There must be something in the Guinness in England. When you start to list all the incredible musicians whose talents have not only influenced our lives but have changed the course of popular music…well, there’s not enough space in an article of this length to make a comprehensive effort. There’s the obvious ones…The Beatles, The […]
Every now and then a girl has to make a big decision. Big decisions take careful consideration and our Lexy is not one to jump hastily into something new. So after careful consideration of all the pros and cons will Lexie make the right decision? There’s only one way to know how she will decide, […]
Come on in and take a seat at Dina’s Diner. This week the hostess with the mostest has very affordable Pink Plate Special (it used to be blue but you know how the Diner rolls) and she’s serving up extra big slices of pie for dessert. She covers it all from Jennifer Boylan’s op-ed in […]
With the posting of this installment of Perpetual Change, the column is officially ten years old. And quite honestly, that’s a sentence I never thought I’d write. I never believed I could do this for ten years. Long time readers of Perpetual Change (both of you) will probably note some of the changes that have […]
The Story So Far (TGF subscribers can read earlier installments): Eddie has taken an unanticipated business trip to New York City, and Terri invites him to enjoy the fine spring Saturday with her and Jessie at the Bronx Zoo.

Since so many people complained about not being able to see the last panel of the Lexy Tranner cartoon last week, and our efforts to make it visible came to naught, we’re running it again. Just click on the Lexy Toon thumbnail to see the whole strip. (If this doesn’t work…)
As the gender map changes and many with male biology adopt feminine lifestyles confusion abounds among not just the straight world but here in genderland as well. How do we continue to put people in categories, as we’re programmed to do, when the differences between a trans lady and born lady become less and less? […]
“I don’t like being referred to as ‘she’ necessarily,” said Miss Guy, well known DJ and former lead vocalist for the band Toilet Boys. “I’m happy being a pretty boy. I get mistaken for a girl sometimes. More on the street during the day with no make-up on than I do when I’m painted and […]
It’s here! The Easter Bunny has visited and left us the 2009 Easter/Spring Pictorial. But somewhere along his hoppity hop route he must have had a few photos fall out of his basket. Only three lovely ladies submitted their photos for the Pictorial, and they are Andee, Candy and Ronnie. Fortunately even though only three […]
The Story So Far (TGF subscribers can read earlier installments): Terri learns that her friend Chris had already figured out on her own that Terri had once been Alan and wasn’t fazed in the least by having her theory verified. Two days later, Brad, the man she met at a party hosted by a former […]
Last week our Miss Isato wrote about the need for T girls to mature and stop hanging around in the same old venues, wearing the same hair, makeup and clothes and telling the same old stories. Do we really do that? Some of us do. Many of us hang in the same old places because […]
I didn’t think of it at the time, but January 2009 marked my 20th year of active crossdressing. By active I mean going out to meetings, clubs, events, etc. The first time I ever went out was to attend the January 1989 meeting of the Renaissance TG Association. My association with Renaissance and some of […]
Kalina talks about her newest projects, her trip up to NYC, and restaurant meals with friends. There are plenty of lessons to be learned here.
The Vagina Monologues was written and performed by Eve Ensler in 1996. What began as conversations with her friends about sex, relationships and violence against women evolved into interviews with 200 women on which the “monologues†are based. She wrote the play to “celebrate the vagina.†A host of celebrities have since appeared in The […]
Pam DeGroff chats with gay musicians and TG allies Robert Urban and Nick Ganato about the state of Internet radio.
The word “fickle” could have been created with the music business in mind. The industry as a whole is notorious for changing everything from formats to genres to hairstyles. Fans can be worse…even brutal at times. Whatever is today’s musical genré du jour will be considered (within about a month…) “classic tracks.” So, anyone who […]
By now, you’ve probably heard of Donna Rose. She’s an author, a reluctant activist, and an inspiration to many in the transgendered community. Donna was the first transgendered woman to sit on the board of directors for the infamous Human Rights Campaign. And she’s the first transgendered woman to resign from that board, as well. […]

Several months ago we learned of a movie called Catalina — A New Kind of Superhero and promptly reported the news to TGF readers. At that time the film’s producer was looking for distribution but you could watch the trailer on the film’s website. Now we can report that the film is available on DVD. […]
It used to just be in the air – radio. Now it’s on the World Wide Web and you can listen to everything, even TG programming. Pamela DeGroff brings us a two part report on Internet radio and some news about Israeli TS singer Aderet in this edition of Perpetual Change.
So far in this new column, we have featured some well known drag entertainers. The term “drag queen” isn’t applicable to most of them, although a few wear it with pride. What we are focusing on are transgender vocalists/entertainers whose main tool of presentation is through singing. This month we feature TG vocalist Diane Michelle. […]
Our science fiction commentator, Misty Carpenter, has been sidelined for most of the year. We’d like to say she is on an extended trip off world to renew trade negotiations with the Grreeb from the dark sector, but, it’s been health problems that have really slowed her up. We wish her all the best and […]
