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

Give me the guile and fortitude to conceal succesfully the bodies of the people I killed today for pissing me off.
Keep me mindful wonderrous god,, not to tread on the toes attached to the arses i might have to kiss tomorow.
Should I be tempted, remind me that a man is like mascara, first sign of emnotion and it runs.

All That I... moreJust a poem i wrote while i felt the inspiration.
All That I Ask.
==========
You think you can see me? as i open the door.
You think you can hear me? as i glance down at the floor..
Can you see me smile, did you know its a fake?
Did you feel my heart? did you know it could break.
Can you see me struggle? as i walk through this life..
Did you know i could hide it? when my heart starts to dive.
Do you think that you know me? the way i know you?
I know that youre hiding, because I'm hiding too...
Why do we hide this? Why play this dull game?
We punish ourselves, like criminals with shame!
I think im alive, I have feelings you see?
Now all that I ask... Please let Me be Me.

Was it luck? the right corner to turn.
These questions, the answers, i know not,
Wander, with wandering mind,
Moments never forgot.
In time past, no sense i make.
The flow of life, accross a silky lake.
But now, with age, like a tree of oak,
Wisdom and learning, visions evoke.

Is a bear a monster when is malls a child, it certainly is an monsterous creature, but that description is only accurate when a human sees it, the bear is only acting upon instinct it is only acting according to instinct.
Also a being that cannot comprehend morality cannot be a monster. A being that does somthing that is, by our standards, monsterous but does not comprehend how wrong it is, is not a monster, monsterous yes, but not a monster, this is why the idea of original sin is so very heavily ridiculed by acedemics. If a child was playing with a lighter and unknowingly killed people in a fire, if the child had no knowlage of fire or death the child would not be called a monster.
So only a sentient creature could ever be a real monster.
Morality and thus the defenition of monstrocity is entirly subjective. We don't call ourselves monsters when we poison termites, despite what the termites may... less

One day, after a large meal of berries and assorted rummaged trash collected by the male bears in their morning walk, the mother bear exclaimed, "Let's go for a family walk down the forest road."!!! "Yes" exclaimed the young male bear as he had his eyes on a female critter who was proving to be irresistable to his testosterone ladened self. The father bear agreed and they all set out for their walk. less

Maybe some on here still do, and it feels a very lonely place to be.
I want to show people they are not alone, and there is hope. today i am very accepting of who i am. i wont fight against it any more. I'm not sure the world is ready yet, nor my family, but i have a few very good friends who know, and accept, and that is the best feeling in the world.
I will write a few more over the next few weeks, reflecting who i am, how i feel. Happier ones lol. xx
Am i alone, is anyone there?
i need to reach out, and know that you care.
Day after day i spend staring to space,
from the mirrow i see, that pale blank face.
i dream of a land,
far far from here.
no existence of suffering,
or pain, or fear..

In a suitcase of regrets,
And at the time you say, you expected something more,
but you have to work for it.
In life you find, this always is the same,
and in love it`s also true.
Coz everyone, they have to suffer pain.
Yes you`ll find it`s not just you.
It`s a badge of honour, worn by some.
For all the world to see.
It holds no value, for all the things to come,
and it will never set you free.
And you carry all, that`s gone before.
In a suitcase of regrets
This wont help, for you to be restored
For passing reasons you reject......

To remain together while on this earth.
She will tear him to pieces as they grow behind closed doors no one will know.
She will fill his glass and make him drink to low to fight he will sink.
She will call him worthless and play with is mind bars of steel place him behind.
From her broken partner she will break free he is locked away no one can see.
Let her shine let him die time to reveal why you lie.
Let him go the one you wed in your mind he is dead.
For the evil deeds you will pay the torture of the past no breaking away.
Find your place hold head up high you had no choice to let him die.
Go lay your flowers on his grave the man whose life you did save.
From his grave words will reach you no band of gold no I do.
How strange a man with her inside always there by his side.
Take a gun put it to your head, father to a son he wants you dead.
If I took a life would you let me live? then your child you could forgive.

Writing is the representation of language in a textual medium through the use of a set of signs or symbols (known as a writing system). It is distinguished from illustration, such as cave drawing and painting, and non-symbolic preservation of language via non-textual media, such as magnetic tape audio.
Writing most likely began as a consequence of political expansion in ancient cultures, which needed reliable means for transmitting information, maintaining financial accounts, keeping historical records, and similar activities. Around the 4th millennium BC, the complexity of trade and administration in Mesopotamia outgrew human memory, and writing became a more dependable method of recording and presenting transactions in a permanent form. In both Ancient Egypt and Mesoamerica writing may have evolved through calenderers and a political necessity for recording historical and environmental events. The oldest... less

Thought you'd like to see the latest of my books to come off the presses. OK, so they're not tg themed but i am very happy with them.

To start this out Mr. Fat Chin is just an ordinary guy, working a labor job in a machine shop reading a computer to run the machine. You know the one that nothing happens to. Day in day out, same same. Well read what happens to him this one day. Oh lets skip the formalities and just call him Fat.
Fat’s alarm goes off like normal,day in day out work day. He groggily rolls to the side of the bed and puts his feet on the floor and runs his feet over to find his slippers. He shuts off the alarm clock before the buzzer changes over to play his programmed song by Dolly Parton “ Working 9 to 5”. As he does that he tips over the water glass on the the night table sweeping his glasses to the floor. Fumbling to see through his sleepiness and blindness. He says oh this is great. He flops back down on the bed and recoups his thoughts. This is not happening today he thinks in his mind.
As he lays there, for what he thought was a... less
