Wonderful Joni, absolutely wonderful!..I have tried to find one, but I can't, so, should we have our own Tranny Patron Saint, and who should it be?...Suggestions?
Much Love Elly. XXXXX

I love it Linda!, but how did Tanners get in there?

Tanners ? I can only guess. Maybe by some association of thought: Sinner - a tanner darkening cloth and hides ?

I think the archangel Raphael should be mentioned especially. I see him/her on Tiinas list - as patron saint for "safe journey". I found her/him as patron of "travelers" - traveler and tranny, may be as close as we get. In the picture I found she looks sweet and pretty too: http://www.catholic.org/s[...]_id=203

Hi Tiina. I will admit that when I asked the question, it was slightly tongue in cheek, my own suggestion was to be Saint Scrubbers, I know...Speak for yourself!, but your sensible reply
has got me thinking, and in all seriousness I recommend SAINT JULIAN. You won't find him/her in any religious texts, but you will in DRAG!, Female Impersonators on Stage, Screen and Television by F.Michael Moore.

Quote:J could put Mae Murray, Gloria Swanson and the rest of our glamour girls to shame when he/she modeled women's clothing.

Julian flourished in American Vaudeville, on the stage, and in films in the early 20th century, and at one point he/she was the highest paid star inhollywood,I have a stunning picture of him/her,a still from the 1914 film..The Crinoline Girl...Meredith might know of him/her.From my research on the subject I conclude that he/she was the very first TRANNY superstar.
Much Love, Elly. XXXX

Tiina. I know that the Vatican don't create Saints while they are still alive, but I do have another suggestion for our Patron saint, or even Mother Superior. It is someone we all know, who created Trannyweb, and has worked her socks off to make it the success it is. I hope that this does not sound too corny.
Much Love, Elly. XXXXX

Tiina, I am so glad that you agree, and we won't have a problem with the miracles either.

So girls, is it to be Saint Katie?

Tiina. Agreed.

Tiina. What are required are more opinions, so what about it girls?

um patron saint of scrubbers must be a frined/realation of myn lol

St. Joseph , patron of "pioneers" sounds about right!?
-but I'm Lutheran so what the 'ell would I know?? hehe

Joan of Arc , in a reverse way perhaps-hmmmm

Hi All,
I agree St. Katie sounds good.


Question:

Can I get the concession for St. Katie Medals (or necklace)
and St. Katie dashboard ornaments?

Just kidding...

Hugz,
Michelle Lynn

Great,
Now for the dashboard ornament!

I Like the sound of St. Katie...

... but given that many Christian saints (especially the older ones) were acctually bastardisations of the earlier pre-christian gods and goddesses, (such as the egyptian or celtic deities - Anubis=St Christopher or Brighid=St Brighid) why narrow the search to saints?

I know the greeks in particular had a number of ancient deities relating to transgender issues.

Hi-I agree too with St. Katie,would like to add as well that in Hinduism transgenderism pops up quite a bit,especially the story of Rama.I'm also sure that even one of the gods takes the female form,xxx Alli.

we have an entryway!?!?

I mean, I knew about the academy, and I'd heared rumours of a tweb finishing school, but as far as I was aware the architects had forgotten to put an entrance in, which is why we've never seen any official graduates.

...OK ...Back to the wine I go methinks.

Maryanne, how about Saint "'Allo Zere Big Boy?"... And have you checked your saddle bags for the missing items?

How about St. Gwen? Gwen Arujo, that is.

Christine Jorgeson might be better, but I thought of Gwen before I read Wendy's post.

Well, I could certainly use a bit of intercession from St Martin de Porres.

Hugs...Joni

Hi Elly-

I don't know if there is one as such, but the Patron Saint of girls is St Agnes and the Patron Saint of desperate situations is St Jude. Maybe they can help out.

Hugs...Joni

Hi Allisande-

I agree with you about Hindu deities and their avatars and various manifestations. My favorite Hindu deity is Ganesh and I carry a little image of him on the dash of my truck. As you may know he's the lord of wisdom and knowledge, he opens doors and shows the way, he smooths paths and removes obstacles and guards you on your journey. He also rides on a mouse, which somehow always struck me as a cool thing to do, though I don't know why it does.<lol>

Oh and I totally agree that St Katie the Cool should be the patron saint of Tranny Web and we should comission someone to do a statue of her for the entryway to St Trannyweb Academy and Finishing School.

Hugs...Joni

Umm, Tiina, I hadn't really wanted to draw attention to this, but I just can't help it. What, exactly, is a "secret handsnake" and what do you feed it? Where do you keep it? What do secret handsnakes look like? Just curious.<g>

Hugs...Joni being ecumenically interested

St Christine - Christine Jorgensen, who performed the miracle of opening the eyes of the world to transgenderism by her courage, and all else has followed after. I wish I could hug her and thank her for being there first(at least in the eyes of the public). She suffered. We gained.

Dame Edna was not even a close second...besides, she's still alive last I checked.

Katie...well, she's already an angel. :-D
