The Tranny Tribune - May 2009

Greetings from your editor, Meredith Newton...

Once again, we have quite a bit going on. This month we are featuring a short piece by TW member Josie Brissette concerning legal protections for TG persons.

Our two interviews for May are quite important. For our segment “What Has Trannyweb Done for Me?,” we are featuring UK TW member Alison Bound. Ali provides quite a few interesting insights into her life as an MTF TS. I believe her candid remarks may help others understand and accept their own situations.

For our celebrity interview, this month we are featuring Rori Petros Scheffler, is who a star in the TG community in the U.S. Besides running a shop called “Transformations by Rori,” she is also very active in many TG organizations and events.

Rori especially strives to make sure that there is no shame in being who we are, and encourages us to walk with our heads held high. She is one of the sweetest women you will ever meet, and she works tirelessly to help those who are transgendered.

Okay, let’s get to it!

It was one of those wonderful Sundays when the entire town of Chicago decided to visit my museum. That’s good for business, the kids always enjoy themselves, and being busy is better than being bored. I figured to have my usual routine for the day. Thankfully, it was not to be.

“Newton, we’re sending you over to the boat today. They’re short-handed there,” my boss said. Hey, no problem! Like with the coal mine we have, I love working the U-505 (an actual captured German WWII sub) on a busy day. I had a feeling I would get switched over, so I made sure I had on my good eyeliner, with a subtle shade of red eye shadow. However, in my morning preparations, I chose a pair of shoes with a bright red color, not quite as subtle as my eye makeup, but adorable anyway. I liked them. As it would turn out, this would be a solitary opinion.

In my job, wearing skirts or dresses is not a good idea. How it’s worked is that when it is not your turn to do a U boat tour it is your job to help take tickets. So there I was in my white silk blouse, jeans, and red pumps, working the line for the U boat. I thought I looked cute.

On a day like this, it is most likely we will sell out all tickets within an hour, which did in fact happen. It was my turn on the line taking tickets. Since I also work as a college teacher, so fielding all sorts of questions is old hat to me. But it is truly amazing what some people can come up with. My first clue as to what sort of day this would be appeared when a couple of people came up to me...

Employment Practices: A Proposal
by Josephine Brissette

JosiJosie Brissette has been a TW member since 2007. She is a GG who has been interested, and involved in, the TG community for some time now. She classifies herself not as a “tranny admirer” but a “tranny supporter.” In this short piece she briefly discusses what needs to be examined in terms of legislative protection for TG persons.

Many employers discriminate against transsexuals because of their physical appearance...

What Has Trannyweb Done for Me?

This month we feature Alison Bound, an MTF TS. Alison lives in Wolverhampton, UK. She has been a TW member for almost two years. Alison graciously took the time to speak about her experiences with Meredith Newton.

Alison BoundMeredith: How early on did you realize you were a girl?

Alison: I was 6 and it was the summer of 1976. I had recently had my tonsils removed and recall wondering why I could not be made to be like my sister. My behaviour had been remarked on to my parents from the age of four by someone at nursery as being sissy, so I have known most of my life because I had been differentiated.

Meredith: What were your early years like?

Alison: I was an easy target for bullying as I was gentle and unassertive. My home life was turbulent and I was picked on by my dad a lot. I used to dress on any occasion that I could and got caught several times. A very big deal was made of it, which I found confusing because in my early years my parents had been fine with it and had often said that they thought I should have been born a girl.

In-House Pharmacy

Brandi Nawrocki This month we speak with Rori Petros Scheffler, is who is a star in the TG community in the U.S. Rori did her first professional show at the age of 14, and has been in love with eyelashes ever since. At the age of 16, while dancing in an opera company in New York, her first formal makeup training came from the superb artistes at the Metropolitan Opera.

She and her son/daughter, Soto/Lisa, are the proud owners of “Transformations by Rori” in Arlington Heights, Illinois. “I named the business Transformations because every woman I’ve ever met (young or old) has always wanted to change something about themselves….we are all evolving.” Rori is actively involved with many TG organizations and events, and she inspires TG persons to feel good about themselves and not to feel any shame.

Meredith: Thanks so much for taking the time to speak with us! What is your background?

Rori: I am blessed to have had more than one dream come true in my life. I was a professional singer and dancer in New York and Washington DC before coming to Chicago. Here, I was the assistant director of a dance company for nine years. When I retired from performing, then teaching and doing choreography, I started my own theatrical management company, called “Roring Productions.” When business waned and the nightclub market changed, my husband and I opened our own nightclub/restaurant, which was called “Rori’s. It was a block south of The Baton.

Meredith: How did you get into creating Transformations? What struggles have you had?

Rori: I’ve always loved makeup and designing. While we had our nightclub, we did Pampering Parties on Mondays nights for the ladies. I would have different jewelry people, once in a while, makeovers…it got me started and opened some new doors.
