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

Once again I'm a little depressed by the tired old face that I see,
Once again it is time to be someone, who's anyone other than me.
With the rare combination of girlish excitement and manly restraint,
I position my precious assortment of pencils and powders and paint.
So whenever I feel that my place in the world is beginning to crash,
I apply one great stroke of Mascara to my rather limp upper lash.
And I can cope again, Good God! There's hope again!
When life is a real bitch again, and my old sense of humor has up, and gone
It's time for the big switch again, I put a little more Mascara on.
When I count my crow's feet again, and tired of this perpetual marathon,
I put down the john-seat again, and put a little more Mascara on.
And ev'rything's sparkle dust, bugle beads,... less

Terrible day Sunday with all kinds of things going wrong, but back here now and it doesn't bother me. I just enjoyed girl-fashion watching. One asian woman, not particularly pretty, knew how to dress and looked very hot! All in black, heels, trousers, boatneck long sleeve black top with black bra straps showing, and of course, she was brunette. This woman looks in the mirror before she goes out. Wanted to tell her but her husband was there. She must have been over 40 but....wow.

First let me start off this thread by thanking you all for being there for me. While my heart may still be broken, I have to look ahead. I'n trying to do that now.
Sunday is technically the start of a new week. So I wish all of you a very happy day, and a lovely week.
The weather here today is beautiful, I'm listening to New Age music on the radio, and I feel a sense of peace I haven't had in a while.

You can tell your grandchildren that you were there the day Wendy Larsen jumped and screamed in the Good Morning forum. I'll throw in a squeal or two for good measure. Why? I found "The Dress" and it's been a long time since anything has made me this excited and pleased. I don't have to worry about having a formal gown after this.........
:-D Ginger Rodgers, eat your heart out! I'm glad Meridith isn't after my wardrobe, whew.
I hope you all have just as good a day as I have had. Just goes to show you, it's ALWAYS a good day to go SHOPPING! less

I've been dealing with a lot this year. Haven't posted much on Good Morning. Today is different. Things seem "right" in my life. Almost ready to jump up and down screaming Feel that good.
Thanks to all the sisters who helped me out, directly or indirectly , aware and unaware, this week. I think I'll just rest here on this ledge until I catch my breath. There's another one up above, and the climb looks as scary as the last one....well, not quite as scary. They never will be again. less

Again, I have returned from a somewhat disastrous weekend, somewhat nice weekend. I'm too tired to jump and shout because I had to drive the whole way back and then teach a long night class. But I hope you all have a great day. My kid is off of school this week so I'm taking her to the Art Institute of Chicago (free day on Tuesday), then meeting my wife for lunch.
My being TG is starting to come to another point. But more on that later. Enjoy your day!

The trip was not all that wonderful. I admit I did something stupid, but, yet, other times it was just not fun. Some of it was. I somewhat wish I just stayed home.
