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

Just thought I'd let you all know about a really friendly polysexual bar (polysexual means all sexes and genders are welcome so the crowd is really mixed which is nice).
The Rabar is in Hounslow, West London, in a quiet residential area. There's usually parking outside. Whilst it's fun most nights, two Saturdays a month you'll find tranny DJs (second and fourth Saturdays to be precise) and it's then that most girls visit too.

Exactly, there's no especially tranny club. In "La Nogalera" Street, everybody is welcome. Gay, TV, CD, TS, hetero, homo, etc...; everybody.
Specially I recomend the next clubs: Emporio, Athenea, Malú, Parthenom, Passion, Morbo's and Brujas. There are many cool places too, but I cannot know them so well; Remember to visit those clubs and do not forget to look for me, ok?

Oh don't leave anything in your car in the Tower Thistle Car park - Mine was robbed - lost a laptop and video camera that were in the boot - thought as it was underground and video surveilance it would be OK - Not so. There is another Hotel almost next door to the Way Out - but I have forgotten the name - I'll try to track it down - nice hotel - but I don't know what the rates are - in the city and tucked away I suspect they are pretty good at the weekend. less

There is a Tranny night every wednesday (You are welcome at anytime altough you may be the only girl there), although numbers do vary, there are normaly about ten of us there. Its great if you fancy a quite drink or two and make a few new friends in the area. My only gripe is the changing facilitys which consist of the ladies toilets at the moment!. I try to be there most wednesdays so who knows i might see you there. less

The reactions from people are far more extreme than if you're just wearing the usual dress and heels.The walk through the village out into "straight town" is loads of fun.Churchills has a unisex loo, I walked in and there were a few couples talking...They gave me some grief, until they noticed my red riding crop....never seen 4 boys and 4 girls all go through the same door at the same time before! So get out on the streets in your most fun outfits, you'll be surprised at the reactions, not as bad as you think.Next time, second Saturday of the month......Irene less
