Breaking the news - how to tell someone you're trans ...
http://transboutique.com/article.php?story=20100204195718447 At some
point, transsexuals who are thinking of "making a change" have to
decide to either drop their current work and social contacts, or
divulge their status and their plans to others. It would be a serious
understatement to say this is presents challenges.
Thousands of Saints Fans parade in dresses from the Superdome to the
French Quarter
http://transboutique.com/article.php?story=20100205093811301 Buddy
Diliberto, a rather colorful local sportscaster who passed on in 2005
and who had a wide and loyal following once made a promise: that if
the Saints ever made it to the Superbowl, he would second-line
(parade, in "Yat-speak") from the Superdome to the French Quarter in a
dress.
News for February 4th 2010
http://transboutique.com/article.php?story=20100204183033878 Today's
news includes such tidbits as Britney Spears cross-dresser in court

woman's story makes the case for the need for such surgery.

http://transboutique.com/article.php?story=20100204045206721
Transsexuals, transgendered, cross-dressers, and anyone else exploring
living either part-time or full-time as someone other than their birth

blessing.

Toilets in the news again - legal
http://transboutique.com/article.php?story=20100202201554748 It's 2010
and we're still arguing about which toilet to use. It's being reported
that a pre-op male-to-female transsexual in England is being banned
from using the womens' washrooms in a pub after 3 years of doing so
with the full knowledge of the staff.
Gender wars in U.K. - transsexualism
http://transboutique.com/article.php?story=20100131202047874 I have
corresponded with those who are generally assumed to b e haters of TS,
from Janice Raymond to Bernice Hausmann. Neither of them, nor several

be in popular TS circles. They do have different views form us, but
that is no reason to stop civil discourse, in my opinion.
Bad reporting - or accurate story? - transgenderism
http://transboutique.com/article.php?story=20100131181548787 A town
taken over by transsexual hookers. Now, that is a story! Predictably,
the first opinion posted to the story is an attempt to "set the record
straight":
The politics of power and Gender Identity Disorder - transsexulism
http://transboutique.com/article.php?story=20100130123434756 his has

social and political spheres when it comes to dealing with the issue
of treating gender identity disorders and transsexuality.
