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

But omg it is very chilly here this morning I almost didn’t want to get out of bed.

I hope this finds you all well rested from a wonderful long lay in, oh dear that was not for me “boo hoo” I am up and getting ready for a day in work.
At least the weather here in SC has cooled down a little and things are nice and cool in the mornings. With the start shining brightly and I have to say I love this time of the year.

Mid week is here and we heading for the weekend ……and for once in my life that is a big boo hoo because my mummy will be going home to England this weekend. Omg it has been a fun couple of weeks so far I have loved her being here and I wish she could stay but she has to get home.
It is a nice cool morning here in SC and the stars and moon are shining brightly well I guess they would be for 50am on an autumn morning.
I hope every one has a wonderful day

A father asked his 10-year old son if he knew about the birds and the bees.
'I don't want to know,' the child said, bursting into tears. 'Promise me you won't tell me.'
Confused, the father asked what was wrong.
The boy sobbed, 'When I was six, I got the 'There's no Easter Bunny' speech. At seven, I got the 'There's no Tooth Fairy' speech. When I was eight, you hit me with the 'There's no Santa' speech. If you're going to tell me that grown-ups don't really get laid, I'll have nothing left to live for.' less

I am happy to say yes it is a good morning and today is the first day that all my fears of losing contact with my mum have totally disappeared. We have spent the last couple of days just sitting and talking about where my future is going and although she dose not like the pending surgeries and hates the fact that she does not live close enough to me to help day by day. She accepts that this is the best thing for me to do and supports my decision “YES SUPPORTS”. Omg I am so relieved and happy I can’t even describe it.
So here is the morning update on SC it is the nicest place in the world today full of love and happiness. The moon is out, the sky is dark, and the havens are full of stars smiling down on me.
Love to you all

I have to admit to getting a little nervous now it is only two days till my mummy gets here from England. There has been much discussion over the last two years about the direction my life is going and will go but now it is almost time for to put her word into practice. Omg I hope this is not going to be a drama. As well as mummy my brother is coming omg I am starting to get nervous. I so hope I am making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Well I hope everyone has a wonderful day and everything goes your way.

Thank goodness Monday has passed as I feared the couple of days off which I must say I really enjoyed basking in the love and fellowship of my friends at SCC made every terrible moment of the Monday catch up more than worth while. Pushing projects back up to speed and running from meeting to meeting was hectic but I would do it over again in a heart beat.
Well the weather in SC is decidedly cooler these last couple of days and for me that is a god sends as the hot, hot weather certainly takes it out of me. “I know what your saying move then you silly bit**” but this is where my family was born and raised so I would never pressure them to move.
The week can only get better for me now as my mummy is coming to see me this weekend all the way from England. Woo Hoo lucky me.
Talking to much again !!!!!!! love ya have a great day
