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

Up until then my only "role model" had been Danny La Rue.Watch it if you can, although I haven't seen it around for ages.

It means "My life in pink" and it is about a young TS boy wanting to be a girl. Its a really good movie and I remembered things about when I was a kid. Go rent it!!// Jo

When she runs into the young man who was her best friend in prep-school (set in England) the real storyline develops. In a nutshell, she must decide to publically reveal her past in court to save her friend from a wrongful arrest ~ which most certainly will result in the loss of her job and public humiliation. Excellent movie. Great storyline and seriously honest dialog. Fantastic ending. Two thumbs-up (with pearly-pink nails). less

Basic plot is a about a your boy in the midst of the Miners strike, who finds himself more drawn to learn ballet dancing than the boxing classes he is attending Boxing. His tallent is recognised by the local ballet teacher played brilliantly by Julie Walters, who secretly coaches him. The transgendered element in the film is quite small. Billy has a young friend Michael (I think), who is clearly on the road to transsexualism and becomes progressively more feminine and pretty throughout the film.The film deals with the kind of prejudices we all have to face as transgendered (or gay or just plain different)and setting these very feminine qualities in boys against the back drop of rough masculine violence of the miners strike creates great tension as these macho men have to deal with the issues. I was a bit miffed by the the final scene though where Billy is... less
