Interesting Articles written or submitted by Seahorse members

This section of the website presents a series of well written articles by Seahorse members, some of which have been previously published in our monthly magazine. I have also included articles from our sister organisations. If you have an article that you feel would be appropriate, contact Christine Parker with details.


"Christine's Amazing Holiday" © by Christine Parker.
Webmistress' comments: An account of spending a whole week as a woman, including three days on a cruise ship.


"A Story in Passing" © by Christine Parker.
Webmistress' comments: A short story about an unusual experience I had while out shopping.


"Obituary - Pip Wherrett" © by Christine Parker.
Webmistress' comments: Obituary to Australia's best known crossdresser and former Seahorse member.


"Health Issues" © by Julia (president) and Christine Parker.
Webmistress' comments: Two brief articles on health problems that, if detected early, can be treated successfully. Not about crossdressing but important anyway.


"Paying a visit to the Ladies' Toilets" © by Christine Parker.
Webmistress' comments: Crossdressers have usually had the unique experience of visiting both Men's and Women's toilets during their life time and isn't there a difference!


"The History of Seahorse" © by Rhonda, our Magazine Editor
Webmistress' comments: This article was written at the request of the editor of Polare, the magazine of the Gender Centre in Sydney. It describes the beginning and development of the Seahorse Society, and shows how far the organisation has come and how much help in can be to crossdressers and the families.


"April Ashley's Odyssey" an article submitted by Julia. (opens in a new window/tab)
Webmistress' comments: This is a lengthy biography about the iconic British transsexual, April Ashley, whose divorce in the 1960's led to an infamous court ruling that effected the lives of transsexuals for many years, It is long, but well worth the read. In addition to her incident-filled life, it contains many images that were not included in her original printed book.


"Body Shaping" © by Christine Parker,
Webmistress' comments: This shows how to achieve a more female body shape. It goes through, step by step with photographs, what is required. I just wish that I could have found a slimmer model for the photo shoot!


"TG friendly shops? All of them!" ©, reprinted from an article published in the Seahorse Society of Queensland magazine May 2008.
Webmistress' comments: This is a very good and encouraging article for those embarking on buying a female wardrobe for the first time. It covers shopping both in boy-mode and enfemme. It lets you know that is easier than you might imagine.


"A case of artificial hair today, but gone tomorrow" or "Can wearing a wig really change your personality?" ©, Amanda and published in the Seahorse magazine March 2008.
Webmistress' comments: This is a very well written article about crossdressers coming out in mid-life. It looks at the development of the new female persona and three possible outcomes: a return to the closet; going full-time as a woman; or the development of a more or less comfortable balance between the male and female personae.
