They call it Stormy Monday…
But it’s not raining here in Philly! I hope it’s dry where you live. Good day my little lemon drops. It’s time for another Monday Edition of TGForum! Today we lead off with something I never thought we’d see — a short edition of This Week In Transgenderism. Our stalwart News Editor Ronnie Rho has […]
Is The “Brazilian Butt Lift” Right For You? by Dr. Sherman Leis
(Bala Cynwyd, PA USA)  It is an anatomical fact that most males have narrower, less voluptuous hips and buttocks than do females. As part of the sexual reassignment process from male to female, it is necessary to enhance the male buttocks to become more like the archetypal female form. There are a number of ways […]

Monday! New Stuff!
Hi loyal readers! It’s the beginning of another week, and while most people dread Monday since it means back to work, I love it. It means I’ve just finished my labors and along with the able assistance of our TGF contributors we have put together the TGF Monday Edition. Now I get to sleep in. […]
Linda Jensen — Amanda’s Vacation Part 2

This summer she went all out. She elected to try spending her two week summer vacation living in her own cottage community entirely as […]
TransActive — What Else is New? — Two
For better or worse—sadly, often for the worse—history tends to repeat itself. This has proven especially true with the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), originally introduced in 1994. The transgender community has always been excluded from its protection, either from the beginning or as an unspoken bargaining chip. On June 24, 2009, Rep. Barney Frank […]
Finding Your Voice
One of my English teachers encouraged us by saying, “You’ve got to find your voice.†As a writer I’m still working on that, and as a part-time T-gurl, I will probably never find it. It’s hard to find your voice in lots of ways. How many times have you heard about someone who’s as pretty […]
Late Show Lampoons “Housewives” with Drag
The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon ran a pre-produced parody of the “Real Housewives” reality show on their Monday night show.

TRANSVOCALIZERS — Our Lady J
Gospel music done by a drag entertainer? Hey, why not. Although, please don’t call Our Lady J a drag queen. She’s been known to take serious issue with that. She makes it clear that she’s a transsexual, thank you very much. Our Lady J is best known as a singer/songwriter/keyboardist, who has been described as […]

And The Wheel Goes Round and Round…
… to another Monday. Happy Labor Day! Many of you are not at work today but sitting in front of your computer searching Monster.com for a new job. Or you just have the day off and can take the luxury of reading your new TGForum content early. We start off today with the talented and […]
Getting Ma’amed
It happens to us all at one time or another. We’re out and about enfemme and someone will refer to you as “ma’am.” How do you take that? The dictionary defines “madam” as the term you use when you’re speaking to a lady. The English language tends to lose letters and replace them with apostrophes […]

Perpetual Change — Roger Anthony Mapes (Part 2)
Last month was the first installment of our interview with Roger Anthony Mapes, a.k.a Yolanda. Since Roger had some very interesting insights and thoughts, we though we’d run the interview in two installments so as not to edit out anything that is important. In last month’s installment, Roger briefly mentioned the new album that he […]

Linda Jensen — Amanda’s Holiday
As a crossdresser one of my favorite things is to be able to spend a period of time living as my feminine identity. A full day? A weekend? Those are great. A few times I’ve been able to get away for a weeks holiday living totally en femme. The operative phrase here is get away. […]
Please Welcome — New Content!
Hello my loyal readers! It’s Monday and blah, blah. You know the drill. We start with a particularly well assembled This Week In Transgenderism… ah, no use kidding. I had to fill in for our lovely and talented News Editor Ronnie Rho and assemble the TWIT while she went away and it doesn’t hold a […]
TRANSVOCALIZERS — Lucas Silveira
Lucas Silveira isn’t your standard fare for this column. While our initial focus was on drag entertainers who sing in their own voice, Lucas, as a transman, certainly doesn’t fill that bill. No matter, though, because this is a transgender artist who is beginning to make an international impact, and will help to advance positive […]

Stochastic Musings — Cats, Bacon, Guys, Hair, and Realness
Kalina talks about catty transsexuals, pictures are worth a thousand words, bad breakfasts, the real meaning of “guys,” real hair, and what happens when you look too real. It was hard for me to compose this entry, so I’ll give it my best shot, like I always do. I met someone new last night and […]
