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

If like me you have been searching for a really good pair of sexy, comfortable and yet practical tights you will know how expensive it gets trying to find ones that match all these criteria. I have bought loads of different brands, been embarrassed in a big department store when a shop assistant made me put my hands in samples to look at the colour and style and have also bought mail order. I found that I liked the colour mocha but the only decent pair I could find were very expensive and dreaded laddering them which I did often and ended up spending even more money buying replacements. Then my wife started to order them from a company called Silkies ( has anyone tried them?) which were delivered to the door and she gave me a few pairs. Well I found them really nice, well fitting and very comfortable. So when we split I decided to buy some myself. I have been really pleased with the choice of styles and can really recommend their Lacy Hi-Cut panty ones which are pretty and allow me to see my... less

I'm somewhat of a virgin at this point and want it to be relatively pleasant (well at least not too painful given the process.)

They do shoes, dresses, and wigs as well. Their delivery is very discreet. They quote prices in a range of prices so I guess that they deliver overseas.
The other is www.MidnightExpress.co.uk. This is a much more expensive site...it's all by named designers...but they look FANTASTIC. I guess you would feel special in these. I havn't used them. The site is treat in it's self.

I have bought from here on many occasions and find that their bras are well made and fit well - especially with breastforms - but that may just be the style I bought. I have a lovely silk chemise from here . Not a cheap site but do have the occasional bargains. Also do hosiery.

Order their catalogue to get some fantastic ideas though this will only scrap the surface of what they have to offer. Even if you are not buying the site is a real turn on to look at . I know many of you buy from Tranny stores because the undies fit our "special" needs better, but I like to wear undies that are designed for woman as I love wearing woman’s clothes not men’s . Beware Huit though as this particular brand comes up smaller than the normal sizes - I wear size 14 (UK) panties but the shorties I bought were quite tight! You will be told of the various bargain deals if you subscribe to their email letter.
Delivery in the UK is quick and the packets are not too indiscreet.

They cater for all sizes of women (and you can get stockings for the taller girl ) and have loads of great designs and makes - a favourite of mine is La Perla which are just incredibly soft. The La Perla tights are not cheap though and you should avoid what I did and ladder a pair just after first putting them on ! You can find bargains on this site for the budget conscious ladies amongst us and if you subscribe to their email postings will be pointed in the right direction what ever your needs. I have bought so many tights and stockings from here and love my new stringers (a large fishnet design that go over your normal tights) - lovely.
They deliver within the UK in a few days and the packets are discreet.

there is a remote possiblity that I might get to travel to Boston with work and i was wondering if anyone knows where I might go shopping for TG stuff. I've noticed a couple of websites that advertise super soft breast forms at about $150 for US customer but they're about $250 for any other customers with tax. Is there anywhere I could walk into in Boston and buy & preferably try on first, breast forms, bras, dresses etc...
any pointers would be greatly appricated and hopefully I'll get the opportunity to make use of them.

I seem to remember going into Boots a few years ago and they had three ranges of frames - mens, womens and trannies, sorry I mean unisex! I don't know if they still do the same.Lisa
