill to the full council. One of the first people to testify in favor of the measure?
Unity in the Queen City
Mark Twain once said, (paraphrased) “If the world ends, I want to be in Cincinnati, because they won’t hear about it for another 2 weeks.” Anti-discrimination laws are nothing really new in the United States, but we’re just now considering one in Cincinnati.
The old hidden ball trick…
Spring training has started. The boys of summer are back at it, and boys will be boys Except when they’re girls.
NYC TS on TV
I’ll admit it. When I saw her picture, I gasped. The television was on at work, and The Insider came on, featuring NYC transsexual Amanda Lepore. She’s had a wee bit of work. The sound was off, and everyone was hard at it, but someone glanced up, and saw her, and made comment along the […]
Laissez les bons temps rouler!
A most joyous Carnival to you and yours! Where-ever I’ve been, I have observed Mardi Gras ever since spending 2 weeks in the Big Easy in college. We were not there during the Fat Tuesday celebrations, but the city affected me so profoundly, that I’ve tried to keep a piece of it in my heart […]
No more of the Crying Game!
As a rule I don’t pay attention to shows like American Idol. They’re just not my thing. So this caught me completely unaware. I’m not even sure when it happened. If I wasn’t already biased against the show, I would be now. Bravo to Zach for being who he is. 3 cheers to […]
Gwen Dibbly’s Flying Circus…
PBS has a neat programme on these days: Monty Python’s Personal Best. It’s a sort of “Best of” the series, each week focusing on a different member of the Python troupe.
