Welcome to The Trib... Christmas
is here and this is my last Tranny Tribune as
Editor. Next month we hope to see in the
New Year with a new Editor and a new format for The Tranny
Trib. I will still be around though as I'll be
staying on as Publisher and will also be contributing articles and
interviews
to our new revamped newsletter.
Apart from being our Christmas issue, this is also our 9th birthday edition as well. We don't remember exactly when Trannyweb was started but we do know that we registered the domain trannyweb.com on December 18th 1999, so we are now in our tenth year. Happy ninth Birthday Trannyweb. This is my last chance as Editor to ask why you haven't read my book, "Katie Glover's Girl Guide" (unless you have of course)? If you had written a book I'd have read yours! It's available only as a downloadable, digital book which means no messing around with plain wrapping and delivery. It also means you receive your book immediately. You can download your own copy of of "Katie Glover's Girl Guide", by clicking his link. In my editorial last month, I mentioned that the very first edition of the Tranny Tribune from October 2001, had been lost forever and that we only had copies the Trib from issue number two onwards. Well I am now pleased to report that the elusive first issue has been found! It was nestling in that crevice down the back of the sofa and was covered in verdigris. However, after a quick rub down with some liniment oil, it's nearly as good as new. That first issue was only ever available only as a text file and you can see it by clicking here. Our Trannyweb Short Story Contest 2008 is finished now and the winner is...well you'll have to read on to find out. Thanks to all who participated though. Although she didn't win the recent US Presidential Election, Bennie Lee Ferguson did become the first openly transgendered presidential candidate in U.S. history! Maybe next time she'll make it all the way to the Oval Office. There's a round-up of her campaign below. I'm pleased to welcome back Michelle Hart's hard hitting column. This month she's walking like an Egyptian. There's also a new opportunity for you to make some real money by joining our new TrannyAds network. Just by placing our advertising code on the pages of your transgender related web site, you can start earning proper money immediately, every time a potential customer clicks through to one of our advertisers.

Finally, I hope you will join me in welcoming your new Tranny Tribune Editor, Meredith (Scoop) Newton into the fold and wishing her the best of luck for the future! Hugs, Katie xxxx Now There's No

For over
3,800 years the Giza pyramid believed to be built as a tomb for Fourth
dynasty Egyptian King Khufu remained the tallest man-made structure in
the world. It was surpassed only by the 160 meter tall spire of Lincoln
Cathedral that was completed around 1300 A.D. The total mass of the
pyramid is estimated at 5.9 million tonnes. The volume, including an
internal hillock, is believed to be roughly 2,500,000 cubic meters.
Based on these estimates building this in 20 years would involve
installing approximately 800 tonnes of stone every day. It is believed
by some that the architect was Khufu's vizier, named Hemiunu, the son
of Nefermaat, a relative of Khufu's.
It's also believed that Hemiunu constructed the pyramid over a 20 year period concluding around 2560 B.C. Manetho gives Khufu a reign of 65 years, which would enable him to build the pyramid by installing approximately 250 tonnes of stone per day. The accuracy of the pyramid's workmanship is such that the four sides of the base have a mean error of only 58 millimeters in length, and 1 minute in angle from a perfect square. The base is horizontal and flat to within 15 millimeters. The sides of the square are closely aligned to the four cardinal compass points within 3 minutes of arc based on true north not magnetic north. It is a little known fact that the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza is not a perfect square. The base is a 4 pointed star, each side of the pyramid being slightly concave, i.e. each face of the pyramid is indented from the corner to the midpoint of the base. This design feature can only be seen from the air, at certain times of the day. This concavity divides each of the apparent four sides in half, creating a very special and unusual eight-sided pyramid; and it is executed to such an extraordinary degree of precision as to enter the realm of the uncanny. Viewed from any ground position or distance, this concavity is quite invisible to the naked eye. This explains why virtually every available photograph of the Great Pyramid does not show the hollowing-in phenomenon, and why the concavity was never discovered until the age of aviation. It was discovered quite by accident in 1940, when a British Air Force pilot, P. Groves, was flying over the pyramid. He happened to notice the concavity and captured it in his now-famous photograph. When you think about all the work that was involved in building one of the eight wonders of the world and that very subtle little secret it gives you pause doesn't it.....? Hemiunu spent a considerable amount of time working on this grand vision for his King. I'm pretty sure every moment of that twenty year period was spend meticulously going over every detail and every angle to ensure it was perfect. How many of us work that diligently on a project or are willing to devote that much effort to the most seemingly invisible details? As we sit here on our soft plump bottoms sipping our coco tonight, I would just love to expand on a few thoughts we have covered earlier this year. Oh sure we have covered some of the easy stuff like dressing well and digital flirtations, but tonight I really feel like we should go for a walk. It's cold out tonight so As I slip into my super soft and fuzzy ankle length fur coat before we go, do be a dear and pay very close attention as I seductively slide into it. You see girls there is so much more to a woman's life than just sitting around cackling like a bunch of hen's. It's our subtle movement and the subconscious signals we transmit to everyone around us. Everywhere I go I blend in seamlessly because my movements are well practiced. I emulate other women and model myself after them. All other girls do the very same thing from an early age.... that's the big secret we will never admit. What we women do is simple, we pretend to be the wonderful women we admire. We behave and do things in a similar manner to our idols. Just admit it you played air guitar while listening to Van Halen, everybody has. All of us have done it at one time or another. We see something and try to copy it. Feminine movement and rhythm is the very same way. You were pretending then and that is what we women still do today. Hemiunu didn't start out as Khufu's vizier, he practiced his trade and mastered his skill and eventually was made a vizier. Weather he pretended to be a great architect we will never know but Hemiunu was a master at his craft. The nearly invisible indenting on each side of his masterpiece prove it. That girls is what you must strive for. That ladies is your goal. If you truly desire to walk the streets with me and hear the simply delicious clack my heels make when I walk then this is what it takes. Keep in mind though nay will I ever shun a sister but I won't just have coco with anyone. Before you gal's came over tonight not only did I spend a few moments primping to ensure I'm high in the pecking order, I also had to brew the hot chocolate and get out the serving tray with those simply adorable mugs...

Bennie Lee's Election Roundup
I wanted to take
this opportunity to thank all of those who supported or expressed
interest in my recent campaign for the presidency of the United
States. No politician worth his or her salt is ever expected
to express their doubts in regard to the success of their campaign
before an election. However, now that it is over I must
confess the obvious, which is that I was aware all along that this was
a quixotic venture. I would like to think that the success or
failure of the campaign is a secondary issue and that the real victory
lies in having in some small way enhanced the appreciation of
the public at large in regard to its perception of transgendered people
as serious and civic-minded members of society. Due to American election laws which, in the case of most states, do not even tally votes for write-in presidential candidates there is no way of knowing how many votes were actually cast for my ticket. Nevertheless, our campaigns' websites registered over 15,000 "hits." Additionally, the campaign received coverage from print publications as diverse as the GLBT magazines Liberty Press and Ozark Star and staid local newspapers such as the Hutchinson News in my hometown, as well as Kansas City's Jewish Chronicle. The campaign was also covered by CBS television affiliate KWCH and Fox News. Several online publications featured interviews, including the San Francisco Bay Times, Southern Voice, Arabian Monkey, Pagan Temple, and, of course, the Tranny Tribune. Personal campaign
appearances included speeches to various transgendered support groups
and a fact-finding mission to the Middle East and Europe in November of
2007. It is fair and accurate to estimate that hundreds of
thousands of people throughout the world were at least aware of the
campaign. Once again, thank
you all for your support and interest, especially the membership and
administration of Trannyweb. Trannyweb now sells Repartee Magazine

Trannyweb Short Story Competition 2008 - Winners! by Katie Glover  Our Short Story Competition
is now over for another year. The entries are all in and a
winner has been chosen from them.As always, the standard of writing has been very good throughout and so it was quite difficult to choose an overall winner. Before I reveal who this year's winner is, can I give a mention to two great entries that almost made it to the top spot. Firstly "Correcting My Walk" by Stephen Whitaker from Virginia, in the United States. You can read this entry by clicking here. Our second runner-up is "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" by Mina Sakura. A well known, professional author, Mina had no problem securing a place in the final three. You can see her story by clicking here. And finally on to our winner. In contrast to the number two position, our winning entry came from someone who is not a writer but simply a TG person who has been trying to find herself. This comes across in her work which is autobiographical. We particularly like this story because of its simplicity. It is a genuine account of a first visit to a dressing service and it comes from the heart. Ladies and Gentlemen, please put your hands together for the winner of The Trannyweb Short Story Competition 2008... Karen receives Trannyweb Full Membership for a year. All three finalists receive a Trannyweb Mousemat to remind them of their achievement. 
All four of Dr Mina
Sakura's Downloadable Tranny Books are now available for one very
heavily discounted price if you buy them together. |
