Just wanted to share a great forum that I find very informative and helpful when it comes to "transgender" issues! For instance, on the "home page", you will find helpful links such as "cross dressing","Sex Reassignment Surgery", "Transitioning" and even "Youth" links!Also there is a chat section, a reference library and of course a forum! All worth spending your time in.What I like best about

I have "cruising" the Internet looking for articles of interest involving "Transgenders in the News" I recently came across a very interesting article posted in the "Baltimore Sun"..Seems that Rev. Drew Phoenix received an a one-year contract to head St. John's United Methodist Church. What is so unigue about this? Well the Rev. Ann Gordon received her routine reappointment as minister of a

A transmale student from California’s Fresno High School has made history, by being the first openly transgendered student in America to run for Prom king!..Seventeen-year-old Cinthia Covarrubias, ran against six other students for the title of prom king on Saturday April 21. Even though Covarrubias lost to another student, his loss can be considered a major win—not for transgendered people. Not

According to the research that I have been doing, the author of this book, Leslie Feinberg..is supposedly one of the most prominent gender rights activists todayThe author's book, Transgender Warriors : Making History from Joan of Arc to Dennis Rodman deals with such subjects as Joan of Arc to the Welsh peasants who cross-dressed to protest taxes; from the Black and Latina drag queens who led the

I finally received the books that I ordered online She's Not the Man I Married: My Life with a Transgender Husband..Please, bear in mind that I haven't written a book review in a lot of years! But enough of the excuses...Here goes.. Helen Boyd (the author)writes about her struggles when her husband (who has been open about being a transgender) decides to live as a woman full time!

After deciding to "practice what I preach". I decided to buy a few books from the Internet, and donate them to my local library! Please read my previous posting for my reasons I have set myself a budget and hopefully stick to it! So trying to stay within my budget, I decided to buy one book on "Transgender" for myself and buy a second copy and donate it to my local library! The main reason, that

Just thought I would share some of the interesting news about TranGenders..that I have come across! Oh ya..Am I in no way promoting any belief, opinion or anything else..just try to keep an open mind!(1) The Japan Times(2) ExGayWatch(3) University Of MinnesotaAfter reading some of these articles..I am sure that the issues dealing with being TransGender are not isolated!..

In my quest for more knowledge to help familiarise myself with "the world of being a transgender". I decided to give the Internet a break and go check out the information available in my local library! Well, after spending a few hours in the library, I was not too impressed! There was no books (non-fiction) available for me! My thoughts were "how come"..I realize that I live in a medium sized

First..Let me say that I am not a big time watcher or fan of Daytime soap opera's! But, lately, I been reading online about this character on "All My Children" called "Zarf". Yes..That the character name "Zarf"...Rhymes with "scarf" and do I have to say it..4 letters and starts with "b".. Well, anyway back on track.. The soap opera.."All My Children" is trying to do something that was never

    I have been doing a lot of reading and researching on "Gender Identity Issues"..And, I was surprised at the so "called" cures for "Gender Identity Issues". These cures involved such "techniques" as institutionalization, shock therapy, confinement, violence, verbal abuse, etc.     No matter what type of so called cure is used, I firmly believe that they are nothing more than human rights'

It has been a while since I posted on this blog, and to take a break from all this serious stuff! I decided to share with you a quiz that I came across recently! It is a short quiz, 16 different pictures of either a "Female" or a "Shemale"..The quiz is self-explanatory... After you do the quiz, just close the page and post a comment with your score! Oh yah!

A couple of years ago, when Britney Spears first became immensely popular, there was a story going around that Britney Spears was a Hermaphrodite! Well after the pictures that are going around the Internet...Britney is obviously a female! and only a female!...You may be wondering what this has to do with the theme of this blog! Well those kinda of rumours are meant to belittle, hurt or ostrasize

PART ONETo misquote a famous comedian "You Might Be A TransGender"...IF..(#1) You have an overwhelming desire to wear clothes of the opposite sex at a very young age..It comes and go's in waves.. but never goes away. Same desire, year after year! (#2) Sexual arousal always occurs during cross dressing for a variey of reasons, whether you act upon it or not usually dictates if your a

PART TWO(#6) The day you stop caring about what other people "think" is the day you finally realize your a TG. (#7) Shows like MAURY..Sally Jessy...(remember her)..Etc..That showcase beautifultransexual women from all over the world...You never miss an episode..You have to watch..

Here is the brief story of my life!At 5 years old, I knew there was something wrong with me..10 years old, I started cross-dressing...15 years old started buying my own make up and clothes...I repeated this pattern of buying girl's clothes then throwing them out every year till I was 19..Then, I fell madly in love with a girl..I figured "it" would go away..Boy was I wrong..About 8 months before

When I posted Amanda "girl's night out" picture (2 posting previous), I have recieved about 20 comments that I refused to post. Why? Simply, I won't publish comments that ask for personnal pictures of her topless (unless we are talking $1000.00 U.S. lol) or asking for pictures of her proving that she has the upper parts of a female and the lower parts of a male (maybe $10,000 U.S. l.o.l.) or any

Even though I haven't posted anything in a while other than "tweaking this blog"..(proud to say that I have added a "Paypal" donation button). I have been doing research by checking out "Trangender Forums", reading the posting and checking related websites! I can honestly say that is plenty of information out there, a lot of medical, physiological, biological/genetic, I found a lot of the

This is the latest "pic" of Amanda getting ready for a "girls" night out!Now, If this "pic" doesn't bring in any comments, well then I don't know what will!

My first posting so let make it controversial...Is stealth the best way to go.. or is honesty the best policy.! In the United States, most experts preaches " deep stealth"... How ever the USA also have the highest murder rate among TransGender's in the world.... hmmmmm! To "STEALTH or not to stealth... is honesty the best policy when it comes to your own personal safety as a transgendered female.

Even though I found movies like "Tootsie" or "Mrs.Doubtfire" and sitcoms like "Bosum Buddies" extremely funny. I am realizing that these are just stories made to make money, and are far from reality! The men in these movies or sitcoms dress and act like women out of necessity, to spend time with their kids or to live in a college female dorm (I believe that is the storyline for "Bosum Buddies").

To help you find this site more informative. I have made this basic glossary to explain some of the terms, that you will find on this blog!(1)MTF (male to female)(2)FTM (female to male)(3)Transgender (TG)..are basically people who were assigned a gender (usually at birth and based on their genitals), but who feel that this is a not a true or an incomplete description of themselves.

To start off, let me explain why I decided to be the "person behind the scenes"! I have known "Amanda" (the star of this blog) for a lot of years now! To be honest, I known "Amanda" in more of a work environment than as "hang-out buddies". A common question that I received was "is that a girl or a boy, that you working with?". This was quite the common question especially from people who didn't
