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. Of course... less

I had joined a couple of "straight" dating sites where the only option for gender was the binary "M" or "F". I'd check "F" but in my profile mention that I was a special girl with a little something different down below. I left it at that as far as being a trans woman while creating an interesting profile designed to attract an inteligent, well rounded, but open minded person.
I was very surprised at the number of men who reached out to me that actually understood just who I was and stated that they were very interested in learning more about me and wished to meet up, a typical response in a binary world. In further communication, quite a few expressed that they were totally fine with dating a passable trans woman while some fit into that "admirer" or even "chaser" mode as described in the thread earlier. Throughout our communication, I make it clear that I'm not your typical girl but do not say I'm trans unless they bring it... less

I am a french Tgirl at the beginning of my transition, living at the west coast, near the ocean but far from her (i know she will recognize herself). I hope you won't be too crual with me and my poor english, but school is so far away from me, and i hope to find answers for my new life.
That's all for the moment (i'm a shy girl)...by the way, my name is Carolyne...glad to meet you.

My name is Violet Gray and I'm from Baltimore, Maryland. What to say about me... um... crap.. Uh let's see..
um... anyway, how are you doing? I haven't seen you in for EVER! Nice wig, where'd you get it?
OH YEAH, I can be sort of random, and I like to upload bizarre videos on Youtube. I have an obsession with purple (the name Violet was given to me by other people)
Uh.. what else.. I like dresses... and anything mint.. but I'm more likely to wear the dresses...

It really became apparent after many purges that I was meant to be female, not male. I loathe those dangly things between my legs. I have been married twice, my most recent wife suddenly passed away. She was tolerant of my needs. We were almost more like girlfriends. Now that I'm alone, I indluge myself to my heart's content. I can be me at last.
Well Hello and welcome to our little corner of the web. I'm sure you'll get along fine with most of the members here. and stop by the chatroom when you can.

So I hope everyone here will join me and give her a nice welcome. She is early on in her transition but looks great and each week I see her at church her confidence is growing. And I suppose for those who wonder about me, you can now ask someone else about me who actually knows me in person.

I am new here and wish to get in contact with other people in similar situations. I am going to post my profile info in here, since it's a basic introduction. =)
I am a bisexual woman in my twenties. I am very feminine. I would describe myself as being a transsexual boy in a woman's body. I have a hard time with my very confusing condition, it leaves me feeling lonely. I have a great boyfriend who supports me, but I still feel deeply wrong and unfulfilled. I hope to feel somewhat at home here, and find a place where I can just be whoever/whatever I am. I guess I am looking for something I can't put my finger on.
If someone would want to be my "pen-pal" then please do write. =) less

I'm 23 years old, and I'm just now at a place where I can start exploring and expanding on a part of me that's been put in a box and shoved in the basement for a good 10 years and I've only just been able to open it again in these past six months. And it's been an explosion these past six months but hopefully things, and myself, are starting to settle so that thinking straight is an actual viable action. What a crazy thought. And maybe I'll be able to get my head pointed in the right direction (and for your convenience there's two nice handles on the sides of my head that are great for pointing my head where it needs to go).
I have a story, as we all do I'm sure, and if you really want to hear it, you're welcome to ask, but the parts I'll tell you before I know you will probably be a lot like everyone else's, and the parts that I won't tell you..... well, that'll probably require a lot of trust.

Now i don't go out of my way to look mega convincing, but i'm slim and have been told i have a feminine face with high cheekbones. I haven't got the make-up down just yet, i tend to put far too much lippy and blusher on. I'm tall with very long legs, and even though as i say i'm not that convincing i don't have any trouble attracting admirers.
Now my problem, not even sure if it is a problem, is the guys i attract. Not sure if anyone else has this problem? When i started dressing i thought it would be gay guys who went for me, but it's not. The guys who go for me tend to all say their straight. Now is this normal? I mean recently i had an argument one morning with a guy that really annoyed me, all i did was ask him if he was bi or gay. He looked horrified and said he was straight. Now bearing in mind we'd spent the night having sex (nothing to write home about), i thought how the hell can you say you're straight? I... less

When I'm dressed, I like to look 'office smart'. NEVER TARTY. And my skirts are always calf length. I'm a rather concersative dresser. That's the woman I am.
