PERPETUAL CHANGE — Blind Dog Wanders
The West Coast, and particularly Los Angeles, is known as one of the country’s major music markets. Okay, so that’s one of those statements that’s practically a cliche, and you’re probably wondering why it’s used to start this article. Well, transgender musicians are becoming more and more an important, creatively viable part of what’s happening […]

Trans Active — “The Spirit and the Flesh”
Just in case you’re wondering about the title, this column is not about Walter L. Williams’ 1992 book on sexual diversity in American Indian culture, although I’m sure it’s a fascinating read. No, this month we’re talking about that one topic my mother said never should be discussed at the Thanksgiving dinner table (or under […]
What’s Happening With the Imperial?
Imagine that for as long as you can remember you had your heart set on visiting one of the so-called ‘˜Wonders of the World.’ Perhaps it was the Great Pyramids of Egypt, Machu Pichu, the Great Wall of China or Taj Mahal. (It doesn’t matter there are lots more than the traditional ‘˜seven wonders of […]

Angela Gardner — Private Eye
It was an ordinary Monday. I was sitting in my office, filing my nails and trying not to think about the bottle of bourbon in the bottom drawer of my desk when the door opened and she walked in. It was Ronnie Rho. She sat down, crossed her long, nylon sheathed gams and took a […]
The Henri David Halloween Ball 2009
For more years than JoAnn or I can mention we’ve been on the guest list for The Henri David Halloween Ball in downtown Philadelphia. Actually, I will say that a Henri David Halloween Ball was really my first night out in drag. It was in another decade and that’s as far as I go. I […]
Nothing To Cheer About
The New York Post is not a subtle newspaper. They proved it today by running a doctored photo of Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino in a cheerleader’s skirt. The photo was accompanied by a headline that read:Â “Gotham trembles: The Frillies are coming to town.” Girls, I think they’re saying that the Philadelphia Phillies are […]

TG History: GIRLS NIGHT OUT, THE EARLY SUPPORT GROUPS
WHAT WAS THE OLDEST SUPPORT GROUP IN CONTINUOUS EXISTENCE? Now that’s a really good question. Let’s face it — TG groups aren’t always known for their longevity. They come and go like fireflies in the summer, often appearing out of nowhere then disappearing just as suddenly once interest and volunteers have run out. For a […]
The Crossdresser’s High Holy Holiday
Carmen Miranda — 2006 We can’t state it often or emphatically enough: Halloween is coming! Oh, and don’t roll your eyes like that, young lady. We know you know that Halloween is approaching.

TransActive — Another Kind of Out
No, don’t worry. . . this is not another one of those Stealth versus Out articles. Goddess knows there’ve been more than enough of those and pretty much everything has been said. If ever I think up a fresh spin on that debate I might dive back in, but not this time. No, I’m on […]

Amanda is on her dream holiday.  As a crossdresser she had spent years hiding her second identity from those around her, those she loves most. She had been going away to find her Amanda time.
