We can picture in our mind the typical drawing-room scene. The upright father in his dark suit, the timid-looking mother at her writing desk, the elder son in his Army uniform, the young girl in her lace-trimmed pinafore, and finally the maid in her starched apron and cap, all posed rigidly for the camera.

But imagine, if you would, that the timid looking mother is really in charge of the family, and that beneath that frilly blouse and cameo broach lies the heart of a true dominatrix.

Her husband sits so erectly in his chair because of the tightly-laced female corset which he has been forced to wear for years and years.

The young girl is, in fact, a 14 years old boy, put into pinafores to curb his early signs of waywardness and rough manners. Underneath, he has to wear his corset day and night to train his waist to become as tiny as possible.

The elder son, also in a lace-trimmed corset under his khaki uniform, has only enlisted to stop his fiancee dressing him up and treating him like a maid.

And the maid herself, she's, of course, a boy as well. A young nephew who came to stay when his mother died, and found himself forced into female domestic service.

Far fetched? Perhaps, but only because such a number of males dominated into corsets, pinafores and maids' uniforms were unlikely to be all in one household. However they did exist, individually, all around London and the rest of the country, and most likely every other country in Europe.

The evidence is presented in a recently published collection "Confidential Correspondence on Cross-Dressing 1911- 1915", edited by Peter Farrer. It makes fascinating reading.

For example, let's start with the young recruit. You may have heard of British men who failed to enlist during the First World War being handed white feathers by women in the street as a sign of cowardice. But some women went very much further, as a letter printed in a newspaper in June 1915 pointed out.

This was from a wife of a 24 years old man who had thought twice about volunteering for the trenches. She and some friends had formed their own corps, with the women all dressed in khaki and the men as maids...

"Most of us have husbands who will not join the forces, and we have compelled them under persuasion and application of the birch to don female attire and do all the housework."

"We hold meetings in each other's houses. Our husbands have to wait on us and call us "Sir", and we always say "Miss" to them. I expect they feel awfully foolish when they have to get matches and light our cigarettes and dust around the room with us looking on."

"We sometimes take them on our knees, and one poor boy had the humiliation of being made to stand in a corner. This is exactly what wants doing with those who won't enlist. We have made them feel ashamed of themselves."

"The boys have been dressed like this for four months now, each one being made to swear in front us all that he would for the rest of his days wear the petticoats."

To some of these men, such feminised punishment may have come as a shock. To others, it might almost have been second nature. For the collection, mainly taken from the newspaper New Fun, has many examples of teenage boys being persuaded to dress as girls.

One letter is from a man whose mother insisted he wore white pinafores from the age of 14 to keep himself neat and tidy. To begin with, he shared his sister's, but over the coming two years began to collect a drawer-full of his own.

"Lady friends of my mother expressed great admiration for the plan, and several of them, to my disgust, sent me pinafores for Christmas presents. These were carefully chosen for me when the donors came to call, and I had to appear wearing their presents and was made to thank them and say how pretty I thought the pinnies."

Others who came across women feminising their sons were less supportive. One 1915 letter is from the wife of a "big strong man" whose son is fighting in France. She claims to detest effeminate men and cites one example she recently came across.

She had been invited out for tea with a friend, and to her horror had found her hostess's son pencilled, painted, powdered and dressed as a girl.

"Several ladies present gushed over him, and his adoring mother proudly produced a tape in order that his admirers might measure his pinched in the waist, which proved to be 16 inches.

"I was disgusted with remarks such as 'Doesn't he make a lovely girl?' 'His corsets squeeze him beautifully', or 'Isn't his waist delightfully pinched in?'. Needless to add that I was glad to go home".

Some boys learnt to love the feeling of constriction and the slim waist which tight corseting brought. There are a number of letters from men who are proud of their figures, amongst them a young draper's assistant who had been in the trenches himself fighting for King and country.

"I've have read some of the remarks about that effeminate men is a kind of weakness, but from experience, there are men who have that fascination fighting at the front now (I myself have done a bit, but am home again and expect to go back shortly) so that shows that all are not weak," he writes

Others had hated the experience of being feminised and never wanted to return to girlish clothes once they had escaped them. A letter printed in the summer of 1915 tells of the experiences four years before of a young man who went to stay with his aunt while his widowed father was abroad.

The aunt hadn't really wanted him but decided that if he was going to take up space he might as well work for it. The maid was dismissed and the nephew took her place.

At first, this sounds like classic trannie fiction, but then comes the ring of truth:

"I must say that a small waist and pretty lingerie has quite a fascination for me when on a girl, but I have not the slightest desire to go back again to my female attire."

Surely, for a real trannie, such thoughts would be sacrilege.

There is undoubtedly some fantasy about. A number of the letters do seem too much like wishful thinking to the more cynical reader of the 1990s. One, for example, concerns a young man who has to pretend to his dying father that he is the daughter that never was.

But even these only serve to underline that much about being a transvestite hasn't changed over the last eighty years. There are reports from trannies who chance going out dressed, and pleas from others for advice on how to go about buying women's clothes. In those days, it must have taken quite a nerve to have gone to a dressmaker.

There are over 200 letters reproduced in the collection, and Peter Farrer has indexed them under subject headings, dates and newspapers for ready reference. He's done a magnificent job on bringing to life a transvestite world that history tried to ignore.

I had asked a friend why she enjoyed dressing as a female nurse. She was growing enthusiastic. What she went on to say about male patients being equipped with their own thermometers is, perhaps, best not repeated in its entirety.

I’m not sure whether my friend had got under a starched uniform, exactly – but he’d certainly got into one. He has a woman friend in the nursing profession who had presented him with a genuine nurse’s dress. I think it was a pattern which had been replaced by newer uniforms. (Certainly they do change the style of nursing uniforms from time to time, as I expect most of us have noticed). It was a little old fashioned but that did not detract from its charms. It was certainly an item a lot of transvestites would treasure.

It must be admitted, through, that the nurse’s outfit is almost certainly not the most popular uniform with transvestites. Clearly, that position must belong to either the schoolgirl uniform or the maid’s. Year after year these two trannie stalwarts are available in the Transformation catalogue and shops. An awful lot of them must have been sold.

Nurses lag somewhere behind, no doubt, but there’s obviously a substantial interest in them. In Uniform Special – TMC’s first magazine devoted to the subject – they were well represented. The cover promised Virgin School girls, Naughty Nurses, Sexy Maids and that is what it provided. All three appear in the photographs – and these are the only three uniforms treated in the fiction.

There was one story about a trannie slipping into each of them.

If nurse’s uniforms are not the most readily available from specifically transvestite suppliers, my experience suggests that they are at least easily found in sex shops. I exchanged some merchandise for a credit note in a branch of a large sex shop chain. What I wanted at the time was not a nurse’s uniform, but a maid’s one – which should have been easy enough. (It certainly would have been easy had I been dealing with Transformation!) However, each time I called at the shop, the maid’s uniform had not yet arrived. I was repeatedly offered the nurse’s outfit, but eventually (giving up on the maid) settled for some lingerie. The choice of lingerie I was offered made it clear that I wasn’t being fobbed off with hard to sell items. I think the sex shop really did sell plenty of their nurse outfits.

However, what my friend said of nurse’s seeming stainless – and the reference to starch – goes some way to show why a sex shop nurse’s outfit would not do for me. (I’d guess that the same goes for many other transvestites with an interest in playing the nurse). The overly-revealing styles, and the wet look or satin fabrics, while attractive in themselves, fly in the face of what draws me to nursing fantasies. Wanting to dress as a nurse is one thing, wanting to dress as a whore pretending to be a nurse is another matter entirely.

It would be interesting to know who buys sex shop nurse’s outfits. While some surely do go to transvestites, my guess is that most are bought by real girls for professional purposes – although the profession in question is surely not nursing. Such garments might, perhaps, be suitable for administering enemas – which are, I understand, very popular with some. Our local free paper certainly carries adverts for such services.

There should, in any case, be no real need to go to a sex shop for a nurse’s uniform. The real thing ought not to be impossible to find. After a baby abduction case last year, the tabloid papers highlighted how easy it was to buy nursing uniforms. If they’ll sell them to transvestites, that is.

There is also the possibility that one may be given a uniform by a nurse. If it happened to my friend, it can surely happen to others. Most people, I suppose, know at least one nurse. Two of my sisters became nurses, not that I’d ask either of them for a spare uniform… or, come to think of it, maybe I should!

Whether or not we care to take the necessary steps towards laying our hands on them, there can be little doubt that genuine nurse’s uniforms are more easily available than the real thing is for either transvestites, maids or school girls. Genuine uniformed maids are beyond my experience.

Possibly, one might find a similar uniform intended for a waitress. However, real waitresses uniforms may not be quite what the average transvestite maid had in mind.

The tabard affected by most hotel chambermaids is of even less interest to the transvestite male, I feel sure..

If anything the real thing is even less obtainable for transvestite school girls. There are plenty of school girls about, and genuine school uniforms are, of course, on sale in every town in the country. The real problem is of size. For obvious reasons, the uniforms are mostly in small sizes.

Most transvestites are large by the standards of adult women, let alone by those of young girls. I’m lucky enough to fit into a size 14, but I know trannies (not enormous by male standards) who need dress sizes in 20’s. Some nurses, on the other hand, are pretty big.

There are large nurses and, of course, male nurses – but there remains something very feminine about being a nurse. A character in a story called “TV Nurse” certainly sees things that way.

“I wish I had a proper nurse to work with,” Anne said.

“What do you mean?” demanded Madge. “John is a proper nurse”

“Go on, men don’t make good nurses. They just get the good jobs because they are men”.

John was standing half-amused by this chat.

“That’s not true,” Madge said. “I bet John would do just as well as a girl”.

“Huh! I bet he couldn’t even put a proper nurse’s uniform on.”

Well, I’m sure we can all guess where the story is heading (And wouldn’t you like to be in John’s shoes? – or at least in the pair he will soon be wearing). However, several points of interest arise in this passage, apart from the idea that men don’t make proper nurses. One is the idea that a proper nurse’s uniform is obviously considered to be a female one. Less obvious is the way Madge defends John: I bet John would do just as well as a girl. The conversation has slipped, with no one apparently noticing, from how well John does as a nurse to how well he would do as a girl.

The two are obviously not the same, but I wonder how many readers noticed the slide in meaning on a first reading.

TV Nurse was included in TVs in Uniform, TMC’s second venture into uniform. In the magazine, maids and school girls outnumber the nurses in the photographs, but (as in Uniform Special) there is a nurse story. Obviously, the editors thought you wanted to read more about transvestite nurses, and they were probably right.

The femininity of the nurse is confirmed by the origins of the word. The original sense is of the wet nurse – and who but a woman is capable of breast feeding? The word comes from the same root as nourish. In Middle English, the language of Chaucer, the word for nurse is norice – which sounds very much like a compromise between nursing and nourishment.

If the nurse is literally a substitute mother – something of the same also applies to the medical nurse. When we are ill as children, who makes our beds, brings us medicine, takes our temperature…? Clearly, a mother’s tasks include a quantity of medical nursing. More, ill in hospital, helpless and vulnerable, there is a sense of return to childhood. Inevitably, nurses appear as mother figures, even if they are younger than their patients (as they often are).

Nurses, however, have not always seemed so maternal. To many Victorians they appeared little better than prostitutes or actresses (much the same thing, most would have said). When nurses went to war (Florence Nightingale and all that) they were regarded as indistinguishable from the other camp followers.

Possibly this had something to do with their work calling upon them to handle men’s private parts – or maybe it was merely their unchaperoned condition. Almost certainly, it is yet another example of the narrow mindedness of too many of Queen Victoria’s subjects.

If a trace of the prostitute image remains, it would act as a turn off for few of us. Many transvestites, of course, enjoy dressing as whores. Perhaps trannie whores outnumber transvestite nurses.

Although the nurses we know today seem so prim and proper (so pure, so stainless) – they also have a certain reputation as ravers. Air hostesses have a similar reputation. Why don’t I know any transvestites who dress as air hostesses? (I’d love an air hostess uniform!) Possibly, contact with human frailty has to do with their being less inhibited than most women, but who knows? Certainly, a lot of people are frightened of flying – as well as frightened by hospitals.

One reason people are frightened of hospitals is surely that a lot of people die there. I am reminded of the great increase in sexual promiscuity in the Second World War. (And we shouldn’t forget, here, fantasies about wounded fighter pilots and their nurses!). There is a curious connection between death and sexuality – and also between fear of death and sexuality. That subject, however, needs a whole book to do it justice.

Turning from death to childhood, somewhere here we are almost certain to be reminded of children’s games of doctors and nurses. These not only represent the first step towards sexual experimentation for many people – but also form a combined fantasy for both genders. As we shall see, women have their own nurse fantasies.

If we return to Florence Nightingale and the origins of modern nursing, the profession seems not only feminine but representing femininity at its best. During the Crimean War the boys mutilated one another while the girls (as represented by Florence Nightingale’s nurses) did what they could to patch them up. Given the choice of these gender roles, which of us would prefer the male?

Indeed, the nurse as fantasy (which is, of course, what we are considering with transvestite nurses) is curiously feminine. Mills and Boon – surely exclusively female fantasy – treat doctor and nurse stories as a sub genre in their own right. Presumably, the readers identify with the nurses rather than the doctors. Mills and Boon certainly do not treat maids or school girls in the same way. Perhaps transvestite nurses represent one of our closest approximations to genuinely female fantasy.

When we come to consider fantasy, a great deal of it has to do with submission and domination. Clearly, this is true of both the ubiquitous maid and the schoolgirl. The maid is there to do the bidding of her master or mistress. The schoolgirl must obey the teachers, and abide by the school rules – otherwise it’s the classic sub/dom situation with the head mistress cast in the role of the dom, a painful situation (but one which many TV’s enjoy).

With nurses things are less clear cut. Certainly, in the doctor and nurse scenario so beloved of Mills and Boon and their readers the nurse is in a subservient position. The doctor is clearly in a position elevated above the nurse. The dominance, however, is more subtle than in either the maid or the schoolgirl fantasies. The doctor may give the nurse orders – but has no obvious disciplinary measures to hand should the orders not be properly carried out.

A more classically dominant figure in nurse fantasies is the matron. (None of the worst for being a dominatrix, perhaps). Hospital administration has changed a great deal in recent years – but we are surely all familiar with the fearsome matron as played by such actresses as Hattie Jacques in the old comedy films. (The likes of Carry on Nurse and all the other doctor films.) According to my sisters who trained as nurses, such awe-inspiring matrons really existed.

Mixed in with the submissiveness of the role, however, the nurse can also dominate. She can give orders to the patients as surely as the doctor (or matron) can give her orders. And what orders she can give!

…Off with your clothes now… come on, you can’t leave those underpants on…

… Time for your injection…. just bend over now…

… Now, now, be brave… it may hurt just a little bit…

Indeed, bending over for the nurse to give one an injection in the bum (I mean an intermuscular injection, of course) is almost certain to remind one of bending over for the headmistress’s cane. The injection may be over more quickly, but there are those who would prefer the cane.

A spanking, if not the cane, is surely available from the nurse’s cousin, the nanny. Strict Nanny Stern appears in more than one TMC publication, wearing something indistinguishable from a nurse’s uniform. (Plenty of starch!).

The adult baby theme, closely connected with the nanny figure, leads us back towards a sense of return to childhood which illness can bring. The nurse’s patients and the nanny’s charges have much in common. Nor should we forget, somewhere between the nanny and the nurse, is the school matron – leading us back in the direction of schoolgirl fantasies.

Nannies and school matrons aside, the nurse is someone with whom to be reckoned with in her own right, Injections, enemas (I’ve already mentioned them as being popular with some) – the nurse certainly has the power to do some remarkable things to her patients. her thermometer won’t necessarily end up in your mouth, either.

Supremely, feminine, simultaneously submissive and dominant, is it any wonder that transvestites with a little imagination feel the urge to slip into the nurse’s starched uniform? So pure, so stainless…. Isn’t that a perfect description of me? Anyone who thinks it isn’t had better watch themselves when I make my rounds tonight! It can be a lot of fun…

Do you remember the first time you dressed as a girl? Jennifer Wilson, now a 55 years old London solicitor, looks back on her halcyon days at school: Public school in the 1950's was aimed at toughening up the "mummy's little darlings" to become the leaders of tomorrow. It was a regime of stark dormitories, cold baths, early morning runs, corporal punishments, and supposedly for pleasure, boxing and rugby. A friend of mine, Charles, is one of the most convincing cross dressers I have ever seen. When dressed as Charlene, he transforms himself from a good looking black guy into a ravishing, slender woman, with dusky looks and a curvy figure. For me, all this was terrifying. I was a small, red headed kid in glasses who wasn't cut out for physical activity like many of the other boys. My mother thought I was 'artistic', but my father looked on me as too sissy. Public school he believed would be the making of me. And so it was, but not in the way he thought! I was a transvestite even before I went to the school in that I would dream of being dressed up, and would occasionally try on my mother's petticoats during furtive sessions in the bathroom. But I never thought I would ever get the chance of acting like a girl. Thanks to the school, I did. It was in the summer of 1953, which is perhaps why I remember the actual date so well. The Queen had taken the throne, Hilary had taken Everest, and I had taken the lead role in the school play - as Alice in Wonderland. Looking back it seems a strange choice for a boy's school, but the music master had written songs to go with it so perhaps it was all about indulging his little fantasy. I'm sure nobody knew it was also indulging mine. I was 14 at the time, but my voice hadn't broken and I was lead boy soprano in the school choir. I was small, as I say, and I suppose was the obvious choice to play Alice, but I still couldn't believe my luck when I was asked, and really I still can't. Not only being allowed to dress as a girl, but forced to, isn't that every transvestite's dream? It was certainly mine, and, I have to confess, still is. I can even now remember the fast beating of my heart at the very first rehearsal. I was still in normal clothes of course, but it was the thrill of being dressed as Alice. As the weeks went on, it got curiouser and curiouser. I had to write to my mother and ask her if she would be willing to provide my costume. The school secretary gave me the list of clothing I would require, which I included with the letter after reading it over and over again - white headband, white pinafore, candy striped dress, white petticoat and long white socks. I could wear my plimsoll shoes, and the school would provide me with a long blonde wig.

My mother treated all as a bit of a joke, but I think my father was furious with the school about it. When I went home for half-term, and my unforgettable first fitting, he just stayed out of the way. We had two dress rehearsals before the real thing, and each time I was helped into my frock and pinafore I felt a tremendous exciting surge run through me. But it was only on the night when itself when I also got to wear the wig and the stage lipstick, eyeliner and rouge that I got the most amazing experience of my life. I cannot really describe my feelings of stepping onto the stage in front of all those people as Alice. How proud I felt of myself as I skipped and sang, laughed and cried, a girl for all to see. And how sad I was when I took my final curtsey to the polite clapping, blissfully aware that the audience hadn't enjoyed it anywhere near as much as I had! Afterwards the cast was treated to tea with their parents, with chocolate cake we never saw any other time of the school year, iced buns and ginger beer. But the best bit for me that we were still in costume; Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee, with their cushions up their jumpers; the dormouse and the white rabbit with whiskers on their cheeks: and me, in the starched pinafore and sweet little dress my mother had made specially for me.

My Mother was terribly sweet about it, but I think she was worried inside about my enthusiasm. The play was over, but I was still acting as Alice. I didn't want to stop being the little girl. Eventually I had to go and get changed, and then a feeling of great embarrassment came over me. I knew I had pushed it too far, I had let down my guard, and the pangs of guilt stayed with me throughout the summer holidays I never got the chance to do it again. My voice broke soon after and my days in the choir were gone. I don't know if my father had said something to the school or not, but for some reason I was never chosen to play a girl again. I was in two other plays and a pageant, but each time I had to play male parts while other boys, who didn't appreciate it, were forced into skirts. God, how I envied them! Unfortunately I also couldn't ever be Alice again. I tried in a roundabout way, to find out what happened to my costume but I think my Mother threw it away. I remember being invited to a fancy dress party the following year and suggesting, in a joking manner, about going as Alice. My mother just ignored it. "Why don't you go as a cowboy", she said, and I did. The End

MALE-TO-FEMALE TRANSFORMATION

EXCLUSIVE FEMINISING HORMONE TREATMENTS

When you commence hormone treatment you start on a journey that will take you to the part of the feminine spectrum you desire be it breast enhancement, nipple augmentation or a full transition to a female hourglass figure with softer skin and the removal of male facial and body hair. A minority will wish to progress all the way and undergo gender reassignment which involves the removal of the penis and testes and the creation of a vagina whilst the majority want to feminise their body to a greater or lesser extent. It is important to note that female hormones have a profound positive effect on self-esteem and bring an inner peace as body and brain become more aligned. Before puberty, apart from genitalia there is very little difference between the genders. Genetic females at puberty respond to the surge in female hormones by developing breasts, broadening of thighs and a general softening and rounding resulting in the classical hourglass shape and the onset of periods. Males undergo profound changes at puberty when the release of testosterone and other androgens cause the voice to deepen, development of stronger muscles and growth of male pattern facial and body hair. At this stage a male is capable of penile erections and sperm production. Introducing estrogen and associated endocrine female hormones into the body (also know as oestrogen) to a post-puberty male allow them to react with cells that contain specific receptors and institute the feminisation process. It is vital to lower your levels of androgens (male hormones) to facilitate the process. Every individual reacts differently to feminising hormones just as genetic females do, some grow small breasts some large in a process that can take anything up to 4 years to complete so patience and dedication in continuing feminizing hormone therapy is essential. We offer male-to-female transforming hormones in a variety of strengths and delivery options, so that they are both affordable, effective and safe no matter what your age or financial position. The stronger the hormone, the faster development and unfortunately the higher the price but the one golden rule is that no feminising hormone will be effective unless you take an androgen suppressant (anti-androgen) alongside it. Doctor Temperli is a leading endocrinologist (hormone specialist) and advises centres of excellence re hormone therapy and it is he who heads up our research & development developing ever more efficient male-to-female hormones delivery systems. Although estrogen is the primary female hormone we do incorporate various forms of estradiol including micronized estdradiol, estradial acetate, conjugated estrogens, esterified estrogens. ethinyl etc. Doctor Temperli has worked with our founder, Stephanie Anne Lloyd who was one of the UK's first transsexuals to undergo male-to-female reassignment surgery before which she received 3-years of feminising hormone treatment. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM FEMALE HORMONE TREATMENT Results vary by individual and also are related to the strength of the female hormones and androgen suppressants taken but the following will be experiences in stages •The outer layer of skin will become softer with smaller pore size •The smell of perspiration will become less acrid and more musky •A sense of self-contentment will develop •Mood swings will occur •Male facial and body hair will transition over time (especially if transdermal treatments are added) to become 'vellus' fine feminine growth •Swelling of the breast will start to become apparent •Nipples will become increasingly sensitised and milk ducts will start to form (as treatment continues some milky discharge is normal) •Nipples will begin to darken and become proportionate to the developing breasts •Buttocks will round out and waist shrink as subcutaneous fat is developed and distributed as an hourglass shape become defined. This is usually around the 2 year treatment stage •A secondary mound will develop on the developing breast area •Full development occurs between the third and fourth year of hormone therapy at which stage the secondary breast mound disappears leaving a fully filled out pair of female breasts with the areola recessed with only the nipples projecting •At this stage you only require a low maintenance dose of female hormones and androgen suppressants and those few that want reassignment surgery can proceed •Although involuntary erections will decrease, voluntary erections are unaffected THOSE WHO SHOULD SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE BEFORE TREATMENT Today's modern hormones are exceedingly safe to take at any age but it is wise to seek a medical opinion if you have a history of blood clots as estrogen (oestrogen) does increase the risk. If you are going on long haul flights it is wise to take a 75mg aspirin for a week before departure which will assist in thinning your blood. Those undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy as part of cancer treatment should seek specialist advice. Stephanie Anne Lloyd has taken female hormones and androgen suppressant since 1980 and at 69 years of age is still active and in good health.

When you reached puberty your voice will have 'broken' giving you a manly deeper voice but despite this you can feminise the way you speak and this post will you you how to feminise your voice. Fennella Fielding, a famous UK personality has a deep husky voice which sounds really sexy. First of all do not try and squeak to a higher octave, you will just sound 'camp' instead you need to speak from your stomach rather than from your lungs Practise this by placing your hand on your tummy, taking a deep breath and consciously press down ensuring that it deflates as you speak. This takes some time to master but in time will lead to a 'breathy' sounding feminine voice. Woman have a different way of talking involving gestures so be observant, watch and observe carefully to follow the lilt of their sentences and how they end them. Women are very touchy-feely with female friends but will react very differently to men according to whether they are strangers, acquaintances or friends. Women are generally more reserved and will not seek to dominate a conversation, when they are nervous they will tend to play with their hair, earrings etc If you look feminine then it is much easier to be convincing but the telephone call is much more difficult and the person will tend to make an instant decision on your gender according to your voice. You must sound confident and introduce yourself before saying anything else, so if you answer a call simply state your name "Hi Jennifer Carter speaking" this tells them they are speaking to a woman. If at any point anyone addresses you as 'Sir' confidently correct them and they will apologise and adjust their mindset For those of you serious about sounding feminine especially if you are going to live as a woman then we have a speech therapy training course comprised of CD's and a tutorial which you can obtain For full details of our Speech Therapy Course - please click here Whether you make use of this course or not, you need to observe women in minute detail, the way they air-kiss when meeting close friends, the way they gently shake hands, the way they move their hands whilst speaking in differing situation.

LOOK - LISTEN - LEARN then practise in front of a mirror until it becomes second nature. Someone asked me recently to speak as a man which I was 35 years ago and I couldn't remember how to!!! 35 years of living as a woman has made me fluent & confident in the ways of femininity so it come naturally without any conscious thought. Any specific questions you may have on this subject please feel free to email me at steffie@transformation.co.uk

Less than 500 people have seen this! and you & I will never see it.

Every astronaut who has spoken of their journey highlight one common view.

From space planet earth by day is a bright colourful but fragile-looking object set against the backdrop of totally black infinity.

The colours of the planet cross the entire rainbow spectrum and earth is the most colourful planet ever seem even by the Hubble telescope. Their experience instils in them a sense of wonderment and appreciation of just how unique this place we call home is.

If we look at the world from their perspective we can then celebrate the diversity in nature that gives the planet it’s rainbow colours. Most of us are also animal lovers and we value the diversity in our pets, dogs and cats come in all shades of shapes and colours.

So now we know that diversity is what makes us happy, yet when it comes to humans some people only seem to like people exactly like themselves and are intolerant of others on the grounds of colour, ethnicity & gender.

Gender and sex are two completely different things. In most people, your brain and body are aligned before birth. Yet just like babies are born with physical defects which we correct medically.

For transgender people, the brain and body are misaligned so they have the brain of one gender, but the body of another. Over many years either using electrical shock treatment or counselling attempts have been made to reprogram the brain in line with the body, all of which have been unsuccessful, leaving the ONLY option to sync the two by altering the body.

Unfortunately, society has been slow to recognise this as a true medical procedure and have therefore heaped more pressure on those facing this life-changing option. As a result the rates of suicide of transgender are unacceptably high as are levels of mental illness brought on by the real fears for their future. My parents disowned me when I transitioned 35 years ago and they died without any reconciliation which pain I still carry. Although society has become more aware of the issue the physical transition still causes immense problems for most who do especially in the areas of family, employment and social interaction.

I must admit that I came within a whisker of suicide after years of trying to put off the inevitable decision yet, fortunately, I took the decision to undergo full male to female gender reassignment surgery following hormone treatment. The cost was high, I lost my family, so-called friends and a lucrative job. Adjusting to living on benefits was difficult but at last, I was transfused with a sense of contentment, really liking myself for the very first time.

Fortunately for me, I met a wealthy man who agreed to finance Transformation as a not-for-profit venture to help those who wish to transition from male to female. Trans people may want different levels of male to female transformation, transvestites (TV’s) may want an instant reversible convincing change which we cater for with silicone breasts, realistic vagina panties, wigs, in fact, everything they need. There are others who simply want to grow their own female breasts and our site is where you can find female hormones that will fulfil this need. Others may want a total transition but stop short of surgery (often referred to as shemales or ladyboys) and there again we have male to female hormones on our site.

Transformation is my ‘baby’ I have loved and cherished it since it was born way back in 1984. I have spent a lot of my husband's money for the research and development (R&D) in financing Doctor Temperli the world-renown.

endocrinologist (hormone expert) and he has developed a range of cutting edge feminising hormones. The female hormone delivery options now mean that anyone of any age & with almost any medical condition can find one that is effective and safe to use.

I am the living proof of what can be accomplished and as the world’s longest established transgender specialist we know how to help you to fulfil your dream. Please don’t be nervous or afraid, we offer totally confidential help and support throughout the process and you can consult Dr. Temperli for free advice on medical issues or me on the practical ones.

The first step is always the hardest but also every day you delay is a day of happiness & contentment lost forever.

Stephanie x

Our transsexual founder Stephanie Anne Lloyd has not had an easy life. She was born in 1946 as Keith Michael Hull to parents who were Jehovah’s Witnesses so nothing about her life was easy.

After pouring herself into a career she made it as a man all the way up to director of a UK FTSE 100 company with 6,000 employees. She seemed to have it all, a beautiful wife, 3 children, big house, luxury lifestyle yet the nagging from her inner self led to her giving it all up. Stephanie is a true transsexual who could only fight the inevitable for so long. Her stark choice – suicide or admit she was a male to female transsexual & undergo hormone therapy & gender reassignment surgery.

At the age of 30 she walked away from everything, resulting in her being totally alone except for a rescue dog called Sheba. Disowned by her parents, shunned by her family & so-called friends. Penniless but at last at peace as a M2F transsexual she came up with establishing a not-for-profit company and called it ‘Transformation’. Her luck changes when a multi-millionaire replied to her advertisement for financial backing making her dream of helping others a reality. This was in 1984 when Stephanie became our transsexual founder and Transformation was born.

Stephanie went on to marry her multi-millionaire backer and alongside building Transformation and developing a specialist range of products played an active part in her now husbands supermarket and hotel chains.

Having a transsexual founder who understands all the issues faced by both transsexual and transvestites puts Transformation is a unique position of being able to provide not just medical advice but practical answers from someone who has actually experienced everything you will. No-one other than someone who has actually lived through it understands the mental and practical problems & can realistically provide practical solutions.

At the age of 69 she still works full time within Transformation ensuring continued research & development and the personal touch is central to her dedicated team. The fact that the average length of service for Team Transformation’s members is 20 years demonstrates their dedication and loyalty to Stephanie’s inspirational leadership. After opening 9 shops, producing hundreds of specialist magazines & DVD’s she shoes no signs of slowing down and produces our weekly blog and Twitter feed plus many of our Facebook postings.

Stephanie is bubbly with seemingly inexhaustible energy and enjoys what she does as is obvious to everyone who meets. She was one of the first in the UK to undergo gender reassignment surgery and certainly the most notorious with acres of newspaper and TV coverage she is well grounded and used the opportunity to campaign successfully for the right for transsexuals to have their birth certificates amended.
