Are you going to use that?
Does anyone purge any more? Excluding Nicole Ritchie of course. Do t-girls still purge their wardrobes? Do wigs and shoes and bras and dresses get thrown in the trash?

New Hair!
My birthday is this month. Not far off from Christmas, actually. It rather sucked as a child, because my folks couldn’t go nuts on gifts for my birthday, because they were budgeting for Christmas too. But now that I’m (technically) an adult, it’s not so bad. Not so bad because I can combine the two […]
That’s what friends are for…
Last Tuesday, I got together with a couple of friends for an afternoon of picture taking, videotaping, (more on that later), and socializing. For one afternoon, we simply got dressed up and took pictures throughout the house.
Rest in peace, Roy
A friend of mine died this weekend. I never met Roy face-to-face, but I chatted with him online many times over the years, and spoke once on the phone. So, it would be dishonest if I claimed him as a close friend.
While I’m jogging down memory lane…
Do you remember your first support group meeting? Oy! Mine was nerve wracking. I don’t know why I didn’t just give up and stay home It was July of 1993. I was living in Lincoln, Nebraska with my girlfriend. The support group was the RCGA, based in Omaha. They met on the first Saturday of […]
And now . . . the rest of the story.
So, there I was, locked in the bathroom, wearing someone else’s blue eyeshadow, and wearing it wrong. And I hear my friend Renee let herself inside the house, and holler for me. I could have pretended I wasn’t home. I could have said I was taking a bath, or something. But, I didn’t. I hollered […]
Makeup Confessions!
Can’t speak for anyone else, but putting on makeup did not come naturally for me. Oh, I remember experimenting with mascara as an adolescent, and getting yelled at by Mom, but the first time I actually tried to put on eye shadow, well . . . it’s probably better left unsaid. But, I’m going to […]
You ask, we answer.
That’s the beauty of this new TGForum format. Someone like Allison or myself posts some thoughts, other readers, like MelissaK, and Linda J chime in, and we’re well on our way to a discussion. And even better, if someone asks a question about the original post, the author can answer, and so can everyone else! […]
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 […]
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 […]
