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..

.. took about 4 secs on my 1meg Broadband connection, I like the neater, cleaner drop downs. However it does have to re-draw the screen everytime I re-size the window that it's in. Also, if you resize below a certain size then thing start to overlap in a weird way. I guess there's a way we could stop that by having a fixed minimum size to maintain the integrity of the design.

I noticed a sour impression on their face, but I gave them one of my sweetest smiles...and that helped. After a while we were as nothing ever had happened. I have used my smile on all who have stared at me during my transition time. It normally melts the ice .

He has been very silent lately and was probably only releafed that I made the decision of breaking up.
He accused the long distance between us and his work stress. Well. The distance was exactly the same, as he started to hunt me before the Christmas. I doubt that my ts-background is still an issue to him, even though he is too much a gentleman to admit it. Anyway, now it is over. I have deleted him and his messages from my life. And feel quite lousy.

This thread was originally posted in March. However, the producers of the programme have just come back to me again appealing for more tranny couples, so I've bumped it back up the list.
This morning I had an approach from a the makers of a new series for ITV2 called Unlikely Lovers.
They are looking for tranny couples who would be interested in appearing in the programme.
I wrote back saying that we would not be able to help unless they could give us an assurance that any of our members who appear will be treated with respect and will not be ridiculed.
They wrote back as follows:
I can totally assure you that from our stand-point we are not out to embarrass, ridicule or just be down-right disrespectful to ANY of our programme contributors.
This approach is both wholly un-professional and utterly shameful. We want to show to our audience the various relationships which don’t necessarily conform to the “norm”, showing the circumstances and life-stories attached to each.

I didn't go blind, and I knew exactly what was wrong, and what I needed, which was the very reason I went to my GP.
I was referred to a local consultant psychiatrist in june, who referred my to a consultant psychiatrist in Birmingham in August, and refered me for cognitive behavioral therapy in July.
The therapist went off sick, and I first saw her in January of this year. More importantly, I started seeing the doctor in Birmingham, who lied to me on more than on occasion, and asked some very perculiar things of me in relation to my genitalia. He sent a report to my local psychiatrist diagnosing me as gender dysphotic, but added 'though I reccomend a further 18 sessions of intensive psychotherapy to understand the dynamics of his case." In other words, he said he was 99% sure that I have gender dysphoria, but wanted 18 more sessions of intensive psychotherapy with me to be sure, which is complete rubbish, as it has been clear to many... less
