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

It can be very overpowering when it's just you. *kisses* less

My name is Alexis, and I am currently a resident of the fair state of Nevada and I am current living here in Vegas. Only a few months ago, I finally broke down the walls I had put up around myself and admitted to myself and others that I am Transgender. My regret is that I had not done so sooner in my life... However, that is niether here nor there, the past is past. What is important now, is how I live currently, and that is honestly. To myself and those around me. Renewed and awakened with new life, I have stepped forth on the beginning steps to be who I actually have always been, just buried under the surface. I have been on HRT for a few months and am looking to start electrolysis as soon as I am able.
Just to let me let my feelings be known, It is my joy to be here and a pleasure to meet you all. Might, I hope our time together yield great rewards to us all,

Essentially I am a Japanese woman or sure as hell yell like one lol! I spend 12 years in the USAF as a fighter jock flying f-16C's and later the F-22. Got divorced while in the USAF (good riddance!) and been single since. A few years ago while I was discovering my new self I was diagnosed having gynecomastia (Yas I was I have B cups!) at a time I was thinking should I transition and just discovering myself so I took it as a sign from the gods (I practice Shinto) that I should transition and been on that path since. I am enjoying the new people I am meeting and hope meaningful friendships can develop.

This is all very new to me, as to actually finding a community of people I can express and relate with, about a side of my life that has been hidden from the public, including freinds and family. It just seems nice to be able to communicate my inner desires as to be a woman, with another person other then myself. I'm happy to have found and be apart of your community, and I want to wish you all well in your own journey!

Just on here looking for some girlie friends to message or get together, dress, talk and maybe go out and about. Im really new to this as ive been trying to fight my dressing for ages but without success. I think ive been trying to catagorise myself so I can fit in with what others seem to want me to be, but that didnt work, basically becuase everyone wants different things and none of them are what I want. So sod 'em im gonna be what i want to be....just I dont know who that is yet. hmmm anyway message me to say hi or whatever and ill try and get back to you as soon as poss. DD x less

I've been crossdressing for 40 years now, and have only come to fully appreciate my uniqueness in that regard within the last 12 years. That's when I started searching on the internet for others like me. Six years ago I've come out to my wife as Monica and she went nuts taking me to stores to help me buy lots of new and exciting lingerie and clothing. I wear my new clothing everyday and every second I can but I don't go outside so much as I like. Sometimes I go to shop alone, enfemme, delightful. Last spring my wife and I spent a week in London with me in full fem mode, day and night. I have a quite good voice and I think I pass very well . I LOVE to dress up but I don't want any surgery because I like being a guy when I'm a guy. I've got the best of both worlds!
Hmm, well I just joined the site since it looks like the kind of place i've been looking for for awhile now and I don't know what else to really type up sooooo Hi!

This part of me has been there for a long time, but I have been pushing it away out of fear. I am glad to see I am not alone and I hope that I can meet some people here who I can learn from and learn to accept myself. Thanks! :)

I'm not usually very good at the introduction thing, so wish me luck.
I am a twnety year old homosexual man who is caged in the body of a woman. I know, it may be a little confusing, but all of you here will probably have an easier time understanding me than anyone else.
Though my interests are wide and vast, I'm not really sure where to start on saying what I like and dislike, so please, feel free to ask me any and all questions. I will be more than happy to answer. I know I can be shy at first, so I appologize if I seem kinda stand-off-ish. I'm really an open person, just a little gun shy, y'know?
Again, feel free to ask me anything, or talk to me about anything. I'm willing to be the ear to listen or the shoulder of comfort if you need it, or if you simply want to chat about random little things, then that is fine as well!

I'm Keira and I'm just starting my trans journey, I'm currently seeing a gender therapist and have started electrolosis on my face, Unfortunatly I can't begin HRT for a while yet because I happen to be in the military... One that only recently allowed gay members and is quite far away from excepting TG's :-/. But I do my best to stay in shape and eat right along with all the other things I do to look Girly. Worst case, I'll be 29 when I can finally start HRT so Im being patient. I have an incredablly supportive wife who is all about my transision (I knew she was at least a little gay ;-p) and several friends that are really supportive too. All this being said, I feel really blessed to be in this situation that is so difficult for so many and have the support structure that I have. But anywho that's keira right now in a nut shell :-) hope to talk to you girls soon!! less
