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

Very ugly day yesterday, cold, rainy, windy. Todays not looking to be much better.
So lets see what we can do to make it nicer!!
A very flat chested TG finally decided she needed a bra and set out to the mall in search of one in her size.
She entered an upscale department store and approached the saleslady in lingerie, "Do you have a size 28AAA-AAA-AAA bra?"
The clerk haughtily replied in the negative, so Twiggy left the store and proceeded to another department store where she is rebuffed in much the same manner.
After a third try at another department store in the mall, she had become disgusted. Leaving the mall, she drove to K-Mart. Marching up to the sales clerk, she unbuttoned and threw open her blouse, yelling, "Do you have anything for this?"
The lady looked closely at her and replied, "Have you tried Clearasil?" less

I hope you are all well and in good spirits this fine morning, I hope life is being good to you; well as much as it can be at least.
It’s Thursday so what dose that mean you ask? Well it means tonight is therapy, tomorrow is laser treatment and best of all it means Friday night dance club night. Thank goodness for Friday nights they just make the week worth while.
Then comes a weekend to rest and relax what more could a girl ask for?
It is a nice cool morning here in South Carolina it must be over cast as it looks so dark outside this morning. I think we are going to get rain today but that is ok at least the flowers get a drink.

Here in SC it is quite cool this morning with a nice soft breeze passing through the woods up to my house, bringing a nice earthy and woody scent in my window the beauty of Mother Nature’s world.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful day and are happy the whole day long.

Very cold this morning. Was doing my wash yesterday & had it been a little colder I would have gotten a partial sex change walking to the laundry room.

I can't believe that it's been over a month since anyone said "Good Morning". The last time was on the 8th January. Sara Lynn Baker sent a Good Morning message but did not receive a reply.
There was a time, just a few months back, when this was a busy daily thread. In fact, so much so, that we even gave it its own forum.
We had a core of regular posters then and just a year or so back, the forums were vibrant and full of life.
What has happened since then? Why are our forums now dying and what can we do to save them?
