Interesting Articles written or submitted by Seahorse members

The purpose of this section of the website is to present 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 with details.


The History of Seahorse was written by Rhonda, our magazine editor at the request of the editor of Polare, the magazine of the Gender Centre in Sydney.

Webmistress' comments:
This article 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, 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.

Webmistress' comments:
This is a lengthy biography, 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" an article by Christine, showing how to achieve a more female body shape. It goes through, step by step with photographs, what is required.

I had been thinking of doing an article like this for a while. 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?", written by 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.



Outreach and Education in Country Areas

Outreach is a new education program, started in 2007, to allow cross dressers from country areas, their partners or wives, counsellors, health workers and other interested parties to meet and discuss relevant issues.

The last seminar was held in Dubbo in March 2008. Read here for details
