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

I know that alot of you when travelling, can find it hard to find hotels, etc., that you KNOW are TV/CD friendly.
So, although I've no personal knowledge of this B&B in Galway City, all reports that I've heard of it have been "Glowing" !!
It's called "Side by Side" B&B, and is in Galway City, in the West of Ireland. It advertises as being a "female-only" B&B, and is run by two women, who, when they were approached recently, as to whether a group of TV/CD's might be welcome for the weekend, they were only too happy to accomodate them.
They also organised "Tranny-friendly" taxis for them into and back from the City Centre for their night-out.
Also, a venue in Galway City Centre that is "Tranny-friendly" is Twirley's (Bar/Disco Venue).
Hope this info helps anyone thinking of visiting Galway.
For those who don't know Galway well, it's a vibrant city for entertainment and "craik" !!

The Ballrooms opened in 1913 as a picture house and then during the 1950's re-opened as the most beautiful London Ballroom with a maple wood sprung floor and plush red velvet walls. The ceiling is adorned with crystal chandeliers and some of the biggest chinese laterns you will ever see.
The Ballrooms warmth and beauty makes this a truly night to remember and the ideal location for a unique TV club of glamour, fun and fantasy.
Time to fess up..... A few girls from Transmission Chat room, that Is Me, Debbie trickett and Lolly (the loud one) are putting to gether a new club in Birmingham.
we wanted to judge the inital response so we put out a few 'feelers' so to speak to see how many peeps would be intrested.....
Anyway, we are hoping to open Late november, we have stared a Yahoo group:
http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/ClubPegusus/ and please feel free to join only if is to complte the polls!
We decided on Birmingham, as it is the middle of the country and we DO NOT want to be any kind of completition for TX. TX was and hopefully will be the brightest club on the whole TG scene, in fact we would like to be a sister club to it if such a thing exists.
The plan is to have a monthly night November and December and then fingers X move to fortnightly, it all depends on how many girls (and boys ) we can get to come along. There... less

It only opened a few months ago and its on the south side of the town, just opposite the main Hospital.
Its a light and spacious, open plan bar and the staff and customers are very friendly and quite used to seeing Transgender people.
There is a covered area outside with patio heaters for the smokers amongst us and the car park nearly always has spaces in it too. Last weekend I drove to the pub and Chris and Bradley were quite happy for me to leave it over night and collect it the next day, after a shopping trip in town.
Every night we have been in there, its been memorable for all the right reasons. Its a lovely friendly place to go for a bit of social networking of an evening. Then if you fancy somewhere more clubby, Jumping and loud, the Barley Mo is only a £4 taxi ride away. Or a walk up through the town centre if your feeling up to it.
Heels and weather permitting naturally. less

I'm sorry if admirers are frowned upon, or seen as a bit wierd, but I just wanted some advice. I am in my late 30's and looking to possibly have a night or two in Manchester before I hit the big 40! I am totally naive to this sort of thing but really hope to make it happen. I live in Manchester, and to be frank, wouldn't really want to be spotted in the village -job etc- but I realise that this is where I probably will have to go to meet some girls.
Can anyone recommend a place where as a single male I wouldn't be treated with distaste or feel out of place?

Basically you can be safe almost anywhere in Reguliersdwaarstraat (main gay street). I especially love Saturninos restaurant and they love me coming (tell them Mandy sent you).
Other places to go are:
Cafe Sluitjes (drag show at small restaurant seats about 30). Probably not a placve to go on your own.
Same Place (night club for fetish fans which has dark room but action happens in main room downstairs too). Minimum bar bill (15 Euros I think) applies but no entry fee.
Mariposa shop (quite a way out of time and recommended for shy girls) - There is a dressing service and makeup with a coffee lounge as well as shop (see http://www.mariposa.nu/hosa.html for English description).
