Early in my transition, confused and feeling alone, I was excited to find that there was a local group called Tri-Ess in my area. I reached out to them for help... and was shot down! Why? Because I identified as bisexual and transsexual. You see, Tri-Ess was, and still is, only for heterosexual male crossdressers and their wives. It was my first taste of the in fighting in the transgender community. It hurt to be excluded from a group where I felt I might be able to finally be myself. Still alone but desperate to find others like me, I turned to the personals that appeared in the local newspaper. I hate to date myself, but there was no Internet back in those days. Fina…

Hi, I decided to write and post this in the forums because I felt it was something I’d like to share. As most of you may know, I’ve been doing what I can as a Moderator and as a News Editor for our wonderful community here at TGGuide.

I’m flying out tomorrow for two weeks, to also help my Mom out with whatever she needs, cooking, cleaning all the da…

Should the LGBT Community Use Words Like 'Faggot' and 'Tranny'? Call Me a 'Faggot' Huffington Post (blog) The terms "faggot," "dyke," and "tranny" are just as important to identifying our queer communities as "gay," "lesbian," and "transgender." It's convenient to just dismiss these words as hate terms. We've been preconditioned to anticipate abusive blows

LGBTQIA Initialism It refers collectively to "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender" people.

This is an interesting article examining the origins and expansion of the term LGBTQIA ~ Lori

This is what I did to get the gender designation mark changed on my driver licenses. First, I found this video in which the professor told the class to check the laws in the state that they lived in.

I have l…

Ok , A trend I have Expierianced and also Noticed , is the use of many substances that truelly hold NO safety , or tranquillity within their use . Drugs , Alcohol , Narcotics , even Herbal remedies , Hold an appeal and a draw to those who suffer any form of Gender Variance , even For those who simply believe that the answers lie within the use of such things .

I attend an accepting church. My wife and I have become members as of yesterday. There were at least 3 gay couples and 5 or 6 lesbian couples. As far as I know I'm the only transgender person there. My wife and I feel comfortable and have made some friends. I may speak with the pastor about my being transgender. I can honestly say that I feel comfortable about doing this. I'm also sensitive to my wife's feelings. She accepting of my dressing up to a point. Recently, for the first time, she walked beside me on the street while I was dressed. As you can small advances have made. I would make my day when I attend service dressed up.

A reality check worth reading for anyone who fantasizes that they'll transition and meet their knight in shining armor. ~ Lori

I never really thought about this at all. ...Duh!! ...Posers! who masquerade as transfolks < I hate predators> Information: Back by popular demand: internet fakes This is part of my larger look at the issue of trans wannabes on the internet and issues of internet safety for young people. The problem of fakes continues unabated, with recent examples coming from the so-called "transkids.us" movement, fake "transkid" author JT LeRoy, and the fake "transkid" featured at boy2woman.com. Most of these sites are by kooks and wannabes, but a few are run by scam artists looking to make money by pretending to be transwomen. Lest anyone think this is a phenomenon limit…
