Welcome to gossip and comments ..
Wild Stormes didn't happen! Despite the efforts of Andrea and myself there wasn't enough support out there to make an event that was viable. I think that people just got the wrong idea about what we had intended for the evening. For those that thought it was just a meal in an Indian Restaurant then you were so wrong. For the few that decided to turn up anyway they fast realized that the evening could have been unbelievable. I guess sadly that the UK's TG community is not ready yet to go a little upmarket. So seedy bars and pubs still rule and with it a stigma of a generally downmarket image for the TG. We may try again but don't hold the breath!. However if you want a good night out and a decent Indian meal in one of London's leading restaurants in a relaxed and TG friendly atmosphere then try The Anarkali in Chiswick west London. I am often to be found there on a thursday evening. Gender Bill (May 30th 2004) The UK Gender bill will soon be law. The final commons reading was last week. Apart from a couple of minor amendments to be made in the Lords on June 8th thats it! Russell Reid I recently had a call from Russell to thank all of you who have supported his corner in fighting the allegations made by the CCH GID team. Keep the support coming and write to his defence team if you can. Send us your experience with CCH if you like and we will forward those on. Details

Stop Press: Lord Tebbit, an influential conservative peer, said on Thursday that the country's current "obesity epidemic" can be blamed on the UK government's support for "buggery." Quote of the Month "It's hard to believe in the year 2004, with Americans being killed in Iraq, with civilians killed in Madrid, that these despicable assholes would conjure up the sanctity-of-marriage blather. This is a non issue promulgated by thieves and religious zealots to imprison contemporary people in the prison of the medieval mind. They should just call it the Mel Gibson amendment." Singer Lou Reed, denouncing the proposed United States constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, to The Advocate, April 27.

Hunks of The Month Sir Richard Branson
Well this is overdue! Richard of Virgin fame and flamboyant entrepeneur who has never been afraid to take up a little cross dressing. Now I like a businessman who writes to the Chairman of Quantas telling him and showing him what he would look like wearing a sexy Virgin Stewardess's uniform. Good one Richard! So come on Richard can you not do similar letters to Mr Bush and Mr Blair! - We can help with the graphics.
Fly Me - I'm Quantas OPEN LETTER TO GEOFF DIXON FROM RICHARD BRANSON Dear Geoff, I was amused to read Qantas’s completely dismissive comments about Virgin Atlantic’s chances of getting permission to fly to Australia. It would be prudent for you to remind yourself of your and James Strong’s equally dismissive comments about Virgin Blue’s chances of entering the Australian market only three years ago. Here goes! This is the gist of what you said: “Virgin Blue is a lot of media hype.” “This market is not big enough to sustain Virgin Blue.” “Virgin Blue doesn’t have deep enough pockets to cope.” “Qantas will employ any option to see off this interloper.” “They’ll be unlikely to survive a year.” “Claims by Richard Branson that domestic fares are high are a misnomer!” (my exclamation mark) Here is what James Strong, your former C.E.O, said about Virgin Blue and myself: “If you listen to most of the pretenders there is a distinct air that they are making it up as they go along. In terms of real plans and real commitment you could fire a shot gun up the main street and not hit anybody.” Yet three years later you are telling your staff that this same airline, “that was making it up as it went along” and that now has 30% of the market could, “Drive Qantas out of business!” We also find it flattering, if a little silly, that three years on you now have spies hiding behind pot plants in the Virgin terminal trying to work out why we are so successful. Even if some of your comments don’t suggest it, your actions indicate you are taking us seriously. But let’s not take ourselves too seriously. I would like to propose a friendly challenge! If Virgin Atlantic fails to fly to Australia (within 18 months, say) I’d be prepared to suffer the indignity of donning one of your stewardesses brand new designer outfits and will work your flight from London to Australia serving your customers throughout. However, if Virgin Atlantic does fly to Australia you would do so instead. On our inaugural flight from London to Australia you would wear one of our beautiful red Virgin Stewardesses uniforms and serve our inaugural guests all the way to Australia. Oh and in case you were wondering, we’re not hung up on flying through Hong Kong. You might end up doing your days work experience through Singapore, Thailand or Malaysia instead. This is the challenge. If you believe in what Qantas said to the press there can’t be any risk for you. We expect your response within one week. Our inaugural flights are great fun and I look forward to welcoming you on board personally. Oh and by the way my preferred drink is ………..! Kind regards, Richard. p.s. I enclose a picture to give you an idea of what you might look like |

Channel 4 Sex Change Programme Those who watched the latest programme on changing sex from UK's Channel 4 television seem to have mixed views about it. From good to well .. rather indifferent and the fact that transvestites may have been portrayed as the sort of sexual thrills orientated whilst transsexuals still require a head scan. The general consensus though was well done Channel 4 and wow were some of the pictures gruesome. I remember Russell Reid telling me once some years ago that there was this guy in California who can "saw your skull in two and then put it back together" .. Yuk! Channel 4 have their own help page: http://www.channel4.com/health/microsites/H/health/magazine/sex/health_transexuals.html
Transgendered Saudis imprisoned Nine transgendered Saudis have each been sentenced to at least five years in prison and more than 2,000 lashes for deviant sexual behavior. The men were sentenced in the city of Qunfuda on Saturday. The men are to be flogged between 48 and 52 times in 50 separate sessions, with a pause of 15 days between floggings. The men were convicted for cross-dressing.
Islam and Transgenderism (comment) An Imam (a religious cleric) has assured us that having a sex change does not contradict the teachings of Islam, which aim to serve the interests of humanity and to ensure the happiness of people.

Situations Vacant - CIA Assassin The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks, interviews and testing were done, there were 3 finalists...2 men and a woman. For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. "Kill her!!!" The man said, "You can't be serious. I could never shoot my wife." The agent said, "Then you're not the right man for this job. Take your wife and go home." The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the man came out with tears in his eyes. "I tried, but I can't kill my wife." The agent said, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home." Finally, it was the woman's turn. She was given the same instructions to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow. "This gun is loaded with blanks", she said. "I had to beat him to death with the chair."
Please Take Precautions When Traveling The mood of America has changed - Global objectives of America seem to have changed - and future months will doubtless see even more change. America and U.K. are beating war drums - after Iraq who is next? - but there is no clear future target for the anger. This is already translating into lack of toleration of those who are different. One obvious target for the people's rage is individuals with olive skin. Perhaps a less obvious target will be transgendered and transsexual people. We urge our readers, and especially our readers from the Middle East, to take precautions to ensure their safety, especially in public spaces like airports, train and bus stations, malls, parks, and on the streets. Increased security at airports will result in an insistence that photos on documents of identification match the individual's appearance. Those who customarily fly cross-dressed without matching ID may find themselves grounded, and may be questioned by authorities. This is an issue primarily of security, but prejudice against transpeople may make matters worse. Do not fly with a passport that does not match your appearance Those who customarily fly crossdressed might consider whether it would be wiser not to do so. For those who decide to fly crossdressed anyway, and for those who have transitioned gender roles, we suggest you make sure your photo identification matches your appearance. If it doesn't, now would be a good time to get your ID updated. You should also consider carrying supporting documents such as letters from your support group, therapist, and physician explaining who you are and what you are doing. If you should be removed from a flight, we suggest you not make a fuss at the scene. Save your complaints for later, when they will not put you in danger of being arrested. UK Foreign Office Guidelines on GLBT Travel New
Airport Body Scanners The types of new machines include two for baggage: A device that uses low level
radio waves to scan for explosives residue. The Rapiscan Secure 1000 body scanner uses low-level x-rays that penetrate clothing and a special camera to create a computer image of metal objects in their exact locations on a passenger’s body. The Beringer Ion Scan 400B, a walk through device that uses blasts of air and a vacuum to loosen, apprehend, and analyze particles around a person’s body, seeking traces of 40 types of explosive and other hazardous material residue. It can also be programmed to test for 60 different types of drugs. The Entry Scan 3 made by Ion Track Instruments, a trace portal explosives detector, that functions like the Beringer Ion Scan device above. In particular, the Rapiscan Secure 1000 shows airport security personnel a realtime image of your naked body. If you are, for example, an FTM who is binding, they will see your breasts; if you are packing, they will see your prosthesis. Security personnel are viewing scans of same sex passengers, that is if you are presenting as male, and you are asked or volunteer to go through one of these scanners, a male security person will be viewing your scanned image. It is unlikely that these people will be trained in handling transgendered or transsexual passengers with sensitivity or respect. Once these new machines are placed in service nationwide, the current zonal metal detection devices are likely to remain in service for initial screening. The new enhanced systems will |

A
Must! 
The
thing about Michael is that he is different to other people.
Not just in the way he looks but in his whole outlook on life.
A simplicity and almost innocent ideology. Some would say naive...
maybe. One thing you cannot deny and that is pure talent and
that they can never take from him. So Michael molested children
did he? and pigs will fly. Of course he looks and aparently
behaves like the average pedo to the uneducated and rednecks
of society. And he looks like a target for a few million bucks
to any without a pot to pee in that would set him up. Let the
case be proved and if it is then we are wrong but somehow we
do not believe it will be other than in the gutter press which
isn't worth a light anyway.
In
a World exclusive crissywild.com can announce that the
mystery surrounding the wherabouts of Osama bin Laden
has finally been solved. crissywild.com confounded the
resources of the CIA when our special agents spotted Osama
now named Mistress Oriana Doll wandering out of Anne's
dressing room sporting a rather sexy pink number at Jimmy's
Bar in London. When pressed for an interview whilst negotiating
a bar stool she declined simply commenting "that
things had become rather difficult now in Afghanistan
for informal evenings out and that she had decided to
be more western in her approach". A spokesperson
at Jimmy's Bar would not elaborate but commented "We
cannot confirm or deny the identities of our customers.....
but we are seeking a supplier of specially adapted wigs
able to conceal an AK47 and 10lbs of C4 plastic explosive".
Needless to say the bar expects to be very busy for the
foreseeable future. So all you CIA people this is where
