• Suicide Prevention

  by Katie Glover November 21, 2020
  It’s been estimated that Transgender people are twice as likely to think about and attempt suicide as LGB people.  The suicide rates for Transgender people are far, far higher than the national averages in most countries.  It’s difficult to know exactly though, because gender identity is not normall...

• Faster Page Loading & the new Safe Feed

  by Katie Glover September 16, 2017
  Hi gang, as you know we are constantly trying to improve everything about Transtastic but it's an ongoing job, a bit like painting the Sydney Harbour Bridge.  It never stops.We have not been idle in the last week.  Apart from fixing a few annoying little bugs we also attempted to install our new Saf...

• Help Needed Urgently

  by Katie Glover July 14, 2017
  Only four people have subscribed to help us keep Transtastic going since I posted our plea for support about a month ago.  That is quite shameful and I am very disappointed with the response.  Very few of our members who use this site regularly and who are online almost every day have stepped up to ...

• Your New Transtastic

  by Katie Glover June 15, 2017
  Most of our upgrade is now complete. There are still some new moderators tools to come but nearly all of our front end stuff is done.  Hooorah!  It was quite a painful upgrade but now our pages are loading in around 5 or 6 seconds and the main page in around 10 or 12 seconds.  That's pretty good.  W...

• Software Upgrade Dream Becomes A Nightmare!

  by Katie Glover May 12, 2017
  Apologies if you experienced any disruption at Transtastic recently.  As we explained, we have had the builders in.  They've been replacing some of our old software with new stuff and adding new functionality too.   The picture above shows the old server room at Transtastic Towers.  When the work i...

• Transtastic Software Upgrade

  by Katie Glover April 21, 2017
  Just a quick update on our ongoing software upgrades.  Many of the programs we use on this site are in the throes of being updated to their latest versions (we've got over fifty of them).  That in itself should give us a faster, more stable site with fewer bugs.  There was a problem w...

• Full Steam Ahead

  by Katie Glover March 20, 2017
  Oh look, those are my pretty fingers and lovely painted nails holding that phone.  Well actually they're not.  Just some wishful thinking on my part there.  Just a few lines to let you all know about our progress over the last little while and what's in store in the coming months.&nbs...

• Wooh! New Servers!

  by Katie Glover July 7, 2016
  Huzzah!  We are in the midst of our move to our new servers, based in Vancouver, Canada and London, UK.  Our previous server were in Germany and they were unsupported so whenever anything went wrong we were on our own and had to fix it ourselves.  Our new servers are fully managed by ...

• We're getting there!

  by Katie Glover March 4, 2016
  How do you get to Carnegie Hall?  You just gotta practice!  Well we've been working hard on upgrading Transtastic for a few weeks now and I think things are finally starting to come together so we're getting closer to Carnegie but there's still a way to go before we get to tread those famo...

• Transtastic Software Roadmap

  by Katie Glover February 17, 2016
  Hi gang, it's been something of a baptism of fire for me over the last few weeks.  Apart from dealing with a family bereavement, I've also been taking over the Transtastic reigns from Beckie Fox, who started this community and has done an amazing job at it.  She's going to be a hard act to...

• Hi All

  by Katie Glover February 7, 2016
  Hi gang, in case you don't already know me, I'm Katie.  I've been Katie for as long as I can remember but owing to a cruel twist of fate I've had to pretend I'm a man in everyday situations, for many years.  I guess that's much like a lot of our stories.  If my circumstances were diff...
