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

Over the past 24hrs, I've been watching the preparations/safety measures/evacuations getting under way for the "arrival" of Hurricane Gustav.
Whilst, on this side of "the pond", we're blessed with hurricanes being a rare occurence, it seems to be an almost regular event for you in the US.
Are any of you being directly effected by Gustav?
Hopefully not, but if you are, I hope and pray that everything passes safely for you, and that you don't have too much damage/losses to your homes, etc.

How many left-handed TW members are there?
Reason for asking. I'm left-handed and it does cause me trouble at times. For example: carving knives are honed for the other-handed people. Land line phones are wired wrong. The pens for signing the thingy on credit card swipers is set up wrong too.
Forget about Mere's anarchist revolt - Lefties arise!

Has anyone been anywhere in these three countries that the rest of us in these three countries might like to visit?
For example: I finally got to see the coast of Maine - not all of it but some - it was very different from my previous travel experiences.
Since this is the USA forum - nothing against our sisters across the pond---I did include Canada and Mexico. Many Americans go into Canada during their vacation and the same can be said for Mexico. I'm certain Canadian and Mexicans visit places I'd love to see. Plus they don't have their own forum. less

Just got be from New England, the people there were having 80+ and were suffering (beer supply was hit hard). Even in the Rockies temperatures are 80+.
Question: How are you coping? Do you take cold showers-run around nude-hang out at the pool? Or have you become creative? Would you like to share your method?

Tell us - if you will- do you like to take a vacation during the summer or during the winter?
Then again some like to take many long weekends and spread their vacation time over the entire year.
No need to divulge and details, just when and for how long?

I was curious as to if there was anyone here from / living in Kentucky or any surrounding states?
I'm also curious if there are any Christians here?
I'm sorry this is so short, I don't know what to say really. I just wanted to know if there was anyone in my area. Also, does anyone want a penpal? Email or snail mail don't matter to me. I like to write to friends.

The holidays are over. Some areas of this country are settling down for "the long winter's nap" while other areas (like Texas) are having spring breezes or possibly even flooding(I hope not).
Besides the politics on TV - what else is happening?
For myself I had to put the stocking away and apply the tanning cream to my shaved legs this past weekend. Crazy weather here.
Does anyone out there have anything to offer?
My fear is that without any posting on the USA forum, it may be updated and eliminated.....and I'd be out of a job.....boo hoo.
