Getting Out For A Few Days
Time. “Time keeps flowing like a river.” “Life is too short, so why waste precious time?” Insert another song reference here. Time is very precious to a closeted cross dresser as any moment we have as our fem-selves is absolute gold. Makes sense — time is money after all. So extra time as Sophie is […]

PERPETUAL CHANGE — StormMiguel Florez
It’s usually a bit of a challenge to come up with something interesting for my first column of the new year. This year is different, though, for two reasons. First off, I planned ahead months in advance. And secondly, I found StormMiguel Florez. Florez is, in his own words, “…a Mexican American FtM, genderqueer, singer/songwriter, […]
TG Fiction — Crying For Ogre, Part 2
In Crying For Ogre, Part 1 we met frat boy, Rugby player and shameless exploiter of women Andrew “Ogre” Gruber.

Flying En Femme — Know Your Rights

Sports, Physical Fitness and the Crossdresser
Linda recounts a conversation with a friend where she extols the physiological and social benefits of physical fitness for today’s crossdresser. “What do sports have to do with crossdressing?” I was asked when it was announced that the topic of my presentation to the next support group meeting would be ‘Sports, Fitness and the Crossdresser’.

Happy New Year!
Hey! Where did last year go? It’s the first Monday of 2011 already and we’re busy getting the kinks worked out of our new format. I erroneously reported that old users would have to register again but we quickly learned that you not only don’t have to register again — you can’t. So, if you’ve […]
Ho, Ho, Ho
Sophie file this before the Christmas holiday. Ho, Ho, and who you callin’ a Ho? It’s Sophie Lynne and it’s Christmas. I guess it’d be more “politically correct” to say it’s (fill in the blank) but let’s face it: here in the US Christmas is everywhere and permeates everything. Can’t avoid it, even by lighting […]
Transvocalizers — Sherry Vine
Transvocalizers is starting the new year out right by introducing a new (to us…) performer by the name of Sherry Vine. Vine, whose real name is Keith Levy, has made a definite dent in the world of live vocal drag shows by doing often risque parodies of current hits. Vine does owe sort of a […]
Monday Edition
Happy Monday after Christmas, gentle readers. After the drinking and dining on Christmas day at Publisher JoAnn Roberts’ palatial suburban manse it’s a wonder I’m awake enough to type.

TG History: The Measure of a Man — Dr. Alan L. Hart
“You’re neither unnatural, nor abominable, nor mad. You’re as much a part of what people call nature as anybody else; only you’re unexplained as yet — you’ve not got your niche in creation” — Radclyffe Hall, The Well of Loneliness Halls Summit, Kansas doesn’t exist anymore. But there were hundreds like it once — little […]
