  • Transvestia: pioneering publication for TG’s

    Hi Girls

    Quote from a TG Pioneer in the “Transvestia”

    “Sex is between the Legs, Gender is between the Ears”

    I found this to be an interesting read and it was recently published in the Vancouver Times. It claims that the University of Victoria in British Columbia has one of the largest Archives of Transgender Material in the world. I have never thought much about transgender history and or associated publications of those times. There were certainly some pioneering activities and information out there and in an age without the great facility we have today such as TGR and similar communication and information sharing media around the world.

    Transvestia was one such publication and check out its cover page and associated article at the weblink below

    Regards

    Hi Abbie

    We worry about the prejudices these days, but those girls would have had their share of concerns in the past. Brave souls all. I am so grateful we have TgR and the immediacy and capacity to interact that it provides to us.

    Regards
