Measure UP!
Our American culture encourages all of us to measure ourselves largely by what we’ve not yet achieved. Just look at the term “measure up”, it implies always pursuing a higher standard and there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that’s just what we do. We’re encouraged to make New Year’s resolutions, implying that we aren’t yet […]
Crossdressers With Balls
So, you’ve already read Crossdressers are Transsexuals without Balls, right? No? Go back and read it. Then come back and watch as we tear that myth a new one. I’ll wait.
Beleaguered Wife Syndrome
My second essay here was going to be a continuation of my social capital article from last month. Since that was met with such fanfare, I’m encouraged to do something a little different this time around. I’ll get back to that eventually, but first let’s see who I can piss off.
Ninja Beauty Secrets, part 5
Skincare and Haircare We’re going to take a slight departure from our lessons and focus our attention on skincare. Not long ago, I believed that a good look was comprised of 66% hair, 33% makeup, and 1% “oomph,†the oomph being the little something extra that takes your look over the top. But what if […]
LadyLike Magazine — Gone
I never thought I would be writing this. After 19 years of publishing LadyLike Magazine, we can no longer afford to put LadyLike on paper. Over the past year, the cost to print LL has steadily risen. The cost to print the January 2008 issue would have been 40% higher than the January 2007 issue. […]
“Crossdressers are Transsexuals without Balls.”
So goes the hypothesis anyway. I’ve heard it from a few people that crossdressers are simply transsexuals without the guts to transition. Unfortunately, those espousing this idea never seem to have any evidence to back it up. Let’s face it: there’s not nearly enough scientific research on any of us.
TWIT Notes! (This Week in Transgenderism)
The number of people making transgendered folk look bad is at an all time high! Maybe they all want to get their names in TWIT Notes!
Don’t Forget The TGF Survey
In light of the recent developments concerning LadyLike it’s more important than ever that we get your input on how we’re doing at TGF. If you haven’t done so already please visit the TG Forum Satisfaction Survey and give us your two cents. You can find the Survey page by clicking here. Thanks!
Perpetual Change By Pamela DeGrof — The Cliks
Canada is known for more than just being our neighbor to the north. It’s also the exporter of great commodities such as hockey, excellent beer, and of course, very cold weather. The weather thing can be overlooked, even forgiven, because of all the great music that has also come from the Great White North. Rush, […]
TiVo Alert: TVs on TV
Gorgeous supermodel Tyra Banks will feature several gorgeous transsexual pageant contestants on her talk show, Tuesday, November 27th. Check local listings for details.
TWIT Notes–Better late than never!
We’d like to say there was a nefarious plot by a certain gay-rights group that delayed this edition of This Week in Transgenderism, but alas, no. We’d also like to say it was the getting up early for Black Friday that caused the delay, but again: no. Instead, it was, um… aliens. Aliens stole our […]
Take The TGF Satisfaction Survey
A few months back I asked why we never get many people making comments on the articles/stories/features/blogs. One problem was the difficulty of making a comment. You had to register to comment and even if you we already logged in to TGF you still had to log in again before you could share your opinion […]
The Great And Terrible Riz — Our New Blogger Takes On Social Capitalism
Hi, I’m Riz. This is my blog/column/whatever you want. And today we’re talking about social capital… what it is, why you want it, and why it’s important to our success as a community. I’ve been reading a lot about a thing called “social capital” lately. Like so many things, once you know what it is, […]
Why couldn’t I have been a fetishist?
Seriously. Why couldn’t I have a serious, easily recognizable fetish? Sure, I’ve got a thing about gorgeous hair, and a ribbon around a girl’s neck drives me up the wall, but I wonder why I didn’t develop something like a maid’s uniform fetish?
Hi, y’all!
TG Forum is adding some new bloggers! The first new voice on the Forum, Stephanie Yates, says hello in her first TGF Blog. I guess I’m the new girl in town, so an introduction is in order (at least that’s what my editor tells me). I’m Stephanie Yates, married (nearly 24 years, same wonderful, tolerant, […]
Ronnie’s Christmas Wish List
Yes, Christmas is still more than a month away, but in the past, I’ve waited too long to present my wish list. Obviously, I released the list too late, because no-one got me anything. So, without further delay: gift ideas for me.
The Ice Caps May be Melting… But Not Women’s Breasts (Thank God!)
I saw an interesting article about women’s breasts (find me an uninteresting article about women’s breasts – I dare you) on the London Daily Mail website. According to scientific fact, women’s breasts are growing larger from generation to generation. And the sweet thing about the article was that they showed three generations of female family […]
Be A Makeup Ninja! Kalina Isato Shows The Way
A ninja secret is a tidbit of knowledge or a technique that is a heavily guarded secret… until now. In this column, you will learn techniques for creating a look so perfect it’ll be considered razor sharp perfect. This month, we focus on eyeshadow on hooded eyes. Next month, we will focus on eyeshadow on […]
Mixed Thoughts on ENDA
By now, you’ve probably heard that ENDA passed the House of Representatives. It’s now headed for debate in the Senate, and if it passes that Democratically-controlled body, it’s on to the White House for a probable veto. (Read more at the San Francisco Chronicle.) I’m not happy about the removal of “transgender” from the bill, […]
The Halloween 2007 Pictorial
You’ve waited with bated (or maybe even baited) breath to view the TGF Halloween 2007 Pictorial and now, after days of waiting, it’s ready to be revealed. What sights to thrill and tantalize await for but the single click of a mouse? Squeeze your rodent, if you dare, and behold the Halloween beauties of 2007.
Honoring the Picket Lines
By now, I’m sure you’ve heard about the Hollywood writer’s strike. Well, I’m not going to be one to cross the picket line. No-siree Bob! So, I won’t be blogging today. Matter of fact, I won’t be blogging again until this situation is resolved! I’m no scab!
This Week in Transgenderism
Hey sports fans! Football season is in full swing, basketball is starting up, and we mention none of it in this edition of TWIT Notes! Instead, we’ve got a tv talk show host who’s TG, the latest on ENDA, a lesson on what methamphetamine will get you, and a laugh from a reader.
A Blast from the Past
Ten years ago this week, I had the opportunity to not only meet JoAnn Roberts, but to sit down and interview her. The plan was to write up the interview for our local support group’s newsletter. But, like many plans, it was set aside, and the cassette tape was forgotten. Until now.
Get Us Those Halloween Pics!
Hi Everyone! I imagine some of you have been out and about in your Halloween costumes for parties and costume parades already since Halloween falls in the middle of the week. There may even be more Halloween themed parties and club nights next weekend. So, if you’ve already had your costume preserved via the wonder […]
TWIT Notes: Holiday Edition
The TGF office is dark and lonely this week, as most everyone has taken off for the holidays. But, in one lonely corner cubicle, a little light shines. It’s the light of a writer who didn’t turn in her assignment on time. The sound of an aging typewriter echos across the otherwise quiet room. It […]
