Validation: So Very Important

Perpetual Change — Baby Dee
What do a bear suit, a harp, and a bad moment as a tree surgeon have in common? Well, in a sane, practical world, probably nothing. But in the life and world of transgender musician Baby Dee, these are all part of her story.
TG History — “Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabachthani?” TGs and The Bible
Those in our western world who are opposed to what they view as “alternative lifestyles” often use the Bible to point out the error of our ways to GLBTs. They often use Deuteronomy 22:18-21 when they condemn crossdressers to the fiery pits of Hell. Since we’re coming up on a really large Christian holiday this […]

What’s Going On At TGForum?
You may have noticed a few glitches over the last week at TGForum. We moved the entire site, plus all the member websites, to a new server and there were some, shall we say, “issues” along the way.

Transvocalizers — Christmas Music
Christmas Music plus I was sort of wondering what could be done with this new Transvocalizers feature to keep in line with the holidays. Given the extent of our economic downturn (duress, even…), the gift of music is still a highly affordable way to celebrate the season, regardless of your personal beliefs. In our main […]
Phun with Photos
It was the day after Thanksgiving, and I was bored. Even though I had filled myself the day before, I was still feeling pretty thin. My mind wandered to some of my older clothing, and I remembered a Frederick’s of Hollywood corset that I had put aside, but couldn’t bear to toss. Would it fit […]
What? It’s Monday again?
Hey TGF members! It’s that time again — time for a new edition of the best darned TG mag on the Web. Before we leap into it this week I have to share a photo that I found in the New York Times. It’s from a slide show of footwear in Manhattan. Times staffer Bill […]
Transgender: a mental diagnosis, a physical condition, or normal variation?
Hi friends! It’s been a mixed bag weekend for me so far — I got some of my Christmas decorations out, which is always enjoyable, especially with some nice seasonal music for inspiration. On the other hand, I had a plumbing disaster which involved a substance looking like espresso pouring out of all my sinks […]
Personal Account: Downsizing: It Can Be Win, Win, Win

(Another) Super Hero For Us
A few months ago we reported on a film called Catalina that featured a crossdressing super hero as the title character. As far as we can determine the film has been completed but hasn’t found distribution so we’ll just have to wait to see it. In the meantime the website Funny or Die has scooped […]
