  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.

  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
