  • The Internet

    We are all aware after the disclosure by the Guardian this week of the spying of the US and UK governments into our private on-line lives - through Prism and  GCHQ - and if we didn't realize before, then we now know that most of what we say and do on line is recorded and monitored. &nb...

  • Tolerance

    Sometimes in the west - especially in the UK - we take for granted so many freedoms which have been fought for over the years, by all kinds of groups not just the LBGT community.

  • Being Away from Transtastic

    Some of you may know that I haven't been around on Transtastic since before Christmas last year.  I went through about 9 days of hell - I had really bad flu so I missed Christmas totally, then a horrendous car crash on December 30 and my father in law died Jan 1.  Since the crash I have be...

  • How different is it being a Tgirl in Holland?

    Is it better there or is it worse? It’s similar in many ways, different in others and not just the obvious ones like language, number of people and size of country. How do I know? Well I lived with the Dutch for about 20 years. I shared their country and their w...
