On the Road With Dr. Angello
Dr. Michele Angello reports on her travels. So much has happened over the last month and a half! Last month, I presented at the Trans-health Conference (THC) at the Philadelphia Convention Center.

Chat Survey?
Astra and I were in the chat room today and had two (count ’em, 2) chatters. We had a nice time but we’d like more interactions. So, what day and what hour works best for you all? We’ll come to a compromise based on the responses. Post your comments here. Once you are logged into […]
The Strange Case of The Mysterious Hose
When I look back on the past decades I can’t help but be amazed about the progress that has been made in the TG community. From back in the day when there was no actual TG community to the way things are now; The word transgender appears in newspapers, TG characters are on television, TGs […]
I was cleaning out some old computer files…
When I glanced at the date of this picture. Nearly two years ago. I had just moved to the Cincinnati area, and spent my day off with a friend taking some pictures with the city skyline in the background.
Transgender Planet
It’s been a busy week in the world, and it can be hard to keep up. Unless you’re dialing into TGForum News! We’ve got a major magazine selling our stories to the American reading public!

Eurovision Song Contest 2007 What a Drag!
In the past the Eurovision Song Contest has had drag performers win the top song. This year two queens made it to the top 28 of the semi-finals and only one has made it to the finals. Who are these lovely damsels? What countries do they represent? Who’s been eliminated and who has a chance […]
Brits Do A TV Reality Show — And You Can Be One of the TVs
The British television industry is always on the lookout for the next big “reality” show concept. (I quote because there’s not much that’s real about the genre.) Now they’ve hit upon an idea that gives us, trans-people, a chance to win a dream (?) job as the personal assistant to a drag-doing celebrity. Who you […]
What’s Really on Mencia’s Mind?
Self proclaimed “beaner” comedian Carlos Mencia has a show on Comedy Central. In the second season of his show he started to throw in some drag characters. Is it all in fun or is there a hidden side to Carlos… named Carlitta?
You Saw It In The New LadyLike — Here’s More in Digital Diner!
Aside from the wisdom I impart here at TGForum.com, I also write a column that appears in and in LL#69 (on newsstands now!) I wrote a couple of pieces that have a life beyond even my own indelible ink. I did a piece on a Pakistani woman who has her own TV talk show in […]

A major international GLBT event Equality Forum began in 1993 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as PrideFest Philadelphia, a non-profit organization hosting 15 regional organizations presenting programs on GLBT issues over the course of one weekend each year. In 2003 the organization, which had expanded its event to seven days, became Equality Forum to reflect the inclusion […]
The Magical Power of Panties… For real this time
What is it about them that makes them so powerful? You know what I’m talking about. Put on a pair, and you’re instantly relaxed. They’re just fabric. Or are they?
Transitioning LA Sports Writer Blogs
You’ve come a long way baby! Just a few short years ago someone who was changing gender didn’t transition— they disappeared. Today you blog about it.

We’ve Called In The Pixies
I boldly announced on the 23rd that you would be able to comment on any posting easily since I had used my magic wand to fix the complicated system we were operating with before then. Sadly Harry Potter done me dirty and sold me a defective wand. My frantic waving of said wand and muttered […]

Another Hollywood myth shattered…
Crocodile Dundee was on television recently, and as always, I try to time my viewing to coincide with one particular scene. It’s not that I don’t like the rest of the movie, it’s just that well, I kinda have a crush on one character. You’ve probably already guessed where I’m going with this. Yes, I’m […]
Where Are The Opinionated?
I check in with TGF pretty much every day since it’s my job to edit this thing and keep you, the readers, happy. At the moment I can only conclude that you’re all very happy with what we’ve been doing and you agree completely with everything we publish. I get that feeling because no one […]
Cosmetics for Men?
MSNBC.com had an article on cosmetics for men—and I don’t mean women’s cosmetics for transgendered men—in the April 19, 2007 edition. The article was written by Lauren Sherman. Her lead sentence began thusly: “Hey, men: Don’t be surprised if very soon your toiletry kit contains not only shaving cream, deodorant and toothpaste, but concealer, oil-absorbing […]
