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

I'm currently living in Europe, but am planning
to move to Brisbane once I scrape enough cash to do so
amongst things like FFS & other surgeries. I've heard many
good things of Brisbane in terms of trans acceptance.
I would like to hear the perspectives of the Australian MtFs.
Honestly, the only thing that concerns me is my safety &
I acknowledge that I much like my mother am paranoid,
but my resoning goes as follows: if people accept ones such
as myself the chances of getting assaulted are reduced significantly,
because as acceptance increases so does tolerance.
Life's already too difficult without having to look behind
one's shoulder all the time. less

As a result, I find myself in need of a new place to live. However, this will not be easy. I don't have a proper job, I don't have a lot of money and I have OCD. I'm terrified about going into a share house with people that I don't know, especially being trans. It wouldn't be so bad if I could find something with other trans people as at least we'd all be going through similar things. Because of the OCD, I'd prefer a pet free, child free, smoke free, reasonably clean place. Because I have quite a lot of stuff, I need a certain amount of room. I also need a certain level of security. All of these things shouldn't be too much of a problem...until I factor in that I can really only afford $100-$150 per week (and I could only afford the $150 if all bills were included in that price).

I have struggled since arriving in Sydney to find shoes for my larger feet. Part of the trouble is I have wide feet so where a normal womens size 11 would fit for length they simply don't have the width. I ordered some running shoes from Pauls Warehouse online last week and when they arrived I'm pleasantly surprised at how comfortable they are. These are a womens size 12. I have to warn that it's not advisable to go to a store at least not the one I went to as the assistant wouldn't look for even an 11 she said "we don't have any that big try a mens size" Anyone want to guess which store sent my size 12?
There are some branches of Payless Shoes also now stocking 12's as well so I thought we could all post shops that sell larger shoes and share the info with others less

I am self medicating with hormones from Canida. I am currently on Estrace 2mg 3 times a day and Progesterone micronized 100mg once daily.
Any recommendations on hormone regimes or other methods to encourage nipple growth.

From out of nowhere came a woman who was more than happy to spend the night showing me how to get the most out of becoming the womam I seem destined to be.
I have had my battles in the past but now I look forward to the many opportunities that lay ahead.
Not least of all, the opportunity to be happy.
I think the greatest challenge for me, as 2013 begins, is my weight and figure.
Since starting Hormone Treatment (HT) several years ago my bust has moved from 39.5 inches to 44 inches or 100cm to 112cm. My hips/buttocks have shifted from 40 inches to 42 inches or 101cm to 106.5cm.
I don't have any hair issues because even at my age there are no signs of balding.
So this year I need to adopt a hair style that suits me.
I have had considerable work done on my face and therefore the remaining sessions should bring about a pleasing result.
Again, this year I need to adopt a... less

Torquay(?) ,Victoria.She seems,by her own admission,to be completely out of her depth with her transition,going full-time,hormones etc.It sounds very much to me as though she seriously needs somebody to take her under their wing and give her a guiding hand.On YouTube she posts under the name of
Ethereal Kingdom..................in real life Tegan......any of you know her,or got the time and inclination to keep an eye out for her?
Good on yer,girls!
