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

Well I hope everyone has a wonderful day and dose not feel the Monday blues and just breezes through the day.

Dose anyone else want to confess to their worst scatty day? When you don’t understand why you did what you did and even worse had no idea you did it until you see again.
Well today is good as I have just loaded two more albums on to my ipod (my key to life Music) and they are Lily Allen “alright still and Desitiny’s Child “Survivor” two very cool albums. I think that is albums 62 and 63 on the ipod a girl can never have too much!!! Wink, wink.

Wow what a strange morning this is for me it is like I must be awake too be typing this message but I feel my mind is still asleep as I keep doing things again and again, because I do not remember the first time I did it. I have two bowls of cereal special k actually with milk and every thing but I don’t remember making the first bowl. I also have a fresh cup by the coffee pot yet I have a nice hot coffee by me now.
I think it is going to be one of those days????? So if I make no sense to day I guess is because my mind is still asleep and this is all a dream.
Well since Sara didn't start it off this morning that means I get to. So

Good Morning!!
A very windy & rainy morning here. But not so bad as it is Friday. Start of the weekend for most.
Not for me though. I was called into work early yesterday & found an electrical nightmare. A truck hit a power pole, the swinging lines caused back to back power surges. Everything has been fried.
So I will be very busy this weekend. But I will make good money which I realy need.
So I'm pretty happy about it.

It is like some times I can’t wait to be home and off work so that I can go shopping, out with my family and stuff like that; it totally recharges me for the next week. Well at least the first day or two of the week.
It is surprisingly warm out side today even at 5:15 in the morning, not thinking I just strolled out side to my car to get some ciggs in my baby doll ……dang I hope there was no on lookers…….wild hair and all going out this morning……

It is another chilly morning here in South Carolina, but for some reason today it feels refreshing you me and not just cold. Again it is early around 50 am here and my day is just starting there must be clouds in the sky even though I can see them because it is to dark. I just can’t see all the pretty stars today.
