A Royal Duty
By Paul Burrell
List Price: £17.99
Our Price: £8.99
You Save:
£9.00

Like him or loth him you will want to read this book of secrets that has shocked the British Royal family. Perhaps this is the first stage of finding the truth about what really happend to the British Nation's most loved icon; H.R.H Princess Diana.

Who killed H.R.H. Princess Diana? – the tip of the iceburg of what the Butler knows

The startling revelations now emerging from Paul Burrell, Diana’s former butler, confidant and so called “Rock” are set to shake the foundations of the British Monarchy; indeed the fabric of the British Institution itself.

As some of you will know, Diana was a friend to the Gay community and her autographed picture still hangs in pride of place neatly over the spirit optics at Jimmy’s Bar in London (see Nightlife Section). A staunch ally and supporter of AIDS charity, Terrence Higgins Trust, Diana was committed to compassion and grass roots social justice. I met her once and was captivated by her sense of interest and down to earth values…. Indeed a wonderful person. I remember that fateful day when logging into AOL, I was shocked to see the news headline “ Diana Killed” flash up and the dreadful Paris accident scenario unfold… I cried.

The last interview with Diana was impromptu and off the coast of Sardinia. Do you remember the words she stated “Something big was set to happen… a real revelation”. 24 hours later she was dead. Since then we have had speculation and conspiracy theories abound. So what may have really happened?

For the first time we can start to piece together a possible solution and I believe that as time goes on and more of Mr Burrell’s secrets unfold, the truth will emerge. There is no way that those who may be responsible directly or indirectly for the death of our Nation’s most loved icon can get away from the justice that is just around the corner. Diana’s mahogany box was meticulously filled with evidence of a Royal family demeanour so distasteful it is unthinkable. What we now know is that the primary whistle blower was the so called rape tape which is the 1996 interview that Diana engaged with former palace valet George Smith.

November 9th 2003 Update
On the tape Smith states that he was raped (not once but twice) by a trusted Royal aid now known as Fawcett the former PA to Prince Charles but… and as we are now informed it goes much further. Smith makes another startling revelation that he witnessed a serious lewd incident involving a senior member of the Royal family (we now know as Prince Charles) and a well respected Palace servant. All we OFFICIALLY are not supposed to know as at November 9th 2003 is the gory detail of what happened! The little box was entrusted to Burrell with the possible words. “Paul if anything happens to me then expose it and them. However ugly Mr Burrell’s recent money making actions may be we have to examine carefully the basis upon which they are made.

Clearly the tape was so explosive that who ever was named on it may well been behind the search of Diana’s mother’s house in Scotland while she, Mrs Shand Kidd was at an engagement in London. One obvious target of the search was the tape. A mysterious hooded gunman then points a browning 9mm at Smith and says "talk and you are a dead man" before beating him up. A then bungled attempt in Court to discredit Burrell as a common thief of Diana’s property failed by intervention of the Queen and so the stage was set.

A cover up in the extreme. Male rape is a crime and a person accused should stand trial whether Royals may be involved or not. But then this opens more questions. If persons not wishing this allegation to leak out knew that the tape existed and that Diana was in possession and even half suggesting she may expose the names on it then the unthinkable springs to mind. More hooded gunmen? We dare not even say it aloud. And if this could possibly have happened then who would be the accomplices who arranged the dreadful deed in order to protect the British Institution of Monarchy and a senior Royal from public humiliation and possible prison sentence for Smith's rapist ?

Of course we are all told that Smith is not credible - He is sick and mentally unstable... a madman even. Of course he imagined it all and had delusions. Sir Michael Peat the Prince's PPS has gone on National television to tell us all that the story, the detail of which he cannot disclose, cannot possibly be true because the Prince told him so. The British people are supposed to buy that!

I wouldn’t want to be any in the loop who may be sitting on the hard evidence right now! But the truth we will get sooner or later and if a crime is proven then all those responsible should be rounded up and thrown in the tower.

So who has the tape? Is the allegation factual? And when if ever will it be published? and will the CPS prosecute Fawcett for rape?

We cannot print it but here as the most famous transgender site in the World may be taken to court, but here is a link to an Italian Television web page that carries the story that Buckingham Palace do not want the British People to hear. EG who was caught in bed having nooky with whom?...

Fawcett for Queen? Gosh it's so boring.

The London TG scene exposed....

Transgender Underground: London and the Third Sex
By Claudia Andrei
Our Price: £14.95

During the year 2000, multimedia artist Claudia Andrei embarked on an ambitious personal assignment to explore and characterize a culture that's often overlooked. She immersed herself in the world of London's transgender community, going to transvestite clubs, visiting her models and photographing them and hanging out in the TG community.

Her book represents two years of research involving carefully structured, in-depth personal interviews with seventeen of her subjects ranging from transvestites, transexuals, drag queens and androgynes chosen for this unique book. With a striking photo on the glossy cover. Inside, the photos, both colour and black and white are all engaging and the text conveys a diversity of individuals with a corresponding variety of stories.

This book will give you an understanding of the true nature of what being transgendered is all about. It is a remarkable reading experience packed with information and insight. A 'must read' for anyone with an interest in the gender bending scene.

This is quite a book. Claudia Andrei's Transgender Underground provides a much needed insight into a shadowy community that all too often is misrepresented by press and public alike. Andrei's artworks, several of them reproduced in colour, show her subjects off at their most engaging and flamboyant. Her interviews with them, meanwhile - presented as straightforward 'statements' rather than as laborious Q and A sessions - are just as engaging, frequently funny and always illuminating. Highly recommended.

Tranvestites and transsexuals alike will delight in the sheer volume of information on offer.

Over three hundred pages really make this a book that every 'girl' should have on her shelf.

The secret to successful crossdressing....

The Lazy Cross-dresser
By Charles Anders
List Price: £9.99
Our Price: £7.99
You Save:
£2.00 (20%)
Used Price: £6.39

This is a book every "girl" needs. Charles/Patricia writes with humour and authority, covering almost every issue that a transvestite faces when first beginning to dress. Beginning with the basics on hair removal and progressing through wig choice, makeup and underwear to choosing clothes, this book is packed with practical tips and advice for the real world: "short cuts to femme gorgeousness". Even those of us who have been dressing for a while will find something useful in here.

Patricia focuses on ways to make the best of what you already have. She does away with any suggestion that the average man can transform himself into the perfect woman and focuses on working with your existing body, build and face. For example, if you have a typical male build, you're never going to look good in something built to show off the slender torso of a willowy woman; instead, follow Patricia's advice on spotting dresses and tops that will minimize those shoulders.

Similarly, the book demolishes some of the myths peddled by retailers keen to make a few quid by selling dreams to emerging trannies. Specially padded undergarments, clinchers and even silicones are subjected to Patricia's critical "do we really need this" test. To her credit, whilst she backs up her opinions with experiences and quotes, she doesn't preach and rarely presents herself as showing the One True Way to cross-dress, so I feel better that I'll never agree with her about a girl being able dress without boobs!

It's not perfect: for example, the section on makeup commits the cardinal sin of explaining with words what a couple of simple pictures would make so much more evident. Some discussions such as the best way to hide beard shadow cover several alternatives but don't necessarily conclude with any firm recommendations. Oh, and it's written by an American, so all the usual caveats about sizes and brand names apply.

The book closes with what is for me a slight lapse as it descends a little into Californian "self-actualization" territory, although it does still contain useful advice. The section on coming out is, however, lamentably short.

All in all, this book has joined the Tranny Guide in my bag as an essential, practical and humorous source of advice for a girl who, like me, wants to look good without all the effort. Thoroughly recommended.

Classic Make Up & Beauty Book (DK Living)
By Mary Quant
List Price: £8.99
Our Price: £7.19
You Save:
£1.80 (20%)
Used Price: £8.19

This beauty book is a dream. Short (116 pages)but packed with step-by-step instructions and brilliant illustrations (one would expect nothing less from the excellent Dorling Kindersley), it enables the beginner or intermediate make-up enthusiast to perfect their individual look. It helps you analyse your face shape, skin-tone etc. and then illustrates with colours and tools how to make the most of them, or cover up flaws. It takes you through all skin-care regimes such as toning and moisturising and shows you step-by-step how to apply foundation properly, for example. What I liked most was that the models had 'real' skin and less than perfect features to begin with - which means you can compare yourself and work on making your eyes look bigger with shadow or toning down rosiness with correctors, to name just a few. And the models are not all white - thank goodness. Women of all skin colour will gain from the book. Various life-like colour palettes for shadow, foundation, nail polish etc. give you much help in choosing colours which which suits your tone of skin. You can make all your choices based on these illustrations which approximate real colours, unlike lots of other beauty books. Little boxes throughout give you Tips and each section, eg. lips, eyes, nails has an 'Effects' page for recreating certain looks. There is also a wonderful gallery of eight looks for copying at home. I can really recommend this because it has an emphasis on 'classic', not fads or fashions, so it will never go out of date. Plus you take the onus for experimenting with the ideas in the book. It's biggest asset is that it assumes we are all of different skin-tone and type and works hard to cover all angles so that you can find and show-off your own 'classic' look.

A perfectly formed work of art, achieving the state of grace to which its creator so elegantly aspires.

In a new introduction, Morris describes the book as a period piece. She does herself and injustice. It is a classic.

The Third Sex: Kathoey, Thailand's Ladyboy

This is not the sort of salacious account you might read in the newspapers. Nor is it a superficial Western guidebook account of 'transvestite cabarets.' Richard Totman lived with a Thai family for several months listening to the kathoey telling their own stories, and adding an account of their long history as an intrinsic part of Thai culture and their relationship to the nation's religion. But most of all, this a charming account of real human beings.

The Transsexual Empire : The Making of the She-Male (Athene, No 39)

Fifteen years ago, when it was first published, "The Transsexual Empire" challenged the medical psychiatric definition of transsexualism as a disease and sex conversion hormones and surgery as the cure. It exposed the antifeminist stereotyping that requires candidates for transsexual surgery to prove themselves by conforming to subjective, outdated and questionable feminine roles and "passing" as women. Then as now, defining and treating transsexualism as a medical problem prevents the person experiencing so-called gender dissatisfaction from seeing it in a gender-challenging or feminist framework. Transsexualism goes to the question of what gender is, how to challenge it, and what reinforces gender stereotyping in a role-defined society. In the new introduction to this feminist work, Raymond discusses how these same issues are now debated in the context of transgender. Transgenderism reduces gender resistance to wardrobes, hormones, surgery and posturing - anything but real sexual equality. It assimilates the roles and definitions of masculinity and femininity, often mixing and matching, but never really moving beyond both. In a similar way, transsexualism is thought to be a radical challenge to gender roles, breaking the boundaries of gender and transgressing its rigid lines. But if the transsexual merely exchanges one gender role for another, and if the outcome of such a sex reassignment is to endorse a femininity which, in many transsexuals, becomes a caricature of much that feminists have rejected about many-made femininity, then where is the challenge, the transgression, and the breaking of any real boundaries? This book will be used as a text in women's studies, psychology, sociology, technology and public policy, as well as by medical students, law students, and all who have an interest in feminist issues.

The Transgender Debate: The Crisis Surrounding Gender Identity (Behind the Headlines)

This short book is intended to be a resource primarily for non-trans people who wish to get a simple grasp on current transgender issues. Perfect for older high school students, university undergraduates from many fields who need a simple explanation to the back ground of their project work, and for family and friends of trans people who simply want to understand.

It addresses the historical, social, legal and medical issues surrounding the new community. The book throws light onto what are complex issues, clarifying them in a way that all those who think they know what gender roles mean, will be called to question the certainties they are no longer about.

Transgender has become a cultural obsession. From the high camp of Ru Paul to the working class transsexual icon, Hayley of the UK's longest running soap "Coronation Street", it pervades our lives. Yet for many it remains a freakish interest on the sidelines. For transsexual and transgender people, though, it is a reality bound up in complexities, legal contradictions, family discord, and a desperate need to explain what it means to be a man or a woman, or neither, or both.

Female Desires : Same-Sex Relations and Transgender Practices Across Cultures

This is a compilation of multidisciplinary essays which discuss same-sex desire among women outside of Western culture. It explores female eroticism in such societies and cultures as India, Polynesia, Latin America, Native North America and southern Africa. The book offers evidence against the commonly accepted notion that non-Western women are generally passive victims of male domination and compulsory heterosexuality. It also attempts to dispell the idea that same-sex female desire is rooted in Western neo-imperialist culture. In a larger sense, the essays attempt to look past the ethnocentric categories in which sexuality, identity and culture are often considered.

Gender Blending : Transvestism (Cross-Dressing), Gender Hersey, Androgyny, Religion & the Cross-Dresser, Transgender Healthcare, Free Expression, Sex

Gender Blending has opended my eyes to a lot of issues that I had not connected to gender reassignment. I was looking for a book that would give me an insight into the world of transvesties, cross dressers and gender reassignment people. The book is very thorough in its content, although heavy reading, it would be very beneficial to anyone making a serious study of the subject. I have learnt a lot from the case studies, which I found very interesting and also about the surgery necessary to complete the transitions. The reference to material used is very comprehensive and could lead a scholar to the direction they wish to study without too much trouble. This book was too heavy going for me and I will be looking for lighter works to read. My interest is on a more practical level helping with hair removal etc. I spend a lot of time with various members of the community and like to understand their point of view. I was impressed with the style of writing that made it easy to read but too indepth for my needs.

Looking Queer : Body Image and Identity in Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay, and Transgender Communities

A fascinating collection of essays and personal accounts dealing with how lesbian/gay/bisexual and transsexual people see themselves and how the LGBT communities treat people with differing appearences and abilities. This is perhaps the first book to deal specifically with intersexuality (people born without a clear gender) and the controversy over surgical intervention for such people. It is also interesting to read John Stoltenbergs personal history of coping with being overweight and how this affected his politics. Highly recommended.

Transgender Nation

This book highlights the sociopolitical aspect of transgender.The author says the ultimate solution of transgender is the change of USA's bipolarism society.In Japan, I think the situation is somewhat different.The bipolarism and homophobia are not so strong.Rather,the phobia for SRS is very strong.The reason is Japanese think the body is as important as the soul and cutting off the part of the body is sinful. So , this book also gave me a chance to think the cultural differences between the two countries.

Transgender Warriors : Making History from Joan of Arc to Dennis Rodman

The analysis of opression of minorities and gender based discrimination as a completely economical one, is a point which might be debatted - other sociological factors like goup size and the advantages of a separation of male-female space for a significant fraction of women without such arrangements wouldn't be stable are neglected. Still highly to be recomended fo people with an interest in history, queer studdies and of course people which are trannsgender, be they gay, lesbian, transseaual, straight crossdressers or interesexed. I think this book deserves a wider audience, also extending traditional leftist or gay subcircles.

Lieutenant Nun : Memoir of a Basque Transvestite in the New World

This text presents the extraordinary story of a 17th-century cross-dresser who became a hero of the Spanish-speaking world, a darling of the Pope and a conquistador in Chile and Peru. Catalina de Erauso was born in 1585 in the Basque city of San Sebastian, and after fleeing a convent aged 15, she spent the rest of her life dressed as a man. A soldier by the age of 18, she inadvertantly killed her brother in a duel, gambled and brawled her way through the Andes, and only revealed her secret 20 years later, when she became a legend in her own time and for subsequent generations. Her memoirs shed light not only on the Spanish conquest of America, but on the life of a woman who challenged the foundations of society, while remaining committed to its service.
