Take The TGF Satisfaction Survey

| Nov 24, 2007 | Reply

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

| Nov 23, 2007 | Reply

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?

| Nov 23, 2007 | Reply

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?

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

| Nov 19, 2007 | Reply

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!)

| Nov 14, 2007 | Reply

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 […]

Mixed Thoughts on ENDA

| Nov 8, 2007 | Reply

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, […]

Honoring the Picket Lines

| Nov 6, 2007 | Reply

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

A Blast from the Past

| Nov 1, 2007 | Reply

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.

TWIT Notes: Holiday Edition

| Oct 26, 2007 | Reply

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 […]

Bill O’Reilly — The Putz Factor

| Oct 17, 2007 | Reply

A putz is someone who acts like a dick and while most of the time Bill O’Reilly’s dog and pony show on The Fox News Network doesn’t bother me (mostly because I never watch it anymore after I finally noticed that he sucked) I went to visit my family on Sunday and Monday, and Monday […]

TGForum Special Report: ENDA & GENDA

| Oct 3, 2007 | Reply

In the beginning, there was ENDA. And it was good. The Employment Non-Discrimination Act would prohibit job discrimination based upon sexual orientation and gender identity orientation, or appearance. The head of the Human Rights Campaign said they would not back ENDA without the gender specification. And then it all turned to shit. Pardon my French.

I can’t dance.

And I sure as hell can’t sing. But, that doesn’t stop me from trying either when there’s a video camera around. Watch the video and then I’ll pull back the curtain, and give you some dirt on what happened backstage!

The “ga-ga” is for Lannie Rose, and how I’m “ga-ga” for her. The radio is for the notice that she’s going to be on it this week. Lannie is a former TGForum columnist who will be appearing to talk about her latest book.

An Online Auction Site For Us!

| Sep 18, 2007 | Reply

The problem with eBay is it’s just too big. I can’t shop there because I get tired of sorting through pages and pages of stuff that’s not what I’m looking for. Or, I get distracted by other things I’m not looking for, and end up forgetting what it was I was originally hunting.

Ten things to do if you’re not at SCC

The chat rooms are dead. Your IM list is empty. No-one is updating their MySpace page. Seems like every year about this time our Internet communities dry up. And why not? By some estimations, at least a quarter of a million crossdressers, transsexuals, drag queens, grrls, shemales, FTM’s, and admirers have descended upon Atlanta. And […]
