We had to change the name because the word ‘tranny’ became increasingly toxic and we had to change our rickety old software because the developers would no longer support it.
I vaguely remember we had asked the existing members to come up with a new name and Gender Society won. I think a lot of our members at the time wanted us to distance our community from the other cattle market sites out there so we needed to sound more respectable.Trannyweb was a busy and vibrant community though (started in 1999) with lots of people online at any one time. The forums were the jewel in the crown as you can see from the huge number of threads and forum posts (which by the way, are still available today).
The transition to The Gender Society took place in 2011. Unfortunately, a lot of the long-time regulars who used to be permanently logged in, didn’t like the change... less

Gender variant (trans or transgender) people are relatively rarely seen in GP surgeries. Many GPs say that they lack the knowledge to treat those experiencinggender variant conditions and, consequently, they are not confident to do so.The first part of this publication provides an overview of care for trans people that is particularly applicable to GPs. Hormone therapy is central to transgender primarycare, and issues such as assessment and diagnosis are also relevant to general practice. These topics are discussed in greater detail in Annexes C and D. Clinical care for gender variant people should be provided within a framework of good practice that emphasises patient autonomy, allows for the wide variety of needs among trans people and is flexible in its clinical responses to those needs. It should also take account... less

I just wished you were in the states to give such accurate content, but then under this current administration and political conflict I think you might find it quite egregious,
There was a time in the states when we were moving in a very positive direction, sadly we have faltered and at best stagnated our trans direction.

When Trannyweb became the Gender society I gathered a few people to become site moderators lovely helpful team, keeping the site clear of trolls, keeping the home page clear of sleaze and wiping out literally 1000's of spams. Shame that when I stepped back from heading up that team due to studying and work I was unable to devote as much attention as the site needed many of the site and forum mods just seemed to vanish, lose interest. I will always remember some advice Katie gave mewhen in the early days of being a mod, I was verbally abused, it upset me and I threatened to leave,Katie said if someone on your land line gives you grief, do you cut your phone off.

The longer after puberty hormone therapy is started, the less effective it is--but not a linear scale, e.g., results are considerably more dramatic in an 18 year old than a 28 year old, but results are not on the average dramatically different between a 38 year old and a 48 year old.
The following effects have been observed in varying degrees--anywhere from little to moderate--with extended treatment. With effective and continuous dosages, most of the changes that a particular body is genetically prone to start within 2 to 4 months, will start leveling off somewhat within 2 years, and be mostly done within 5 years. The leveling may take longer if the testes are not removed. High levels of estrogen will cause faster development up to a point, but not better results in the long term than moderate levels of estrogen..
Fertility decreases. Sperm count drops rapidly. Sometimes it returns to almost normal if hormonal treatment is... less

One particular one, a bit of an enigma, but if I was'nt already in love with someone, I could so easily become attached to him.

I'm Travis, a 45 year old bisexual guy from Coldwater, Michigan. I'm a big admirer of the transgender community and how the members have stood up and said, "We're here. Deal with it." Now, as for those so-called "bathroom laws," they make me sick. When will discrimination - in WHATEVER form, for WHATEVER reason - come to an end? I love making friends and maybe, just maybe, I can meet someone special here. I look forward to hearing from you. Drop me a line. less

I am a straight guy, always have been, I get loads of straight sex and that's all fine. I have always had an attraction to trans though, and now its got to the point where I get extremely turned on just thinking about things. I am looking for a TG/TV/TS to maybe explore certain things with.. I am from Birmingham, UK, and I have only ever tried pulling females, I wouldn't feel comfortable going to a gay club as one of my friends suggested, just because its only the trans that I would be after. Whenever I do a search online all it comes up with are TV escorts. I have never used an escort and don't really fancy the idea of it to be honest. So my question is, how exactly do I discreetly find a tran who would be interested?
Kind Regards,
Adam x less

I want to apologize to you all (and anyone I've left out - I'm old and the memory is going...), I came here with a very negative attitude towards "Admirers" based on my experences elsewhere. My bias.
Just as this is a very special site for TGs, so are the men I've met here. You are all delightful, warm people and you have been total gentlemen when I've encountered you in the chatroom or the forums. Sorry if my suspicions made me seem rude.
Best to you all, and thank you for being here.

Lost track of number of rewsponses I've had to personal ad in which I stated I was pre-op. Invariably when I said surgery was my aim the responce was Oh no Keept it!
Then on the BBC Sex Change series most of the so-called TS were in fact CD/TV homosexual. Listen to their chat about keeping and enjoying their male bits.

This website concentrates on supporting individuals living with, dealing with and coping with feelings of being transgendered. It is a very good support site and somewhere where transgendered individuals can communicate mostly free from outside prejudices. As you can appreciate our day to day life can often include intolerance, bigotry and sexual abuse due to ignorance.
If your purpose is primarily to seek a sexual experience, then unfortunately, this site wouldn’t provide you with any success. You can alternatively access gay sites such as tvchix where there are an abundance of gay men who dress up as women solely for the purpose of sexual encounters. However, please feel free to read archives and blogs to learn an understanding of the nature of transgendered people and we look forward having you as part of our community.

I think over the past couple of years, we've covered off all the questions about what makes us guys tick... and it's been great to engage you all in this debate of 'understanding'.
Now my turn to ask a question:
What does this guy have to do to find Miss Right?
I'm too busy to get on here as much as I used to; that means I lose regular contact; which means I stop going out; which means I start feeling like a hermit. Do I need to lighten up on work; or is there someone out there that understands that I'm married to my career?

If anyone in our Community lacks accurate sources of information on their proclivities, it is admirers. This article, the first full-article I have seen in the media, does a pretty good job of providing basic information about generally misunderstood sexuality.

I am a 2nd year photographic student studying at the university of wales. I am currently doing a project brief that is entitled photography as power and control the main aspects of the project are looking at how our society is voyeuristic. The project is about watching and not being seen and the fear and pleasure that comes from admiring something we wish to be apart of or fantasize about. Since I have started photography I have been interested in looking at inner-communities that we all know about but many of us choose to ignore or pretend we have no interest in, I am really fascinated with transgender communities and I am very interested in looking at and focusing my project around transgender culture just purely observing and documenting this place that many of us know and judge but do not actually allow ourselves to be fully informed of. I fully intend for the project to be an insight to what you are as a community and will have no negative or positive direction to it. I purely... less
