I watched the first episode of Transformation Street and it did make me wince a few times. Davina also asked about Transparent - was it any good?
Well, I think the first couple of series were good but it went down hill after that. It became more about a disfunctional family than trans issues which is were it started. Series 1 was the best and covered more of the trans issue. The flashbacks to his crossdressing days were quite funny.
It did, however, get me thinking that although trans issue have become more mainstream (the new gay now everyone seems to accept that) it stiil focuses on people wanting to transition. These are people with gender disphoria and not gender expression which are really are two separate issues.
I can't really think of any TV programmes that I've watched where there is a 'Davina' type crossdresser. They are either portrayed as drag queens or chararcyers to be laughed at. I don't watch Eastenders so don't know how the dealt with the issue. But crossdressing in it's various forms is probably more common than people think so not really represented on TV.
I guess that a 'Davina' type crossdresser doesn't really make that interesting TV.
Katie
Not doing a vlog soz
Not Got the time and Esme would say no Non nein Nicht
I guess we're all glued to Transition street and all asking the same questions of our husbands i see Esme added something on another thread about the one guy who transitioned after 22years married with kids and yes its a worry.
He assures me he has no intention of goIng anywhere near a gender reassignment clinic.
It really would be nice to see something on the television about tgirls like our tgirls
Juliette Is half way there with her vlog and I think Davina and Katie should Vlog along with a few other tgirls here and turn it into a documentary
I bet it would help lots of people like us although I get the need for anonimity
Rebecca (Wife)
Transformation street omg they show some graphic stuff dont they not what i want to see on tv the ops
The first week making a vagina omg that was a bit much
They dont portray the Davina type dresser at all on tv never seen anything we can relate to and say thats like us
Hannah (wife)
Nope lol
The Eastenders story was poor
Davina I'm sure theres enough tgirls and wives in here for a documentary fancy it?
Nice touch adding videos to the Site
The Eastenders Crossdressing Story with the undertaker crossdressing made me cringe a bit more because of the poor acting around it than the issue that he was a crossdresser.
The story turned to one of blackmail and fizzled out.. But you're right we've never seen as people aren't brave enough or dont want to be outed a tgirl like me a professional in my trade, uni educated not that that matters using dressing for stress releif and just for the fun of it.
