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.

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.
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.
This is a very well written article about cross-dressers 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.
